Bleach: Ichigo Kurosaki, a 15 year old, orange haired high school student, is the schools' tough guy. Always getting into fights, and always winning them. However, there is something different about ichigo. He has the ability to see ghosts! These days he has gone around defending not only the weak-spirited living, but also the defenseless dead. All this changes when Hollows (ghosts who went evil) begin destroying the town, prompting Kuchiki Rukia, one of an entire city of grim reaper-esque people called Shinigami, to hunt them down. When critically injured on the job, she lends her power to Ichigo, making him a stand-in shikigami to do her work for her.

Naruto: Alright, the anime that most of you should know about. A legendary Fox demon that ravaged the country has finally been sealed. Unfortunately, the vessel that they chose to conceal the demon was Uzumaki Naruto. Because of his "condition" he has been often despised by the adults of the time, fearing his latent power. In turn, they taught their children not to trust naruto, effectively traumatizing his psyche. Now 12, he has been training to become the head ninja of his village, though his ego sometimes prevents him from doing so.

Ruroni Kenshin: Also a well-known anime on places such as Cartoon Network, Ruroni Kenshin is about a samurai named Kenshin who has decided to live a life of peace, though old habits have come back to haunt him. He dons a reverse blade sword, which is much like a katana, except the dull edge is the used side of the sword. Thus, killing anyone with it is much harder. The OVA's, called Samurai X, dive into the past behind Kenshins life, and into his future, past the show.
