Yu Yu Hakusho

Yu Yu Hakusho

Yuusuke is a street-fighting, class-skipping juvenile delinquent. Killed in an unexpected act of kindness, he thwarts the spirit-world bureaucracy and ends up with a second chance at life... as infant prince of death Koenma's Spirit Detective! Simultaneously cheered on and kept in line by Keiko Yukimura, his childhood friend, he is joined by a spiritually aware human, two demons on parole, and guided by a much too lively ferry girl of the dead. Together they plow through demons, tournaments, hijinks, intense "martial arts" training, cross-dressers, dungeons, conspiracies and bad puns alike. At the end of the day, what's it all for? Kicking butt and saving the world, of course!

The feel of Yu Yu Hakaso and 3x3 Eyes are very similar in style with a great deal of fighting and manipulation of the characters overall attitude towards how they lead their lives.  The heroes have to struggle with the dilemma of what they are fighting for and develop some supernatural powers along the way.

Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied

In the near future, some girls are born mutated. Known as Diclonius, this new species is believed to have been chosen by God to wipe out mankind. Unlike regular humans, Diclonius have two horns on their head and ‘vectors' - invisible ‘hands.' Contained within a research facility unknown to the world, the Diclonius are experimented upon mercilessly; many die or develop a hate for mankind. One such creature, Lucy, is said to be the first of the Diclonius. She escapes from the facility, but while fleeing she takes a bullet to the head and is seemingly killed. However, it seems Lucy isn't quite dead yet; she's instead developed an alternate personality called Nyuu. She's washed up on a shore where two people, Kouta and Yuka, find her and bring her home, unaware that such a monster still lurks within Nyuu.

The main female character in both Elfin Lied and 3x3 Eyes have very strong forceful personalities, not to mention the fact that neither one of them is human!  There are some awkward developments with the hero of the story because the personality of the heroines changes from nice to an entirely different character altogether, one that is stern and even antagonizing.  The charm of the innocent girl verses the serial killer aspect in both Pai (3x3 Eyes) and Nyu (Elfin Lied) is very intriguing.

Bleach

Bleach

Ichigo Kurosaki is an average high school boy with a not-so-average ability to see spirits - something that hadn't affected his life much until a strange woman entered his room one day. Named Kuchiki Rukia, she's a shinigami who was sent from the spirit world to destroy a hollow - a dead-soul-turned-monster; and much to her surprise, Ichigo can see her. When the hollow suddenly attacks his family, Rukia intervenes and is injured in the process, leaving Ichigo to fight it himself. But when Rukia lends him her shinigami powers - which is forbidden - he inadvertently drains them away and has no way to return them. Now, Ichigo is a full-fledged shinigami who must juggle his studies with his newfound duty of fighting hollows; but having gained his powers through forbidden means, the spirit world isn't going to leave Ichigo alone. Ichigo and Rukia must keep their situation a secret from the other shinigami, or the consequences could be dire.

There is whole lot of similarities between the two. Both worlds are set in modern times having to face the destruction of humanity head on from two evil antogonists. Yakumo Fuji and Ichigo Kurosaki are two great guys who are ready to help and stop anything in their paths. Their personalities are somewhat similar but the way the stories are laid out is like comparing a parallel world to an alternate universe.

Bleach is mostly centered on a world filled with hollows while in 3x3 Eyes is a demon infested world hidden from the shadows. Schools and cities sometimes play a major role when invaded by demons/hollows. They both have friends who each posses unique power to help them on their journey to save humanity from becoming extinct later on the arcs. Both Team encounter allies as their number of defense begin to grow stronger. Later down the road, the both main protagonists undergo intense training awakening the demon within them.

Both series are very long to read and tell an epic adventure through their own perspective and have their comedic and tragic moments.

Grimoire of Zero

Grimoire of Zero

Our story follows a half-man, half-beast mercenary; humans mockingly call his kind the “fallen beasts”. He always dreamt of becoming a human, but one day, he met a witch who would change his life forever. “Do you desire a human form? Then be my escort, mercenary!” The witch introduced herself as “Zero”, and explained that she was searching for a one-of-a-kind magical tome that bandits had stolen from her lair. Entitled “The Book of Zero”, the grimoire supposedly contained valuable magical knowledge that could be used to effortlessly bring the world to its knees. Thus, in order to realize his dream of becoming a human, the mercenary must accompany Zero on her journey—despite her being one of the witches he so loathed.

Life's never boring in Kagura Total Security, especially not for Taba Yoichi; he's surrounded by an office full of trigger-happy, ass-kicking beauties! Specializing in the eradication of Phantom Cats, the team uses any means possible to trap these data-phantoms before they can take over important pieces of technology. However, when Kagura Total Security has one of its own kidnapped, it's up to gun-toting Umezaki, speed-driving Himehagi and fist-flinging Randou to bring her back!
