Tadashi is a high school student and computer-game addict. After a long day spent playing the game Zenon, he is visited in a dream by the heroine, Sartova. In an anime replay of The Last Starfighter, she takes him to the world of Zenon, where the game is played with human lives at stake.
The show starts with our hero Hiroshi easily defeating an arcade machine, impressing all of his nerdy friends. When he gets home, he finds a bizarre new game waiting for him on his computer. The game promises him a chance at winning the heart of a beautiful girl, so Hiroshi presses "Yes" to begin...only to have the screen turn to static right in front of him.
Skip to the next day. Hiroshi starts telling his friends about this game, and they aren't sure what to believe. But right then, in the middle of the class, a huge electrical storm hits, leaving in its wake a lone white egg. When Hiroshi touches it, the egg opens, revealing a beautiful (and stark naked) green-haired girl.
This girl, Hiroko, gives Hiroshi the name Zenon and gives him all sorts of powers, including ESP. That's all well and good, but right afterwards all the way to the very end, Hiroshi/Zenon winds up battling all sorts of evil bad guys and huge meanies non-stop to protect his new sweetheart.

Where it came from
Exper Zenon is a 1991 science fiction original video animation produced by Studio Fantasia during the height of the bubble-era OVA boom in Japan. The project reflects the period's fascination with high-concept mecha and character-driven space opera, utilizing the freedom offered by the direct-to-video market to experiment with ambitious animation layouts and aesthetic styles that were distinct from the more restrictive television broadcasts of the time.
The visual design and production sought to capture the gritty, tech-heavy sensibilities popular in early nineties anime. Directed by Takafumi Hoshikawa, the work was developed to appeal to a growing demographic of enthusiasts who valued intricate mechanical design and serialized storytelling. While it remains a relatively obscure title in the broader context of Studio Fantasia's later output, it stands as a clear example of the independent production ethos that defined the early OVA industry.
