Originally released by Enterbrain in Japan in three episodes, Galerians: Rion was later combined into a single feature, licensed for the North America by Image Entertainment, and broadcast on MTV2 on 3 July 2004. Galerians: Rion is set in the 26th century, and the human residents of Earth are under attack from a supercomputer called Dorothy.
