MC gets hit by a truck and transported to another world loosely based off of high fantasy shit and video game mechanics but it turns out he didn't really die, there was no truck, and he's just really really delusional and retarded. So every episode is just him doing dumb shit in public and random people's reaction to his extreme autism.

Alchemy, the magical art that changes the foundation of the world by mixing various ingredients together to create potions and elixirs of varying effects. It is an art long practiced since the ancient times, originally to create remedies and cures for afflictions one might have. Overtime the art was changed to include different style and mixes for various uses for: creative works, hunting and farming, and during war it was used to assassinate leaders of nations or give soldiers advantages they normally would never have.
In modern times, the art of Alchemy is well respected. Being an Alchemists stands as one of the top professions in the world and is an official study within academies of magic. Its abilities to have lead to a creation of a large market demand for Alchemists, with this large demand also comes scammers in potion making. Many kingdoms within the world have made state laws against potion making without permission and has assigned positions and titles to Alchemists who swear loyalty to the kingdom.
The Empire of Parsia, is a large state divided into two: Western Parsia, is a state dominated by order and war, the people there live in the glory of military might and conquest. Eastern Parsia is a state dominated by trade, culture, and the arts becoming a shining utopia of commerce.
The empire has a large standing within the world and earned its fame in potion making with its Alchemists, as it hosts the largest academy for them. After a Alchemists finishes their schooling within the Capital City of Parlacidonus they are given a state record as an official Alchemist and given permission to set up shop anywhere within the empire to perform their activities of potion making and selling.
The MC is an Alchemist who opens shop in a town that hasn't had an Alchemist in over 100 years and goes episodic adventures as their customers request different kind of potions for daily life

Harem in Battle High School where everyone is a stock archetype ripped off from other works and MC wins by friendship, love and hard work featuring cyclical tournament arcs where brackets are practically rigged for him to quickly stomp half of his opponents.
MC is knockoff Shirou
Tsundere/Tomboy is Another One you Baka.
Onee-Sama is Mahouka MC but nerfed
Childhood Guy Friend who is like a year younger for fujoshi dollar.
I thought this up in a total of 3 minutes.
A boy with harem problems meets a girl who wants to get rid of her own reverse harem. The two of them devise a plan to play Cupid and make the various archetypal harem fodder fall in love with each other, all the while the girl slowly falls in love with the boy.The boy develops a crush on the girl's sister instead

This would be great, especially if you threw some twists in there, like how he himself isn't all that benevolent or how those he deposes were actually holding things together.
It's time for catholic saints to get the SoL cute girl treatment.
Stereotypical sports anime about an after school powerlifting club, it's pretty homoerotic and everyone in the club is pretty autistic.
So basically /fit/ the anime.
a prosperous nation is invaded by hordes of savages that ruin everything, however the rulers of that nation claim that everything is ok, and the savages are the real victims
the protagonist used to believe the rulers, until she was attacked by the savages herself. her friends implore her to cover it up, despite them always saying that victims should speak up
she tells the authorities, but they do little, and the perpetrators get away, plus her friends are super mad and get her fired from her job with baseless accusations
having become destitute, she swears revenge on the rulers of her country for allowing that to happen

a guy starts a website. he struggles to pay the servers, and several times web hosters kick him out
nevertheless, he keeps the site up, despite the users always insulting him
eventually they find a picture of his girlfriend hugging another guy and call him a cuck
this hits a nerve and he throws a temper tantrum at the site. later he sells it.
his girlfriend dumps him, because she on it just to manipulate him, and he ends up working for some soulless corporation, while the site he created keeps calling him a cuck, or has forgotten he ever existed

Sloth is a sin.
But basically a guy is stuck on a week long time loop that resets early under specific conditions. He does gives up trying to escape and decides to enjoy himself, but eventually it gets tedious.
So to break the monotony, a girl transfers in to his school one day, and she has no idea wtf is going on. MC romances her and breaks up with her within the span of a week, but at the start of the next cycle she's kept her memories and is suitably upset.
Well, from that you can basically see where things are going.

does it have skeletons?

Err, probably not.
At an unspecified point in the distant future, as Earth's resources dwindle, mankind struggles to find a solution to deal with its population problems. Earth is overcrowded. The Earth's moon is overcrowded, Mars is overcrowded, and Jupiter and Saturn's various moons are overcrowded. To make matters worse, terraforming on the moon, Mars, and various other moons was a complete bust and these colonies all rely on resources from Earth. To matters even more worse, travelling beyond the solar system is unfeasible as it would still take centuries to reach the nearest star systems. Mankind is on a death spiral and the single government that rules the solar system is scrambling for a solution to keep things together.
A revolutionary breakthrough in technology however seemingly solves all of mankind's problems. With interstellar space travel impossible, mankind instead finds a way to travel to parallel universes or other realities, which are simply copies of the main universe with slight differences. Our main universe, luckily enough, is the only universe that invented a means of travelling to other universes.
After centuries of bloody conflicts, the main universe conquers, and enslaves tens upon tens other universes and uses their Earths, Marses, Moons as a means to feed resources into their civilization, and quickly become much more advanced than their slaves who devolve into poverty shitholes.
Our MC is a qt officer girl from the main universe, stationed in a slave/concentration camp on an alternate universe Mars to keep the peace and keep the slaves in line. In a one in thirty-billion chance, she comes across the enslaved, illiterate alternate universe version of herself and shenanigans ensue when she agrees to save... herself.
An ironic edge/dark comedy about a cute little girl who's the daughter of the Grim Reaper and is destined to take his place when she grows up. The Grim Reaper's job is as expected, to kill people and bring them to Heaven or Hell when their time is up and set to expire, as dictated by a magical calendar that details everybody who must die at a specific date.
To ease his daughter into the job, the Grim Reaper (who's actually a pretty laid back, cool guy despite his hilariously edgy get-up) tasks her with taking the life of a boy at some random elementary school.
The catch is, Grim Reapers are not allowed to directly kill people, they can only seed the events that lead up to somebody's death and cannot be caught carrying out the act.Our cute little girl enlists at the elementary school of her target and pretends to be his friend to get close enough to go in for the kill, but little does she know that the boy is extremely lucky, narrowly avoiding her elaborate traps and plots every single time while remaining oblivious that his life's in danger. He also mistakes the main character getting close to him as a sign of affection.Her schemes to kill the boy often end up with the comical deaths of random bystanders
>>157043526
Although this sounds like it already exists, I like it alot
A shameless rip-off of Kamen Rider where the main character is a cyborg against his will and struggles with maintaining his humanity, despite being able to break away from the bad guys before they finished his indoctrination. He fights against other cyborgs, but dies against the first general he fights. The next episode has him revived in a manner full of religious symbolism, but it turns out that he is now a mindless tool and kills the supporting cast. End.

