Restarted by Mod's suggestion
Uh, yeah. Pretty much what the title suggests.
I've always thought the indie game Yume Nikki would make for a brilliant slice of mind rape, so I'd get permission from Kikiyama to make that. The game is about a young girl who explores her dreams, and experiences some seriously weird stuff. There's no official in-game explanation to what all the imagery means, and so - fans being fans - there have been a bunch of theories attempting to explain some of the content. This ranges from spoiler[the lead character being a rape victim], to spoiler[the entire game being a dream.] The game's ambiguity is one of its major draws for me; there's no actual meaning to the dreams apart from what people might want to impose upon it. Other than that, maybe an anime about the games industry, detailing Nintendo's history. Last edited by Shichimi on Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:54 pm; edited 1 time in total |

That's some mad imagination you got there man. Personally, I'd probably make an anime out of a novel or two I'm writing. For example, about a dude who's randomly, and wrongly accused of crazy ass crimes, gets locked up, then almost immediately released and forced to work for a benefactor who's practically the Devil to take back his life, piece by piece. Only to discover what he truly gained, and truly lost. Some deep shit. Of course, once my idea is pitched, it'll easily get tossed aside about a story of a young dude who finds a naked girl in his closed one day, but actually turns out to be a magical girl that has to sleep with him to save the world, and provide great merchandising opportunities such as revoltech figures that transform into action packed vibrators for real-life magical girls. |

Something with brutal realism, a lot of shock value, and delicious destruction of clichés (especially shounen, but not only). Maybe it would have to be censored before being shown on TV (ok, that's not a pre-requisite).
Just to screw with everyone, the next one would be a children's movie. How about a slice-of-life comedy series about an anime studio? (somehow I get the feeling it might have already been done) P.S. what's the anime with the trap and the reverse trap?.. |

I think an anime about the power of hate. It'll start of kinda like a typical power of friendship show, then end up with a major and seriously douchey betrayal by one of those friends. Then the protagonist becomes this twisted anti-friend who wields his hate and pain as a weapon to tear apart all close friendships. And the moral will be friends can't hurt you if their dead.
Or perhaps a show about rabbits. Anthropomorphic rabbits with a slight salting of fan service yet somehow not being moe at all. Have fun working out how that would work, I have no clue. |

Let's see. A Strike Witches mixed with Agent Aika, seasoned with some Najica Blitz Tactics, overlaid with IkkI Tousen and Tengo Tenge. Does that work for you?

^ I somewhat agree with the first one. I can't see how no one's sick of continuous blaring of all the love-peace-friendship ideas... that would be included in the crushing of clichés that I had mentioned. The trick is to make it believable, execute it with style, so that no one can say it's just a tasteless piece of hate-filled rubbish. Though perhaps I would not use hate per se - more like an anime with a "end justifies means" protagonist, and no pulling punches.
That's a really nice moral though, hah. Rabbits + fanservice = Cat Shit One (if you count guns and asplosions as fanservice though...)

Ide probally create an anime addaptaion of the manga i once sorta created. I wrote the first volume but i never drew it because im a terrible artist for the most part.
The tagline for the series would be something like this: "What if you woke up tommorow, and where someone completely different? What if that person you where now was everything you ever wanted to be? But then, what happens to the person you were?" The basic plot is that youve got two half-brothers (related by mother) living in the same house, who hate each other. One of them (the primary main character) is the studious and serious(and friendless) 3rd year highschool student, and his brother is a useless, lazy and perpertaully broke 20 something otaku. For circumstances that dot get explained until the very end, our studious highschool student gets transformed into a young girl (the gender change is, of course, for the lulz). So now the two characters previous lifestyles dont particularly work anymore, so they have to work together to get by. Of course, our once highschool student also gets a do-over at life.His previous lonely life sucked, he knows that, so he tries to do it right this time. Thing is, the more he becomes what he wanted to be, the less he is what he was. In the end, theres a choice: A) Give up all that you where, and become all that you are B) Remain as you were, and lose the opportunity to become something more. Its a tough choice. To lose your level of intellect, your memories, everything that made you who you where, for the chance to chase a dream you would never remember you had. |

I'd like to see an anime that's more on the comedy side, with a little fanservice and crossdressing moe that's purely for visual enjoyment, but also has an interesting story and cute romantic interactions related to traps. Princess Princess doesn't really fit that since it's crossdressing guys only. |

