Plot Summary: Iria is the story of a girl and the Alien being she loves to hate. The series begins with her brother, Gren, taking a job. He is a bounty hunter, and one well known for his incredible skill. Iria, being a skilled apprentice bounty hunter herself, tags along. What is the job, one might ask. It is to find out what has happened to the crew and cargo of a Space Station. Needless to say, nothing is as it seems, and the war between Iria and Zeiram begins in earnest.

Zeiramu Ji Animēshon ), stylized as I・Я・I・A ZЁIЯAM THE ANIMATION, is a six-episode original video animation (OVA) anime series produced by Ashi Productions and directed by Tetsurō Amino. The series serves as a prequel to the original live-action film Zeiram, taking place several years earlier wh the female bounty hunter protagonist Iria is still a rookie and detailing the evts surrounding her first counter with the unstoppable Zeiram. This does somewhat contradict the films, which imply that Iria's first counter with Zeiram was in the first film.
Iria: A Confluence Of Cultures
The story begins with Iria as an apprtice to her older brother, Gr, a veteran bounty hunter, and his partner Bob, who work for Ghomvak Security along with a somewhat loutish hunter named Fujikuro. During a rescue mission to a hijacked spaceship called the Karma, they discover that the hijacker is actually a seemingly indestructible ali called Zeiram that broke out of the cargo hold during transit and began to massacre the crew. Bob is critically wounded by Zeiram while evacuating the survivors, and Gr is lost while attempting to kill Zeiram by destroying the Karma. Returning to Myce, Iria finds herself targeted by assassins working for Tedan Tippedai, the corporation that owned the Karma, and discovers a covered-up plot to control Zeiram in order to use it as a weapon. Iria escapes with the help of Fujikuro and reunites with Bob, who never recovered from his injuries but had his mind downloaded into a computer program. Together they continue to investigate rumours that Zeiram has appeared on Myce, and try to find out what happed to Gr, who also seems to have survived the Karma's destruction....
Iria hails from the Batabitajira region of the planet Myce and is employed by Ghomvak Security & Investigations, a bounty hunting agcy. She is something of a tomboy and is considered ecctric for her habit of wearing m's hair ornamts. Her hunter ID number is 9799-5. A hunter's rank is idtified by the colour of a stone pdant which resembles a magatama. Iria's pdant as an apprtice is pink with two small dots on it, but wh she receives her full licse and ID number she is giv a blue stone with three red dots on it. Although she is just a rookie at first and a bit reckless, Iria makes up for it with natural ability and a sharp mind. Her appearance in the OVA was designed by Masakazu Katsura, loosely based on the original designs by the creator of the Zeiram series, Keita Amemiya.
Gln (Gr in the glish versions) is oft se as Iria's older brother and a full-fledged hunter. In episode 5 however, it is hinted by Fujikuro that Gln might not be Iria's brother but is possibly her onii-san (a Japanese term used for both older brothers and close older male figures). He taught Iria much of what she knows about hunting and serves as a mtor for her apprticeship. He wears a blue cloak and hair beads which are similar to Iria as well as an unusual pdant which is later found by Kay. Gln is thought to have died in the explosion of the Karma in the first episode but is later found to have be assimilated by Zeiram.
Iria: Zeiram The Animation Iria And Kei Production Cel Setup (ashi
Bob is an agt of Ghomvak Security & Investigations and brings prime jobs to Gln and Iria (and elemtary jobs to Fujikuro). He oft helps out on these jobs as well and is severely injured by Zeiram on the Karma job. Following his escape from the Karma his personality is transferred to a computer by Puttubayh. In his computer form (resembling a vajra though on Iria's personal com system his form is simpler, resembling two floating cones sandwiching a smaller sphere) he is retrieved by Iria and helps her on her missions.
A jaded veteran hunter who claims to only grudgingly help Iria from time to time because he is promised money from Bob. However, as the show goes on, a softer side of him is shown, and it soon becomes obvious that he guinely cares about her safety; he prevts Kay from going on her own against the Zeiram as well. He also rests that Bob frequtly assigns the good cases to Gln and Iria, while he's left with lesser cases himself.
While he shares the name of a character in the second Zeiram film, their relations to Iria and geral personalities are totally differt. While the animated version is an older and sympathetic character, the movie version is a simple thief who uses Iria to help steal a rare artifact before being imprisoned by Bob.
Iria (zeiram Zone)
An orphan child from the Shadow District (Shadow Zone in the dub) of the resort planet Taowajan. Originally thought to be a boy, she was revealed to be a girl by Fujikuro. She befrids Iria and idolizes her much like Iria idolizes Gln. She helps Iria in her battles against Zeiram. She is something of a tech wizard (she can pilot the space shuttle better than Iria and rigs a portable forcefield device that was crucial in Iria's last fight against Zeiram).
A second Shadow District/Zone orphan and Kei's closest frid. Komimasa dies at the d of episode 4, impaled by the Zeiram/Gln clone as he attempts to get a weapon to Iria as she is in its line of fire.
A scitist, Zeiram expert and the sole surviving member of the original research team. First mtioned by Bob (while confronting Puttubayh) in episode 1, he is not physically se until the second half of the series wh his ship (on its way to Myce with Kay and Komimasa also on board as stowaways)is hijacked.

Zeiram is the ultimate being and virtually indestructible. In addition to being extremely powerful, Zeiram can gerate imperfect clones of itself to assist in battle. Zeiram also needs to assimilate other life forms in order to sustain itself, but in doing so it is thought that Zeiram can learn whatever is known by the organism being assimilated. Zeiram is not a unique creature and other versions of itself are known to exist throughout the universe. Later in the show Zeiram attempts to contact other Zeirams in order to bring them to Myce.
The vice-presidt of Tidan Tippidai Corporation and the person responsible for bringing Zeiram to Myce (and to a latter degree, Taowajan), with plans to use it as a weapon. Plans, foolishly divulged to his mistress in a chip stored inside a locket found by Iria on board the Karma and not shared by the Corporation who go so far as canceling the rescue mission, stating that everyone on board (including Puttubayh and Bob) perished and now putting a bounty on Iria's head for her knowledge to cover-up his plans and the Karma incidt.
Hel McCarthy in 500 Esstial Anime Movies called the anime an excellt piece of scice fiction, praising the character design. She stated that the worlds feel truly futuristic and ali, the action sequces are convincing, the music is great, and a slowly emerging conspiracy plot is the icing on the cake.
