This was entirely a case of polishing a turd, and they didn't even give me a cloth to do it with. When Matt Greenfield didn't want to get his hands dirty... excuse me, filthier... he handed it off. It was my turn in the barrel, and you should have seen what I had to work with. I added stuff to keep me (and, I hope, my three viewers) entertained... like the sunrise over "Mount Salaya" (Trekkers should know that one) and a few other touches. However, no matter how much polishing, a turd remains a turd. This is one I have to look at and laugh, like some of the rotten productions (studio and live shows) that I've been in. They can't all be Gendo. :D
Hmm in Poland (year 2000) cost ~65$. Now price is around 350$ allegro.pl/panzer-dragoon-saga-sega-saturn-i7121533336.html Second way to try this game is SSF emulator or Saturn Swap Trick.
@SEGA-SKY: Lucky you! In the States, finding Saturn games even during the console's prime was a treasure hunt--at least, it was in the two states I checked. There's a great many Saturn and Dreamcast games I'm itching to catch up on. Emulation certainly is an enticing option.
Hmmm strange. Saturn in Europe have a good support from SEGA. If you have some money - many store sells you a new game. Dreamcast in Poland also have a lot of big fans. Game and accesories are still cheap. PS. bravewave.fangamer.com/products/panzer-dragoon-anniversary-soundtrack
I'm so shocked as to how they used almost "current" anime sprites and art into something from 1995... any actual anime fans know what the art looks like from anime of this date, this is simply amazing what they did here
I liked the idea of Alita being blind - she had her other senses strengthened as a result. The designs for the Black Dragon, Blau and the characters look good - it's just a shame the story was badly written and rushed, and the dialogue badly recorded. 😞 It could have been so much better.
orta would be an easy HD remake for xbox one (maybe ps4 with a VR component?) and of course pc with VR component. Motion controls on ps4 would be cool to and using kinect on xbox one. Wish they would try completely remaking saga as well (since they lost the code) but all this is unlikely with the failure of crimson dragon :(
It was "Alita", but the actors didn't always punch that "t" sound every time. Like Dragonball Z, chunks of this anime were just screaming, trying to match lip-flaps with some kind of dialog. Dubbing is an inexact science, or it was at the time. And as I mentioned in another comment, this show really was an adventure in trying to polish a turd. :D
This was spectacularly crap. I loved the original games, but they just have to go ahead and throw in a girl, because Anime girl story trope. It couldn't simply be about the original story which was compelling enough as it was. Plus the voice acting in this is just atrocious.
I mean, those were the days when Sega was still doing things. Now, they just whore out Sonic to Nintendo to bastardize and let Mario gizz all over them.
This was a real missed opportunity as Panzer Dragoon has a rich universe. This anime is ok but it's nothing special. The Empire and the inner workings of the universe aren't really explained nor hinted at. The relationship between Kyle and Blau deserved more attention too. The worst part is the English dub. My goodness is that atrocious. Maybe it's better in the original Japanese.
You should have seen the transliterated script they gave me to work with. I did what I could with it, but I own it: A polished turd is still a turd! :D
Tristan Black Wolf I love old school ovas if u find any obscure rare ones with a lot of action in them, martial arts, mecha, fantasy, whatever throw em up I’ll watch em, crappy dialogue and all lol😆
lol why this ova is so boringgg, the games are so good, but this?? this is like seeing the wall of my house for 25 minutes straight without doing anything

Take a shot or a sip every time you hear the name, Alita.

Wait. YOU'RE Tristan MacAvery!? Holy cow! I LOVE your voicework!
With such a lush world, how has no one expanded on this series properly.
I own this and forgot what it was like I haven't seen it in so long. They hit a lot of the notes of the first, and it moves quick.
Panzer dragoon is my childhood game :)
shitty choice of a fucking game
ᅚᅚᅚ your a shitty choice of your parents
I've played the first game and "Zwei" back in the '90s, but I didn't know this existed. Thanks, guy.
;) Finished all Panzer Dragoon games (included awesome PDSaga & Orta). Now playin on PC version of first Panzer Dragoon.
SEGA-SKY: How hard was it to find "Saga"? I don't remember ever seeing it in the stores circa '98, but it's in one of my old "Sega Force" magazines.

Not to bad, lots pumped into a 30 minute blast. Worth a watch.
I agree in 100%! Light and fast title.

Lol the shape of destiny line gets me every time.
We deserve a series of this.
I'm sure EVERYONE forgot about this.. Can't find it anywhere. Thnx for the upload
I never did 😅 I just didn't care to dig through my VHS box
Kyle’s retort about that dude’s granny was savage.
got this game running on my laptop windows 10 love female dragons forever and dragons forever :) we must save them
Hope we see a PC remake of Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Saga and ORTA. #SEGA
Gotta love that gloriously cheesy '90s CGI.
So this is what...the sky feels like.
You know you're in for some quality cheese when an anime takes itself this seriously 😳
So the Blue Dragon is called Blau? Was he ever called that in the actual game?
If it has dragons im gonna watch it.
I liked the idea of Alita being blind - she had her other senses strengthened as a result.
The designs for the Black Dragon, Blau and the characters look good - it's just a shame the story was badly written and rushed, and the dialogue badly recorded. 😞
It could have been so much better.
I agree 100%.
In addition, SEGA has so many great series to shoot animation on. Hopefully they won't be treated like Panzer Dragoon.
How come Blau never spoke in the games?
Why can’t they remake this into something incredible like they did with Voltron?
Money money money :)
Sega's too afraid these days. Letting important games from our childhood go to rot.
orta would be an easy HD remake for xbox one (maybe ps4 with a VR component?) and of course pc with VR component. Motion controls on ps4 would be cool to and using kinect on xbox one.

Sad but true. No chance to remake one of the best rpg (PDS). But Orta is also awesome. So?! #SEGAForever !
It's such a shame that they can't just re-release the PC version of the first game on Steam.
Wow. That was worse than Slayers Premium.
β===® "The shape of Destiny"
IT HAD AN ANIME???
Uhm 😇
Oh Gawd, I wanted to love this as a massive fan of the games, but it's just terrible. Had to turn it off after 10 minutes.
@Shin Shaman You seem like the only crybaby here, leaving pointlessly childish remarks on comments well over a year old.
Haha, yeah. I'm the biggest PD fan but this is the worst PD related thing that was made. Even PD mini is cooler than this.
3:57 Yeah , it's a Dragon, SO WHAT!?
This voice acting is just superbly cheesy. Is it Alita or Alika? I swear I heard them say both in a span of about 2 seconds at around 6:15
Better than nothing ^^

It's "Etika". Named after the TH-cam who died.
voices way off and what episode was this?
Hey is int the action non exsistent?
What did i just watch?
Hmmm a thriller! 😊

Sweet Jesus, it really is as bad as everyone says. Who greenlit this glorious shit pile?

Better than nothing 😇
@@SEGA_SKY Yeah it's at least amusing.
Thats Meryl från Metal Gear.
No, you are.
The animation is cool but the plot is weak and dialogue corny and cringe worthy even for 90’S standards
You should have seen the transliterated script they gave me to work with. I did what I could with it, but I own it: A polished turd is still a turd! :D
Tristan Black Wolf I understand if your hands were tied, what could you do, at least you gave it a shot, kudos for that
Tristan Black Wolf I love old school ovas if u find any obscure rare ones with a lot of action in them, martial arts, mecha, fantasy, whatever throw em up I’ll watch em, crappy dialogue and all lol😆
impossible shit
lol why this ova is so boringgg, the games are so good, but this?? this is like seeing the wall of my house for 25 minutes straight without doing anything
