The origin story of the 2006 Zegapain television anime series follows Kyo, the only member of his high school swim team. To keep the team going, he recruited Misaki to make promotional videos for the club. She agrees, but only if Ryo pilots a machine under the direction of Celebrum, a resistance organization fighting to destroy the Deutera Sectors formed on Earth by the alien Gards-orm. Bandai Entertainment released the series as six DVD singles in North America between 2007 and 2008, and re-released the series as the Complete Collection DVD in 2009. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime in 2013.
Zegapain ADP (Zegapain Adaptation), a compilation film of the Zegapain television anime with new scenes and characters, premiered in Japan in October 2016. The film commemorates the anime’s 10th anniversary.
