Zeriram (Iria: Zeiram the Animation)

Note: The clip is from the first movie, a bit of a cool introduction than the series.

A 1994 6-episode science fiction OVA created by Keita Amemiya & Naruhisa Arakawa and produced by Ashii Productions, with character designs by Masakazu Katsura. The OVA is about a female bounty hunter Iria, and her "first encounter" with the "unstoppable" Zeiram. The OVA series serves as a prequel to the original live-action film Zeiram, in which she never encountered Zeiram before.

Zeiram is the ultimate being, virtually indestructible. In addition to being exceedingly powerful, Zeiram can create imperfect clones of itself to aid in combat. Zeiram must also assimilate other living forms to survive, and by doing so, Zeiram can learn anything the creature being assimilated knows.

4/28: Strange, never published the Pony version. Here you go. Still prefer the Illu version.
