Super Robot Wars Original Generation: Divine Wars (スーパーロボット大戦OG -ディバイン・ウォーズ- Sūpā Robotto Taisen Ōjī Dibain Wōzu?) is a Japanese anime series, that retells the events from the Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation game, a game featuring only original characters and mechs created by Banpresto for the Super Robot Wars franchise. A sequel titled Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector (スーパーロボット大戦OG ジ・インスペクター Sūpā Robotto Taisen Ōjī Jī Insupektā?) began airing on the October 1, 2010.
The anime is not a direct adaptation of the original video game, it includes several changes to the plot. While the original game allows the player to decide which of the two protagonists' stories they will follow, the animated series focuses on Ryusei Date's side of the story, with all the other characters already introduced.
It is two hundred years after the beginning of the Space Era, when human civilization on Earth began expanding into space. However, by the start of the 21st century, two meteors struck the planet, sending humanity into chaos. By the year 179 of the Space Era, secret technology, dubbed Extra-Over Technology, or EOT, was discovered by the Earth Federal Government within a third meteor that hit Earth in the Marquesas Islands of the South Pacific. Dr. Bian Zoldark, head of the EOTI Institute (Extra-Over Technological Investigative Institute), had evidence the creators of the EOT were heading to Earth, in order to reclaim it...or worse, invade the planet. In order to defend humanity from extraterrestrial threats, the government begins to research and develop humanoid mecha called Personal Troopers.
