Remove the moe.

It'll be abouot a man who lives in a forest and burns charcoal. AS he burns charcoal all y himself, a forest spirit sometimes comes to him and watches them. They never look at or talk to one another, but they love each other. She doesn't care that he's a hikkikomori and doesn't judge him.

>>17080156 Maybe include a love interest in there as well, but don't focus solely on it. Have her die or something
Make her an elephant.

>>17080302
a shape shifting elephant goddess.

That'll make for some interesting rule 34

He needs a love scene with a goat, like batman

>>17080372

No, just an elephant.

That is so stupid. Seriously, does your brain even work? His motivation is very unrealistic.

Original anime ideas, you say? Copypasta of my idea in the last thread like this:

An up-and-coming rock band set in a futuristic world is thrown into a new social custom, where in order to entertain the masses in ways their music alone cannot, they must participate in fights-to-the-death with other rival bands, while also performing a live show at the same time. Winners inherit the wealth and social status of the bands they've slayed, until they reach the top of the pyramid for their genre and are crowned Band Lord, who remain the most popular and powerful bands around until newcomers rise to challenge them for the throne.

A Steve Irwin anime? I'll watch it.

>>17080392
anime needing realistic motivation.

>>17080413
This one is better, but try to come up with something better than Roman Gladiators in SPAAAAAAAAACE.

I liked OPs idea better when it was called The Protector.

COUNTERPOINT

Animate insane right-wing cartoonist Kobayashi Yoshinori's anti-anti-whaling manga. The plot is:

Kobayashi lives in a world where whales - run amok! - are devouring all the earth’s fish, and only Japan can save us from this cetacean menance. But, like the X-men, the Japanese are misunderstood and feared : instead of the world saying “Thank you for saving us from these gluttons!” the anti-whaling countries ( motivated by pure racism and backed by no less than Nelson Rockefeller!) harass and defame Earth’s savior.

In Kobayashi’s world, Greenpeace is only in it for the money, (all those Rockefeller millions, plus the many diamonds and pearls they get in the mail from donations), Anglo Saxons are Japan’s enemy (Despite the Scandinavian countries being the most pro-whaling countries), and the whole anti-whaling movement is an international conspiracy to make Japan dependent on foreign tuna! Reading this manga is sort of like meeting a Tabacco-industry scientist who is also an LSD researcher.

>>17080413

What if they just kick ass, but their music is shit?

>>17080453
If you watch non-shit anime and truly pay attention. It can be pretty epic... story wise. Seriously, stop watching Code Geass.

>>17080505
assumtion-based argument made weaker with saging.

A story about a man who's tired with life and wants to die, but he wants to find a way to die so that he will leave a mark in history, so he travels around the world looking for ways to die, but during his trips he regains hope and decides to live. Story will be filled with pretty scenery and nice people around the world that stops his attempts to die. In the end he finds love and publishes a book about his life and becomes a billionaire and kills himself by sending himself up onto the moon and suffocating looking down on earth and says something epic in his last moments alive, which were broadcast on live TV, causing many manly tears.

>>17080484
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
It's original, but boring as hell. Why the hell did the whales go crazy? What happened to the eco-system? In Democratic countries someone in power would definitely see any problems and persuade others to help. Way too many holes man. That shit is like swiss cheese.

>>17080576
oh and it will be a 60 volume manga, 386 episode manga with 2 OVA's on the people around the world the protagonist has met along his journey.

>>17080576wants to die, but in an epic way

Holy shit, if I wanted to kill myself, this would be me

>>17080576
similar death already happened. Might want to reconsider.

>>17080576

You had me right up until "publishes a book". I would've watched the first part, though. Actually I think I'll jack that idea and use it for my own... thanks!

>>17080679
hmmm... what about the same concept of dies on the moon looking down on the earth, except he talks about his life on the moon for a few hours till he runs out of oxygen?

>>17080576
This one is interesting. I can imagine the art style...
People will be able to relate to the character. Everyone has those bad days and most people want to do something meaningful. It seems that is would be too boring having a guy always going after one goal in this, so if he were to be a little iffy about it in the middle then change his mind in the end you could likely get the audience to stay with you until the "epic" end. Hit them hard at the ending and they leave feeling impacted.

Still, a lot of these ideas suck.

>>17080661
He's just trying to be negative about everything without even paying attention.

Most people would call that a troll.

A man JUST LIKE YOU spends his time on the internet and watching anime

He's geeky but has long hair and VERY good looking, only that women dont see his attractivness and are all ugly anyway, mingling with asshole guys and jocks

Then one day, while in the anime video game hentai club, you meet a woman named konota

Only she has big breasts, is shy and is beautiful

anime is on their trials and tribulations and full of fanservice

>>17080492
I figure things would either be set up one of two ways:
1. Each band is split into two halves, one half that does all of the music, and the other half that does all of the fighting. The fighters' job is to attack the enemy band while defending the other half of their band doing all of the singing; if one of the singing members gets taken out, one of the fighters must immediately jump in to take that person's place for the rest of the concert, which is why their weapons must also double as instruments. In return, the band, when performing exceptionally well, can give power-boost type things to the fighters.

>>17080661
I guess I didn't. And I guess I am making assumptions.

Blaaaaaaaaawd Ohshunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

>>17080728
shes also a cross between a maid catgirl glasses wering loli with breasts

>>17080758
2. Everything's setup RPG style where they take turns attacking. But that'd be much, much less awesome, albeit a lot less complicated too.

>>17080716
what I meant was that there was a similar "epicly dies on the moon by running out of air" death in some movie. You might want to use something else otehr than the moon.

>>17080721
If we all had good ideas we'd be writers. Don't be angry if I cwush your little dweams. Prove me wrong and I will accept it.

Don't take what I say so seriously, I am just some random guy on the internet.

