Brawny bullies, Souichiro and Bob, have taken over 99 schools. They've got designs on making the Tobu School their 100th conquest. Little do they know they're in for their toughest fight yet. The Toby School is an offshoot of the Tobu Academy, which has long been dedicated to preserving martial arts tradition. In other words, even the "weak" kids can stick up for themselves pretty well. On their first day, Souichiro and Bob pound a couple students, then get a taste of their own medicine when they encounter Maya and Masataka. Alliances and rivalries form and fold quickly in the first four episodes of this fight-filled anime series that tosses in humor and a little romance to boot.
Based on the comic from renowned animator, Todd McFarlane, Spawn is the tale of a highly decorated U.S. soldier, Al Simmons (voiced by Michael Jai White), who is double-crossed and brutally executed by his boss, Jason Wynn (Martin Sheen). In the underworld, Simmons strikes a deal with the devil's minion, The Clown (John Leguizamo), enabling him to again walk the Earth so he can see his wife, Wanda (Theresa Randle). In exchange, The Clown orders him to kill Wynn. When Simmons returns to Earth as Spawn, he finds the devil has also double-crossed him. He's horribly disfigured and Wanda is now married to his best friend. Broken, Spawn begins stalking New York's alleyways. He soon finds himself forced to choose sides in a war between Heaven and Hell.
Vash the Stampede is an outlaw notorious enough to have a $$60 billion price on his head. (That's not misprint. In the Trigun world, value is measured in double dollars.) Whole towns have been known to clear out at the mere possibility of his presence. Despite the myth's surrounding his exploits, Vash is much more hero than villain. In fact, he's never killed anyone, despite going on legendary destructive sprees. In this collection containing the first four episodes from the Trigun anime series, Vash has gun and will travel through the desert environment of the planet Gunsmoke. Ultra-hip and dripping with cool, Trigun has a slapstick sensibility that rides sidecar with the Old West style showdowns, driven by the occasional goofball behavior of its lead gunslinger.
In 1945, with the world about to annihilate itself, one man - one hero - was able to stop the forces of evil bent on controlling the free world. A nuclear missile was fired. That missile's destination: Washington DC. The hero who stopped it: Captain America, who detonated the WMD in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, saving the world from the ultimate destruction.

Now, with the world in peril again, the Captain must make a heroic return from the icy depths. He assembles a team of Ultimate Avengers, including Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, and others in this animated Marvel saga.
