(Please, help me choose)

Shigurui
At the beginning of the Edo Era, when people enjoyed a time of peace, Lord Tokugawa Tadanaga holds a fighting tournament. In the past, matches were fought with wooden swords. This time, real swords will be used.
One-armed Fujiki Gennosuke and blind Irako Seigen will fight each other in this match. Both are disciples of Iwamoto Kogan, who is known as Japan's greatest swordsman. Each of them are determined to prove himself the successor of Iwamoto's school. However, there can only be one champion.
So begins a story of intertwining fates, conflict, and strange destinies.

Vexille - 2077 Nihon Sakoku
At the beginning of the 21st century, due to both the rapid development of human lifespan extending biotechnology and robotics, Japan dominates world industry. On the grounds that this technology is dangerous, the U.N. orders Japan to impose strict regulatory measures.
The Japanese government refuses the order. They rebel against the U.N. and instead decide on a policy of "National Isolation."
In 2067 A.D., using advanced technology, Japan begins its complete isolation from the rest of the world.
Ten years pass.
In 2077 A.D., Vexille, a female soldier of SWORD, the United States Special Forces, infiltrates Japan. What she sees there is beyond her imagination. Devastation spreads as far as the eye can see. Is this really the Japan that wielded advanced technologies? No other foreigner has seen the true face of Japan during these 10 years.

D.Gray-Man
Towards the end of the 19th century, Allen Walker officially joins the organization of Exorcists that destroy the beings known as Akuma; mechanic weapons made by the Millienium Earl with the suffering souls of the dead. Allen has both a cursed eye and an anti-Akuma weapon as an arm, bearing the power of "Innocence", a gift given to him as an apostle of God. Allen, along with his fellow Exorcists must put a stop to the Milleniuum Earl's ultimate plot that could lead to the destruction of the world and all who live on it.

Murder Princess
On the 4th of Month of Jade, Cyndina Era 672, Dr. Akamashi, a scientist formerly in the employ of the government, launches a coup d’etat in the Forland kingdom. With his dying breaths, the mortally wounded king sends his daughter Alita to find Prince Kite, who is leading a peace talk envoy and its military escort abroad. As she flees from the castle and reaches a forest on the country's border, however, Alita encounters the forest's guardian beast.
Running for her life, Alita meets Falis, an infamous bounty hunter said to have achieved the feat of slaying a dragon. They bump into one another at the edge of a cliff, and plummet to the ground. During the fall, the nature of the near-death experience forcibly switches Alita's and Falis' bodies. After Falis dispatches the guardian beast, Alita pleads with the bounty hunter to protect the Forland kingdom, offering herself, body and soul, as collateral. Falis agrees.
Thus the world's strongest and most savage princess, thereafter known as the Murder Princess, is born.

Mushi-Uta
Mushi-uta's story takes place in the near future. Ten years before the story's opening, strange insect-like creatures known as "Mushi" began appearing. The Mushi are able to consume peoples' dreams and thoughts in return for supernatural powers. At the end of episode one, protagonist Daisuke "Kakkou" Kusuriya encounters a young girl named Shiika Anmoto. The two, in time, become quite close. However, unbeknownst to Kakkou, Shiika is an escapee from a secret prison known as GARDEN where those posessed by the Mushi, known as the Mushitsuki are held. GARDEN's military force, the Special Environmental Conservation Executive Office, dispatches its finest killer to track down Shiika. However, they are faced with resistance from the Mushibane resistance organisation, led by the secretive "Ladybird".

 

That's all. Would you give me suggestion on some of them to start immediately?