OH GOD, A CROSS BETWEEN GUITAR HERO AND GUILTY GEAR

OH
MY
PORK

Wrote this months ago, but whatever.
(John) came into existence on November 11, at 11:11AM.
He grew up the same as anyone, hanging out with his friends, daydreaming about girls he liked, and anything else of the sort.
Seventeen years after he was born, he developed an ability-- That of reverse telepathy. This meant that anyone within a three meter radius of his head could hear his thoughts as if they were listening to a mental radio broadcast.
On November 11, at 11:10AM, (John) was sitting at his seat, smack dab in the center of the classroom. He looked up at the girl who had sat in front of him since the beginning of the year, and began fantasizing about doing -more- than just getting to know her.

>>17080818
All he needs are tweaks. It's impossible to make something completely new. In 300 the main character died the same way most people die in melee war movies. But it still got a lot of attention.

>>17080830
My dreams are uncrushed, since I haven't posted anything in terms of a story. I've been posting suggestions to help other plots listed.

I did, however, post that your assumption-based arguments are made weaker with your sagefagging, and you continue to prove that to be true.

>>17080818
>epicly dies on the moon by running out of air" death in some movie.

I think it was some American movie where main character becomes an astronaut, but the lunar lander gets damaged and he dies on the moon.

>>17080907
11:11AM- Every single one of his classmates gets struck by a horrible, vulgar image, leading to class-wide turmoil.

Flash forward a month later. (John) not only has a terrible reputation with his friends and classmates, and he can hardly talk to anyone without getting the evil eye. His hormones make him visualize things he shouldn't while around girls, and negative first impressions can't help but be leaked. Everything just seems to go wrong on a daily basis.
After being kicked out from his friend's place for thinking about his friend's sister in an indecent way, he walks the dark streets alone. Unbeknownst to him, he is being followed by two men who stride ever closer to him.
(John) catches on and tries to start walking faster, but the assassins hear his thoughts and give chase. (John) is about to get caught when a girl drops in to save him, hurling throwing knives skillfully into the mens' skulls. Stumbling to his feet, (John) looks up, only to see his friend's sister, (Jane).

(Jane) knocks (John) out, only to bring him to her senior- an old, enigmatic man named (Jacob). (John) is forcefully inducted into a squad of eight, all whom have abilities that should logically hinder their capabilities.

(John) comes up with a secret code that he can use to send out messages and instructions that are encrypted in his mental images, which he teaches to his teammates. This also lets him learn how to trick his attackers by forcing upon them a percieved notion of what he's about to do next, even if he has prepared other measures in advance


Came up with this while bored in Macroeconomics. Didn't care too much for names- Name them as you like.

hmm what about broadcasting in a apsace shuttle and ramming the shuttle into the sun which is coming down at earth, thus sending it back to its original position, because he was a scientist before he went on his journey and saves the earth and dies in a gigantic rocket the size of Russia which takes up a 2 page spread.

>>17080907
Sounds like a sitcom

Most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while.

Capulet and Montague?
If they are people then that is WAAAAY to unrealistic. People can see similarities in each other and the fighting would stop one day. Maybe if they were so different that it wouldn't be easy to relate... Kinda like people and orcs. <---- That is just and example.

ANIME PLOTS. LOOK AT OP'S FUCKING PIC.

SUSPENSION OF BELIEF, RETARDS.

Better question: how many of you have actually tried writing a script? I have two ideas that have been knocking around in my head for months on end but I've been too lazy to do anything. Now I think I might change my major to screenwriting and actually make a profession out of the only thing I'm interested in.

Course I'm in despair that I'll have to settle for American cartoons because as a dirty foreigner without the ability to draw I'd never make it in. Unless somehow I became the next Michael Arias.

A young man just beginning down the path of sumo wrestling climbs his way up to earn himself his first title. Upon achieving his goal, however, he discovers the corruption in the sumo world, being forced to engage in rigged matches to ensure the titles of the current ranked fighters. This is the story of his struggles against a world of gamblers and money-grubbers as he strives for the title of yokozuna.

It's a classic literary device taken to an extreme in the context of time. bringing orcs/elves/fairies/what have you into it would just make it retarded.

Samurais in space. With aliens, beam katanas, space villages, the works.

>>17080924
It's been done way too many times before. People usually have something like that for one or two episodes. Don't even try to continue with something like that garbage.

>>17081024
Not necessarily. Avatar was American, the plot kicked ass, the art style was nothing but weeaboo, and apparently Japan has acknowledged in a commercial over there that they consider it the "first American anime," so theoretically, sky's the limit now. I'm already working on something myself, but I'm keeping that on the down-low for a while; needs a lot of refining still.

>>17081024
I do screenplays. Not as hard as you would imagine, as the format is very simple.

Also, there's always the option of hiring an artist to do some sort of indie comic project, or submitting work to major comic producers.

There are always options.

an inter-racial relationship comedy story between a dwarf and a gnome?

Main character is a struggling scientist he manages to create a free energy device with the ability to seemingly create infinite energy thus utterly obliterating the theory of conservation of energy and the second law of thermodynamics. He offers it to companies but they all reject it claiming that it is a scam. He bounces around unsuccessfully till he gets killed by assassins sent oil/solar/nuclear energy companies. His death is covered up as a suicide.

>>17081070
No plot for that idea yet, I just thought it'd be a neat world. Like Gintama in reverse.

How would you go about selling an anime script anyway?

Also, I still like the mind reading but backwards idea in a hentai. I think I might steal it.

hentai should be easy to write for

>>17081030
Fund it.

Add in some drama of secret attacks on this guy when he goes against the scripts for the staged fights and tries to win when he's supposed to lose and whatnot.

FAT MAN VS YAKUZA

There's also a lot of history of sumo rasslin for you to look into on this subject. Have fun with the research!

>>17081030fat man as the main character

lolno

noodle people cant RASSLE, maybe boxing or something.

A young singer explores different types of music all over the world so that he can perfect his style and become the ultimate singer. On the way he finds band mates. Also, during the episode, a music video is aired from a current band. It would have nothing to do with the show, except for maybe the type of music the main character is exploring.

