Iczelion (戦-少女 イクセリオン Iczer Gal Iczelion?) is a dark sci-fi anime with a female cast. Iczelion was a 2 episode OVA series that was released back in 1994. The OVA series was created by Toshihiro Hirano, creator of the original Fight! Iczer One and Iczer Reborn series. AIC and KSS were the animation production companies in charge of Iczelion. The series was licensed by North America Company ADV Films.
Unlike its predecessor, Iczelion did not really feature female-female intimacy. Although the series hinted at a possible continuation, none was ever written or created. The story seems to take place in an alternate timeline from Iczer-One and Iczer Reborn because of its placement in modern day and with a seemingly different Nagisa.

[edit] Story
Kai Nagisa, a normal high school girl who wishes to one day become a professional wrestler (despite having a strong cowardly side), is suddenly approached by a robot known as an Iczel. Iczel urges her to help save the Earth from invading aliens called Geas. The Geas, led by Chaos and Cross, are bent on stripping Earth's resources and then destroying it. (Never mind that an inhabited planet isn’t such a good place to find such resources, since the inhabitants tend to use them all up themselves.) To fight the invaders, Nagisa must merge with Iczel and become a battle-suited warrior named "Iczelion". She is understandably reluctant to take up this sudden unbelievable task and fight with the other Iczelions of Earth because Nagisa just wants to live a normal life without having such big responsibilities. Nagisa must overcome her fears and fight, together with other Iczelions, to prevent the invading alien forces from destroying their homeplanet, Earth.

Although at first, she refused, Nagisa had no choice but to merge with Iczel to become an Iczelion. She struggles at first because she does not want to hold the responsibilty of being an Iczelion and saving the world, but later realizes that she must protect those she cares about, giving her the strength to become an Iczelion and fight to save the Earth.

There are other Iczels on Earth that attend to their own Iczelions; Iczel Black, Iczel Gold, and Iczel Silver.

- Shiina Nami
- Voiced by: Yumi Touma (Japanese), Claire Hamilton (English)
- A rock singer and works as a rave dancer in a night-club, she is Iczelion Black. From all the Iczelion, she is the most direct and sure of herself. Her Iczelion signature attacks are gravity based and she is also the most skilled with both her beam sword and in hand to hand combat.

- An idol singer, she is Iczelion Gold. She is very energetic and agile. She tends to mock her opponents in battle but she shows that she is a capable fighter. She is probably the most girlish and enthusiastic of the Iczelion, which doesn't mean that her fighting skills aren't at all weak. She displays one of the broadest range of attacks based on wind and earth. Her wind attacks are deployed by means of the weapon modules mounted on her hips.

Kawai is the first to try and persuade Nagisa to fight alongside the other Iczelions and protect the Earth. Kawai is a very gentle person and she is the one who explains why the Iczel were created. While others Iczelion may have their own reasons for fighting, Kawai firmly believes that there is nothing more important than defending their home, Earth. Her signature weapons are her Beam Boomerangs. She can also enter Burst Teleport Mode for rapid short distance evasion.
Weapon: Barrier, Singel Huge Fore-arm Beam Cutter, Duel Beam Boomerangs.