A slice of life anime in a town near Mount Vesuvius in the point of view of a university-based archaeology club.
All kinds of things are unfolded on each episode, from "x is here" stories, to all kinds of buggery, to graffiti that's both nonsensical and makes too much sense.
Eventually, the story finds itself in a cathartic moment where all these people have died painfully during the eruption, and that the only way to appreciate their existence is by making sure that the writings of the wall remains for more people to see.

Japan gets hit by an asteroid and everyone reincarnates into a high fantasy isekai. The protagonist is Shinzo Abe reincarnated as a cute girl.
The voice of fire
Monster girls are invading our world in massive numbers, bringing only chaos. Vigilante groups styled after Crusaders and fantasy paladins and clerics form due to lack of government response, seeking to purge the monster girls from the world in reprisal.
Our MC is a young blond man was preshred by a friend to join his local group known as the World Guard 404. Despite his outward appearance as loyal, skilled guardsman, his secret is that he dosen't like fighting
Meanwhile, a family of cute tanuki girls try crazy scams each week to make money. When they backfire, the tanuki retreat back to the forest to come up with a new scam. However, the youngest one has regrets about following her sisters' lifestyle because she has a crush on MC, though she doesn't have the courage to reveal her love due to his public persona.
However a female paladin who has been tasked with hunting down traitors has already proposed marrage to the MC. He is also under threat from a magical ogre queen who was exiled to this new world. The pages of the ogre queen's spellbook have been scattered, leaving her weakened. She vows collect the magic pages and recruit local monsters to restore her kingdom.

"Speed Square"
Our MC is a girl who has no interest in making friends in her new class. She is very rude, narcissistic, and also flat-chested. As a result, she often ends up breaking people's cherished possessions.
She stores damaged objects all throughout her home. These pieces of damaged furniture and other items scare her, emitting a strange aura due to their damages. She can see this aura due to the teachings of of her grandparents. They taught her that each piece of furniture and houseware should be respected. Though she desires to repair these items, she has no skills or tools.
One day, she hears a loud hammering and the whirring of power tools coming from her neighbor's backyard. When she goes to look, she sees her classmates cutting wood and building furniture. Inspired by their skills (and big boobs) she asks the other girls if they could give her guidance in the art of furniture repair.
Every day she learns the ins and outs of DIY construction and repair, and uses these skills to restore her possessions, healing the objects' auras, and as her skills grow so too does her heart .

For real though, use the countless suggestions you've accrued over the past couple threads and change up the story. As it is now no one's really interested in it.

I have been changing the story with the suggestions

A couple threads ago, it was just the first three paragraphs plus a few lines about the overall tone of the story. People kept making suggestions about how to continue it, and an anon in the last thread even wrote his own ending, so I went back and fleshed out the story with the characters acting like I imagined them. I guess I went overboard. Sorry folks.

No actual skeletonsat least not in this concept. Just a throwaway line where MC calls himself a skeleton.
> MC is an awkward art geek who has gone 18 years without making a serious connection due to his shyness and his bumbling nature. He wants to go to art school, but his family doesn't have the money and he doesn't have the grades to get a scholarship.
> One day, he's cornered threatened by some delinquents when a woman about a decade older than him appears and beats the delinquents. The woman helps him run away, and they hide in a building she owns, which turns out to be a love hotel.
> They hide in her penthouse room, which the MC is nervous about. However, the woman merely wants to wait and chat with the MC, and the MC finds the woman to be the first person who he connects with. He's able to vent about his frustrations about school and his financial issues, and the woman doesn't judge him poorly and accepts him.
> However, as payment for helping him, the woman asks him to draw her nude. The MC finds it hard to do, but the woman helps him relax, and he finds this to be the most invigorating moment of his life. Once he finishes, the tension boils over and the woman seduces him.
> The MC isn't sure what to do now that he's lost his virginity in a one-night stand. The woman tells him he'll see her again, and gives him some advice to get through high school.
> A few weeks later, the MC graduates from high school, prepared to work a crummy minimum wage job and try for a general college next year. To his surprise, the woman appears before him. She reveals that she's there to hire him. Turns out she owns a chain of love hotels and wants him to paint murals for all of them. If he does, she'll pay him a handsome sum that will allow him to go to art school.
> The MC agrees, but discovers that this will be a challenging job that forces him to challenge himself as an artist. He also discovers the woman doesn't want their relationship to be a one-night stand, leading to some more sexual encounters that fuel and inspire his art and help him grow as an artist and a man.

Copied from another thread. Thoughts?
Kind of stolen from another anon's idea from a similar thread about a month ago:
>MC is introduced as some sort of elf expy
>The world is similarly based on a fantasy medieval setting, but there are noticeable anachronisms and things that are obviously out of place
>*Some spiel about how it's been X number of years since "The world ended" or something
>Along and along it's revealed there was a cataclysmic event involving angels descending from the heavens
>Angels naturally start to fuck each other up but end up settling down before a major confrontation happens
>They start dividing up the world they've descended on among themselves creating their own ideal kingdoms in their own image
>Some of the lands introduced latter on are undeniably based on/contain objects and ideas from Earth
>Plot twist: It's an isekai, but the MC is actually one of the beings from the new world
>Angels are actually randos from the normal world that have ended up transported to the new one with monstrous bodies and powers
>Most of them are fucking assholes, and even the nicer ones don't particularly give a shit about the native inhabitants, but because they're all so massively overpowered most agree any direct conflict between them would wreck havoc on the planet
>Hence them all retreating to their respective corners to do whatever they want, some trying to create their ideal society and some just simple fucking around with their god-powers
>The conflicts that do arise are generally settled through proxy wars fought by the natives they command
>MC and their race obviously do not like this turn of events and the main conflict is getting rid of the isekai children

What's the point of this? It doesn't even sound amusing as comedy.
>>157037632
As an episodic, I see potential here. I'd be more interested in hearing about your alchemist character than the world lore, though.
>>157037766
I like this. It's got a strong conflict based on an interesting premise. I'd watch it.
>>157038290
Since you've already posted a short version of this in previous threads, I have no issue with the expansion here. And, to add to that, I like the story you've laid out here. It's got some good character development and an interesting twist. I'd generally avoid thinking about season length and such at this stage, though. Just roll to the end of the story; I want to hear that part anyway.
>>157038422
Should have engaged Hard Mode, OP. Pretty sure this already exists too.
>>157039191
Sounds like a good comedy, minus that twist.
>>157040675
Saints and their relics are a study of mine. Pic related is a canonical cute saint girl. Is this the future you want, anon?
>>157042478
Now here's some good stuff. Finally, a pitch where the world-building is relevant to the story. I'd watch it.
>>157043526
Discworld has my favorite incarnation of Death, and he's got a kickass daughter too. Very different story, though. This sounds like a slapstick comedy, which could work well.
>>157043665
When will someone surpass Keit-Ai?
>>157043931
Sounds pointless.
>>157043933
I love it. I hope you'd include Pliny the Younger's account of his uncle Pliny Sr.'s death trying to evacuate people from around Vesuvius; it's a truly moving piece of writing. Bonus points if the Latinist in the group calls it Uesuuius. The theme you've laid out here is touching as well; I think this has real potential.
>>157044752
Girls und Panzer already capitalized on this niche.
>>157046205
Sounds more literary than most anime. Having said that, there's a manga (Udon no Onna) which reminds me a bit of this. I liked that one, and I'd probably find this interesting as well.
>>157047131
It's a premise with no story.
>>157047210
You did a fine job explaining yourself. I'd be more interested in hearing about MC than the fine details of the lore, though.
>>157047300
You may want to focus in a little more.
>>157047610
As a premise, it's nothing terribly exciting. Getting stuck in the princess role is an interesting twist on the usual isekai power fantasy, though.
>>157048436
Their idol population, or their idle population? I think one of the two might be a bit outside the realm of what you're imagining.
>>157051017
Sounds like a combination of stock anime roles that haven't been assembled in that particular configuration yet. It wouldn't stand out much, but there's hope for a unique story at least.
It's a high school mystery show where they go about solving seemingly magical mysteries and finding their mundane causes. Except there is a second anime set at the same school where the characters are fighting evil monsters, casting magic and other things, and the mc of the first show has a job of keeping it all a secret, including faking things so that they have mundane conclusions.