>>17081024
Script writing isn't hard enough to take a class for it. Don't waste your time. You can learn the ways of the industry by reading books and being observant. But the actual process of script writing couldn't be simpler.
>>17081063
I guess, if you are aiming for some kind of joke. Thousands of years is way too much time. Maybe a few hundred and it can be a kid's show.

A young woman finds out that sex isn't what she thought it was

Ever since his mother had a abortion Main character begins seeing a strange boy and befriends him, however to his surprise nobody else can see him but his friends actions can effect the real world. The boy tells him that he is his brother and that it is not fair that he never got the chance to live. Main character gets tricked into promising to to anything to allow him to live as long as it does not involve the death of anyone he loves.

>>17081183

>>17081213

>You can learn the ways of the industry by reading books and being observant. But the actual process of script writing couldn't be simpler.

Watch out, we've got an expert screenwriter on our hands here.

But in all seriousness yeah, the saying that it's more about the people you know than what you know is pretty true in the entertainment industry. But for me, I need some kind of structure to kick my ass in gear and make me write. I'm not motivated enough on my own right now.

>>17080758
Why is no one paying attention to this one? Fuck, it's like the anime version of this picture (inb4Princess Tutu).

>>17081124
This is very similar to something going on in my life now. And it has really scared the shit out of me.
>>17081183

VERY GOOD. Work hard.
>>17081261
Because it's a joke and will not be taken seriously by producers. Shut the hell up.

Here is a high school love comedy I've brewed in my head for awhile.
Since wussy male leads are completely over done crap the protagonist is an honour student, good looking, competent, but a complete apathetic jerk. He only has two friends who associate with him, the cliche childhood friend and the school occult freak. The girl was seperated from him during middle school and has become popular so she now and cant be seen with him. She still holds feelings she cant express and does often bother him out of school. The other is the school occult freak who is drawn to his dark personailty and wont leave him alone. His parents are rich though, so in the end its something he can tolerate for how much he pays him back for it.
The occult freak tries to use the apartment of the protagonist all the time (his own parents won't accept his hobby) for crazy experiments. One day he tries to summon the lurkers beyond the threshold, but he fails miserably. When the lead tries to clean up after he somehow completes the ritual properly and an eldrich daemon girl seemingly his own age, absolutely gorgeous and moe is brought through into the world. She can't exist in the real world without straying far from the protagonist and so becomes a nusience who wont leave and makes his "just as planned" life a complete mess. She doesnt have much control over her own powers but at times is able to manipulate reality to her will and prone to crazy yandere moments.
He has to gar the fuck up however because crazy shit starts to happen as a permanent rift has been established and crazy shit starts happening around town as all other Lovecraftian horrors start running amok and a group has to put some stop to it. Not really a horror more like a parody of the whole Cthulhu mythos. Then slowly the harem grows. Everyone few chapters till all five assemble a bunch of other daemon girls cross the threshold and fall in love, lust over or try to enslave the protagonist.

a comedy about a computer virus with agency who chooses his victims and makes their life hell by opening porn sites etc at the wrong times.

>>17081274
>Maybe if you add some fan-service and breasts you will be saved.
Yes, because that's worked SO WELL every other time it's been used to "fix" an anime.

>>17081259
You're right to doubt this guy for thinking that a book will teach you everything you need to know. I work in a bookstore with a rather large writing section; 90% of it being "omg YOU can make the next big blockbuster!" and they're all shit.

I took a screenwriting class. My instructor was a card-carrying member of the WGA, and I had actually seen a number of his works. He knew what he was talking about, and he could give you one-on-one advice, which is really helpful. Taking a class isn't hard or expensive, and it'll do you a world of good if this is what you're into. If anything, it'll still be interesting.

>>17081274
1: Nobody believes you're invovled with anything remotely similar to that idea.
2: SHOUNEN JUMP, anyone? They're all the same idea, and the majority of them sell well. You don't know what you're talking about.

that was fucking great

I always thought he had a VERY good body.

>>17081330
A lot of American reality shows like made and stuff that air's on TV. They have so many episodes of "Behind the Scenes" i think it was... Where it has happened. Audiences have seen a lot of this in the 90's. I can't list them because I can't remember the names.

Ok ok.

Well, y'know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

>>17081400
tldr: High school love comedy with Elder Gods and shit

The main character is a ordinary guy, he is an average student but he has no interests and is completely ignored at his high school, his only friends are a crazed hyper intelligent fast talking conspiracy theorist, communist supporter etc and the most smug guy in his school, who has slept with the most girls in the school and always brags about all the girls he fucked, and believes that he is the strongest and smartest person in the world. Main character hates hanging out with them because he has no choice since he does not fit into any of the cliques he figures hanging out with the two other high school pariahs is the best he can hope for. Main character suffers from constant depression and wishes to find belonging, he desperately wants to find something that he is good at or is interested in. His only skill is making lists, before he can do anything he must make a list and he keeps all of his lists with him and adds them into a folder after he completes them some of his lists are ,things I want to do before I die, food that I have not tried etc...

>>17080247
self-insertion anime, huh? It always pays to pander to the losers.

>>17081395
>American reality shows
And that says it all.

Also, nice list. We're ready to believe you.

I'd do a show like akagi or deathnote but about network security and slightly in the future. underground kid (possibly dual wielding a somewhat important above ground identity like death note) with w/e motivation dealing with various internet things.

show is highly visual with a net like GITS, perhaps even to a higher degree. Focus of the show is suspense, understanding, and increasingly intellectual game play described through metaphors and solid descriptions of various risks at steak. just think of akagi how you don't know shit about mahjong but it becomes exciting because you understand the magnitude/ curiosity/ deceit and ultimately, complexity of the thing.

>>17081420
I think something similar is already being done. By one of TokyoPop's shitty OEL manga authors, no less.

Boy has telekinetic control over Legos, and only Legos.

