Area 88 (OVA)
Buy Area 88 is a secret airbase in the fictional Middle East kingdom of Asram, which is torn by civil war. It houses a unique unit, a squadron of mercenary jet pilots, which is routinely assigned the most dangerous missions. Among the best of these pilots is Shin Kazama, who wound up at Area 88 as a result of being betrayed by a friend. This fellow got Shin drunk, tricked him into enlisting as a mercenary pilot, then skedaddled back to Tokyo to seduce Shin's girlfriend. Shin now has few options open to him: get killed in action, serve out his three year enlistment, or perhaps earn $1.5 million through destroying enemy equipment to buy out his "contract" and end his tour of duty early. He attempts this course, but is tormented by thoughts of the countless men he must kill in order to succeed. There is one last option--he could attempt to desert...

Crying Freeman
Buy The talented artist Yo Hinomura is brainwashed into becoming an assassin in the employ of the sinister crime syndicate known as “The 108 Dragons.” Yet his conversion into a heartless killer is incomplete: he manages to retain some small link to his humanity, epitomized by the silent tears he sheds for his victims. Filled with bold images of uncompromising violence, lively sensuality and pulse-pounding action, Crying Freeman remains the quintessential example of mature storytelling told through stylish animation.

Devadasy
Rent In 2012 Earth has been invaded. For the last year an alien race has landed pods (as big as cities) and is slowly taking over the land. They exert nanomachines which turn nearby people into giant blobs of energy (read: food). In Tibet they discover an early alien called Devadasy and it allows humans to pilot it. Devadasy requires both a male and a female to power it because it also needs energy to function.....Sexual energy.

Devilman Lady
Fudo Jun is a beautiful supermodel who is idolized by many. She also has a dark secret that not even she knows about at first, for within her veins run the genes that hold the next step in the evolution of mankind. The same blood as the beastlike superhumans that terrorize the city. Unlike the rest of them, though, Jun has managed to hold a tenuous grip onto her humanity, and she is recruited by the mysterious Asuka Ran, member of a secret organization within the government, aimed at controlling, if not eliminating, these berserk destroyers of mankind. Jun, as Devilman Lady, must now exterminate her own kind, but how much longer can she keep her sanity in a situation she never chose in the first place?
