赤い光弾ジリオン
[b]Akai Koudan Zillion[/b] (赤い光弾ジリオン, lit. [i][b]Red Photon Zillion[/b][/i] in Japan), known elsewhere simply as [b][i]Zillion[/i][/b], is a [[1987]] [[science fiction]] anime series that originally ran from April 12, 1987 to December 13, 1987 on [[nippon_tv|Nippon Television]] and was produced by [[Tatsunoko Pro]]ductions, with promotional material published by [[Movic]]. 

After the production of the anime, Tatsunoko Production and Ishikawa Mitsuhisa, the producer of Zillion, established IG Tatsunoko (which later became [[Production I.G]]) to obstruct the dispersing of the excellent staffs of Tatsunoko branch which had done actual production. Therefore, Zillion is considered to be Production I.G's first work.

The anime was adapted into a [[Sega Master System]] [[video game]] called [i][b]Zillion[/b][/i]. This is an original space adventure platform video game developed by [[SEGA]] and designed for the Master System as a companion tie-in for Tatsunoko Production's Zillion anime series in 1987.

The Zillion series prominently features Sega's egg-shaped mascot, [[Opa-Opa]], who stars in the [[Fantasy Zone]] games, which are also available for the Master System. The main [[energy gun]] weapon of the anime is based on the design for the [[SEGA Light Phaser]] attachment for the [[game console]].

A sequel to the game, [i][b]Zillion II[/b][/i] was released in 1988.