>>17081395

Well this is anime. Which is different. And I didn't want the show to be in a completely serious manner at all, more of a comedy. Why do you think I posted this:

>>17081232

>>been in my head for a while
>>something I've been mulling over
>>I've thought of

is /a/ filled with people making their own ANIMUS or something? Cause we don't nearly have enough threads like this on /v/.

A VOTOMS esque, hard science mecha show that is shown from the perspective from a war photographer. But it is only told from his perspective, meaning that he is always going to be the focus, there is never going to be a scene without him in it. The person watching will only know what the main character will know.

>>17081469
i like this idea... it sounds like it has comedy potential

>>17081473
/a/ - novelists.

>>17081340
Seems okay, I scanned through it because I hate walls of text. Plays on most guys' fantasies. It's been done with dogs and cats, but demons are refreshing.

>>17081396

>>17081458but about network security

I wish I had a picture of a fat guy on his computer right now

you made me lol.

also, whats with the sager? Is he like a screenwriter or something?

>>17081473
I've got about as many animu script ideas as I do vidya ideas. I just don't go blurting them out publicly.

Last time I did something like that, Shadow the Hedgehog popped up years later. Am I saying that Sega stole my idea? Not really, but it's entirely possible, since the concepts were so insanely similar.

It's just not a good idea to publicly post uncopywritten material on the net.

>>17081550
You people need to think your ideas through

I mean, think of the hentai that will pop up. Do you REALLY want an 80 year old man doing a 12 year old loli?

A boy who starts to need glasses, he gets glasses, the glasses makes him look smarter, and so he becomes smarter, then ge tries on a pair of womens glasses and becomes a woman, then he tries on a pair of "cool" glasses and becomes cool etc..

so he changes with different types of glasses he puts on.

>>17081550
freedom fighters should have junkers with INSANE CUSTOMIZATIONS that give them the edge over the odds against them.

>>17081599

Actually, I take it back. Fuck I really wanted feedback but I don't want people to steal my idea. I'm really going to try to write it.

Anyway, my show will have no moe in it so I don't expect most of /a/ to like it. /m/ would appreciate it more.

>>17081622
no idea what the story would be about tho lol.

>>17081538
I dont know anything about shadow the hedgehog

whats it about, and where did your idea differ?

For you, good sir.

>>17081538

none of us are ever planning to implement these ideas but we would like to see them implemented.....

>>17081593
Hey, I never intended it to be involved in an actual game. Plus, my version didn't have guns, and wasn't angsty.

>>17081616
>I mean, think of the hentai that will pop up. Do you REALLY want an 80 year old man doing a 12 year old loli?

Haha oh wow. I already thought of that, but she's not 12. She'll be like 17. Plus I'm not responsible for what people do with my idea. If I thought like that there would be no Miyazaki movies.

>>17081628

That's actually a really good idea. They should be more creative, with crazy homemade weapons coming out. Grappling claws and... I don't know, crazy shit.

>>17081622
Hmm...sounds interesting, but it shouldn't be just glasses, it should be any article of clothing assigned with certain attribute, like male, female, cool, goth, etc. Also, the character would have to avoid wearing clothes that looked too unisex, or else he would become a hermaphrodite and might get stuck that way.

>>17081657
hentai

when in doubt, just make it a hentai

no idea where to take your freedom fighting mecha anime? Make it a hentai.

Hentai is always the answer, like here:

>>17081484

He also captures rape in the battlefield.

There, script sold.

Most of the time shows about real life are depressing. If you are a good writer and can add a few comedy bits than fine.

>>17081470

We're being serious here? I thought it was about shows we wanted to see.

>>17081458
for some reason, "network security" makes me giggle

Am I the only one getting a very "condescending Macfag college theater major" vibe from the anon criticizing every idea that's been posted?

This is a personal journey of a man assigned to protect Earth's first travelling space station from alien beasts. He waits in a hallway, it's quite dark. The lights are blinking and sparking out of the air. The beasts had made it past all security... they were in the base. They were practically demons. Tall, humanoid, muscular, huge goat horns... except some of them also had cybernetic implants. Like a huge missle launcher.

Whatever the hell they were, everybody called them Demons. He warned his commander they were coming, but he didn't listen. And now it was too late. Far too late.

His radio cracked, he received his orders. He was the only one left... he was to go and fight the demons himself. It was a suicide mission, but he'd been on them before. He also had a few nice weapons. He may yet make it out of this alive.

He blew up the wall with his plasma rifle. The Demons looked startled, even somewhat afraid. Did they know he was here to kill them? But alas their fear did not last, one of the demons(with the cybernetic rocket launcher) shot some missles at him. Our hero plasmas at them and tries to blow them up. But the ceiling can't take the abuse and crashes in on them. Both our hero and the demons are trapped and not able to kill.
He struggled out of the rubble and yelled in frustration. "I MUST KILL THE DEMONS"
Suddenly, the radio crackeled in an unfamiliar voice. The voice spoke strangely, putting emphasis on the wrong cyllables and speaking in a rather morose tone.
"No John. You are the demons."

And then our hero was a zombie.

-SUBJECT TO MAJOR TWEAKING BUT THE GHOST IDEA SHALL REMAIN-

cant sage that idea, asshole

>>17081768
It is about that, this anon just got way too into it and started rating everything or saying "that won't work, publishers will never even give that a second look" and whatnot.

>>17081537
Yes I am.
>>17081616
I don't care for the man.
>>17081622
Hilariously awesome.

>>17081719
Dude. We're not asking for your "professional" opinion. We're just sharing our ideas. Stop being a dick and ruining our fun.

It would take place in a universe where human-like evolutionary paths are fairly common.

Humans have been targeted for genocide by the master race of the universe for beginning research on using particle accelerating weapons. Since weapons have been outlawed by the allied forces of the universe, their method of eliminating a race consists of basically chaff grenading the planet, followed by colony drops on the major cities filled with a hyper-aggressive human-like species who proceed to kill off all of the planet's inhabitants amidst the chaos of losing the technology which governs their lives.

