超時空世紀オーガス オーガス
[i][b]Choujikuu Seiki Orguss[/b][/i] (超時空世紀オーガス), known in English as [i][b]The Super Dimension Century Orguss[/b][/i], is a [[mecha]] science fiction TV series. It debuted on July 3, 1983 in Japan. The weekly series lasted 35 episodes. 

Orguss was the second part of [i]"The Super Dimension Trilogy"[/i] from Big West, preceded by [[Choujikuu Yousai Macross|The Super Dimension Fortress Macross]] (1982) and then followed by [[Choujikuu Kidan Southern Cross|The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross]] (1984). All these series were related in name only.

The first [[Orguss]] series had mechanical designs by [[Miyatake Kazutaka]] and character designs by [[Mikimoto Haruhiko]].

It is notable for being one of the first anime titles with an opening title song ([i]"Hyouryuu"[/i]), composed, arranged and sung by an American musician (the late [b]Casey Rankin[/b]).

Also of note is its main plot. While many mecha anime of the time and afterwards were [[space]] operas set mostly in an outer space environment Orguss dealt with the concepts of multiverses, alternate dimensions and/or different realities for the most part. 

This series is also one of the first sci-fi anime works to depict a [[space elevator]], along with [[uchuu_kuubo_blue_noah|Space Carrier Blue Noah]].