MC(Sai) is 26 and has never been in a real relationship with a girl or made it to 2nd base once.
He is taking a walk by the lake when he see's this girl named Lili forget her purse on the bench. He runs after her to return it not realizing he is about to change his life for forever.
As he returns it she seems overly happy and she mentions that he reminds her of someone they once knew.
As they talk they find out they have quite allot in common. She then asks him out for dinner
They go out and after dinner she confesses she is 40 and has a 15 year old daughter(Mei).
He looses his virginity to her that night. He tries not to let that dissuade him since he is desperate. When he is first introduced to her daughter she hates him but they eventually warm up to each other. He takes her to her to her swim meets and the malls just like a real father. All three of them become like a real family and he marries Lili 6 months after they meet Then 3 years later shortly after Mei turns 18 and finishes high school Lili finds out she has cancer and only 2 months to live. With her dying breath she makes him promise to always be there for Mei. In the following months Sai and Mei start to form a strong romantic relationship. The have sex just a month after Lili dies. They ended up having to move due to the backlash from the neighborhood.
They decide to move to a nice house in a rural area in the woods as the years go by their bond deepens.
It time skips again to Mei being 24 One day she goes into town and is confronted by 2 men in suits while eating and they had her a safe deposit key they say opens something her mom wanted her to see. Inside she finds a flash drive and laptop. It's a video message of her mom but the scene changes just as it begins.
Later she comes home very upset.
One month later after having to most amazing sex of their life she leaves a note on the table then drives away.
continued
>>157052342
He awakens later that night and reads the note she left. It goes on about how much she cherishes the time they spent together but she had to go back and face her past and that she hopes one day they'll meet again
She is seen walking into a building with the two men from before. They are in a dimly lit room. One tells her "it's time you must complete the loop. They pulls the cloth off this mirror and she walks through it then emerges out of it 24 years in the past and she is greeted by the same men. As she is walking out of the building a voice over of her mom's video message giving a brief explanation of the truth. The last scene of her giving birth 9 months later then plays
She is her own mother and own daughter and Sai is her father and father of her child. The story never explains who were those men, their end game or why they needed her to travel in the past to give birth to her mother. It's simply a story of love that transcends the laws of time and space.

You're right. I was writing a much lengthier post but I didn't want to spam the thread when I can't accurately communicate all the themes, ideas, and character descriptions.
It's fleshed out a lot in my head but what good does that do anyone.
I guess you could say it's a seinen about the events of the MC's life snowballing from the instant he understands that he can do something other people can't. He started down a path he can't veer from and all the things that happen to him and how he feels are the result of other people.
I'd compare it to works such as Vagabond or Zetman. A journey of purpose that has both pain and happiness. Not trying to reek of edge but bad times highlight the good times and vice versa.
It was the start of the second year of Astrid’s adventurous life at her prestigious not-Hogwarts high school, when a messenger pigeon came with a letter from her parents: for various reasons, their perpetually sketchy finances had finally collapsed, leaving them with no home and no tuition money, meaning Astrid would be going to live with her estranged sister Estelle, whom no one in the family had spoken with since Estelle dropped out of not-Hogwarts three years ago.
Already dejected from losing her place in the magical world, Astrid makes her way to the rural town where Estelle lives. She finds her eking out a living as an undercover alchemist, dwelling in an RV with her three-year-old son. The moment the sisters lay eyes on each other, old wounds quickly reopen between them, each still bitter after three years of mutual silence.
To add to Astrid’s misery, the dingy American high school she must now attend is a far cry from the splendor of not-Hogwarts, with barely any other students, and certainly no normal ones. The friendliest of the lot of is Becky, a bored conspiracy addict who immediately latches on to the notion that Astrid and Estelle are secretly drug dealers, just like in her thrilling TV dramas. Astrid finds herself forced to play along with Becky’s delusions, lest she stumble upon the real secret instead.
This is the story of Astrid’s struggle to find a new place for herself after having the magic literally stripped from her life. It’s about how she and Estelle slowly repair their relationship, and also perhaps about hunting the sasquatch in the woods with Becky. Everyone is looking for something exciting, a little magic to make life bearable. Will any of them find it?

It's like Game of Thrones, but an anime. Instead of flashy fantasy armor we get boring looking but functional armor. More realistic hair as opposed to spikey colorful anime hair. It will still have fantasy elements like races like elves and orcs. A bit of magic will be present, but it's very toned down.

Bamu Bamu is just a normal high schooler, a go-home club member, a big sister, playing games, reading jump, posting on 4chan where he keeps complaining of bad plot and poor character development. One day he Bamu Bamu realises he has the capacity to enter the plot, litteraly projecting himself in an anime if it is airing for the first time and interacting with the characters.
And there's even more, it appears that the changes Bamu Bamu has done during his journey affect the scenario of the current episode and makes the characters act of thei own. Most studios were shocked when they heard the characters prounouncing sentences that were nowhere to be seen in the script, but you van't deny that fact.
Bamu Bamu can enter an anime and change the plot as if it was another reality for everyone to see until the end of the progam. Never again there will be such infamy as the one which devastated the IchiRukia fanbase, chaos will provied over underdevelopped plot. However the Anime Studio didn't say their last word and hired a mangaka famous for his tricky and unpredictible plot in order to create a set to capture Bamu Bamu.

It's a weird mix between Danganronpa/image board culture parody. All the characters are called Super Loser High School *fill in the blank*. Each character represents a board. But instead of excelling at expertise, they're just weird and autistic about it. Super Loser High School Gamer hates video games and does nothing but complain about the current state of the video game industry. There's also a reoccurring gag when the other characters happen to be casually playing video games together, he just sits and stares angrily at the the game and is the only one in the room not playing the game. Super Loser High School Cook cooks nothing but those horrifying meme food like bacon dream catcher pizza burgers or ramen sundaes. Super Loser High School Musician is an aspiring musician in the field recordings and whale noises genre. Everyone is basically a really fucking terrible human being, but here's the catch, everyone is a cute girl. So waifufags will still watch to see what horrible things their waifu will do each week.

