Bleach
Ichigo Kurosaki is thrust into the world of Soul Society as he and his friends try to rescue their friend Rukia from an unjust execution. *NOTE: HAHA, seeing a lot of NO votes. If you don't like my suggestions, add ones that you DO like. I only added the actors with whom I am familiar. Other than some seiyuu, I am not very familiar with Japanese actors. Open to suggestions!*
The Giver
The Giver is set in a society which at first appears to be utopian but is revealed to be dystopian as the story progresses. The novel follows a 12-year-old boy named Jonas. The society has taken away pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of Receiver of Memory, the person who stores all the past memories of the time before Sameness, as there may be times where one must draw upon the wisdom gained from history to aid the community's decision making. Jonas struggles with concepts of all the new emotions and things introduced to him: whether they are inherently good, evil, or in between, and whether it is even possible to have one without the other. The Community lacks any color, memory, climate, or terrain, all in an effort to preserve structure, order, and a true sense of equality beyond personal individuality.
