A three-part OVA adaptation of Galerians called "Galerians: Rion" was released in Japan in 2002. The English dub was compiled into one film and premiered on MTV2 in 2004, sporting an alternate soundtrack featuring popular nu-metal artists of the time like Skinny Puppy and Slipknot. Footage from this film was later re-used for cutscenes in the game's sequel, Galerians: Ash.

The structures of the songs "STAGE A-1" in Galerians and "Buseki" in Galerians: Ash appear to be based on an unauthorized sample of a percussion loop from the song "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails.

There are two unused PPECs that can only be seen in the ASCII Zenmai demo disc version. They are Platon, a PPEC that appears to be an early version of the scan and shorting abilities in the final game, and Maggy, an early version of D-Felon.
