Pitch concept for a show

Harem anime, but the twist is is that the male sidekick character that gets slapstick'd a lot has been depressed the entire time and kills himself in the last two episodes, resulting in the harem falling apart because it's awkward and making the MC feel like shit.

/r9k/ the animation

>>152507169

I like it, almost like Princess Tutu did with ballet but in a more serious way is what you're going for. I think if it had some surreal humor it might help though. Kind of how Death Note was suspenseful but had minor things like writing in a notebook and eating chips really dramatic.

>Love story
>Boy confesses his love to his crush on the phone
>Crush says yes, boy is ecstatic
>The next day, his crush says she never got a call from him
>Who was phone?
>Turns out he called the alternate universe version of his crush
>His AU crush is in-love with his AU self
>They agree to help each other get together with their crushes and whatnot
>They fall for each other anyway

>>152507888
>Cross dimensional romance show
>Things are completely different in both their universes and they have to try and relate to each other even though the fundamentals of their realities are entirely different
Fund it

I think I read your pitch in another thread like this. The ending seems kind of anticlimactic. What if the alternate universe MC finds out what's going on and even though he likes the love interest of the AU he is autistic and finds a small, miniscule difference and fights to keep his universe's love interest?

>Anime airs in odd, low-viewer timeslot. No publicity.
>Supposedly recovered from the network archives and just restored to viewability.
>Made in 1975. Never aired due to unknown reasons.
>Typical period mecha show. Looks like it would fit in with any other 1975 show -- Mazinger, Jeeg, Raideen, etc.
>Animation, music, plot, everything.
>Just has one credit screen at the end with a few unknown names and the 1975 copyright.
>Studio appears to have only produced this one show. Research shows nothing on them.
>Happy, early 70s vibe. Even has an animal mascot.
>Nothing special.
>Episode by episode, animation would slightly improve, get more modern.
>Same with music.
>Plot would start getting odd. More reminiscent of complex, modern plots with developments that hadn't been seen in 70s anime.
>Also progressively darker. Edging beyond Tomino.
>Character designs are slightly changing.
>By episode 12, it's resembling a mix of Ideon and Votoms.
>By the next-to-last-episode, it's gone totally symbolic and resembles EoE.
>Music and production values are almost-impossibly modern, but still under 70s technology limitations
>Final episode without explanation goes back to episode 1 aesthetics. End card pays respect to the director: "He has suddenly disappeared. We miss you and want you back."
>The end.

Of course, the whole thing is contemporary found-footage genre made by a modern studio, but it would be interesting to see what kind of shitstorms it could produce.

Glorious if you did it over a longer season

>After solving the mystery the ghost confesses his love.

i want story about anti-hero MC thats kinda just screwing around or "play villain" for the story

here is my pitch

MC is a social outcast due to his interest in mysticism and philosophy. During a family reunion one Christmas, one of MC's uncles who was missing for years showed up. Shunned by his kin, he notices MC reading a book about the origins of the mystical traditions of Judeo-Christian religions. He soon approached him and pressed him more about his interest before revealing to him the true Gnosis. The power of magecraft out of sight of his other relatives. An astonished MC soon asked questions only to be met with a hush and a promise that he will enter a world of enchantment in due time.

Six months later, MC received a letter from the Westminster Academy, a school for training apperentice mages. Thus MC's journey into an enchanted realm begins, hidden from the world

Meanwhile however bigger schemes are planned and executed within the shadows as the Evangelical wing of the Anglican Church plans out a scheme to monopolize power and take over the Anglican Communion, effectively executing an anathema on magecraft and for Parliament to make such a penalty by the state, justifying a nationwide slaughter of mages across the United Kingdom and causing two connected but distant worlds into war
