Not worth watching.January 8, 2009 The action is good, the animation is good, and the story is ok.
There are problems: The ending was horrible. The intro was horrible. A lot of the city structure and vehicles are umbrellas or balloons. There are some weapons that are tops like the ones being ejected from the vehicle. There is only one concentration, which is just the monster. There should have been a background of how the monster was even created. Then there seemed to be more than just Zierum as the antagonist such as the government or other organizations. Why wasn't there another way to free her brother? Seemed kind of heartless, just go for the kill, for that revenge without another solution.
AwesomeSeptember 21, 2008 Just got it and it is just as good as the first time I watched it back when Saturday anime played on SciFi!
Loved ItDecember 5, 2007 A classic anime, and one of the very first anime films that drew me into the genre. Read up any of the other 80+ reviews if you want, I myself am surprised that there has been that many reviews.
The animation FYI, is great for 1994, which was when it was originally released. Those who critique this film should remember that.
Also, if you have ever seen the live-action film Zeiram...the creator making this into an anime was the best, most sane idea he ever had!

Iria is a hairbead-wearing rookie bounty hunter on a perilous mission to find her big brother and mentor, Gren, who was last seen battling the dreaded, unstoppable space creature known as Zeiram. Rocketing through space in her yellow creeper--which resembles Luke Skywalker's landspeeder--the armor-plated apprentice hunter in the crimson-colored, artichoke-shaped cloak is determined to find Gren and destroy Zeiram before the Shadow Zone kids, Kei and Komimasa, eat all of her precious space rations. Guided along the way by a mysterious voice on her comm, and with additional, unwanted assistance from her dempadan-piloting rival, Fujikuro, young Iria blasts her way through hoards of skinny red robots in pursuit of the dark villain, Zeiram, as he teleports from one transembler to another, absorbing everyone in his path by devouring them in the fangs of the grotesque, white-faced worm that resides in the center of his big black hat.
'Iria Zeiram The Animation: The Complete Collection' is a 3 DVD set. Disc 1 contains the first three half-hour episodes; disc 2 concludes the story with the last three episodes. Disc 3 is loaded with special features, including, character sketches, concept art, and creator interviews. The picture quality is excellent and there are two audio options: English 2.0, or Japanese 5.1 Surround. The series is rated 13 and up due to some bloody violence and a very brief shower scene, but it certainly doesn't deserve the R rating listed here as it contains no sex and no bad language in the English dub (there is some swearing in the subtitled version).
This is an essential purchase for any anime fan. Iria is a very cool character and the vast, exotic Myce landscape, dotted with towering, mushroom-like structures, creates a uniquely weird and wonderful atmosphere. The soundtrack is also terrific, and the opening animation, with huge snowflakes falling before Iria's big, brown eyes, is unforgettable. Buy this OVA. It's one of the best.
