A monster hunter goes after a beast that could be her brother. Iria is a newly-certified monster hunter who saves the life of a scientist working on the "Zeiram Project." Zeiram has been terrorizing local planets and kidnapping people to absorb their life force and clone them. When Iria meets up with a clone of her brother, her resolve is tested. Could her brother still be alive? Her friends help her track down the beast only to discover that it is calling for reinforcements. Iria must enter into a final showdown with Zeiram to save the planet and discover the truth about her missing brother. A prequel to begin a great movie franchise, Iria: Zeiram the Animation is definitely a well done anime.<br/><br/>It starts out with our heroine Iria, trying to stay in touch with her brother, only to have things go awry. When landing on a Spaceship called Karma, people are fleeing from a bio-mechanical robot monster called Zeiram. Her brother falls victim to the monster, sets slums on fire and devours people and gives birth to strange mutations, and he must be stopped at all costs.<br/><br/>Though it might not completely beat the live-action movies, it is great and entertaining, and is definitely not a typical repetitive anime that we all get sick and tired of.<br/><br/>BTW, Iria and Kei are cuuuuuuuute! Iria is beautiful. Iria is young. And Iria can kick more butt than Xena on her best day. The animation is terrific, and Zeiram is a terrific monster. Okay, the plot. Iria's brother dies on a mission that involves the invincible monster Zeiram. She vows revenge on it, using every weapon she has and every plan she can possibly conceive. For those of you who are tired of Ellen Ripley being the only real tough Science Fiction heroine, I recommend Iria.
