Share an idea or synopsis for an anime that just hasn't been made yet, but one you'd really like to see.
If you don't have one, list the facets of your perfect anime.


My idea:
First person perspective, stream of consciousness (you see through her eyes, and hear her thoughts):
An incredibly kind girl was born disfigured in some appreciable way. Teased by people and bullied by classmates all her life, but she always manages to smile. Parents are high-ranking members of society, who clearly regret having to take care of such an abomination, and treat her as such. But the girl still loves them.

One day, promising to spend the day with her, the mother takes the girl far away to the woods. The girl loses sight of her mother, hears the car, and runs only to watch her mother drive off. (You later find out that the parents flee the country.) She's confused, but still purehearted enough to believe that her mother will return, that maybe it's part of another game, so she spends her nights in that exact spot. Terrorized by the woods, the animals, the darkness of night that hides what's lurking behind every tree, every movement, every sound. Hungry. Slowly the girl realizes her abandonment, and she snaps. Her memories flood with every incident of ridicule she's had to suffer all her life. From this point on, these memories become a sporadic torment. All the rage and mortification she's bottled up all her life, finally uncorked.

Cut four years later, the girl a grown teenager. Living in forests and caves has made her tough and vicious. She found her way to her home city (a large city), and seeks out each person tormenting her memories. No, she doesn't kill them: she stuns, restrains, and proceeds to disfigure them in some non-life-threatening way. A screwed up face, a missing ear, a blade to one eye, The Joker smile, scissors cutting off a woman's clitoris... each mutilation is shown raw and uncut, with the girl's twisted thoughts omniscient to the viewer. She enjoys watching her victims cope with the way society treats them post-disfigurement. Content in not bearing it alone anymore.

One night, in the home of her next victim, she notices the TV on. Her parents are on the news, their location clear from the news story. Her mother cradles a baby — a perfectly normal baby. They're happy. The girl leaves the house, face drenched in tears, but smirking.

Her final hunt begins.


Oh, and for example, if I didn't have an idea like the above, I could post something like the following — the elements of my perfect anime:

Armored Core 4 being a 26 episode anime and For Answer being split into theatrial releases like Break Blade.

The themes would be the same as in the game: "A revolutionairy musical", "What a person is willing to sacrifice and fight for", and "Corporate warfare on a grandscale". The music would be remixes of the game with the ED being Kota Hoshino's Reprise version of Thinker.

Also, it'd be animated by both Studio i.G. and Ufotable.

It would be epic. Anjou and Berlioz animated? HUGE fanboy squeal.

Okay.
I want there to be an anime that mixes comedy and horror but isn't completely cliche.
Also another zombie anime. HOTD was good but just too much fanservice.

Then I want another vampire anime but I want a little yaoi with that, too :3

Then I want something like the t.v. show "Skins" but as an anime! I would be so ridiculously happpy! That show is so....honest! Me gusta :{D

My dream anime is to find one where the girl is completely alone. Not like in AnoHana where she can still be seen (not that I have anything against AnoHana) but one where there's a girl that for sure exists but never has anyone, is always alone and left out. The closest I've gotten to this connection is Fuko Ibuki from Clannad and it's one of the reasons I love her so much.

I'd like the anime to center mostly on the girl and her feelings. What goes through her mind when she's alone. When people do talk to her how she feels. Her struggling to make it through all of this and find a way out. All on her own.

I'm sure it'd be a pretty boring anime. Think about it, all of it centering mostly on one girl? But I think it'd also be cool to look at the perspectives of the people around her. How they don't notice her. How she tries things to see if they'll notice that she's hurt or in pain. To have her sit there speechless for a period of time without the friends behind her even bothering to ask her what's wrong. I'd want an anime that explores all of that, and how it makes the girl feel about herself.

If she was to simply sit there, thinking, what would she think about? All of the things that had gone wrong in her life? The things she said? The things she should've said? Her past relationships and friendships gone wrong? You see, that girl will want to speak out to everyone, to be involved, but she's afraid that she'll be annoying. She's afraid because she's always alone. And when she's alone she comes up with these scenarios. It's a vicious circle.

How does the girl finally make it out of this cycle? How does she find her own self-confidence and way to reach out to the people she swore she hated? Well, I'm not too sure. Let's say the girl took all of her feelings and put it into one thing. A video, perhaps. The girl wastes her hours on the computer, editing and trying to get better, and one day, she finds the perfect song with the perfect clips and uses that to pour out her heart.

