    If you watch Sailor Moon’s first series back­wards, it’s four girls being resur­rec­ted from hor­rible deaths, then lots of super­heroines going to school for some reason, and then they revert back into being ordin­ary folk again.

    Watch Dur­arara!! back­wards and you have gangs who stop fight­ing… Actu­ally scratch that, I think it’s the same as Bac­cano — both their con­tinu­it­ies are freak­ing palindromes.

    …These are actu­ally really hard to think up.

    If you watch Bludgeon­ing Angel Dokuro-Chan back­wards, it’s about an angel who keeps killing a boy with a silly magical chant, and then resur­rect­ing him by pound­ing him back together with a spiked club. (This causes him to have sexual fantas­ies, which I think is tak­ing mas­ochism a bit too far.)

    If you watch Samurai Champloo back­wards, it’s about a young girl encoun­ter­ing two samurai; a vag­a­bond and a ronin. They instantly get along. The girl watches her father come back to life, while the samurai revive their strongest enemies. The three of them then explore Japan, from Naga­saki to Tokyo.

    On the way, they play a base­ball game, dodge a met­eor, battle some zom­bies, spit out some mush­rooms, revive a blind woman, hang out with said blind woman, leave her to resume her day job. Then the young girl for­gets everything about her father’s reli­gion. The vag­a­bond for­gets how to read, while the ronin revives an archer.

    The vag­a­bond helps the shogun’s pret­ti­est ninja rebuild an illegal coun­ter­feit oper­a­tion, while the girl becomes skinny after eat­ing like a pig. The vag­a­bond then reunites with some pir­ates, before tak­ing a swim in the ocean. He finds him­self on a ship that is on fire. He man­ages to get off the ship unharmed.

    The samurai read the girl’s diary back­wards for lulz.

    The ronin falls out of love with a woman and takes her to an eel stand. The vag­a­bond revives a shaolin-trained swords­man. He then gets all goofed up on drugs and passes the bor­der with his companions.

    The trio wit­ness a young kid being brought back to life, and trans­form him into a thief. They then enter Tokyo, and a Dutch man tells them to go to Naga­saki, even though they’ve already been there. All four of them decide to enter a eat­ing con­test for the hell of it. In another town, the trio revive a gang war, which star­ted after the girl pre­ten­ded to be a dice roller. The vag­a­bond revives an ogre.

    The trio then even­tu­ally split up again, on bad terms.

    Damn, that took forever to write.

      The only thing you’re miss­ing is that it’s not eat­ing con­tests. It’s throw­ing up con­tests. Fuu always starts before every­one else though

After high­school doesn’t work out and the hot blonde assas­sin goes back 10 years in the space of half a yeah, the guy and girl dis­ap­pear from each other and face off as rivals between oppos­ite sides. Both get shot before mira­cu­lously being sent back to their train­ing facil­ity — guy has amne­sia and doesn’t remem­ber any­thing but is sent back to live a nor­mal life with all his per­sonal inform­a­tion and the series ends as he watches Ein kill the guy. He walks away and noth­ing happens.
