History Trivia / SuperDimensionCenturyOrguss

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Carl Macek had originally intended ''Anime/SuperDimensionCenturyOrguss'' on being the second ''Robotech'' series (and ''Southern Cross'' as the third), since it was the second in the the "Super Dimension Trilogy" that started with ''Super Dimension Fortress Macross'' and ended with ''Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross''. All three shows were un-related in story, but all were from the same studio, and shared many production team members and story concepts. When he couldn't secure the license to ''Orguss'', ''Southern Cross'' was moved up to being the second series, and Tatsunoko's ''Anime/GenesisClimberMospeada'' was chosen for the third.

* ''Super Dimension Century Orguss'' is noteworthy in that it apparently inspired the "resolution" to the DC comics multiverse, as depicted in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''. The conflict in both Orguss and the DC Crisis was driven by the instability of TheMultiverse -- DC by inter-universal conflicts, Orguss by the inherent dangers of a [[WorldOfWeirdness patchwork world]]. Both were resolved by not only erasing the world as its inhabitants know it, but also erasing all knowledge of the cataclysmic world.

''SuperDimension Century Orguss'' is noteworthy in that it apparently inspired the "resolution" to the DC comics multiverse, as depicted in ''Crisis on Infinite Earths''. Just as in Orguss, the world that was created was a patchwork of previous dimensions.
* They're different concepts, however. Orguss's Earth was a [[PlanetEris patchwork world]] made of pieces of various realities, while the [[CrisisOnInfiniteEarths post-Crisis]] DCUniverse had its history changed so Parallel Earths never existed, therefore all its characters always lived in the same world (and did not remember TheMultiverse.)