And when she does do that, it feels like things have been lifted. Like after all of that time, the years from her 2nd to her 8th of being alone have been put into one small minute video that wasn't even all that great. The girl finds herself one day socializing with the people she'd hide her face from. She finds herself talking to the girl who she resented yesterday. All she had to do was let someone know how she felt. Someone who was willing to listen.

So, I let out everything I felt into one video, and now, I'm not so alone anymore.

Damn that was long.
Dont touch me I'm in despair.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers the show "LOST", but it was about these people that crash landed on a really mysterious island. It had a lot of surrealism in it, and had to do with the supernatural at some parts.

I honestly think it could be a good anime, a good mystery/suspense type thing.

Extend the episode count to 200, start from Crisis Core then proceed to FF7 (original) and then go all the way to the "On the way to a smile" novels. Throw in a cliff hanger with Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo at the end of the series. (To be continued in Advent Children)

Liar game + Battle royale.

Survival game of a big group of people (like battle royale), but instead of just killing each other to win, it's decided by several games and gambles using inteligence and tactics to win. No cheating like kaiji, everything must follow the rules of the games. (like liar game)

It could have some drama and romance.

Overall likeable characters, good villians and no simply a one-sided game.

Yeah, something like that.

That sounds AMAZING.

I'd like something with thriller, suspense, angst, adventure, romance that ACTUALLY happens, and amazingly-well written characters who are unique, VERY smart, and interesting to watch. And with a conspiracy-ish plot. I think leads with the charisma that Okabe and Kurisu (Steins;Gate) have, and a story that is Higashi no Eden-esque (but without the confusing plot holes). And it's those two against the world - they're running away from something.

Yuri harem with a cute youthful acting and looking mother as the harem protagonist and a harem of 4 or more daughters both blood related and some adopted, with a ton of ecchi and comedy as well. It will have 26 episodes and will air on AT-X only for TV and will have a webcast that are both 99% uncensored. The DVD/BDs will be sold as a boxset only. There would be an extra OVA inside the boxset that would be an erotic fashion shoot and runway episode filled with more nudity than the TV series, and a standalone Hentai OVA release with hardcore sex scenes.

An anime (preferably more than one) following the Ace Attorney series. Like one series for each game. I mean jeez, who doesn't want some lawyer action, screaming and pointing at each other across courtrooms. Seriously though, I've loved the series and the characters and I can only hope the games can continue to release more.

Gimme a good director, one that'll follow the general plot but not be afraid to spice it up and leave out the stuff that needs to be left out. (honestly I can't think of anything, but hey, they kinda have to do it)

A decent art style, matching voice actors. Remaking the original OST or creating a whole new set would be just lovely.

Honestly though, I'd hope it'd be OUT of chronological order. Don't get me wrong, I love the first game.. but it just wouldn't make that great of a first impression in my opinion. I'd like to see Apollo's story get the limelight before Phoenix- poor guy had a great story but nobody seemed to like it.

I would like to see a good show that deals with several aspects of growing up. I'd like it to be very episodic where we follow the struggles of several adolescents (that somehow are related to each other). The situations and struggles have to be realistic and somewhat recognizable, but not for the art. The artwork has to be extremely artistic, where it's sometimes extremely psychedelic and sometimes really sober and simplistic, depending on the given situation. It has to feel very unique and expressionistic. There would be a lot of symbolism used that will keep you thinking. In the end all of the episodic things will somehow connect and everything will make sense and you get that satisfying 'heck yeah I've solved the puzzle' feeling.

Too many ideas are in my head, but I'll say one. XD

Genre: Drama

Story: A young middle school girl, with short brown hair, has only one best friend. She has very few other friends, but her best friend is the most special to her. Whenever it's her birthday, she always invites her best friend, but since her best friend's parents have recently been starting to hate her parents and herself (reason isn't known yet), she didn't invite her. Then, when her best friend found out that she didn't invite her, she got really angry at her (her best friend never knew that her parents hate the other's parents and her (main girl)). Her best friend meets with her one day, and yells at her. She put a gun in her mouth, shoots and killed herself. The main girl hugged her tightly and cried a lot, and that was the last time she ever saw her. Later, she goes to high school, and doesn't smile at all. Then, she meets a new student about the same age as her. The student is a very kind but shy person, who isn't very talkative.
(Wow, long explanation. Although I could've explained it a bit better ^^")

Art: Don't really care as long as the art is very beautiful (almost like HOTD).

