DEATH NOTE
This is the live-action version of Death Note, my favorite work. The ending differs from the manga and the live-action. But personally, I prefer the live action version better.

He uses it to kill criminals one after another and he cannot be judged by the law. His goal is to realize an ideal society without any crimes. His goal is to realize an ideal society without crime. Meanwhile, the ICPO begins investigating the mass deaths of criminals as murder cases. They send in to L, a mysterious detective who has solved cold cases all over the world, to investigate the cases. Now, the fierce battle between Light and L, two geniuses, begins!

Rurouni Kenshin
This movie is definitely for Samurai lovers as the action scenes are very cool.
Synopsis
The main character is Himura Kenshin, a famous assassin in Kyoto at the end of the Edo period, who was once known as “Hitokiri Battosai” and was feared by important people in the Shogunate and samurai of the Sashaku Faction. The story begins ten years later, in the 11th year of the Meiji Era. Unlike the previous Kenshin, who had taken a “vow of non-killing” and considered the taking of human life to be evil, Kenshin spent his days peacefully traveling around Japan as a wanderer protecting the weak. When Kamiya Kaoru meets Kenshin in a time of crisis, the story begins.
Gintama
This work is interesting because it has separate scenes for comedy and serials.
Synopsis

Gintoki Sakata, an eccentric man who still maintains his samurai spirit, meets Shinpachi, the son of a defunct swordsmanship dojo, and Kagura, a Yatozoku girl. One after another, incidents occur around the Manjiya they run.
