INUYASHA: AFFECTIONS TOUCHING ACROSS TIME
Two hundred years ago, Inuyasha's father sealed away a powerful demon from China named Hyoga. Now a Shikon Jewel shard has freed Hyoga's son, Menomaru, who plans to break the seal placed on his father's remains in order to absorb his power. But to do that, he needs Inuyasha's sword. Menomaru sends his minions, Ruri and Hari, to attack Inuyasha's friends. Inuyasha is tricked into breaking his father's seal, and Menomaru becomes the new Hyoga, threatening the entire land. It's up to Inuyasha and his friends to stop this nearly invincible foe.
.HACK//SIGN
.hack//SIGN revolves around characters in a virtual online world that are swept up in the mystery of Tsukasa, a player with unusual abilities who can do things no one else can. Following the adventures of Mimuru, Bear and other characters, the mystery deepens as the players discover connections to the outside and realize there is much more to "The World" than they had realized.
BATTLE B'DAMAN
Battle B'Daman follows the story of one special young boy – Yamato Delgato. Raised by cats until he was five, Yamato now lives with his adoptive mom, Mie. Up until now, Yamato has only dreamt of playing the official sport of the B-DaWorld – B-Daman. But all that is about to change when he is chosen to receive the Cobalt Blade, the most awesome B-Daman ever, and only Yamato has the skills and talent needed to harness its power. It's going to take a lot of practice and training, but with the support of his friends – Terry, Bull and the mysterious Gray – and with his faithful cat Tommi by his side, Yamato is ready to set out on the journey of a lifetime.
