Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This compilation film stitches TV episodes 1-13 with new footage, largely because the original L-Gaim series bombed in ratings.

Insight

Tomino allegedly disowned this edit; watch the full series if you want his actual vision, not this Frankenstein rush job.
