Zillion English Sub & Dub

About Zillion

Zillion (赤い光弾ジリオン) blends adventure and sci-fi by Tatsunoko Production and Production I.G (1987). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: The story takes place on the planet Maris in the year 2387. Around this time, the Nozas started to genocidally kill all humans in order to lay eggs and reproduce on the planet.

More of the story: Three unexplained guns dubbed the "Zillion Weapon System" appear and three teens (JJ, Champ, and Apple) are chosen to wield them as the White Knights in order to fight back against the Nozas.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Baron Riks (Shou Hayami) and JJ (Toshihiko Seki) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 31 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Tatsunoko Production and Production I.G is the studio behind Zillion, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Shou Hayami as Baron Riks, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1987, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