The first half would be about the protagonists fighting of the aggro humans, and living in a world without all of the niceties of modern life. Basically World War Z from a single perspective.

Second half would be restoring humanity, and counterattacking the master race a la the Antispiral arc in TTGL, but instead of power up to win it'd be more of an arms race.

>>17081798
That, or he wants to be a movie critic, but as you can see, he can't really make solid arguments, so nobody would ever listen to his opinion.

He's basically just spouting bitterness.

An entire American Fraternity wins a contest and they win a trip to Tokyo, They have wild crazy drunken adventures through Tokyo and have fun by doing things like streaking and fucking tons of Japanese girls, at the end of the anime they throw the BIGGEST MOTHERFUCKING PARTY Tokyo has ever seen.

>>17081844
What you fail to understand is that American industry!=Japanese industry

Anime has-...its completely different. You wont find soul plane or 8 Mile being succesful in Japan, or as an anime....or both.

ITT We're disgruntled failing screenwriters

>>17081622
KID CHAMELEON!

>>17081882
this idea would be better off as a movie like American pie or something

>>17081787
I'll revise it.

Its about a young boy trudging through the dark troughs of corporate greed and government espionage with the internet as his playground. he is a child prodigy, but is weak and learning in many ways. we learn though him. he is determined to save his long lost sister stolen by the evil Bismark corporation. He is one part adventurer, one part vigilante. its not like the show would ever be him sitting at a computer.

HUMBUG

>>17081768
It'll never be made, shut up.
>>17081798
They are only opinions. And I saw some very good ideas I just don't like to be nice as much.

>>17081847
You must be new to 4chan. Stop being such a faggot.

>>17081882
holy fuck, and it is overflowing with "SHOKKU!" reactions from elevens for comedy effect. Plus, throw in some of their extremists that want to close Japan's borders again being won over by ZANY AMERICAN FREE SPIRITS or some garbage like that for even more of a kick in the pants.

>>17081882
The Japs would never allow "FILTHY GAJINS" to rape and pillage their capital. Still, it'd be fun to see how it would play out.

>>17081977
>Wall of text.

Says it all right there.

Also, nobody believes that you're a screenwriter any more than they believe that you're involved with something like renewable energy.

>>17081824

I didn't know whether to wait for him to insult the idea and to bring this out, or to just make a

>>work in progress

"make it a hentai"

post, so I'll just post the damn pic

>>17081977
opinions usually have ideas behind them. You're simply saying things to piss on the parade.

>>17082004
While that's true, it could also be possible that they could use the idea to mock americans with a little elbowing of "it's just a joke, eh? Eh?" tagged on the end.

Not likely, but an amusing idea. Animal House meets Tokyo.

Someone please prove me wrong. Tell me what is the true way I should be looking at these shit ideas? I can take it. If I am wrong then I can rethink it and evolve into a better person. I'm bitter, I like arguing. I mean, just saying I'm an asshole isn't going to make me think any differently of this shit. 4chan isn't your forum where everyone agrees with your bullshit. You should have learned that in /b/ootcamp.

>>17082034

I'll be damned if I'm gonna let that stop me now.

Please tell me you're trolling. This entire thread is made up of more hypothetical ideas than anything else, and you're telling me in won't be made?

>>17081977An idea has to be original to sell

cause Gurren Lagann was OVERFLOWING with originality and creativity

When it comes to anime, if it has good art/animation and likable characters and some fanservice plus good designs, it doesn't matter at all

Just look at Narudoe

>>17082084
>prove me wrong

>>17082103

it*

>>17082084
You're the only one taking this shit seriously

OP here, my idea sounded somewhat good in my head, but thats because I had the pieces of animation and shots and overall "feel" in my head.

But ideas like the guitar hero wars or whatever just sounded so...not bad, but out there. I'm thinking its the same thing, where it looks and feels right in YOUR head.

Frankly, none of these sound too good, but again, you're the only one taking it seriously. I'm not stopping you though, would hate for this to turn to one huge circle jerk

There are no truly original ideas anymore.

I hear things like this all the time:
Unoriginal
Unrealistic

Those two things don't necessarily equate to bad. Gurren Lagann is an example of it being done right. Blue Dragon is an example of it being done wrong. Very wrong.

Besides. Realism? Seriously?

>>17082084
1. We didn't learn anything from /b/, because people who lurk /a/ avoid that place like the plague it is.
2. We're not telling you that you suddenly have to like them just because we've called you out on being an asshole. Take the proverb "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" to heart here. When you hate an idea, you just spout "shit, don't bother trying to make it work"; if you can't state why you hate it, or what would make you hate it less, then just don't fucking comment on it. It's not that hard a concept, really.

>>17081593
>>17081664
Hahahaha, I can't believe I still have this. It's the old sprite I did for the character god only knows how long ago...

Anyway, his name was also Shadow, and he was Sonic's older brother (relation to sonic, though not a clone like the game). He had a pretty good array of powers that all revovled around manifesting chaos emerald energy, which he used to move at a speed comparible to Sonic's by "dashing", or firing small bursts of energy (there may or may not have been some DBZ influencing at the time, because I was a kid, and that's what was popular then). He was a hardcore motherfucker that didn't speak much, and had an equally "wild hairstyle" to Sonic's, if not more so by being spiked OMG THE OTHER DIRECTION.

Seriously, look how hardcore that motherfucker is. Not only does he have the shades, but that bitchin' leather jacket. I bet he could beat up the Fonz.

What the hell was I thinking when I made this up? If I really influenced the actual Shadow the hedgehog, I'll see you all in hell, because you know there's a seat with my name on it...

>>17082189
EVERY-no, wait....actually, yeah

EVERY BOARD hates /b/ and avoids it like the plague

I wonder if there are any oldfags in /b/ left...and whats KEEPING them there

Plot really doesn't mean shit. It's the aesthetics, dialog and characterization that sets good stories apart from shitty ones.

