The ''Daikaijuu Monogatari'' series is presumed dormant since the turn of the Millenium, although a mobile ReMake of the 1994 game was released in 2006. This series is one of the ''Dragon Quest'' [[FollowTheLeader clones]] out there, but one of the better ones. BIRTHDAY has been working on many properties in recent times, including the anime ''FushigiboshiNoFutagohime''.
