G-on Riders
Rent In a near future time when alien attacks have become a common event, a secret (Japanese) organization called the GRA (GRAND RIFUREKUTO AMUDO, Grand Reflect Armor) has developed a very effective defense. Using a technology developed by Dr Sanada Mio, which she calls the 'G-On', certain young students wearing glasses (hence the "G" in the title) are able to harness their strong feelings and manifest those abilities and weapons that prove effective against the alien attacking units. The GRA has sponsored an elite high school to help identify and develop the students who have this ability in the hopes that they can defend not only Japan, but also the earth from the alien invaders.

IZUMO - Takeki Ken no Senki
Having lost his parents at a young age, Yagi Takeru, lives alone with his kendo sensi, and they are both looked after by two of his fellow classmates from Izumo Academy, Shiratori Kotono and her sister, Asuka. Along with his best friend and greatest kendo rival, Yamato Takeshi, they are enjoying a happy school experience, at least until Takeshi and Takeru begin sharing the same dream of a priestess calling to them. In a strange confrontation in the schoolyard, Takeru and four girls are shrouded in a strange light that covers Takeshi, and then everything goes black. When they wake up, they find themselves separated from one another in a high school cracking and broken with age and covered in trees and vines. An attack by giant hostile insects, then a confrontation with strange floating creatures, with a sudden rescue by a troop of sword-carrying soldiers on horseback is proof that they are now in a very different world.

Samurai Deeper Kyo
Rent It is 1604, four years after the Battle of Sekigahara, perhaps Japan's greatest civil war. The people try to recover from its aftermath and enjoy the newly attained peace. Amid such times Yuya Shiina, a roughneck girl who earns money by capturing outlaws, mistakes a roaming and peace-loving medicine seller Mibu Kyoshiro for the legendary wanted man "Onime-no-Kyo." But she soon realizes that she is wrong when she sees that Kyoshiro is just a weakling. Nevertheless, she ends up capturing Kyoshiro anyway - he is wanted for running off without paying for a meal. As they travel together Kyoshiro tries to help Yuya catch another wanted criminal. In the process Kyoshiro is cornered. Then he mumbles, "Here he comes," and the color of his eyes turn a deep red. He pulls out his sword which he had never touched before and suddenly, Onime-no-Kyo, the legendary assassin said to have killed one thousand men with this sword, is standing there. Kyoshiro and Kyo: Two spirits in one body. Yuya is looking for a "man with a wound on his back" who killed her older brother. The two head to Edo together. One after another, samurai come after Onime-no-Kyo. Why do Kyoshiro and Kyo share the same body? Historical figures, such as Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga, emerge in the story and the mystery of the two souls is gradually resolved.
