Converting Anime from NTSC to PAL any real point?

In 16 years of watching anime on video I only ever had one TV that couldn't display NTSC properly, squashing the image slightly between two small borders. Today I can't imagine that many people who aren't 90 and still using the same TV they bought in 1955 will have a problem with NTSC.

ADV released their first few DVDs, including Gunsmith Cats, in NTSC format. I wonder how many complaints they had...

Its more towards people who brought European TV's which were designed to be PAL only. But you be able to run NTSC fine if you had Japanese Company TV as they used the same TV models for the PAL versions but left NTSC function in.

It looks like Oh My Goddess 5 Part OVA was NTSC region 2 UK release also.

Now now. The 15 year-old television in my bedroom displays a monochrome image when connected to an NTSC signal. That's why our framerates must be adjusted.

If it plays fine except for the colour then it is not a frame rate problem but one of colour encoding. If your DVD and TV both support RGB SCART then you can probably correct this by using a fully-wired cable (although in our case when we wanted to play an NTSC-encoded educational DVD-R on our old CRT we also needed to upgrade our SCART switch box).
