I only remember them showing 13 episodes. Were there any more episodes released beyond those 13 I saw? Has Saban ever released it on home video?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile Dragon Warrior lasted only 13 episodes in the US, the Japanese version of the Akira Toriyama Dragon Quest series ran for 43 episodes, beginning in 1990.  A second Dragon Quest TV series, titled Dragon Quest: Dai&#8217;s Big Adventure, began in 1991.  This second series also had 3 movies.  A fourth, stand-alone movie titled Dragon Quest: Emblem of Roto, based on the long-running Emblem of Roto Dragon Quest manga story, premiered in Japan in the late 1990s.  Since then, there has been no new Dragon Quest anime, but the series may see a revival soon, as Enix is preparing to release the very highly anticipated Dragon Quest 7 video game in Japan for the Playstation.  (Dragon Quest easily rivals Final Fantasy&#8217;s popularity in Japan, although the series is relatively unknown in the US.)  Dragon Warrior was never officially released on home-video in the US, so the only way to find it nowadays is to find a fan that recorded it from TV that&#8217;s willing to make copies for you.  I haven&#8217;t heard of any plans for the series to get any sort of re-release in the US in the foreseeable future, but there&#8217;s always a possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: I remember back in the early 90&#8217;s watching the Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest) anime series on TV and that it was released by Saban.
