Gazaria's evil emperor Vince conquers the neighbor worlds of Kal and Granad, and suddenly only Platoon #801, also known as Condition Green, stands between him and the conquest of Emerald Earth.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This OVA was part of a multi-media blitz including drama CDs and novels — the voice cast recorded their death scenes separately to preserve genuine shock reactions.
Condition Green exemplifies the 'kimi ga tame' subgenre: young soldiers dying beautifully for homeland, a post-bubble Japan obsession with glorious futility.
