The main young hero of the story learns about himself and his super powers in a world where some beings are a threat to humanity.  So the hero fights for justice, to protect those he love and those who need protection. 

Noragami

Noragami

Yato, the supposed God of Calamity, is so far down on the Shinto totem pole that he doesn't even have any followers or a shrine to call his own and has to do odd jobs to make ends meet. Worst of all, his aloof and somewhat goofy personality has just cost him his newest partner and best holy weapon. When the down-on-his-luck Yato is saved by an unfortunate soul called Hiyori, he's forced to take on a brand new job - to turn her back into a human and fix her supernatural out-of-body experiences! Can Yato, a Regalia-less, miserly minor god, even attempt such a tall order? And is there more to him than his ridiculousness lets on?

Interesting story.  Both MC's want to be noticed a lot and get angry when people think bad of them ( as if they're small or that their deeds aren't good) Lots of humor and some nice fights. 

Sword of the Stranger

Sword of the Stranger

Kotarou is a brash young orphan in war-torn Japan, on the run from mysterious pursuers with Tobimaru, his faithful canine companion. Clueless as to why anyone would want him, much less imperial warriors from mainland China, a chance encounter with a strange wandering swordsman could not be more unwelcome in Kotarou's skeptical eyes – especially when the stranger has a secret past that has caused him to seal his blade. Forced by circumstance to work together for survival, the unlikely duo forge a tenuous friendship that is threatened all too soon when Kotarou's pursuers thrust the two into a dizzying whorl of clashing ambitions between men both big and small. Will the stranger manage to overcome his past and save them both from peril with his blade?

Hot headed protagonist, both are blond and an orphan.

Just for laughs, if you want to hear the english dub's voice of Edward Elric in another anime, check out the pokemon anime movie Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice! the movie itself is about average, but hearing the voice of Ed Elric as a pokemon is worth the watch!

When the low-ranking Wild Tiger loses his backing after a string of outrageous, botched rescues, he finds himself paired with an up-and-coming spotlight-seeker called Barnaby. But with their wildly different personalities, will the pair be able to save their beloved Sternbuild City and win the game show, or will their constant tension be the undoing of the world's first hero team?

Both MC's lost their parents and have a sibling they love a lot. World is in chaos, but MC's try to bring everyone together and make things work. And of course big bad guy trying to take over the world. Lots of action, fighting and good soundtracks.
