Kurosaki Ichigo is not your ordinary 15 year old, because he has always had the ability to see and interact with those spirits and ghosts that remained behind and are hidden to ordinary people. And one fateful day, a female Shinigami (soul reaper) named Kuchiki Rukia appears before him as she is hunting for an evil spirit. During the confrontation with the daemon, both Ichigo and Rukia are seriously injured, and Rukia has to transfer her powers to Ichigo to assist him in defeating the evil Hollow. But in doing so, she loses all of her power and she now expects Ichigo to continue in her task of fighting and defeating those fallen spirits whom she calls Hollows, who exist only to devour other innocent souls. |

Over a hundred years have passed since humanity lost the war to a strange race of beasts that they call Monsters. The remaining survivors live in constant terror, fear and denial, as they are forced to offer their children in tribute to appease and feed the needs of their inhuman Monster conquerors. But not all of humanity has surrendered completely. A small group called the warriors of Melos still fight on, inspired only by a vision of a young lady known as the 'Melody of Oblivion', remembering an almost forgotten legend that if she is found and freed, then the monsters can be defeated. |

 Speed Grapher |
Rent | In a world very much polarized between the fantastically wealthy and desperately poor, Tokyo has become a city of pleasure, with hidden and secret fantasy clubs ready to indulge any sinful desire. Saiga, a photojournalist with a history of photographing live-action-deaths on distant battlefields, is now chasing after leads in the multiple assassinations of major political leaders. One day, he is asked to cover a secret society called the “Roppongi Club”, and succeeds in sneaking in undetected. Having reached a deep inner chamber of the club, he comes across an initiation ritual, where a goddess descends from above to give the innate a kiss of acceptance. The goddess, a girl named Kagura, gives him the kiss instead, bestowing on him a special ability, and asks that he help her flee from her circumstances. But the Roppongi Club does not intend to permit their goddess to escape, and their members have abilities of their own. |

Watch |
Kimihiro Watanuki is a man who sees strange things such as spirits and the like. These spirits take on various forms and most are unpleasant to look upon. Wishing to not have to see such spirits, he stumbles upon the house of one Ichihara Yuuko and her two young helpers Maru and Moro. Yuuko-san tells Watanuki that his arrival at her home is hitsuzen, meaning he was destined to come there. Yuuko-san will grant Watanuki's wish, but at a price; he must now work for her where he now does things like cook, clean, and run errands for Yuuko-san, especially making runs to buy her sake and other such beverages. Watanuki complains, but does a good job and dreams of hooking up with the very cute Himawari-chan. |
