Edo was a city that was once the birthplace of the vitality and ambition of samurai across the country. However, after the surrender of feudal Japan to powerful aliens known as "Amanto", those aspirations now seem impossible to realize. With the once-influential shogunate rebuilt into a puppet government, a new law was quickly passed banning all types of swords in public. Enter Gintoki Sakata, an eccentric platinum-haired man who always carries a wooden sword and maintains the status of a samurai despite the ban. As the founder of Yorozuya, a small business that specializes in running odd jobs, Gintoki often embarks on an effort to help others — though often in rather strange and unforeseen ways. 

Assisted by Shinpachi Shimura, a bespectacled boy who is said to be learning the ways of samurai; Kagura, a tomboy girl with superhuman strength and endless gluttony; and Sadaharu, their giant pet dog who likes to bite people in the head, Yorozuya encounters anything from alien royalty to brawls with local gangs in the ever-changing world of Edo.

  Barbaric murders, petty theft and senseless violence have polluted the human world. In contrast, the realm of death is a dull, unchanging casino. Skillful 17-year-old Japanese student Light Yagami and brutal grim reaper Ryuk share a common belief: their world is rotten. 

For his own amusement, Ryuk drops his "Death Note" on the human world. Light stumbles upon it, claiming that its first rule is ridiculous: the person whose name is written in this note will die. However, the temptation is too great, and Light experiments by writing the name of a criminal, which causes his first murder disturbingly. 

Aware of the terrifying divine power that has fallen into his hands, Light—alias "Kira"—follows his wicked sense of justice with the ultimate goal of purifying the world from all evil doers. The meticulously scheming Detective L tracks him down, but because of Light's talent as opposed to L's, the epic chase for Kira turns into an intense mental duel that can only end once one of them is dead.

  Centuries ago, humanity was slaughtered almost extinct by monstrous humanoid creatures known as Titans, forcing humanity to hide in fear behind giant concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is their penchant for cannibalism not due to hunger but to pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began to live in defensive barriers, resulting in a hundred years without a single encounter with giants. However, that fragile calm is soon broken when a giant Titan manages to break through the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against cannibal abominations. 

After witnessing the horrific personal loss at the hands of invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to destroying them by joining the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that fights ruthless humanoids outside the protection of the walls.

What the Joestars didn't realize, however, was that Dario had no intention of helping them; He believes they are dead and is trying to rummage through their belongings. After Dario's death 12 years later, George — hoping to repay his debt — adopted his son, Dio. 

While openly flattering his new father, Dio secretly plans to steal Joestar's fortune. His first step was to create a split between George and Jonathan.

Luffy – the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, and his teammates to find the One Piece treasure.At the moment, it is likely that this anime is leading in the number of followers... throughout Vietnam. 

Gol D. Roger was known as the "Pirate King", the strongest and most notorious man who sailed on the Grand Line. The World Government's arrest and execution of Roger brought about a worldwide change. His last words before his death revealed the existence of the world's greatest treasure, One Piece.

  10-year-old Sakura Kinomoto is an ordinary 4th grader living in Tomoeda until one day, she stumbles upon a mysterious card book titled "The Clow." Contemplating her discovery, she inadvertently creates a magical wind that scatters the cards throughout town. 

The accident awakens the Sealing Beast—Keroberos, nicknamed "Kero"—who tells Sakura that she has unleashed the mystical "Clow Cards" created by the sorcerer Clow Reed. Due to each Card's ability to operate independently and their incredible power, Clow sealed them off. Now that they have been released, the Cards pose a great danger to the world, and Sakura must put an end to them. 

Assigning Sakura as "Cardcaptor" and giving her the Key to the Seal, Kero tasks her with finding and recovering all the Clow Cards. Together with her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji, and with Kero's guidance, Sakura must learn to balance her new secret quest with her daily troubles as she embarks on her magical adventure as Sakura Card Leader.
