What would your ideal anime look like?

It would basically be Pokémon, except more incestuous subtext, then it would be perfect.

It would look like a combination of: (will be further expanded, but not in this post, as I watch more anime)

1. Angel Blade *I completed it yesterday. Seriously the best fucking Hentai in existence. Going to watch the sequel (Angel Blade Punish!) soon.

2. Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge

3. School Days *I erased my progress on a number of anime because I have to watch them again for MBTI. My ideal anime would include an adaptation of EVERY Visual Novel that ends with Days. (School Days, Shiny/Summer Days, Cross Days, Island Days, and Strip Battle Days, 2.)

4. Seikon no Qwaser



5. ViVid Strike! (AND Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha ViVid)

6. Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi

7. Metal Fighter Miku

8. Kakutou Bijin Wulong

9. Ikkitousen

10. Ayane-chan High Kick!


^So, my personal favorite martial arts series.



I would want an anime that mixes ALL of those together and every character from each engages in the events from all of them. I will figure out a way to do that.

And this doesn't even include manga and manhwa that should be animated.

Hasn't this thread been done before?
My ideal anime would be an isekai, where the fantasy world is based off of Feudal Japan, except the main character transported there is a black woman. So when she arrives in the fantasy world, everyone treats her like an abomination. She's tasked with saving the world if she wants to get back to her own world, by a super power being. Unfortunately, like Subaru, she's incredibly weak, so she often gets the utter shit beaten out of her. She does get stronger, but not OP strong, having to fight opponents that are WAY stronger than her.
The nihilistic and hopeless tone would resemble Dark Souls, with a feeling of brutality and rage like Berserk. However, there'd be some episodic stories with a sweet and magical tone like Mushishi and Natsume's Book of Friends.
The black woman in the beginning is a very extroverted, cheerful woman. However, after getting transported into the fantasy world, being treated like shit, constantly beaten, she becomes much angrier and cold. But as she journeys, she gets her own party of friends, who help her become a more positive person again.
The aesthetics would resemble the Berserk manga, but of course, it wouldn't look as high quality.

Add KyoAni level of production to Konohana Kitan and it would be my absolute ideal anime.

For me, it would be a story with a male MC who's not a teenage Japanese boy but a black or someone of African or African-American descent raised and brought up in modern-day Japan since he was a very small kid. He would have an Osananajimi girl who's Japanese and we can see some harem+interracial romance/romcom in it.

I'd probably be so euphoric and happy if such an anime would be made. But realistically speaking, the chances of Japs making such an anime or LN would be extremely low ? Can't anyone in the States do what the Japanese won't and make an anime like that with Moe cute art style ?

Lol, I was actually thinking about that yesterday.
Basically, I would take the best "ingredients" that can already be found in other animes:

- First of all, I would want KyoAni to make it. It's the only studio to make a consistantly great animation. The others are too irregular.
Ufotable makes great action scenes, but when there's no action the animation is too lacking (way too still most of the time).
Madhouse is always praised for One Punch Man and Death Note, but everyone forgets they also did other stuff (like... Chaos;Head).
(Of course I'm not shitting on those studio, or any others ; but I would definitely choose KyoAni for my ideal anime).

- I would want it to make me feel something strong, so obviously I would want Key Studio involved in the story.

- Despite all its flaws, I always found Bleach had a cast full of awesome characters. They're badass, charismatic and fun. Also, I always liked the pretty mature chara-design. So basically, I would like Tite Kubo to make the characters (but I would leave someone else write their stories xD).

- About the visuals, I don't mind the colorful anime style, but I would like it to be discreet. For example, I think Hibike Euphonium has a great visual atmosphere: it feels "realistic" (not too bright, not too dark) despite the characters' green hair and golden eyes.

- Kajiura Yuki should be the composer, that's a no brainer. If Key Studio is involved, I wouldn't mind them making the OST as well (especially the songs).

- As for the seiyuus, anyone would do. Most of the time the seiyuus make a great job. Although, many people complain when they hear a famous voice, so maybe we should engage new talents that aren't widely known in the industry.

- The world must make the viewer want to go there. A fantasy world like Pokemon would definitely be perfect with proper storytelling, but I think even a "normal" world can be appealing.

