Bleach-What happens to us after we live our lives on Earth? Do we simply cease to exist? Or will our ‘souls’ continue ‘living’ in another dimension or world? We may never get an answer to the question until it is too late. One thing is for sure – the latter possibility certainly makes human lives much more significant than just a frivolous existence on Earth, and we will step into such a universe in Animax’s upcoming anime series, Bleach!


Idaten Jump-Sho Yamato and his fifth-grade friends Kakeru and Makoto are fans of mountain biking. Riding the "Flame Kaiser" bicycle built by his father, Sho and his friends practice in their haunt called the ‘X-Zone’. As another team of mountain bikers known as "Shark Tooth" challenge them to a race, Sho’s team is transported into an alternate world, also called ‘X-Zone’ where they will face ‘Idaten Battles’ by racing through volcanoes, ghost towns and deserts to return to their own world…


Onimusha Dawn of Dreams-Sixteen years have passed since the warlord Oda Nobunaga perished in the flaming ruins of Honnouji. Decades of war have ripped Japan apart, but peace, it seems, is finally at hand. The once fractious country is now unified under the banner of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, while the evil Genma that once terrorised the land are nowhere to be seen.

But when an ominous Omen Star suddenly appears over the skies of Japan, the land is rocked by a series of natural disasters. Worse yet, word arrives that the Genma have returned—and Hideyoshi may have something to do with them. As Hideyoshi prepares for a ritual that will throw the world into darkness, a new Onimusha, Yuuki Hideyasu, must travel to the country’s capital to put an end to his schemes before it’s too late


Origin-300 years into the future, trees have undergone mutation due to genetic experimentation, gained consciousness and have taken over the world. Toola, a girl kept asleep for the past 300 years awakes to find it was her father’s experiments that have caused the radical changes. Together with soldier Shunack and young boy Agito, Toola attempts to return things to the way they used to be.
