When Raita's sketch for a crippled girls eroge was posted and we fell in love with it, 4LS delivered a fucking eroge.

When the plot for an anime got posted and we fell in love with it, this faggot delivered a shit-tier light novel instead.

How do we find our way?

What was that really well animated trailer for it? I remember seeing it, but lost it again. Or was it just a random uni project with Keitai edited on afterwards?

It's not an existing work though.

>>135305846
>A boy? A girl?
It's not just a boy.
It's a boy that falls in love with a girl, and unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

I put off reading this shit before and I regret not maintaining that. Just reading that first chapter was a terrible experience through and through now that I decided to see what this shit was about.

Why would anyone ever want to watch this?
How the hell can someone relate to a main character with those traits and that position in society?
Does this actually somehow get better later? Is that even possible?
What would the point of getting this made into an anime be?

Also

>>135299932
Just wait for the maid to clean off the casting couch

>>135305911
But there's no original character in that boy or that girl. They have no defined characteristics.

Your definition here >>135305815 presents a loophole that allows authors to make derivative works out of this concept without actually being just fan fiction.

And then they're further developed throughout the story as boy and alternate girl give eachother tips on how to win the hearts of their alternate selves. There's a clear plot, clear characters involved. What more do you want.

Ergo, it's just fan-fiction.

You must have never read an LN, then.

>>135306237
>works
Define work. And explain why the original copypasta is not work.

>vague concepts
It's not a vague concept, the pasta tells a concise story, even if it's open ended.

>>135306209
But that's enough to establish them as definable and separated from any other character. We have specific traits about them, that's all we need.

>>135306237
The concept is pretty fleshed out, wouldn't call it vague.

>>135306240
>copyrighted
>implying this matters at all

That's what the definition is describing, though.

>>135306298
No it's not. If it was, it'd use the word "copyright".

>>135306209
>They have no names, personalities, or even appearances
This doesn't matter as long as you can tell those character apart from others.
There are many well-established stories without named characters, or characters we don't know how they look like, or even characters without clear personalities.

>>135306279
>>135306280
Fan fiction refers to published works, though.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fanfic

noun, Informal.
1.
fiction written by fans of a TV series, movie, etc., using existing characters and situations to develop new plots.
2.
a work of fiction in this genre.

Legitimate question. Why do you retards love this Keit-ai meme?
It's not funny and in no way good, but you keep spamming the board with it.

>>135306298

>a fictional account written by a fan of a show, movie, book, or video game to explore themes and ideas that will not or cannot be explored via the originating medium; also written fan fiction, also called fanfic

Because all of the examples cited for fanfic are published existing works.

>>135306347
That definition doesn't say "published", and "etc." is vague enough that it could include a widely popular and known copypasta on an Indonesian interpretive dancing forum.

>>135306366
How does any of that translate into "copyrighted" in the slightest.

>>135306385
>It doesn't say "published", so no.

The TV, movies, etc. part covers that. Thanks for having the reading comprehension of a child.

>>135306453

>>135306453
That's not how burden of proof works. The burden of proof is on you to show fanfiction of non-copyrighted works being considered as fanfiction since you're the one making that claim.

>>135306414
>The TV, movies, etc. part covers that
Where?
"Movie" doesn't imply it's a copyrighted or published movie, and the "etc" is a huge open end that could include whatever the fuck could serve as inspiration for the fanfic.

>etc.
Do you not know what "etc." means?

>>135306424
That would make it into every other generic harem out there.

Oh, the "published" argument is bullshit anyway, since one can argue that the keitai copypasta is indeed "published"

The copypasta falls under all the following definitions of the word:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/publish
>to issue (printed or otherwise reproduced textual or graphic material, computer software, etc.) for sale or distribution to the public.
>to submit (content) online, as to a message board or blog
>to make publicly or generally known.

Keit-Ai is memier than Denwa-Koi.

Keit-Ai is also impossible to write in Japanese.

>>135308184

>>135308191
the meme value in Denwa-Koi lies in the reference to kyon's imouto infamous sentence: Kyon kun denwa!

What is "Your Name" really about?

inb4 a boy falls in love with a girl

>>135305267

This is pretty poorly written to be honest, not awful but pretty bad.

>>135308692
Oh really? Summarize the story for me.

>>135308692
It's obvious that the writer is an amateur, cut him some slack.
The major issue is that the characters are not believable or relatable at all, which is a major flaw in a love story.

>>135308726

Permavirgin falls in love with a 6 foot giantess, each of whom had a childhood friend in the mix, and the plot rolls from there. I didn't read the whole thing, but I read enough to know that from a technical standpoint the writing is pretty weak. Too many anime cliches translated into text form that just don't work.

>>135308737
I'm not trying to be a dick to the author, really I'm not, but if somebody's going to post that thing in every thread we need to be honest about the quality.

>>135308788

I have read enough to know that the main characters are nicknamed Cherry Boy and Amazon Queen, that the boy has a fujoshi childhood friend, and that the number mysteriously appears in his phone, among other things.