Guy accidentally goes into huge debt because of hentai. Has to repay by working unusual jobs.
The world tree grows in Sodelheim, a cosmopolitan republic, but traditionally, the elves alone are its stewards. After a terrorist tries to burn it down, the nearby high elf kingdom of Harcailia declares that all non-elf races are threats to the world tree, vows to remove them from the surrounding lands, and goes to war with Sodelheim.
Seamus, the child of a high elf and a dark elf, is a loyal Harcailian warrior tasked with tracking down humans, dwarves, beastmen, half-breeds, etc. so they can be sent to concentration camps. One day he discovers incontrovertible evidence, in the high elves' own records, that the world tree is not unique, they can grow a new one anywhere they want, they're not originally from this world in the first place, and their ultimate goal is to "cleanse" all of reality by purging all lifeforms other than trees and high elves. He is forced to choose: Betray all that he stands for, or keep serving them and wait to be betrayed?

Recycling an old one with a few tweaks to try and make hard mode:
Title: Ze Hat
A series based/inspired heavily by old Jackie Chan films and other Hong Kong action flicks
MC's name is Jun Ree (named after martial artist Jhoon Goo Rhee) which does sound a little bit like a girls name in retrospect which could be a small running joke
in the series. As for martial arts he's quiet capable, but the thing is he looks and somewhat acts like a good damn idiot while fighting (hence the Jackie Chan part)
so everyone initially underestimates him. Other than that the only other thing set in stone about him is that he wears a blue baseball type hat which is how we get the tittle of the series (if it sounds like a stupid reason, that's the point).
The main story centers around Jun Ree doing odd jobs around the city/slums of Not Hong Kong each bring its own 2-3 episode mini arc, some are original and some are heavily borrowing the plot from old Hong Kong movies with the connection between them is the hat wearing sorry excuse for a main character is involved in some way be it major or minor whether it be because of a job in order to make a quick buck, roped in against his will, or just plain bad luck.
The first arc would be mainly be a introductory arc borrowing a little from the first Police Story movie in where Jun is hired (threatened) by a old friend in the police (who's name would either by Chan Ka-Kui or Kevin Chan) to look after the soon to be main heroine who plans to testify in court about about a crime lords illegal activities on a hunch that there are moles in the force that are seeking to undermine the take down a said crime lord.
Sports anime about a competitive card game that people play in tournaments for some reason even though it's completely luck-based
The reigning champion is hospitalized after a motorcycle accident and passes the torch to her naive young fan who has never played before

A Super Sentai show centered in the old URSS. There are five fighters, and they're all Red because they're equal. The Monsters of the Week they face off represent Religion, the Aristocracy, Capitalism and Fascism, and try to conquer the URSS with plots similar to Captain Planet's villains, but they always end up revealing a giant monster defeated through the combination of the Workers' powers.

>I Hate Battle School!
In the future high schools train their students to battle with anime magic and at the end of their senior year each high school sends their top students to a anime battle tournament in the capital. The winners of the tournament get top spots in the military and don't have to worry about being drafted.
Very original, I know, but please hold your applause.
Our MC came from a wealthy family and is pretty good at battling anime so he went to the top battle high school in the land for is freshman year. During that first year he realized that he was totally outclassed and had no chance of being top of his class. Our story starts when he decides to go to a third tier high school out in the boonies to artificially inflate his stats.
So imagine the Asterisk War but set in Alabama.
Most of the early episodes center around our MC using his money and power to trick his classmates into thinking that he is the typical super cool, Mary Sue, battle school anime protagonist, and, after a while his classmates slowly realize how much of a goddamn tool he is.
Towards the midpoint of the first season the government announces a change of rules to the end all battle tournament. Now not only do you have to succeed in one on one battle but also team battles. Now our MC has to train a ragtag group of stoners, hicks, and skinheads to become the best anime battle team in the land.
Did I mention how the anime battle system works. In this world most people have magical stomachs, so whatever you can conjure in your small intestine, regurgitate, and grip with your teeth you can fight with.
A fantasy empire has been stuck in a medieval state for centuries, and to shake up things, one of that world's higher beings bring some Revolutionaries from our world to this world. These historical figures come from different Revolutions, some more successful than other, through history (Maximilien Robespierre, Martin Luther, George Washington, Vladimir Lenin, if I knew more about history I would extend the list, and surely add non European people), and they take different paths towards Revolution, discussing how much suffering a Revolution is worth, what's the responsability that a Revolutionary must bear, what is a true cause for Revolution, etc., with a constant theme of comparing themselves to the Devil, since the Devil was the First Rebel.
An overarching Big Bad is the actual Devil, who in his quality of Rebel has been brought up to shake things up in this world, and manages to convince some of the other rebels to follow him.
Our MC is from an unknown Revolution in the future. He has to manage some peace among all the rebels to make the best possible future. He's hinted to be the actual Devil, the one who gave knowledge of good and evil to the original humans, who has doubts about his own Revolution against God, and giving humanity freedom at the cost of being tempted by sin.

The story of a SS working to build his harem of Onee-sans.
>>157038290
As far as I'm concerned the heroine is the actual MC of this story. The male lead doesn't really seem to change since all his development's done in the first couple of loops and all his conscience just went to her (no surprise there). I guess that makes for a more interesting story but he's only really good as a deuteragonist.
With the drinking and sex and violence it makes for a better manga, and it might be executed better that way instead of in anime format.
>>157039191
What's the point if the reverse harem lead falls for him like any other girl in his harem? It'd be better the other way around. This is assuming the harem lead is the MC and the sole viewpoint character.
This'd only work if it was a decent mashing of the demographics. If it only parodied one but not the other it'd feel hollow and biased.

It is the ninth century AD in the Frankish kingdom. Civil war looms in the distance, and the bishop Agobard is busy penning a tirade against the superstitious peasants who believe storm mages are conspiring with cloud-sailing pillagers to pilfer their crops.
But he would be wrong.
Aboard a flying ship sent to steal grain for a starving city in the sky, a zealous young raider finds herself accidentally knocked overboard. She awakens to find a strange old man beside her and, in a panic, kills him with her magic wand.
In the nearby village, the physician's apprentice wonders what became of his master who went into the woods to investigate a strange sound. When he goes to look for himself, he finds a gravely wounded girl crawling out of the forest and takes her into his care.
The girl is taciturn at first. She doesn't speak a word of his language and seems to know nothing of the quiet village life, but gradually the two form a bond. This is the story of their relationship, as the boy struggles to take up the mantle of his vanished master in a time of great upheaval, and the girl tries to find a place for herself, a soldier, among peaceful farmers.
Will she find the words to tell the boy what became of the physician? Will they be able to protect the village against the oncoming war? Will they find an understanding of both themselves and each other?