And the main girl's high school class has mostly boys in it. I would like the story tear-jerking like Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 or Clannad. (I'm a nerd for Drama. XD)

That's all.

I liked the idea of madoka magica where you have it appear to be your average generic anime and then it suddenly deviates from that, surprising the audience. Instead of having your stereotyped magical girl turn into a more realistic dark anime, I imagine this:

Since I enjoy the character archetypes that I find in anime (specifically in harems), I would love to see a yandere such as the ever-popular Gasai Yuno become the main character of what seems to be a romantic comedy/ shoujo. At the very beginning you have her shown as a shy and innocent girl that wants to find love and as soon as she meets the bishie in focus, slowly her dark side seeps out. And the yandere's friend would be a short tsundere from a foreign rich family.

It would either be a comedic style where you parody anime cliches or it can be all-out serious anime with bloodshed, containing mysteries that unfolded into something you would never expect like time loops.

If it was a comedy I could just imagine the yandere going to the tsundere's home everyday and both of them trying to think of some plans to get closer to her target.

I would love to see how this would unravel.

Genre: romance, drama, comedy, school life, slice of life, ecchi etc ...

The main female character would be a girl, around 15, 16 years old, non Japanese. She would be living with her mum in her home country, but then her mum would met a guy from Tokyo, who is studying abroad. After 2 years they all would move to Japan (due to guys daughter, who was living in Hokaido with her grandparents). A girl would go to high school, meet a boy (main male character) and would be very interested in Japanese culture, including manga & anime industry. The girl and the boy would fall in love, but get eventually seperated due to boys moving to another country. After few years he would came back, trying to find her. He is suprised, cuz' she's now a famous mangaka and voice actress. Then they are trying to "manage" their personal life with work.

Something like that... :DD

My dream anime would be a deconstruction harem(not moe) that stars a night club singer, an exotic dancer, an independent yakuza princess living on her own, a badass sukeban, and a jilted mistress of a early 30's college professor, the young women range in ages 17-24 and all live in an apartment complex with a gorgeous stud who is quite similar to City Hunter's Ryo Saeba who is their apartment manager. He often helps each of the young women with their problems, although the sukeban tends to keep her feelings to herself. With him being the typical guy he is, having five hot and gorgeous young women as tenants, he often fantasizes about them at the bathhouse and the like.

Genre: Action, maybe adventure. Probably will be shounen to some.

Setting: Not exactly like it, but like the recent movie Avatar's setting. Vast, otherworldly... but able to be explored so much.

This anime is with a youngster with the age of 14 starting out to be poor at something, preferably magic or martial arts, but she really wants to be good at it. As she learns with learning with teachers, students and the such, she grows (with the actual facets - physical, mental, emotional...).

Can't think of anything else, but I'll allow a sequel to it with an afterstory.

Ummm, a shounen anime where the main characters ACTUALLY have a romance. xDD (aka: kiss scene xDD)

-Boy and girl grew up together

- they get cockblocked many times when it comes to romance

-sweet, caring, overprotective guy, that can be really rude + mean sometimes but he can only show his true nice/kind side to the main girl. *fangirlism xDD*

-cute, sweet girl that can is shy and quiet sometimes. And she ISNT weak.

-*ADDS SHOUNEN + ACTION to the plot* xDD

-and it has a perfect beautiful ending like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. o_o

But only in my dreams.. xD

-fails when it comes to thinking of god plots*

Political war drama. Either fantasy/scifi settings like WH40K (Horus Heresy and Badab War especially) or historical ones, but if so, then preferably something unusual that you don't see all the time.

Necessary elements:

- Huge cast, with everyone being as realistic as possible, so no cheap ass black and white morality, and at least the most important characters should have proper multi-layered personalities. Naturally, 12 year catgirls or what have you are banned from here altogether. Similarly, most child soldiers should be consistently butchered due to inexperience and lack of training rather than actually winning for some nebulous reason. Obviously, the cast will be made primarily of people into their twenties and beyond.
And bonus points if naive, hot blooded idealists gets crushed and grinded down by the uncaring cogs of reality.

- Bloody huge battles, full of action, with either explosions or gory decapitations depending on the technology level of the setting. But most importantly, none of these pants-on-head retarded super imba prototype mechas or demigod swordsmen that can turn the tide of the battle by themselves. Battles should obviously be fought and won by a mix of strategy, tactics, resources and leadership/morale, not by a timely intervention of a exaggerated ace pilot (Gundam, I'm looking at you).
Making the battles actually look realistic is also a important point, so no standing around looking like an idiot waiting to be shot or childish bickering amongst allies in the middle of battle (Gundam AGE, I'm looking at you).

