Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin is an anime produced by TV Asahi and Toei Animation, directed by Tomoharu Katsumata, with scripts by Mitsuru Majima and Kenji Terada, character designs by Jōji Yanase, and music composed by Gorō Oumi. The anime adaptation concludes with the Akakabuto arc, leaving out the Hakkenshi arc. Additionally, the latter half of the story was simplified, with several dogs being silent and their appearances reduced compared to the original manga.

The story follows Gin, a young Akita Inu puppy (whose name means 'silver' in Japanese), who leaves his owner, a boy named Daisuke, to join a pack of wild dogs. The pack is gathering strong dogs from all over Japan to fight a crazed bear named Akakabuto (meaning 'red helmet') and his followers. The story starts from the human perspective but later shifts to focus on the dogs. It is believed that Takahashi drew inspiration from an article about hunting dogs abandoned by their owners, who then began living like wild animals.

Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin is currently highly rated on IMDb with a score of 8.9/10.

Set over a thousand years ago, the story depicts Viking warriors ravaging Northern Europe, expanding their territories through conquest and pillaging. These warriors, armed only with sharp swords, embrace the glory of battle and hold death in high regard as a noble honor that leads them to Valhalla, to fight alongside gods in the final battle of Ragnarok. For them, right and wrong are irrelevant; their sole focus is fighting and dying with weapons in hand.

But is life truly nothing more than a dark and tragic tapestry? In the dreams of slaves nearing death, a boy who once had a home, and a sailor seeking adventure on stormy seas, a distant land calls. This land is Vinland—a warm, fertile place full of vast plains, towering trees, and the scent of life—not the stench of blood or cold metal. A place of freedom and hope.

Attack on Titan is an anime adaptation of the manga written by Hajime Isayama. Set in a world where humanity is forced to live behind enormous walls to protect themselves from the terrifying Titans—giant humanoid creatures that devour humans. The protagonist, Eren Yeager, vows to eliminate all Titans after witnessing them breach the walls, destroy his hometown, and eat his mother.

The story follows Eren Yeager, a teenager from Shiganshina District located within Wall Maria. In 845, the wall is breached by two new types of Titans: the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan. In this disaster, Eren's mother is devoured by a Titan, but Eren survives. From that moment, he swears to destroy all Titans and enlists in the military alongside his childhood friends, Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert.

In their first battle, Eren discovers he has the mysterious ability to transform into a sentient Titan, which catches the attention of the Scout Regiment. They aim to use Eren’s Titan power to retake Wall Maria. As the war intensifies, Eren and his comrades fight to protect their homeland while uncovering the secrets of the Titans, their own civilization, and the truth about the world beyond the walls.

Eventually, Eren and his team uncover a shocking revelation: they are not the last remaining humans. They are descendants of the Eldian race, exiled behind the walls due to their past transgressions against another race, the Marley people. They also learn that the world they thought was the entire Earth is, in fact, just a small isolated island called Paradis. Led by Eren, the Eldians begin a rebellion against the Marley empire, intending to destroy Paradis. Eren initiates the Rumbling, an event that unleashes millions of Colossal Titans from within the walls, aiming to crush the outside world and establish a lasting peace for Paradis.

With help from those with Titan powers from Marley, the Scout Regiment stops the Rumbling, but the disaster wipes out 80% of humanity. Mikasa ultimately kills Eren, permanently eradicating the Titan powers worldwide. Three years later, tensions rise between Paradis and the remaining nations, but Armin believes that peace negotiations led by Queen Historia will succeed. Generations later, Paradis is bombed and destroyed by other nations. A young boy discovers a giant tree, similar to the one that originated the Titan powers, which saved the slave Ymir thousands of years ago.
