Development

During 2001, Sunrise worked with Dengeki Hobby Magazine on creating a new Eldran series for its 10th anniversary celebration by supplying them with the story board and images. Considered a one-shot series, it was originally adapted into a manga before an OVA is animated. Almost 8 years after the pilot episode aired, Daiteioh was included in Namco-Bandai and Banpresto's Super Robot Wars NEO. Sunrise and Starchild Records released a high definition remastered version of the original short video of the series with newly recorded voices, bundled in the Eldran Series Blu-ray Box.
