Aura Battler Dunbine (聖戦士ダンバイン, Seisenshi Danbain, literally Holy Warrior Dunbine) is an anime television series created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and produced by Sotsu and Sunrise. Forty-nine episodes aired on Nagoya TV from February 5, 1983, to January 21, 1984. A three-episode anime OVA sequel entitled New Story of Aura Battler Dunbine (also known as The Tale of Neo Byston Well) was released in 1988. The series was later dubbed by ADV Films and was released to DVD in North America, along with the original Japanese version in 2003. It soon went out of print, and until 2018, was only available as a digital purchase from the now-defunct Daisuki site,[3] then Sentai Filmworks licensed the series.[4]
