Fire Emblem is a Japanese anime OVA based on Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, the third game in Nintendo's Fire Emblem series, which in turn included a remake of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, the first game in the series. Produced by the studio KSS, the OVA is only two episodes long and covers only a very small part of the game's plot. Both episodes were released in dubbed and subtitled formats in North America on VHS by ADV Films in 1997, making it the first licensed Fire Emblem media to see an official release outside of Japan.
Produced long before any of the Fire Emblem games were released in North America, several character names as translated by ADV Films do not match up with the officially localized counterparts that were later adopted by Nintendo. For example, the name of the lead character Marth was translated as "Mars" by ADV Films. The character's first official western appearance under the name Marth came with the release of Super Smash Bros. Melee.
