Virtua Fighter

Based on Sega's hit video game, the anime centers on Akira Yuki, a martial artist traveling the world to perfect his skills and understand the true meaning of strength. Along the way, he encounters other fighters-each with their own style and philosophy-and becomes entangled in a shadowy organization seeking to exploit martial arts for power. Through intense battles, rivalries, and moments of reflection, Akira learns that true strength lies not only in physical ability but in discipline, spirit, and compassion.

Zenki

Chiaki Enno is just your average high school student, who spends her spare time studying to be a Shinto exorcist. One day, however, the forces of evil are unleashed in her backyard. Quite accidentally, she summons Zenki, the most powerful of demon lords. Zenki trashes the evil forces with aplomb... and then tries to attack Chiaki! Unfortunately, he's her "shikigami"-- spirit familiar- and therefore unable to attack her. So, he reverts to his normal form: a loudmouthed, obnoxious, bratty little kid...

Genshiken

2 Seasons
The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture is not like ordinary student organizations found on a college campus. Rather than focus on a specific activity or hobby, the club encompasses tastes in anime, manga, video games, cosplay, and model building, and generally performs no organized activities outside of of gathering in their office to play video games or discuss the latest episode of the series Kujibiki Unbalance. Their membership includes a shy, stuttering sketch artist that lacks the drive to take his work further, an overzealous, motor-mouthed maniac that argues for the passion in all things otaku, and the club's creepily quiet founding president that has been in charge since 1987. What keeps a group with members as eccentric as these together? A shared love for anime, manga, and all forms of visual culture that they inspire.
