Video Warrior Laserion (ビデオ戦士レザリオン Bideo Senshi Rezarion) is a Japanese anime series aired in 1984 to 1985. It was the first Japanese anime series to feature the idea of virtual reality. It is also referred to as Rezarion, Laserion, Video Senshi Laserion. It was broadcast in Latin America as El Super Laser.

Plot

The story is centered around Takashi Katori and his best friend, Olivia Lawrence. Takashi, who began as a mere online game fan, developed a small virtual world with his friend David from New York, in which they played their robot combat game. They would play by sending data to each other using satellite technology. One day while they were playing, a scientific experiment using the same satellite was being conducted involving teleporting an American plane from New York to Japan . In a freak accident caused by an explosion during a rebellion by people of the moon who attacked Earth, the plane that was converted into digital information was sent to the virtual world while Takashi's robot information was rematerialized into a real robot.

Takashi was arrested, but later the Earth Government discovered that Dr. Godheim, an evil, broken-hearted genius scientist from the Moon (now a sort of abandoned colony with restricted access) was behind the revolt. The government forces Takashi to pilot the virtual robot Laserion and protect the Earth alongside robot pilots Sarah & Charles and their G1 & G2 robots. In the end, the whereabouts of Takashi's love, Olivia, becomes a matter of concern.
