is an anime science fiction series. It inspired an OVA sequel series called ''Super Dimension Century Orguss 02''. ''Orguss'' was the second part of ''The Super Dimension'' trilogy from Big West, preceded by ''The Super Dimension Fortress Macross'' and then followed by ''The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross''. ''Orguss'' was originally planned to be used as the third season of ''Robotech'' in the United States just as the two other Super Dimension series (''Macross'' and ''Southern Cross'') were used for the two first seasons. Instead, the anime ''Genesis Climber Mospeada'' was used as the third segment of ''Robotech''. Additionally, these three series are not sequels, prequels, or even in the same story universe as one another. They do share "The Super Dimension" moniker in their titles and were presented by Big West. That was the only connection that each of the Super Dimension shows had with each other. Of the ''Orguss 35 episodes, only 17 of them were available in English in dub-only format in the early 1990s on video tape from U.S. Renditions, before the majority of the company's shows (excluding ''Orguss'') were bought up by Manga Entertainment. Manga Entertainment did however release ''Orguss 02'' on both video tape and DVD. On April 16, 2007, ImaginAsian announced that they would broadcast ''Super Dimension Century Orguss'' on ImaginAsian TV, and would thereafter give the series its first complete North American DVD release, with the first 17 episodes also having the old U.S. Renditions dub. Unfortunately, due to lack of sales, the program was discontinued. Discotek Media has since licensed the series for a DVD re-release in 2015. ==Basic synopsis== The year is 2062. The world is at war. The two superpowers clash over the space elevator. Far more dangerous than atomic, biological, or chemical weapons are dimensional weapons, such as the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb. Despite the tremendous power of this bomb, it must be armed on-site by a team of engineers. Desperately, the Freedom Space Corps launch an offensive to plant a Space/Time Oscillation Bomb and destroy the space elevator. During this attack, the engineers are forced to abort the mission and destroy the bomb before it can be properly armed. Enraged at the decision to abort and feeling that his comrades have died in vain, brash fighter pilot Kei Katsuragi haphazardly arms the bomb with severe repercussions. A dimensional explosion transports Kei and his Bronco 2 variable fighter to a severely damaged future. There he is pursued for unknown reasons by the militaristic Chilam and aided by the Gypsie-like Emaan. Both sides have some unknown interest in Kei referring to him as a . Originally translated by US Renditions as "Differentiated Idioblast", it is more properly translated as "Singularity". In the ''ImaginAsian'' version, it has been translated as an "Idiosyncratic Point". After Kei's fighter is damaged during a fight the Emaan modify it into the ''Orguss'', the eponymous mecha from the series.〔''Super Dimension Century Orguss'' Episode 4. 1983.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super Dimension Century Orguss」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
