Super Dimension Century Orguss	comment	Orguss is a 1983 anime series from Studio Nue (the creators of Macross), and TMS Entertainment (the studio that did Ulysses 31).In the year 2065, the world's two superpowers are fighting over the control of a Space Elevator. Fighter pilot Kei Katsuragi and his friend Olson are assigned to just blow the damn thing up, providing escort for engineers using a new "dimensional" weapon of mass destruction - the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb. However, everything goes wrong when the engineers die before it can be set off. Kei is ordered to abandon and self-destruct the bomb, but instead chooses to start fiddling with it.One flash of light later, Kei finds himself hurled into what he believes is another world... or is it? As it turns out, the world he ends up in is Earth; however, it is an Earth that is made up of many different dimensions... many alternate Earths squashed together - where dinosaurs evolved into a sentient species, where mankind was destroyed in a Robot War, where monarchies never fell, etc. When Kei started fiddling with the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb, he ended up turning the space-time of the entire planet into kudzu. A kudzu world with an expiration date, as the dimensional effect is maintaining itself at roughly a few miles above the planet's surface, and is trapping enough heat in the atmosphere that everyone will bake to death in a few more years. Kei ends up on the Emaan flying ship Glomar, joining its crew of gypsy-like traders on a quest across the planet and back to restore the pre-STOB world before all life is exterminated.Not as popular, but more imaginative, than its older brother, Orguss is the second show in the "Super Dimension" series, between Super Dimension Fortress Macross and Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross.A six-episode sequel OVA, Orguss 02 done by J.C. Staff (of Slayers fame), was released in 1993. The story is set in a completely different world; at first, the only ties to the original series are the Orguss and Nikick mecha buried around the world, along with the ruins of the orbital elevator where everything started. The kingdoms of Rivilia and Zafrin have both learned how to rebuild the ruined "armors" (or "Decimators" in the English dub) using their World War II-level Schizo Tech, and the cold war between them is on the verge of igniting. But more of the original story resurfaces as young Rivilian mechanic Lean is sucked into the conflict between the nations, and meets Nataruma, an escaped Zafrin agent with strange powers, a chip on her shoulder, and an unusual heritage...Orguss plays a big role in Super Robot Wars Z. Specifically, the Space-Time Oscillation Bomb Kei blew up at the beginning of the series was the catalyst for merging all the worlds and all the problems that came with it.

Super Dimension Century Orguss / int_1eed8e76	comment	The Juggernaut: The enormous "Verifier" mecha that Zafrin excavates in the second episode is able to decimate anything in its path, and withstand any attacks against it; its only weakness is how quickly psychic monks burn out operating the sensors (justifying Nataruma's importance). Even Perion's plan to destroy it by using nuclear weapons only destroys its legs — and it still drags itself onward with its arms until Perion reveals his Superweapon Surprise, the equally huge and pristine mecha Libo.

Super Dimension Century Orguss / int_1f294c9a	comment	Bystander Action-Horror Dissonance: Nataruma is Blessed with Suck to have this as a side effect of her Psychic Powers. During the story, while bonding with the mechanic turned rookie spy Lean as they try to escape the country of Zafrin, she repeatedly experiences visions of the horrors of war as they impact those around them — particularly a kindly old Zafrin man who helps them at one point. In her backstory, the Zafrin military raised her to psychically project the targets for artillery barrages, leaving her to experience the trauma of the enemies being torn to shreds. During the final battle of the series, both Nataruma and Lean share a vision of the arm of Prince Parion's Libo mecha falling on the people of the town they're fighting over — and immediately realize they need to move the battle elsewhere.

The Chilam still have some scheme to control Kei and Olson when they repair space-time, and it's heavily implied the Emaan have something up their sleeves too. Kei and Olson reach the Great Singularity Point just as it is about to be destroyed by a meteor... only to find that the GSP is actually the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb locked in the moment before its activation along with the Kei and Olson from the prologue. The older Kei and Olson realize the implications immediately and draw their weapons, resulting in their past selves drawing their own, followed by four gunshots. With everyone capable of activating it dead, the bomb self-destructs, ending an otherwise Stable Time Loop. Thus, every timeline began flowing separately, making all possible endings true.

Amazingly, the reconnaissance versions called Ishfons qualify more for Cannon Fodder than the regular versions. In an ironic twist, the toy versions of the Ishkicks made by Takatoku are notoriously fragile - especially the legs.

Which isn't too surprising seeing as how it's the same character designer. Mimsy in particular looks like Minmei but with Misa's hair color. Olson is essentially Athena's Quattro, straight down to the mentor role and sunglasses... except Orguss aired before Zeta Gundam. And he's voiced by Bright Noah himself too!
