Initially, 52 episodes were planned for this series, but only 38 episodes were produced due to the show's cancellation.
Bandai Entertainment originally planned to release the series on DVD in North America in the summer of 2001. However, the company received damaged, blue-tinted video masters from the show's production company, Sunrise, and could not obtain replacements. Bandai's North American distribution rights expired in 2005 before any DVD release was made.
An unused mecha design for the show, the Layzner Mk. II, can be seen in the opening credits. However, the craft has subsequently made appearances as a playable unit in certain installments of Banpresto's mecha-themed strategy RPG video game series, "Super Robot Taisen" (Super Robot Wars).
The series takes place in 1996.