MC: Anon-kun: A foreign weeb with murderous tendencies that can only be calmed down by reading japanese stuff.
Main heroine: A young psychatrist who just graduated. Her first patient for rehabilitation is anon-kun. Isn't really into this sort of thing but is willing to listen to anon-kun's rants with a soft smile. Early 20's
2nd Heroine: Anon's dead Childhood friend. A cute japanese girl who is into manga and such which is where anon-kun gained his interest. Anon's homicidal tendencies come from not being able to save her from a hostage situation because the ransom letter was in japanese and he couldn't translate it on time.
3rd Heroine: Class Rep. One of those studious chicks who knows a ton of languages including japanese. He sticks to her because he knows she's the only one who could prevent him from killing someone.
4th Heroine: Transfer Student from Japan. Is actually a famous LN writer who now has writer's block. Anon almost killed her but was able to be stopped. Realizes soon that she can write 10/10 stuff the more her life is in danger/closer to death.

And...? What happens?
Female ex-military, mid to late 20s, recently discharged for reasons yet unrevealed, returns home and feels nothing is as she left it. Feels that her family is different, saying strange things here and there, or behave in manners unlike themselves, just enough to be noticed. Some old friends she was once close with and an ex lover reach out to her upon her return and speak of memories with her that she cant remember. She doesnt know wether things are off or if she is having difficulty adjusting. Her first few nights home it is revealed she has ptsd, has nightmares, sees visions. She begins working in construction and tries to begin carrying on with her life in spite of ptsd and all the difficulty of adjusting to everyday life after years as a soldier. Her first week into the job, a young girl is found dead at the construction site. Murder mystery ensues, with MC ending up implicated, while overall mystery of MCs own story unfolds. Main characters include MC's younger brother, older sister, mother, father, old best friend, old flame, a coworker, a detective. It would be thriller/mystery, but more seinen/josei mature-oriented.
Probably too plain to be animu tho huh? What if MC is like Revy from Black Lagoon or Yoko from Gurren Lagann, oneesan is flatchest tsundere, otouto is actually loli imouto, okaasan is big breasted airhead, otousan is comic relief always trying to act young and hip, ex friend is mature OL babe, coworker is sexy otaku babe, ex lover is comic relief bro, and detective is a dragon spirit demon.
MC- a high school girl who is obsessed with American President Theodore Roosevelt.
instead of manga, she reads books about him.She cosplays as a rough rider, though her weeb friends don't get it. As a result she is left feeling isolated because no one understands her devotion.
One day, she is visited by a talking badger named Josiah who claims to be Roosevelt's familiar. Roosevelt was a monster hunter and since he has been gone, the monsters that hid for so long in fear of him are beginning to resurface. Josiah trains our MC to become a true Rough Rider, complete with her own magical girl transformation.
She has to protect her hometown from evil beasts that her idol once faced, like the wendigo, the wampus cat, the skunkape, and many more creatures both from american folklore, but Japanese and european as well
>>157072788
this one I really like
would watch
>>157052102
It'd work well enough as comedy.
>>157052362
That's some right weird shit there, but I sort of like it? I thought this was just going to be another deeply uncomfortable incest fantasy, but the ouroboros stuff at the end helps. This is probably best done as a short, at any rate.
>>157052682
The problem I had is that a lot of things happen, but not because of any apparent causes. I'd suggest trying to find a "flow", for lack of a better word, to your sequence of events.
>>157053467
A premise, but it needs more of a story.
>>157056748
This sounds more like a classic fantasy adventure than GoT. Still, classic fantasy adventures don't pop up all that often in anime of late, so I'd welcome this. You're not going to have much appeal from originality, of course, but if you can make your characters strikingly vivid and their world lifelike, then I expect you'd be able to tap into that same charm that made A:TLA such an enduring hit.
>>157057226
This could be pretty amusing; cat and mouse between a rogue "character" and an author.

Have you seen Thermae Romae? Anyway, I'm having a hard time imagining a compelling story here, even for a single episode.
>>157072590
I liked it plain, anon. It was a really good pitch up until the last paragraph.
>>157072788
Just absurd enough to work.
>it's an ensemble cast anime set in a high school
>every main character is loosely based on a character from a Shakespearean play
>Romeo is the captain of the boy's basketball team and is usually flanked with his best friends and team mates Benvolio and Mercutio. Juliet is the captain of the girl's soccer team along with her cousin Rosaline. The boy's basketball team and the girl's soccer team have a lot of animosity between each other because they have a long history of fighting over funding from the school and its just generally accepted school tradition for the two teams to not get along
>the student council is lead by Julius Caeser. Cassius plots to get him fired and replace him so he can make new rules/decisions to make school more fun like having more vending machines around school and other inane things. He enlists his best friend Brutus in his schemes to usurp Caeser.
>Petruchio is a spoiled rich kid and one of the most popular kids in school. He has a love/hate relationship with Katherina, who works as a professional model outside of school. Katherina is a total bitch to him, but they stay together because it's mutually beneficial for their social standing. Petruchio plots to manipulate her into becoming the perfect girlfriend.
>the more tragic characters like Hamlet are rewritten in a way that makes there story PG. He's the head of the light music club and is an insanely popular and talented musician. His senpai Claudius plots to get Hamlet kicked out of the light music club due to poor test grades so that he can step in and take his place. Claudius succeeds in distracting Hamlet from his studies with his harebrained shenanigans like booking their band to play a show every night of finals week. Unfortunately Claudius spends so much time with his schemes that he too fails his exam, as does the other members of the light music club forcing them to disband.
>>157072788
I don't think it could do for a long series but by God I would watch it.
>>157075468
You know, if you somehow add Shylock from the Merchant of Venice somewhere in the plot, I'd buy it. But yeah, in general, it seems a good blend of modern and classical stuff. Those things are either really good or really suck, but I think it would work.
The Lord of war
young boy is a servant in a castle, he is in love with the princess, and she is in love with him too. Both know that they don't have a future because the king with not allowed. Didn't matter to the boy, he still talks with the king and asks for the hand of the princess. The king mocks the bou telling him that he is a nobody and that he never will marry the pricess.
The boy makes a promise to the princess "I would come back for you when I stop being a nobody"
So the boy goes and find this famous grup of mercenaries calles "Te lords of war" the story follow his test to be trained, the training, some missions in other kingdoms, the rituals of becaming a lord of war.
A few years later, he comes back, he is totally a diferent person, from a wak boy to a bad ass man. Every one recognices a lord of war. He speaks with the king, and at first the king doesn't know it's the boy, but with some frases that he said last time, he totally recognaise him.
The king worried that this warrior would do something crazy, like try to kill him, says that he would give him a chance to prove that he really is a lord of war, fighting the best warrior of the kingdom to death.
The wrriors fight, the boy almos loses, but he was playing all along, hi wins demostraiting his years of experience.
The king says that it's ok, he recognices him as a lord of war, but that doesn't mean he is going to give her daughter just like that, so he have one condition "You could mrry my daghter if you let me cut your thumbs" this way he would never handle a weapon with his full skill.
He accepts, because he doesn't care about fighting or being a king(wich is one of the mains worries of the king all the time), but just being with the pricess.
In a fantasy world, an ascending villain manages to get a sorceress to make a prophecy about his future. She tells him about a chosen one that will one day face him, and that he either loses there or is never stopped at all.
There's a ridiculous list of requeriments for the chosen one, so the villain thinks it will be easy to monitor his birth. However, the wizards of that world manage to learn about the prophecy (this world is kinda obsessed with prophecies) and artificially manufacture the requirements to get the Chosen One, a lot of times, the result being a lot of potential Chosen Ones.
However, most of them fail on their task, until it is revealed that, while the Sorceress did make a prophecy, she just made up something so the villain won't annoy her anymore, but for some reason won't tell what was the original prophecy anyway.I was thinking what she actually saw is that the villain won't be defeated as long as she's alive, and she doesn't want her head on a pike just for a slim chance of the guy being defeated, but honestly I don't know what to do, it's just a story of people messing with a prophecy.
>>157076597
I was convinced the princess would cuck him somewhere along the line.