You can have an anime about girls paddling boats around on Mars become a god damn masterpiece if the characters and settings are compelling enough.

>>17082179
Sup Mr. Screenwriter. That game of pretend fun for you?

>>17082206
OH!

Samefag you quoted in both posts

I thought you meant shadow the hedgehog THE GAME

The character? Pffffht, its a generic silent hardass character.

>>17082206
I'm sorry, but that just fucking REEKS of ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL. Then again, I went through an identical phase with MegaMan back when I was still underage b& comparable to a Gaiafag, so I won't hold that against you.

>>17080156
The main character is a military genius with the determination to achieve victory at any cost. He is not intimidated easily and won't hesitate to speak his mind. The brigade under his command has an astonishing ratio of 3 enemies killed for every soldier killed, they are extremely loyal and worship the main character as a god. However due to his arrogance he is alienated by the other generals, the emperor is also jealous of his growing popularity and is afraid of a coup de tat. The main character and his brigade have to deal with their enemies and their allies who are purposely trying to humiliate the main character by forcing him to lose a battle so they could have an excuse to strip him of his power. They lie to him about reinforcements and supplies that never come and purposefully position him into unfavorable battles.

>>17082282
I know its unheard of for people to compliment others on 4chan

but I'm not the sager

>>17082179
You're right, I am taking this seriously. I have fun when I'm serious.
>>17082189
/b/ used to okay. And we would frequent. But only recently has it turned to utter shit. You are still new. You don't seem to understand 4chan's original culture, so just go back to where you came from.
>>17082229
The older people have all moved to /jp/. Doesn't mean /a/ is /b2/. Just so you know.

>>17082316
what the fuck is it about kids and sonic the hedgehog?

Seriously, they're the only fandom I've seen that has SO MANY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS DO NOT STEAL

I mean, I dont see this in Super Mario, or...well, anything else. ONLY Sonic. Did Sega encourage this or soomething? Hold contests? Do what the megaman creators did and get the childrens designs and make them official?

>>17082270
Agreed, but if these people would want to see their plots made by pros they need to be non-shitty.

>>17082332
Similar to Napoleon. But in a different setting it would be enjoyable. No holes. I understand why they treat him as a god. Because he saves their asses on the battlefield.

>>17082382But only recently has it turned to utter shit.

Third guy you quoted, I've been here for three or so years now.

It was shit back then, and that isn't "recently"

also, I wouldn't call /a/ /b2/ anyway, that's /v/. Or at least, they claim to be old /b/ or some shit.

also, don't encourage people to go to /b/, please. I mean, sure, you learn memes and a bit of the "culture", but all it does is make you take 4chan waaay too seriously and see it as more than a damn website that is popular enough to sprout memes outside of it.

>>17082382
I wasn't talking about the /b/ of old, I was talking about current /b/. And it shouldn't make much difference; most all the oldfags who were around for classic /b/ have scattered to parts unknown, leaving the people like most of 4chan's current userbase who showed up after 4chan wasn't a "secret club" anymore and /b/ had become a shithole. Regardless, we're getting off-topic, although I have noticed you've resumed your presumptuous attitude towards me by writing me off as someone who "doesn't know what he's talking about and should go back where he came from." That's going to win me over, for sure.

>>17082522
By recent I meant a year or so ago. If it was shit before then... you know... I'm new.

>>17082084
I came from years of lurking /b/ before I finally gave up on it and moved to /a/, so there's your "/b/ootcamp" experience for you. And I'm seeing a lot of /b/ in your posts, where almost everything can be translated into "you, sir, are an idiot" or "GTFO" posts without any actual backing of why you said that. If you're the writer you claim to be, I find it laughable that you can't express your thoughts into text.

Being bitter and liking to argue. Wow, I bet you have a ton of friends, and these two things will guarentee your failure, since you'll NEVER be able to hadle constructive critisizm on your works; you'll take it all as "that asshole doesn't know what true art is! I'll show him by taking it to the next guy, and I'll rub it in the first guy's face when I'm filthy rich!", which will repeat at every attempt you make to sell your works. I'm not just making an assumption here. I have seen this happen. I know of one man in particular who has spent the last 15 years trying to sell is one and only "masterpiece", and refuses to change it in the least, even though everyone he approaches with it turns him down with reasons that he refuses to listen to.

If you want advice on how to comment, try something other than a 3 - 5 word /b/tard post that is some variant of "it sucks". Stop taking this shit seriously. If you don't like it, then why not have some fun with the idea and suggest some retarded spin on it? Or, since you like to be serious, you could give a comparible ANIME-RELATED (read: "american reality TV" does not qualify) suggestion as to why it's a stupid idea.

PROTIP: Saying something is unrealistic is a retarded argument, and will always be a retarded argument, when discussing anime plots. Always. Every time.

PS: you're not arguing. Arguing involved an exchange of ideas. You're just taking swipes at everything for the hell of it and hiding under the guise that you're trying to start a debate or some similar bullshit.

>>17082444
Their plots won't get made into anything because the pros already have heaps of ideas of their own or at least know where to steal some really good ones.

If you want to write a story, then don't just come up with a vague idea and sit on it expecting somebody to take interest. Either learn to write really well or learn to draw, start writing some short stories or webcomics or whatever, build your skills while lifting your targets as your skill rises.

You'll find it's a lot harder then it sounds (especially dialog) but that's all part of the challenge.

>>17082576
Well I'm waiting for you to show me the flaws I made in my stoopid response.

>>17082293
>>17082316
This was 11 years ago, putting me squarely in the middle of the agegroup responsible for "ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL" material. It is nothing short of that.

I'm not trying to argue here that it IS an original idea, but it's my argument that I always bring up when this kind of shit comes around with "posting ideas on the interet? What could go wrong?"

stop shitting up this thread

Don't like a story? explain why and what can make it better don't just say its shit...