- In terms of story, I won't give specifics. I'm open to everything, really. I only have a few conditions:
1) A lot must happen in the story. I'm not saying it should go as fast as possible, but I just want the viewer to feel like it was a ride worth of their time.
2) As a consequence, I would want an anime with at least 40 episodes. Around 50, that's the ideal length in my opinion. More than that often winds up stretched (they either make the story slower than needed, or put fillers).
3) Of course, a relatively long anime can wind up boring, so the story shouldn't be too long to start. Death Note, for example, makes a great job at booting the entire story in 2 episodes.
4) We should avoid inconsistencies as much as possible. Of course, as long as we use supernatural elements it can't be 100% coherent, but at the very least, the characters' decisions and the way the events unfold should be believable.

- I would want it to be mature. By that, I don't mean "with gory and sexual stuff", I don't care about any of those. I want it to feel adult, like Clannad After Story. Without graphic scenes, without sex, After Story managed to be adult (in regard to the stories it tells), and it's so rare in that medium...
Basically, I want to have adult characters instead of the usual teenagers.

- Finally, I love it when the story makes me think. I want to learn something from it. I would want the viewer to feel like they understood the meaning of Life after watching it xD.


I think that's pretty much it xD. どう 思う? 凄いでしょう ?

For me, it would be an isekai with an excellent job of world building, but not just with fights and characterisation. I'm talking economic and political world building. How will the characters trade, govern themselves and keep order. Log Horizon was the closest thing to the perfect isekai in my opinion because of this. It would also have a harem that would kind of blue ball us for a long time, similar to Bokuben where all the girls have a chance. Each girl would have a legit reason for liking the MC and would receive dedicated characterisation. They would all serve a purpose.

There would be now wasted space or concepts, everything introduced would be plot relevant and move the story further. The pacing would be just right, not too fast like Aincrad skipping all 100 floors, but not something incredibly drawn out like Fairy Tail. The series would also deal with serious emotional and mental issues like Koe No Katachi. So in a way, my ideal series is SAO Progressive mixed with Log Horizon, Tate No Yuusha, Mushoku tensei and Koe no Katachi. What about you?

I got a boner for all 3 episodes of Angel Blade, and Ayame's rape in episode 1 was hotter than ALL of Viper GTS. I only got a boner for episode 1 of Viper.

I'm using Carrera because she has the same MBTI as me. I analyze the personalities of the female characters in everything I watch. I can't use Shaiya from Angel Blade because she doesn't have official art that works for an avatar/signature.

A dark High fantasy anime set in Late Antiquity like period (Fall of Rome). I would like it to maybe focus on a young king of a Germanic/Celtic like people trying to ensure their survival against an Imperial State (similar to Rome), harsher and harsher winters and an impending doom from the East while trying to assert himself as king with help from his group of friends (could have various talents and personalities)

Ideal Studio? Maybe WIT (work on Vinland has been pretty good in cases/the background team especially). Yukimura's art style is something similar to what I would like. (Vinland Saga/Planetes)

Also honestly I would love to see an anime about anything 40k (honestly just want well animated stuff for that franchise in general it's so under-utilized). Or just more historic settings from Ancient Antiquity up to the Cold War. Don't care where it's set could be action slice of life. I like to give any historical story the time of day.

I want an anime that sets in after apocalyptic world, where there are two main characters just live each day of their lives like their last. There's already an light novel very similar to it but I want more

Issmail22Lawfy said:
One piece but with Ufotable animation but with the same voice actors and the same OP/ED/OST of the original version.
Angel beats with a better artstyle
Konosuba without megumin lol

"hasn't literally every question been done before in some way or another in the distant past or distant future?"
Completely irrelevant to my question. Your statement is far too broad, lacks specific context, and does not relate to my question.
I do not care about the other contexts. That is not what my question relates to. I do not think it is okay to make a thread on a site that's already been made before. If I recall, the mods are supposed to lock any threads that are rehashes of another thread, but they're absolutely worthless at their job, because they're lazy and/or are as much troubled and disturbed as the many people on MAL.

Again, your comment is absolutely worthless: just like Yarub's "arguments", but even more. All you're saying here is, "it's relevant". How? Just like most MAL users, you want to argue for the sake of arguing.
