The story is set in a distant future where Japan is divided into feudal territories and conquered by other countries. There is a floating city named Musashi that is composed of eight ships in the skies. A war that will determine the fate of the world will be fought by students on the Musashi.

In the far future, humans abandon the devastated Earth and move to the upper world "Tenjou." But Tenjou and the law of causation collapse due to a war and humans are forced to return to the Earth, which has turned into an inhabitable planet except for Shinshuu area in the Far East. Shinshuu is too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicate the area and create "Juusou Sekai" in a parallel world. In order to rebuild Tenjou and the law of causation, the returned humans start reproduction of the history from B.C. 10,000. When the reproduction proceeds to A.D. 1413, a war breaks out in Shinshuu and Juusou Sekai falls onto the original world. The humans living in Juusou Sekai lose their land and invade the original world. People in Shinshuu surrender and the land is divided by the invaders from Juusou Sekai. They try to resume the history reproduction from A.D.1457, but the update of the history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread the world.

Ha, Il-Kwon

Class 3-2 of Sungdong High School was just like any other class: a mismatched group of individuals preoccupied with their crushes, upcoming university exams, and other ordinary day-to-day worries. Yet, when strange purple orbs rain down from the sky one day, the students find their lives changing beyond the limits of imagination.

Capable of sporadic and sudden destruction, these spheres quickly send the world into a panic. With the South Korean military forces stretched thin, the government hastily enlists those in secondary education and above into the army. Now drafted into military training, Class 3-2 must abruptly set down their pens and pick up rifles instead.

Promised that they will encounter little danger—and that bonus university points await them post-service—the reluctant students are coaxed into accepting their new duty. Marching onward with an apathetic and easygoing attitude, the class begins their military service, unaware of the grim reality that will soon erode their innocent, carefree spirits.

Now that his kind is no longer needed, Gintoki Sakata performs various odd jobs around town in order to make ends meet. Joined by his self-proclaimed disciple Shinpachi Shimura, the fearsome alien Kagura, and a giant dog named Sadaharu, they run the business known as Yorozuya, often getting caught up in all sorts of crazy and hilarious shenanigans.

As Christmas Eve approaches Academy City, an array of decorative festivities adorn the streets. While the rest of the city is getting into the merry mood, it seems gloom is all that Touma Kamijou experiences. After suffering from one misfortune after another, he encounters Mikoto Misaka escaping from the watchful eyes of Tokiwadai Middle School in an attempt to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. The two agree on making the most out of this dreadful holiday; however, unbeknownst to them, a mysterious third party observes their every move.

Elsewhere, the newly instated Academy City Board Chairman initiates his first operation—a plan that will turn the entire city's framework upside down. Naturally, as he seeks to leave every stone unturned, previously hidden enemies begin to reveal themselves along with their malicious intents...

創約 とある魔術の禁書目録〈インデックス〉

Nightow, Yasuhiro

Much of the damage attributed to "Vash" is caused by the activities of bounty hunters who are after the 60,000,000,000$$ (sixty billion "double dollars") reward on Vash's head for the destruction of a city called July. Vash does not clearly remember the destruction of July, and only wants "love and peace", as he puts it; though he is a gunfighter of inhuman skill, he uses his weapons only to save lives wherever he can.

As the series progresses, more is gradually learned about Vash's mysterious history and the history of the human civilization on Gunsmoke, the desert planet the series is set on. The series is often humorous in tone, but at the same time it involves very serious character development and especially in later episodes it becomes quite emotionally intense. Vash is occasionally joined by a priest, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who is almost as good a gunfighter as Vash himself, and later is targeted by a band of assassins known as the Gung-Ho Guns for reasons which are mysterious at first.

Trigun evolves into a very serious discussion of the nature of morality, posing questions such as: What is the nature of morality? Can we judge different moral codes? If a person is forced to betray their moral code, does that betrayal invalidate that moral code, and can the person still try to live up to that moral code? Can the person find redemption from their wrongs, and if so, how?