- No retarded speeches in battles. Kill or be killed. The odd taunts can be okay though.

- If in a scifi setting, consistent and in-universe realistic technology level. Meaning no bloody swords or crap in a scifi setting, unless they have a really good excuse, like WH40K or maybe Star Wars.

- As many twists and turns as possible, so long as it does not turn into a Geass-esque trainwreck of random crap.
Of course, big twists like major betrayals need to be realistic, so no Gundam style melodrama with characters randomly falling in love with the enemy and joining the other side.

- The ending can be either happy or sad, as long as it's kept to a certain degree of realism. No retarded ETERNAL HAPPINESS AND END OF ALL WAR DERP, people being revived or somesuch. Closure is fine, but not necessarily a must, several threads may be left loose so long as the main conflict is at least resolved.

-Really creative setting, audio/visually overstylized as shit with far more clever details than you could catch in one view, wacky or wildly charismatic characters, lots of room for speculation, unique sense of humor and/or very well-written plot. Consistent themes and general meaningfulness would be nice, too.

-An action/mystery series about a town filled with urban legends and ghost stories. You'd have ghost/human duos fighting for...something, where the ghosts have weird battles among each other while their partners fuel them by spreading horrible rumors about them. Gets more surreal and gruesome as it goes along, even on the human front. Should maybe include a twisted romance or three.

-An OVA with zero plot, just scenery porn and maybe some bite-sized fragments of people's lives. Some surrealism or a fantasy setting could help. Like an ambient anime, basically.

-Another one of these "throw some psychopaths into a city, see what happens" stories by Narita.

-Victorian K-On! or something like that. With sickeningly elegant ladies playing in a string quartet. 100% unadulterated "Ara, ara".

That's... eerily intriguing. Definitely fresh, at least.

Given nothing else but a vast and super-detailed setting, I'd be halfway to cloud nine.
"scenery porn", as you say.

I feel like this is EXACTLY what you were asking for: Genius Party Beyond's Dimension Bomb.
An AMV to pique your visual interest:

This anime is with a youngster with the age of 14 starting out to be poor at something, preferably magic or martial arts, but she really wants to be good at it. As she learns with learning with teachers, students and the such, she grows (with the actual facets - physical, mental, emotional...).
Yes! I love character evolution titles. Give me anything with this one facet, and I'm almost sure to like it. Probably why I so doggedly enjoy anything that features competitive play, even if I don't enjoy watching the sport in reality (i.e. baseball), because they almost always have character evolution.

Well i had an Idea, goes from way before Another anime (pointed this out, just so I don't get comments like, you copycat....)

So it is fairly similar, yet different...

This is how it goes.

Genre: Thriller, Horror, Mystery, Supernatural and little romance.


Synopsis:

17 year old boy transfers to a school in a small town after he witnessed his parents getting killed by some unknown man. Ever since he had nightmares, but since he moved to this town it changed. Now he dreams how he follows a girl trough the forest, he trips over a rock, gets up, just to find that he is on some kind of clearance in the forest. All of the sudden strange figures wearing mask with sad-anger motives come out of the wood and take him underground. Then he finds out that he will go to a class where everyone is strange and excellent at school. Everybody ignores him. Then he will befriend a girl who will reveal him a terrifying secret. Two years ago a student from their class disappeared and nobody knows what happened. First he will not believe it but he will notice a change in behavior of his classmates. He decides to investigate and finds out that there really was a girl who disappeared. Closer he gets to the truth, the stranger his classmates get. Even his only friend wasn't honest with him. Last two episodes: Great chase trough the forest (that tripping moment I mentioned earlier is very important), he finds out the truth. But not without consequences. His friend will get shot (by whom I will not say), he gets hurt again (mentally and physically)...

I would like Jun Maeda to compose music for mu anime. Length would be just right, so it can show every element and explain everything.

So far Another is similar but it will not be the same.

Something with Horror, Mystery and Psychological for sure, while it would involve certain action scenes with a lot of brutality (not censored in any kind, but also not overly gory) included. It would keep the suspense and mystery at amazingly high levels at the beginning, something like Another is doing, then we would be learning more and more about the story, but to every answer you got, you could find a couple more questions.

Ehh, there is really a lot. I wonder why I wrote such a big thing. Maybe I'll write this down and actually write a story with it one day. The story requires a lot of more thinking, this is just the raw idea.