Face it, some people can have different opinions from you.

>>135308800
>Permavirgin falls in love with a 6 foot giantess, each of whom had a childhood friend in the mix, and the plot rolls from there

It sounds generic, not unrelatable.

>Too many anime cliches translated into text form that just don't work.

Like?

>>135308753
Unrealistic and sometimes even cliched personalities and reactions, some slight use of classic anime/manga character archetypes, poor character development, and inadequate dialogues/personalities/emotional response for the ages of the characters, sometimes being too childish and sometimes too mature.

>>135308857
>sometimes being too childish and sometimes too mature.

For instance?

>>135308849
>the main characters are nicknamed Cherry Boy and Amazon Queen, that the boy has a fujoshi childhood friend, and that the number mysteriously appears in his phone, among other things
Oh God it's worse than I thought.

>>135308851

Visual gags that don't work in text form, for example, the classic "punch a male character in response to being annoying".

I'm not the same anon who's talking about the characters, by the way.

I respect the author for trying, but he needs to work on his writing, and if you can't recognize that the writing isn't of high quality you really need to step away from the keyboard and pick up a real book.

>>135308910
>"punch a male character in response to being annoying".

That never actually happens in the story.

She slapped him, but she never punches him in humor.

>>135308932

I didn't say it was the MC, but it definitely happens to one of the other characters. I distinctly remember this.

>>135308849
> the number mysteriously appears in his phone
cmon bro it's obvious that he was gifted by a deus ex machina. agree with all the other points though, the parts about the "friend-zone" are especially cringe-worthy.

>>135308881
Literally Toradora.

>>135308932
It's like you didn't even read your own story

>>135308943
I think you're confusing this work with something else.

>>135308978
There's more than one Keit-Ai fanfic?

>>135308967
It's not my story though, but I have read it.

>>135309006
I think you're confusing some other story that isn't Keit-Ai altogether.

>>135308978

"His pleas came too late as he got floored by a roundhouse kick from Section 2B's resident karate champ... the karate club's captain, no less... her skirt fluttering so high that Tomoyuki had to avert his eyes in order to avoid seeing the brusque female's feminine undergarments."

First fucking chapter, now kindly fuck off anon.

>>135308910
>>135309039

Not the guy you're talking to, but how would you have approached it?

>>135299932
Go to IRC, DALnet, #keyproject

>>135309039
I don't see what's wrong with it.

>>135309039
I have no problem with that. Why doesn't it work for you?

>>135309073

This classic anime gag does not work in a text medium, because you can't fall back on cartoon physics to make it funny. No actual student is going to kick one of their classmates so hard that they get knocked to the floor unless they're actually in a full-blown fight, and so it yanks you right out of the story.

And like I said, if you can't see the problems here, you need to get off /a/ and read a book.

>>135309053

I have no idea how I would have written it, nor whether I would do a better job. Frankly, I don't think that the author's approach to the concept was the problem, that was fine. The problem lies in the execution.

>>135309115
>This classic anime gag does not work in a text medium, because you can't fall back on cartoon physics to make it funny.

You are aware this is a common occurrence in LN, right?

>>135309154
What about the execution is problematic for you?

>>135309166

I don't read LNs, but I'd find it just as shit there.

I don't want to sound like a prick, but you guys seriously need to read more real books if you think this is well written.

>>135309223
>I don't read LNs, but I'd find it just as shit there.

I guess you just hate anime, then.

>>135309200

The sentence structure and word choice in general, as well as the over-reliance on anime cliches and archetypes. You can tell that the story was written by somebody from a place like this thanks to the anime tropes and specific focus on anime - related interests leaking through.

It's better written, technically speaking, than most fanfiction, I'll give it that, but not quite well enough to be on the same level as a decent published work.

>>135309285
>You can tell that the story was written by somebody from a place like this

So Katawa Shoujo level writing?

>>135309249

Anon, did you not read my post about why the gag doesn't work in a *text* medium? While I do often find it cliche in anime, it doesn't pull me out of a show the same way because shows typically use exaggerated physics to ramp up the silliness and make the joke work.

Books, having inherently different strengths and weaknesses as a medium, can't approach storytelling the same way. Something that works in a book may not work in a show, and vice versa.

>>135309349
>Anon, did you not read my post about why the gag doesn't work in a *text* medium?

I see where you're coming from, but in LN that's a common occurence and not necessarily a "visual" gag.

>>135309386

I believe it, but it wouldn't work for me in an LN either. That's my personal take, of course, but it just feels like trying to copy-paste jokes from anime or even manga instead of playing to writing's strengths and avoiding the weaknesses.

>>135308737

Make a manga/webcomic or a light novel. It's the simplest way.

>>135309535

It's a pretty fantastic concept desu.

>>135309618

>>135309591
They made a fanfic and it sucks. Making an anime will only be worse unless it's by a pro.

We're going to get Tokyo Crystal Mew all over again unless we have actual animators to animate this.

