Super Dimension Century Orguss (Japanese: 超時空世紀オーガス Hepburn: Chōjikū Seiki Ōgasu?) 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 trilogy from Big West, preceded by The Super Dimension Fortress Macross and 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. However because Orguss' main storyline was inconsistent and drastically different from the previous two, they were unable to match the series within the Robotech storyline, instead the Genesis Climber Mospeada anime 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 " moniker in their titles and were presented by Big West. That was the only connection among all of the Super Dimension series.
Of the Orguss' 35 episodes, only 17 of them 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.
