Super Dimension Century Orguss
Japanese anime television series
Super Dimension Century Orguss (Japanese: 超時空世紀オーガス, Hepburn: Chōjikū Seiki Ōgasu) is an anime science fiction series produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. It inspired an OVA sequel series called Orguss 02. Orguss was the second part of the Super Dimension trilogy from Big West, preceded by The Super Dimension Fortress Macross and followed by The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross..
Of the Orguss' 35 episodes, only 17 were available in English. They were available 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 released 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. The first 17 episodes would also have the old U.S. Renditions dub, but due to lack of sales, the program was discontinued. Discotek Media has since licensed the series for a DVD re-release in 2015. Discotek released Orguss on DVD on September 29, 2015, including the dub episodes. On September 28, 2021, Discotek released the complete 35-episode TV series on Blu-ray in North America.

Why this record matters
“Super Dimension Century Orguss” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Super, Dimension and Century provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5922495. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2015 and 2021.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
