Kaiji
Buy Itou Kaiji is a bum who steals car emblems and slashes tires on what seems to be a regular basis. This routine changes one day when he is paid a visit by a man in a trench-coat. Once the two get talking, it seems that the visitor (Calling himself Endou) is a debt collector. The reason for his visit is an unpaid loan which kaiji had previously co-signed for a work-mate (Furuhata Takeshi). The original loan was 30000 yen (or $300) and once Takeshi had disappeared, the loan then fell on Kaiji.

Kurozuka
Watch A story of obsessive love and constant pursuit told over a 1000 year period. Escaping from a brother who had just ascended the throne, Yoshitsune, along with his servant, comes across a house in the middle of a desolate mountain. Oddly enough, only a young woman lives there, who seems to possess a very dark and ominous past.

Ultraviolet Code 044
Early plot summaries describe the show as an ongoing war between a race of vampires and a genetically engineered heroine named 044, not unlike the one played by Milla Jovovich in the film. Dezaki is joined on the Ultraviolet anime by character designer and animation director Akio Sugino, who's collaborated with him on everything from the pulpy, violent Golgo 13 anime to shojo classics like Rose of Versailles and the 1973 sports anime Aim for the Ace. Ultraviolet: Code 044 looks to be Dezaki's first work with an American property since his storyboard duties on Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates (wiki) in 1990.