Good job anon. interesting read.
battle shounen with politics.
>in the future war is abolished. as all disputes between nations are settled by armed combat between heads of government/state.
>no longer are countries lead by weak fat old men and women. as the first decade of the new duel system saw them slaughtered nations with younger fitter men.
>Keitaro ururashima is a political science graduate and former JGSDF soldier in the early 30s. he is training to one day enter the competition to select candidates to be Japan's next Prime Minister. So he can lead his nation and defend them in the arena.
>to become a candidate he must be one of the top 10 out of a 100 in battle class. then maintain his eligible status by staying in the top 10 of the yearly candidate tournaments.
>killing is not allowed in battle school. though in the yearly tournaments it is allowed. to keep the eligible pool down to about a 100.
>candidates must also participate in the normal Diet Election process. Just because you are the best fighter, does't mean you get the job.
>people you have beat in the arena may win in the ballot box.
>keitaro gets elected but is not prime minister yet. he discovers an international plot to do away with the tournament system.
>they want to steal a nuclear weapon being held still by the UN. which uses them to potentially punish those that try to defy the tournament treaty by having actual war.
>they will then use it to attack the tournament next time major powers are fighting. leaving many nations leaderless for a short while and allowing conspirators to seize power.
>Keitaro's only way to stop this is to become prime minster. then with his allies South Korea, United States, and Canada, challange China, North Korea, and Russia to a fight in the arena over the Kuril Islands. This should be a major enough conflict to draw the conspirators out. Then he and his comrades can stop them there.
>>157076921
I mean, the boy would kill the other guy and rape the princess corpse then, kek.
But jokes aside, the king would not let any one marry her, so she is still pure. He would let the boy marry her now just because he fears that the boy would still have ways to kill him even without his thumbs
>>157077182
>>157076875
I have a story like this, but the villian wants to erase humanity because he sees them as cancer, so he just want to let the world be without them.
He calls out every hero that comes for his guts, because every single one just come for a selfish narcisistic reason, like power, fame, money, bang a princess, become a king, stole his powers, etc. So he is right all along, humans are shit.
At the end, the villian wins, erase humanity and kills himself becoming one with the world

Mirror Mirror 鏡よ鏡 (Kagami yo Kagami)
MC-kun is your average high schooler about to start his last year, with one fatal flaw: he loves himself far too much! His "mature" and predictable lifestyle takes a turn when he finds himself stalked and blackmailed by an unusual girl, who reveals to him an incredible secret: she is his alternate self from another dimension. Now forced to live with an eccentric and exceedingly familiar roommate, MC-kun watches as his rose-colored life spirals in a very different direction.
Potential Cast
-MC-kun fancies himself to be very mature and mostly uninterested in other people, leading him to have very few friends (if any) in school as he is comfortable keeping to himself. An egoist who thinks he is hot shit and wants to become a businessman, with dreams of being a smooth talking secret agent who knows what everyone is going to say
-MC-san is very very similar to him, but has given up on dreams of business due to Japan’s very male-centric business culture so instead has become a smooth talking and crafty woman (making MC-kun jealous). Blackmails MC-kun into letting her stay at his dorm as she now has no room or money
-Barista girl who is very familiar with MC-kun as he regularly comes to drink coffee. Slightly attracted to him (in looks only as she does not know what he’s actually like) and becomes intrigued when MC-san appears with him regularly
-Delinquent boy who was MC-san’s partner in crime in her dimension (where he was a girl and love interest): MC-san tells MC-kun his odd hobbies in order to get him to help her
-Solitary girl who MC-kun mistakenly thinks his similar to himself but is actually lonesome and depressed. Has killed (him)self in MC-san’s dimension, so tells MC-kun to make friends with her

additional details
>MC-kun and MC-san start off finding each other hard to deal with, but eventually become good friends
>mostly comedic slice of life but all introspective (as MC-kun and MC-san help each other realize what they are actually like) and existential (MC-san coming to terms with the fact that she'll never really see the people she actually knows ever again)
>music for the series is test card bossa nova music from the 60s and 70s as they both think they're hot shit agent types

what do you guys think?
>>157077775
I was aiming for something more lighthearted, greatly exxaggerating the lenghts everybody would go to follow or thwart a fake prophecy, and Sorceress-san awkwardness when she realizes that, plus the fact that she knows the real prophecy.
>>157038290
I'd read this as a manga and/or watch it as an anime. Interesting plot so far, anon
>>157078843
Is it a common isekai thing? Mine would be more seinen-y
So the MC's best friend gets murdered, right? They live in a small town, even smaller police force, and they simply don't have the resources to handle a murder investigation - especially when there's not a single lead. Two days pass, and after grieving, MC decides he's had enough and he's gonna try taking matters into his own hands and find the killer himself. Of course, he's just a regular guy, with even fewer resources than a police department, so he finds absolutely nothing on his first day.
Theepic plot twistthen happens: when he wakes up the next day, his room is arranged entirely differently, things appear to be missing, etc. Then, when he looks down, he realizes he's woken up as a girl. He freaks out, checks the room, and realizes from looking at various things (photos, old yearbooks, her phone's contacts/text messages, etc.), that whoever he woke up as seems to be the same person as him. They share the same name, are acquainted with similar people, went to the same school, etc. There are still some differences, but overall not that many. Fast forward another day, and when MC wakes up again he's male.
basically the mc has to solve his childhood friend's murder through paranormal parallel unvierse fuckery and turning into a cute girl every other day
A really tryhard psychological sci-fi drama trainwreck revolving around pop idols and2deep4u symbolismwhere the main character follows her dreams to become an idol, only to find out that behind closed doors, the idol industry isn't what it seems, and gets wrapped up in a massive conspiracy involvingreligious cults, pedophilia rings, occult magic, aliens, and creating an artificial God through the link between Idols and their millions of fans

>teleport entire class to mountain fortress, they set out to conquer the world using their innate skills and demon strength
>>157083084
is the shifting linked to the murder case? if not, then there is not reason to exist more than fanservice
>>157083832
makes no sense if every one plays along once they have the power
>>157083851
Yes, actually. The murderer ends upbeing able to move freely between different parallel universes, not just the two that the MC keeps waking up in every day.There are also more differences between the two universes than what I listed, which helps the MC along the way in investigating the murder depending on which side he's in.