Weeeel I do kinda have this concept I occasionally roll around in my head I guess I will share it
Basically it revolves around a war in the far future. The solar system went Nova a millenium ago and manking has an established empire in space. War has also changed shape with the invention of specialized "shields" that make all but the most powerfull and focused ranged attack useless. This means mechanised armor and specialised techy swords to slice their way through enemy fields at close range where it is more effective. Combining this with psionics I planned to create a kind of space swords n sorcery feel to it. (No not like starwars swords may have glowing edges but absolutely no lightsabers are going to be involved) The plot would kick off during a battle with a new mysterious alien menace. I am planning on a 50 episoder and after an introduction to their "universe" the first 6 - 10 would be dealingwith this conflict. And establishing that the opponents used ranged weapons that warp space. Making their shields far less effective. Thus mirroring the problem faced by the samurai when guns first showed up on the battlefield. However this is not my final angle. The enemy are routed in the end but the human flagship gets hit with a huge space warping blast which reacts with it's protection field and sends it hurtling through dimensions. They spend about their next 10 episodes in their new dimension getting involved with the locals, making repairs. And figuring out how to perform "semi" stable dimension jumps. Although returning home for them will be a matter of trial and error. From then on it is kinda like the Odyssey it's the tale of a ship trying to get home through more weirdness and danger (2 - 6 episodes per dimension) than they ever thaught existed in the universe. They will have to adapt to changing situations. Overcome prejudice get involved with some very interesting local politics. For the alternate dimensions they travel to I am planning to draw from both eastern mysticism and the great Western rpg universes. A good example would be limbo described in the DND planescape universe. An unformed dimension where the tiniest thaught becomes real in a kind of quantum creational vacuum. That is just one Idea of course. And in the end they get home for a nice big happy ending. After using some kind of plot device alien/dimensional tech to stablise their drive and return home to turn the tide in the final battle for earth with their new found adaptability and emotional and mental maturity gained through their travels. As well as bringing the means to open up travel beyond their own universe to the human race. And thus leaving the possibility of a second series open. Maybe one that focuses on war and politics and continues the story of the ship through all the changes happening to their people. For comedy balance It would be included. However I want comedy to be minimal only turning up when it will have maximum impact. There will be sexiness and fanservice. But again it will be rare and confined not spread throught the series. The feel I wan't is that laughter and naughty bits are welcome but this is serious business. If that makes sense. Hows that sound to y'all ? =) |

Something akin to Venus Wars or Bubblegum Crisis, with a very 80s ultra-violent feel to it. Space pirates battling on the surface of Mars in small mecha that look like heaps of twisted metal instead of marketable toys, just tearing each other up, ripping off arms and legs, leaving people to die in a pool of their own blood and raiding their colony, pillaging and massacring for the pure thrill of it.
Just a really trashy, violent celebration of 80s sci-fi anime. Maybe you could class it up with some socio-political angles, human evolution, etc, but more likely it would be like a mecha version of The Expendables. |

^ all for that.
The manliest of space operas. It's like LoGH x Fist Of The North Star. Shields - what shields? Real men only need shields to get close to the enemy, and ram them. Just kidding, it sounds like an interesting concept, though you'd have to throw in great (and no less) machine designs, and unconventional characters to make it stand out. |

I suppose something along the lines Texhnolyze or anything that feels like it. I'm drawn to dark, brooding and philosophical anime with the message to convey. In fact I already have some ideas in mind, too bad nothing can be done. If I do get the opportunity, I'll definitely get around doing that. Actually there's not a story or the plot but I have an idea or at least know the stage it will be in.

I'm not good with coming up with ideas, but I have been mulling a few potential stories. An alternative Bleach timeline which split from the main line after Inoue got herself kidnapped but before Ichigo went to save her. I don't want to go into elaborate further, as it wouldn't make sense unless I write a half-dozen paragraphs, and probably not even then. I will say that I have expanded the world of Bleach quite a bit (let's just say that Japan isn't the only one with psychopomps), and that I've planned out at least twelve years of plot developments. Ichigo and Renji become captains, Zaraki learns Bankai after his weakness gets Yachiru killed (by Nel-Tu no less), and we learn how Unohana's Bankai is the most powerful of all (while still keeping with her theme of non-violence). Okay, I'll stop there. I know it comes across as a huge work of silly fan-fiction, but man it would have been a great Anime, much better than the original. Although, Bleach gets so horrid that isn't saying much.
A decent sequel to Gundam SEED Destiny. Three years after the show ended remnants of LOGOS smuggle a nuke into Orb and detonate it when Athrun and Cagalli are having an argument (they're finding married life more difficult than they expected. LOGOS also launches kinetic strikes against the PLANTS using stealthed balls of ore travelling at several percent light speed. Straight after, a fleet from the Moon which had been hidden in a mine goes out and starts mauling the ZAFT survivors. Lacus and her cronies all get violent horrible deaths where you see their bodies being disintegrated. A Gundam-type show (I've even worked out a backronym that makes sense) which is set four thousand years into the future. The show features a female mecha pilot, and a male leader of a group of Amish In Space who revere him as a prophet. I know it doesn't stand a snowflake's chance in a fiery hell of ever getting made, but I don't want to say anything else in case of spoiling it. I will say that I have pretty much got the whole thing planned out, including an awesome ending that pulls a Sixth Sense- or Fight-Club-style twist (actually, four of them, although two are just twists to the other two twists). I'm drawn to Mecha, good plotting, and people beating the tar out of one another instead of having episode-long flashbacks in the middle of the battle in silly attempts at engendering viewer sympathy for uninteresting villains. |

I would create an anime centered around the Warring States Era of Japan during the time of Nobunaga's rise to power, seinen in style but akin to what NHK Taiga Dramas are like, and it would be about two fictional clans that are fighting against each other, but another clan comes to claim both their terroritories and the two clans are put into a corner, and the lords of the two clans know they must become allies and one lord agrees to put his young daughter up as a hostage to the other clan, for marriage purposes to the other lord's son and heir and vice versa(BTW, for those who don't know, in Japanese history, especially during the time of the Sengoku Jidai, for a clan to take a hostage was a means to form an alliance between another clan.) , so the two clans exchange daughters and the two clans form an alliance and their power is expanded and become allies to Nobunaga later on. Things are uneasy at first for the two couples as their union was based first as a means to build power for their two respective clans, not actual love, but as years go by the two couples do grow close, but one couple's relationship becomes strained when the wife cannot conceive children and the husband takes on a mistress that does conceive. Eventually, a tragedy will ensue that will threaten the unity of the two main clans. So, I would keep everything as realistic as possible of how things were, so it would take an extensive knowledge of Japanese history to understand it.
