Berserk:
In the castle of Midland, a new king has come to power through treachery and violence. His demonic agents terrorize the citizens relentlessly, until the night when a battle weary soldier known as the Black Swordsman come to destroy them. However, his true motives and unrelenting grudge against the king are buried in the past - when a young mercenary named Guts joined the charismatic, graceful, and deadly Griffith and the Band of the Hawk.
The wheels of fate were set in motion, and between the strength of Guts' anger and Griffith's ambition, the face of their country will never be the same again
Samurai Champloo:
Death, betrayal, and... hip hop!
Mugen's a buck wild warrior: violent, thoughtless and womanizing. Jin is a vagrant ronin: mysterious, traditional, well-mannered and very strong. These two fiercely independent warriors couldn't be more different from one another, yet their paths cross when Fuu, a ditzy waitress, saves them from being executed when they are arrested after a violent swordfight. Fuu convinces the two vagrant young men to help her find a mysterious samurai "who smells of sunflowers." And their journey begins.
