Trivia:

This OVA is based on the Konami arcade game "Salamander", which is itself a spinoff of "Gradius", Konami's extremely famous series of space shooter games.

Each episode is based on a specific Gradius or Salamander game: Episode 1, "Saramanda", is based on the original "Salamander"; Episode 2, "Saramanda: Meisou no PAORA", is based on the original "Gradius"; Episode 3, "Saramanda: GOFER no Yabou", is based on "Gradius 2: GOFER no Yabou".

Some of the music in the episodes are actually redone versions of songs from the respective games the episodes are based off of.

When everyone is looking at the recon footage of Planet Salamander during episode 1, the footage shown is actually the layout of Stage 1 of Salamander/Life Force. During the end credits of episode 2, the layout of Stage 1 of Gradius is shown.
