■ Product Introduction

[A grand story set in a future world]

"Video Warrior Laserion" is a science fiction robot anime produced by Toei Animation and broadcast on Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) from March 4, 1984 to February 3, 1985.
The 45-episode series was directed by Morishita Kozo and is still loved by many fans as a hidden masterpiece born during the golden age of mecha anime.

The story is set in a future Earth ruled by a unified government.
The main character, Takashi Katori, is a junior high school student who is obsessed with online games with his best friend, Olivia Lawrence, an American.
In the robot fighting game they enjoy, the "Laserion" controlled by Takashi boasts invincible strength.
One day, due to an accident during a scientific experiment, the Rezarion from the game suddenly materializes in the real world.
Furthermore, criminals who had been exiled to a base on the moon launch an armed rebellion against Earth, and Takashi ends up fighting as a pilot of the actual Laserion to protect the Earth.

[A story of bonds and adventure]

The story eventually develops into the arrival of alien visitors, Elephant, and a decisive battle with the evil Jack Empire.
This work, which combines science fiction, action, and youth drama centered around the bond between Takashi and Olivia, can be said to be a masterpiece that condenses the appeal of robot anime from the 1980s.