>>17082627

The reason why we are dumping out ideas is because NONE of us ever plan on drawing or writing anything! The only thing we are hoping for is somebody willing to do something will make it.

>>17082444
the pros have people that they pay to punch up shitty ideas and make them saleable. Perhaps you have heard whispers of these mystical characters...

They're called editors.

>>17082597
You're right. I am not explaining myself. Or explaining why I think the way I do about things. For some reason I think other people know what I mean even when I shorten it. I am too lazy to write why it is unrealistic. But if they were to look closely at their own posts then they might be able to see what I see. I apologize for not going into detail. I would give some examples, but I can't remember all the anime I've watched and manga I've read. Some Eastern media isn't memorable. Plus I'm too lazy to try.
>>17082627
To tired to read all of it. But I'm sure it was proving me wrong in something.

>>17082730
>NONE of us ever plan on drawing or writing anything!
Whoa, slow down there. I never said that. I plan on taking some of my ideas and going places with them once I get enough free time to figure out the details on how I'll handle it.

>>17082760
That's off-topic.
Suppose writers were browsing now. How would the react?

>>17082730
>The reason why we are dumping out ideas is because NONE of us ever plan on drawing or writing anything!
Nothing wrong with sharing ideas for general inspiration or just the fun of it, but keep in mind the enjoyment of a story isn't really derived from the plot.

>The only thing we are hoping for is somebody willing to do something will make it.
Then you're deluding yourself. If you want the world to listen to you then you need to fight for it under your own power.

>>17082597
Also, "prove me wrong" was a phrase before 4chan.

ARGUMENTS ARE OVER. SAGEFAG IS SAGEFAG THAT THINKS HE IS AN "OLDFAG, AND THAT HIS TIME SPENT ON /b/ MEANS SOMETHING.

BACK TO PLOT IDEAS.

A boy is sent to a MYSTICAL WORLD where he is the chosen one meant to save this new realm, which he doesn't actually give a shit about, since he's apathetic to everything. Things get worse when he discovers that he is actually the latest in a string of "chosen ones" that have all met their gruesome fates trying to accomplish the "Tasks of the Chosen", which he is forced to participate in, and amazingly manages to pass through them with the very character flaw that kept him from accomplishing anything thus far in his life: a lack of caring about anything, up to and including his own death.

He also ends up getting stuck with a team of random idiots and failures that prove their worth in one bizzare way or another, making the audience question if they're really failures at all, and just have been persuing the wrong goals all this time.

What do you think, sirs?

>>17082892
Still, the plot is very important. We may watch any anime. Even if it does have a shitty plot. But mainstream people have lives and won't watch something that doesn't seem original.

>>17082871
a true writer would have some sort of editing skill, and be able to see the merit in most of these ideas, given a bit of tweaking or filling out in the right places.

>>17082919
If I say anything negative I'll get assraped, so...
It's plain, but if you work hard... blah blah blah.

>>17082991
>But mainstream people have lives and won't watch something that doesn't seem original.

Spider-man 1-3
SAW 1-5
Rocky 1-5 + Rocky Balboa
and hundreds of other popular sequal monsters, not to mention remakes.

Gosh, you're so smart.

>>17082991
>But mainstream people have lives and won't watch something that doesn't seem original.
>mainstream people
>doesn't seem original
SURELY YOU JEST!?

>>17083080
PROTIP: stop saying things.

Science anime with a genious young adult main character who is cynical and insane. The plot focuses on his resolution to end madness of society through what he loves; science and technology as well as ridicule. This must be planned at first, so he builds an underground complex as a staging area beneath his house, which coincidentally he shares with a molested girl.

It should be quite serious and emotional while still keeping the "for the lulz" and "because we can" attitudes of pure havoc.

>>17083085
>>17083086
>>17083112

We get it. He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. How about we just ignore every post that's a sage and get on with the thread?

>>17083085
>>17083086
You're right, but notice that they have something to do with something that was original. The first one opened the door. The rest flooding in after. Reality shows are in people's comfort zone. So that's that. Anime is way too much for American audiences. Once they get to and age to watch some of these ideas "cartoons" are just childish.

>>17082919
Could be DEEP.

>>17083085
I thought SAW was pretty original,

serial killer that forces victims to plat life or death games..

nothing wrong with sequels... should every manga be a oneshot?

>>17083143
then OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE, MEGAMAN!

>>17083112
>>17083167
I can be easily ignored. Go ahead. Plus I don't care for what people on the internet think about me. I can stop typing, but for some reason I have to cause drama like a little girl.

>>17083235
DAMN YOU MEGAMAN

>>17083175
Spider-man has not been original since like the 60s when he was made. Since then, he has been rehashed and rehashed, and the movies are just retellings of old, rehashed plots.

There is nothing original there.

>>17083286
Still, the younger audience probably never saw 1960's Spider-man. The producers know what they are doing.

>>17083223
>nothing wrong with sequels... should every manga be a oneshot?

I'm guessing the argument you're trying to make here is that I think every volume of a manga should be wholely seperate from any other volume of manga, which is kind of an out-of-nowhere argument, but whatever. No, that's not what I'm implying, because a series can run for some 10 volumes and still be progressing along an interesting and ever-changing idea. But if you did FLCL, FLCL2: Electric Haruko Boogaloo, FLCL3: It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad Atimosk, etc, then yes, it should stop. Rehashing shit after "THE END" can, and usually does, get old quick.

>>17083333
That's why Spiderman 3 was so fantastic, because producers know what they're doing.

See you at the Dragonball: Evolution premire!

>>17083143
>he shares with a molested girl.

wat?

Where does that come into play?

Well, I guess that's it. We all have opinions and mine aren't necessarily right. I hate leaving on a sour note so please understand that I am merely an asshole on the net and even though I have to take things too seriously, doesn't mean you need to.

>>17083444
They made money. That's the fucking point. It will be harder to introduce something anime or manga related to the market.

