Synopsis

In the year 2387, human colonists on the paradise planet Maris are suddenly subjected to planetary invasion by the relentless, cybernetic Noza Empire, who seek to colonize the world to avoid their own species' extinction. Standard military weapons prove completely useless against Noza armor until planetary scientists discover the Zillion Weapon System: three handheld rayguns that harness mysterious, indestructible light energy. The military selects three rebellious teenage specialists: JJ, Champ, and Apple, to form the White Nuts task force. Piloting transforming motorcycles and utilizing the Zillion guns, the trio battles Noza legions, uncovering cosmic secrets behind their sacred light blasters.

Background (may contain spoilers)

Co-produced by Tatsunoko Production and Sega, *Zillion* aired in 1987 across thirty-one episodes on Nippon Television. Directed by Mizuho Nishikubo, the series was created in close coordination with Sega to promote their Master System Light Phaser gun peripheral. The anime holds significant historical importance as the birthplace of legendary studio Production I.G, whose founders worked on the show as a specialized unit within Tatsunoko. Celebrated for its kinetic 1980s sci-fi aesthetics and memorable pop soundtrack, the show became an international cult classic.

“The retro release of this '80s sci fi action series stands out for its throwback box art that looks like it belongs in the back room of a shuttered video store. Theron Martin finds out if there's anything special under Zillion's charming cover.”
