I guess you could research the origins of the most popular ONAs (or the ones you personally liked most) to find out where they first appeared. Maybe there's one place they all come from and we don't know it.

A lot of ONAs get released either through the [Bandai Channel](http://www.b-ch.com/) or on [Nico Nico Douga](http://www.nicovideo.jp/). Releases on the Bandai Channel are usually region locked and sometimes, they're re-release them on their [Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/BandaiChannel) (which, sometimes, is also region locked). Nico has an English version of the site which makes it a lot more accessible.

Both sites are free, Nico requires registration to view most videos and there is also a "Premium" member access.