> Then, mc becomes strangely suspicious as the questions he answers.

No, but we are fans of alternate selves from another universe in these threads
Isekai without any magic or videogame mechanics that turns into anime GOT.
A space Isekai in a Destiny-ish setting where heroic Travellers battle aliens, mutants, robots, and demons across an MMO scale galaxy. Male MC was a hotshot player who gets banned for cheating, so he switches to his sister's account to get loot from a raid event. Only the event never quite happens, and instead he's stuck in the game in a body that looks and sounds just like his sister.
MC's character is a sorceress with transformations to fit any role, but never quite master any of them. And the different forms are all fanservicey things he doesn't want to be like catgirl, bunnygirl, foxgirl, oni in a bikini, etc...
The heavy is the MC's friend from real life who has a crush on his sister. His character is large muscular alien with three testicles, so the whole situation gives him enormous awkward boners.
The tank is a Korean pro gamer with a big energy scythe and little self control, kept safe by his assortment of competitive level gear while everyone around him suffers. Ends up in the party, because every other party he's been in died, and rumor is going around that he's a PKer. Secretly a girl.
The healer is a former NPC, a vendor who would pop up on weekends to sell high level goods. Passed himself off as a Traveller when he found out someone was trying to corner the economy by killing all of the vendors. Full of excuses whenever someone asks for a heal.
And then there is the raid boss, the brutal pirate queen Szyzygia. Her idea of friendship is to throw someone down a flight of stairs. She would rather sterliize her prisoners than be in love. She has fallen for the MC and somehow it's ALL. HIS (her?). FAULT.
>>157086782
could be a good seinen comedy, mc breaking mindless fanservice for a more realistic interactions could be funny
>>157087122
It would only work if the mc is some kind of social genius or a skilled negotiator, other way mc would die in a GOT world
>>157087484
p meh story, just make a real scifi where mc became a female for some wacky spacial accident.
>>157087484
All of the others are also people stuck in the game?
>And the different forms are all fanservicey things he doesn't want to be like catgirl, bunnygirl, foxgirl, oni in a bikini, etc
Wow his sister was a slut, thankfully for us
Characters and lore taken from the MMORPG. I just holding on empty wish that someday I could see it adapted.
In the Novus planet, the three races of Bellato, Cora/Corite, and Accretian all fighting over natural resources in said planet, especially the rare mineral Haloment. Currently Bellato working in alliance with Cora against Accretia, both agreed that the mechanical race isn't the bunch they can talk things out with. But lately an atmosphere of distrust also grows between Bellatean and Coritean.
The story follow Behammer, a Bellatean explorer who currently serve as army in Armor Riders division. From time to time, he and few other Bellatean secretly meet up with Qadasha, a Coritean princess who also take part in the war, and her men. Both realized it's only a matter of time before their race's alliance finally break up, thus they wish to end the war as soon as possible before it got worse. Yet, Behammer's group also start to make contact with Accretians, namely the small group led by Lothan 3rd, until finally those group of Accretians also made contact with Princess Qadasha's group.
In the midst of war, that small group consist of members of three warring races needs to find a way to end the war while being in danger of marked as turncoats because of the now forbidden alliance they built.

modern boy gonna an hero off a cliff, when space rock hits him reconstructing body to give Omega rank photon powers (highest tier O,A,B,G) with some what RPG mechanics, passes out dreams of the body reconstruct and gets notifications, wakes to police finding him passed out in the morning goes home looks on social media there was a meteor shower last night all over the world, news of animal attacks with bizarre wounds, there are also more murders from humans as well. turmoil and chaos slowly spreads with the powers that the meteors gave.
MCs power is the manipulation on Photon, his body has been reconstructed to be able to do so. with also an upgrade of the sub consciences which later on as it levels up will have to mind fight for supremacy (every 5 ranks, which there are 10 of then being upgraded to the next tier)

if anyone is interested, how should the MC's alternate self look? he's got short hair combed neatly into a sort of "Bond" look, so should his female self look like
A) a 70s "bond girl" to reflect his wannabe charismatic side
or
B) a KGB-agent short haired femme fatale look to reflect the fact that she is the female self of a guy
she wears sunglasses a lot so that's in both designs
A great Hero and Lord from a fantasy world was disgraced, dishonored, and lost his waifu in war, and is about to kill himself to have an honorable death and have his men spared.
In another universe, a loser neet that failed the entrance exam to 3 universities but lied to his parents about it for a year is also about to kill himself.
When both do the deed, instead of dying they wake up in the other's place. They retain the memories of their past lives but also gain all the knowledge the other one has, though it's very blurry at first. Slowly, they accomodate to their new worlds and find they left a shitty situation to fall unto another shitty situation.
Neet loser finds this new world fascinating, and mostly by being a dirty asshole, slowly gets back to the top, gets his waifu back and establishes himself as a King.
Meanwhile, the Lord finds modern Japan equally fascinating, technology and all. He confesses to his new parents he hasn't been studying, but his strong attitude and his honorable attempt to change manage to convince his parents he's not totally wasted. He uses the rest of the year to sort out his knowledge, it's hard but he finds technology so fascinating he doesn't get tired of studying, and enters college next year to be an engineer. His serious and almost militar attitude makes him modestly popular among girls. Eventually he becomes rich and important, and his parents wonder at how he changed.
Basically, everyone manages to fix the other one's mess.
>>157092054
My problem with most isekais is that the isekaied kid becomes a hero from the get go, when in reality most of them would drop dead in a few weeks. Other problem is that knowledge doesn't mean skill.
The lord side being the neet is more interesting, but it would get boring unless you flesh out every thought and feel with every new experience.