>>135299932
do what KS did I suppose

Somebody would need to write a teleplay for a pilot. I assume in spite of its pretensions, Keit-Ai would be a work in English, so that would be the first step.

I am taking a screenwriting course next semester. The lady teaching it hasn't gotten any scripts published, but she did win the National Book Award like 30 years ago. It's a little pulpy, but maybe I'll try it.

>>135309648
I think we should start with aiming for a manga. Heck, we could probably crowdfund enough to commission a good writer and a good artist to create a couple chapters. To get the ball rolling. Aiming for an anime off the bat would be impossible because of how much it'd cost in terms of manpower.

>>135309648
If you can't handle just writing or comics, you definitely can't handle an anime. And what's with the guy who "totally didn't write the fanfiction" trying really hard to defend it?

>>135309700
>paying for writers
>paying for artists

Aaaand dropped.

>>135309740
Why.

>>135309633
It is. And it was a good joke back when it wasn't being repeated every single day.

Honestly though Keit-ai would be better than any kind of romance anime that came out in these 10 years barring maybe one or two. I mean I can't even remember when was the last time I've watched something that was not Hana Yori Dango 2.0: Adjusted for 201x Edition with a twist.

>>135309732
Not everyone who disagrees with you is the writer, anon.

Mods, nuke this thread already

>>135309700

There's no way in Hell that'd get anywhere unless one of you actually knew how to use money, and I imagine such a person would never bother with such a bad idea in the first place.

>>135309700

All we have is the stupid copypasta, it's a good concept but it's not that hard to take a good idea and fuck it up down the shitter.

Go back to Reddit.

The only way to kill this meme is to make the anime.

No matter how terrible it will come out. Actually, the more terrible the better.

>>135309700
>crowdfund

Stopped reading there.

I liked it better when it was called Ghost Slide.

>>135299932
I wish Keit-ai retards would just stop forcing this stupid shit.

It can't even be spelled like that.
It's a Japanese word and it's kei-tai.
You can't have Keit, the only way of wrtiting it down would be Keito, but then it doesn't even make sense when you're trying to make a put out of a Japanese word.
So if it's supposed to be an anime, but you can't even write the title down in Japanse without it sounding retarded and losing all meaning, it's not gonna happen, ever.

Start with picking a better name.

>>135309822
But not done in anime so it might be refreshing. It is a teen romcom.

>>135309858
You're right, still it might shine in the hands of a good staff. Better than stupid copy-paste scenarios we've been seeing for this decade.

>>135310117
Didn't even read the fanfic, would not have written a fanfic as well because I'm smart enough to know >>135309858 is right and it's pretty much stupid to write without proper skill. You have to accept it's a good concept though.

It shouldn't be a problem finding writers considering Keit-ai is a well know meme right now. Probably every person that would be willing to help thought about it for a second. I could try writing something, but only when we have a proper evaluation process, I don't wanna rush in and spend time on it when there's no chance of it happening. We should first see who's eager to help Keit-ai find a way.

>>135314835
Will there be only one heroine? I haven't read the fanfic, I'll only read it if people decide to use that as a base.
I was thinking about a childhood friend that wants MC to stop with the bullshit because she doesn't want him to get hurt, and maybe some other girl that tries to help him and falls in love with him in the process.

>>135315006
I haven't read it either, but I don't believe it would serve as a good base. Judging by the fact one of the chapters is called "The Friend Zone Harem" you can say the author didn't really take it seriously.

I have nothing against multiple heroines, it could actually be kinda cool seeing how the AU girl helps the MC to score some other girl in his universe getting sad and depressed in the end.

If we're doing multiple endings, we should obviously include:

Main heroine route (Good end) - they both get their respective love interests
Childhood friend route
Some other girl in love with MC route
AU main heroine route (Normal end) - >>135305622
AU main heroine route (Good end) - unlockable after finishing the game with specific conditions, they fell in love but can't do anything about it
AU main heroine route (True end) - they make physical contact with each other and live happily ever after

But if we're doing the two other girls, we should make sure they stay deeply tied to the plot, otherwise it would look like a bad fanfic.

>>135305325
Thats pretty fucking based bro, you ever work on a video game?

>>135315752
We just gotta be careful with the true end, I cannot possibly fathom a believable way to make them meet that's also good.
I guess that will be heavily related with the reason they got each others phone number to begin with.
I want to see how the body swap thing will work in kimi no na wa, that could help with keit-ai a little.

>>135315958
Not professionally, but I fuck around with a friend that's a programmer every once in a while. I even coordinated a project on /3/ once, but those guys loose interest in things really fast, so it didn't go forward.

This would be the most dangerous part, but that's what makes me excited. We ain't just gonna let anything pass, so I believe we can expect many ideas pouring in to make it happen.

>I guess that will be heavily related with the reason they got each others phone number to begin with.
Yeah, that's why I thought it would work. He did get the phone number, so there's no saying it's impossible for them to meet.
