Casshern : The Last Day on Earth
Buy Fifty years of war between the Great Eastern Federation and Europa - now merged as Eurasia - have taken their toll on planet Earth. As a result of the use of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, much of Earth has become uninhabitable and people have become prey to new diseases. Professor Azuma's "neo-cell" project, which is supposed to be the answer to mankinds hardships, becomes a nightmare come true when mutants spawned from the experiment escape and declare war on the human race. Azuma's son Tetsuya, who was killed during the previous war, is reborn into the cyborg Casshern as mankind's last hope against the new mutant threat. (Source: ANN)

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha
Buy Takamachi Nanoha is a 3rd grader elementary school girl, who lives with her parents and her older sister and brother (last seen in Triangle Heart). One day after school, she hears a voice in mind, which leads her to rescue a small animal (a ferret?) in the forest. The animal is actually an archeologist-mage from another world, named Yuuno-kun, who is attempting to recover 21 dangerous Jewels Seeds that are scattered across the Earth. Yuuno had been fighting a loosing and desperate battle with a magic beast that emerged from an activated Jewel Seed, and he asks for Nanoha's help (and magic) in assisting him to defeat the beast and in recovering the other Seeds. So, with Yuuno-kun's help, and by activating the magic in the jewel's raging heart, Naoha can transform into a magic girl, complete with a magic-power-staff, to save her city from the dangers of the Jewel Seeds.

Mai-HiME
Buy Tokiha Mai and her frail younger brother Takumi receive a scholarship on the prestigious Fuuka Gakuen. On the ferry to the school, they find a girl floating in the water, holding a huge black sword. After rescuing her, the boat is attacked by another girl with a dog/artillery mecha thing. She warns Mai not to go to the school and to hand over the girl they found. After a big fight (sinking the ferry) Mai, the girl and her sword suddenly appear at Fuuka academy. It might have something to do with the red birth mark both girls seem to have. Is Mai a HiME? (HiME stands for "Highly-advanced Materializing Equipment")