Goodbye, Anon. I hope you all have good days tomorrow.

>>17083286
Oho why don't we troll /co/?

To be honest I prefer manga over comics simply because it's a lot more open, pretty much any decent mangaka can come up with a good story, get it published somewhere and share THEIR story without having to rehash ???man Volume 999.

>>17083564
there are plenty of good comics that don't rehash, only the ones with superheros do

>>17083550
Right, so as a writer, you're saying that you agree with the idea that rehashes are the best way of creating entertainment because the ideas made money in the past, so people will pay to see it again. No new or original ideas should be introduced, since they're a business risk.

Bullshit. Put down your pencil and kill yourself.

PS: the point of this thread was original anime ideas. I don't think the US is really involved in that.

>>17083564
It's my main reason for reading manga, too. Every time some half-wit at my bookstore makes fun of me for reading manga in the break room because they saw a title like "Fruits Basket" or "Kitchen Princess" on the shelf, even though I'm reading Berserk, I just say "I already read the latest spiderman 10 years ago, so I'm trying something new."

>>17083677
but then you're reading indie comics, and everyone calls you a pretentious fag for reading them. ...then again, you get called a weeaboo for reading manga, and just a plain old nerd for reading superhero comics.

YOU CAN NEVER WIN.

>>17083550
>They made money. That's the fucking point. It will be harder to introduce something anime or manga related to the market.

It's pretty much risk vs reward. Economically it's probably wise to keep milking the cow and make another generic romance, drama or superhero movie or whatever, but you'll hardly get the next Star Wars or Lord of the Rings unless you take a risk, hire an excellent team and spend vast fortunes of money.

>>17083677
Not saying there aren't, but indie comics aren't anywhere near mainstream, only the superhero comics.

>>17083822
It's really a back-and-forth argument here. One side says "you're giving people what they want; something they know they'll like, and that means a guarenteed income", while the other side says "he who risks nothing, gains nothing. Eventually the industry will start to collapse if nothing new is put into it, and successful new ideas will bring in far more money than a repeating old idea"

Both sides are right. I happen to be a member of the latter argument, though.

>>17083009

That merit is near to zero. Just because it is an idea that sounds alright to you does not mean it is remotely so. It usually isn't, in fact. People are generally pretty bad at determining good ideas until they have real experience trying to turn that idea into a script.

No, really, try it. The easier it is to write it, the better the original idea is. If you can't write it it's as much because you're a crap writer as it is a crap idea, and given that anybody who ever did english in high school has some experience of having to write things to a competent standard, it's more likely more of the latter.

If you want to know which it is for you, take someone else's idea, then write it. Better. Not better you think it's better, but better more people think it is than don't. If you can't, you suck at writing.

Ideas are also important, so you need to know how to take and use them. Every time you have an idea, take it as far as you possibly can. Keep it going until it just runs out of any momentum whatsoever. Do that more and more, and you will get better at turning ideas into concepts, and for some reason you will also have more ideas.

An editor exists if you have poor writing in the literacy sense. They cannot help a writing style that is shit. If your style is shit get a new one. I don't care that you like your style, too bad. If it's shit it's shit and if it's shit it can't be redeemed. Don't copy someone else's style because you WILL do it worse and nobody will buy yours when they can buy theirs. If you think you can write like Pratchett or Adams shut the fuck up because you fucking well can't. Just because their styles are simple does not mean they are easy to copy, they are the results of a significant natural talent combined with shitloads of experience and a natural writing style and you have none of these.

Publishers exist to make your book more saleable. They are not there to make it better unless making it better will make it sell more, and it usually won't. If you're in it for the money listen to your publisher but be careful because when you change your style to cater for sales you'll lose your entire audience because that style is what made them read your stuff in the first place. If you're in it to write well ignore them. Remember that by publisher standards Twilight is one of the best fucking books ever.

>>17083993

And playing left field, Dr. Baron von Evilsatan

You and the sagefag would have gotten along so well, since you seem to have similar though processes.

Hmmm.

Also, dead thread is dead. Not only did this thread get derailed a while ago, but both of your posts of long-winded bitterness and pseudo-intellect just drove it further off track.

>>17084005
>Twilight is one of the best fucking books ever.

troll.

>>17084185

Read the fucking sentence, not part of it.

>>17084148

I'm all for good ideas being made into good things. That's where I get my hatred of shit from. The thousands of fucking shit ideas polluting every sphere of social interaction get hit by someone with baseline competence and make something, and then someone who is a shit writer sees hundreds of things like that and doesn't realise that the only reason their idea hasn't blown the fuck out of the thousands of shit ideas with moderate execution is because they';re so intimidated by the execution that they never realise the core idea is fucking shit and that if they wrote, even at their talent level, it would be better.

If you have a decent idea start fucking writing instead of waiting for your idea to magically evolve into a novel or comic or manga or whateverthefuck. It will become obvious fucking fast unless you are a fuckhead whether or not your idea is of any worth whatsoever because your writing will get better every time if you have good ideas and won't stop but if you have shit ideas your writing won't improve for long or very much.

These threads are of value because once every four or five threads one idea of real merit comes along and I can yell at the person to learn to fucking write so the idea stands a chance of going somewhere instead of sitting in the shitpits of atrocious ideas most people have all the time and everyone has most of the time.

Lets see your original idea, O great writer Evilsatan

They aren't good enough yet. I have good ideas because first I have a fucking shitload of ideas because that's just the way my brain works, and secondly because every time I see one of them that might be something I take it and work with it until it stops to see if it has any merit. Then I work with it until it's finished, which will probably never happen because I don't have the time to finish any one idea because I waste so much of my time on useless shit.

I don't post my original ideas until they're done because I have needlessly high standards for my own stuff. I'm willing to toss around help to people who don't, becaue making ideas better is always worthwhile, but I'm not going to post things myself until they're as good as I can make them.

More to the point I'm not working on anything /a/ at the moment.
