Iria: Zeiram the Animation

Iria: Zeiram the Animation(イ・リ・ア ゼイラム ジ アニメーション,I.RI.A Zeiramu Ji Animēshon) 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 when the female bounty hunter protagonist Iria is still a rookie and detailing the events surrounding her first encounter with the unstoppable Zeiram. This does somewhat contradict the films, which imply that Iria's first encounter with Zeiram was in the first film.
