Title Rating Synopsis
A

Alien Nine
Rent For the new year in elementary school #9 the responsibilities are assigned, like class representatives, homeroom duties, feeding the class animals - and membership in the anti alien squad who put an alien symbiont on their head like a hat and then catch those aliens that are occasionally landing on earth before they can do any damage. Energetic Toomine Kasumi and serious Kawamura Kumi volunteered for this task while timid Ootani Yuri was elected for this squad by her class, much against her will. And facing these monsters, defending her classmates and even feeding the symbiont with her body (who gives her protection in return) takes a heavy toll on this girl.

Gunparade Orchestra
Watch Ishida Saryou is assigned to be the new commander of the 4th division in Aomori. This squad is the laziest of the whole army because they are assigned into a remote mountain town far away from civilization and never attacked by the Ginju. Displacing a popular and older Lieutenant Ishida finds herself with a bunch of pampered spoiled crew who hates her. They cause many obstructions such as disobeying orders, sending in falsified reports, and blaming Ishida for all of their problems that result from it.

Uchuu no Stellvia
Rent In the year 2176 A.D., the solar system was subjected to a cosmically intense radiation and electromagnetic wave which caused vast disasters on Earth. The phenomenon was caused by a star twenty lightyears away from the solar system which went supernova. This was only the beginning... It has been determined that high-energy plasma from the exploded star pieces would reach the solar system within 189 years at the 0.1 speed of light. It is the year 2356 A.D. The human race has built enormous space bases called the "foundations" in the orbits of Earth, Mars, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. The one for Earth is called "Stellvia." The show depicts the adventures of young cadets who enter the space pilot training school there with one common goal... To defend the solar system and planet Earth against the cosmic disaster and subsequent shock wave.

Yuusha Keisatsu J-Decker
After stumbling upon a secret laboratory, Yuuta Tomonaga made a habit of sneaking inside after hours to spend time with his new friend: Deckerd, a giant mecha being developed for the Japanese Police. Over the past six months, Yuuta has taught Deckerd concepts which he was never meant to understand; things like joy, anger, sadness, and having a "heart". But now Deckerd is ready for Police service and his reprogramming will in all likelihood obliterate this knowledge...
