Black Lagoon
Buy Okajima Rokuro is a much abused and bored Japanese Salary-man who is sent by his company to a forsaken corner of South East Asia to hand deliver a disk with secret company files. The cargo ship on which he was traveling on is attacked by pirates riding on a torpedo boat named “Black Lagoon”. The three pirates somehow know all about his mission and decide to take him hostage for ransom as well. Later when Rokuro is surprised to find out that his company will not pay a ransom and he learns that he has been ‘written off as a business expense’, he just snaps and loses it. But the company is not done yet with him as they have hired a group of mercenaries to find the pirates, recover the disk and kill everyone involved in this sordid event.

Meitantei Conan
Rent High School student Shinichi Kudou was a virtual Sherlock Holmes, who the Tokyo police regularly turned to for help in solving baffling cases. But then he accidentally learned too much for his own good about a murder case, and was caught by the villains. They poisoned him and left him for dead, but the "poison" had an unexpected effect--rather than killing him, it caused Shinichi to revert to the appearance of an elementary school boy! He retains his skills as a brilliant detective, however, and since that incident has managed to become adopted by his former girlfriend and her less-than-exemplary private detective father. With them he carries on his passion, and searches for clues to a possible antidote to the poison he was forced to swallow.