The MC is a lonely salaryman with a hero complex. One day he gets isekai'd into a fantasy battle shounen like show where he meets the Main Girl who is the chosen one of sorts. She travels with this RPG like party and her quest is to defeat the Main Villain who is the evil terrorizing the land, one thing led to another and MC ends up joining the party. MC has no powers whatsoever but because of his complex, he wants to be stronger than the Main Girl to protect her. He loses every time he spars with her and this frustrates him to no end.
Instead of getting good, the MC decided to meet up with the Main Villain and form a contract with her for some quick power up. In exchange, the MC will sell out his newfound comrades to the Main Villain. So as the story progresses, the Main Girl's party starts to drop like flies thanks to the MC leaking info but this does not concern the MC since he starts winning some of his fights with the Main Girl thanks to his new cheating powers, the MC and Main Girl also start getting close to each other.
The final episode will be the Main Girl and the MC reaching the Main Villain's lair for the final battle and the Main Villain kisses the MC in front of the Main Girl as she then drops the bombshell that she and the MC has been working together all along much to the disgusts and outrage of the Main Girl, Main Villain and the MC then team up and kills the Main Girl. A portal then open ups leading back to MC's world, it turns out that the Main Villain was the one who summoned the MC all along. The show ends with the Main Villain retiring from her role as the main villain and follows the MC back to Japan where she is now stripped off her powers and becomes the MC's housewife.
They both live happily ever after, the end.
>>157092668
>Other problem is that knowledge doesn't mean skill
That's true for both of them, and their initial state would be one of just having the knowledge like if they had a lot of little notes scattered around their brains. However, as they become more comfortable in each other's role, their experiences in their new lives will slowly and truly unlock their new skills, instead of just having the bare knowledge.
I doubt that a medieval man suddenly thrown in our time, no matter how smart he is, would be able to enter in any modern college, let alone understand a cellphone, without some magic going on.
>>157093598
Sounds like a nice pair of characters to see them working together. And I like that you managed to mix body swap, gender swap, isekai and time travels in a way that's not neccessarily stupid.
I hope it's not a stolen idea, because I can't shake the feeling that there's a Japanese book with a similar premise, but it would be nice anyway.
>>157093668
>The show ends with the Main Villain retiring from her role as the main villain and follows the MC back to Japan where she is now stripped off her powers and becomes the MC's housewife
Why would she retire as villain after winning?
>>157093598
It sound interesting, the only thing that made noice is the part about taking control over the other, it would be good that this is very limited, like they can't see what the other sees, and they don't lose full control of their own body, so they need to trust and learn from each other.
>>157093668
The ending is shit after they kill the girl mc. I'm ok with the treason plot, but I don't like that he just treason them because "I want to defeat her" make him a bad guy from the start.

>during the firefight, akuma is released with a cursed hammer. the priestess figures the battle is lost, but the war can be won.
>if they can get the hammer and destroy the time and soul artifacts. they can prevent akuma from going to the present. in the past he can be sealed again much easier. as there are plenty of monks, priests, and priestess to battle him until defeat. though this would leave the detective in the past.
>the hammer is secured, and they managed to run back to their shrine and smash the artifacts. the way to the future is blocked off. though akuma still is loose and runs rampant.
>the detective, having an epiphany, realizes that this is as it has happened before and must happen again. so together with the priestess they travel japan and start sealing in akuma's wake. eventually starting an organization in the shogunate government to get everything sealed.
>the artifact fragments and the hammer are spread over shrines all over japan for safe keeping. though even the detective knows they'll be eventually found and put back together. since he has no knowledge of how they originally made it to the kyoto shrine. he has no option but to do it this way.

How would she even enjoy the spoils of her victory if she fucks off to another world to be a loser's housewife?
>>157094561
That loser won her the war.
Inora, a truly blessed land. The breadbasket of the continent, but home to the souther ocean's largest merchant port cities. The birthplace of philosophy, mathematics and other great arts, and the greater empire the world has seen.
Even now, almost a hundred years after the empire has split into many smaller kingdoms, the saying that even the slaves eat like kings in Inora still holds true.
But peace hangs in the balance. For fourty winters the throne has remained empty. The various nobles rule the land, while the rich merchants and their mercenary armies rule the coastal cities, in a tense stand-off with the nobles over who should wield actual power. The nobles have gotten by selling their crops to the far-nothern kingdoms through the trade routes of Dimera, achieving a tense balance between the two powers.
Untill civil war broke out in Dimera. The rumors talk about some god-sent queen, that appeared after a loud voice from the heavens and a bright light, rallying the pious people under her flag, against the current king.
Rumor or not, the reality is that the ground trading route is closed, limiting the income of the nobles. Tensions are rising rapidly in Inora. Untill, one day, a shining light appears in the sky...Yes, it's isekai. No, there's no magic or videogame shit, it's mostly politics and war.

The problem is that the policeman would need to actually use the priestess' body to physically fight, since it's not like he can explain her what to do. The same would go to the priestess. They could train each other, or share the bodies to a certain degree (like Ling and Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist, I can't think of another example right now but there should be a few more) instead of just swapping.
>>157094606
because she gave him power, he is weaker than her, ot if you want to be shitty they are equal in power. In the end he is just a tool, at best he would end like his sex toy.
>>157094606
>That loser won her the war
More like she used that loser as a pawn. It's kinda like a story where someone sells his soul to the Devil, only for the Devil to marry with them at the end.
>>157094867
I'm ok with the ability, I'm just afraid of it being abused.
>>157094933
>>157094935
It looks like a parody.
A boy falls in love with a girl. However, the girl is kidnapped by terrorists. Desperate to save her, the boy turns to his friend's great grandfather, who was an Imperial marine during WWII and held out for 20 years after the war on a pacific island. The old marine teaches the boy everything he knows about war and survival so he can rescue the girl. As the boy trains though, he realizes this still isn't enough. He goes on to recruit a band of mercenaries to aid him.
>>157075468
Sounds like a fair comedy setup; at the very least, a time-tested one. I'd be interested in seeing what the prevalent Japanese interpretations of Shakespeare are.
>>157076597
This sounds almost like a fairy tale in its childlike simplicity; a bit too simplistic, even.
>>157076875
A bit of Macbeth in there. I feel that the twist deflates the whole story, though.
>>157077182
Sounds weird enough for anime. Nothing terribly compelling though.
>>157078676
Interesting. Solid premise and good exploration of it, with the requisite characters, conflicts, etc. I like this pitch, and I get the sense that it has a broad appeal. I'd watch it.
>>157083084
With your additional notes on the murderer's MO, I like it. It'd probably sell too.
>>157086782
At this point I'm pretty tired of pitches for parodies of harems/eroge/isekai/etc. where the twist is that the MC isn't the MC of the parodied framework. We get what feels like half a dozen every thread, so the concept itself is nothing novel or unexpected.
On the other hand, this does demonstrate that there's clearly an unfulfilled desire for works of this kind, and that it's a broadly appealing concept. I'm certain you could make a very strong story out of it, if you were to expand beyond the simple "he's not the MC" premise. That's what I'd like to see next.
>>157087484
There's no story here; just base pandering to what I assume are your own interests. There's no shame in an self-indulgent fantasy, but no virtue either.
>>157091368
Powerlevels are poison to a narrative. I'd need to see more story here and less gamelike systematization.
>>157091853
I enjoyed Samurai Flamenco, which (temporarily) does an amusing vigilante arc; if you can expand or find someone to expand your premise into a full story, I'd be interested in seeing the results.
>>157092054
I like the juxtaposition, but as the other anon said, the lord-turned-NEET story is more interesting than the other one.
>>157093598
I really do like your premise and you do a good job showing us what shape the story will take, but I find the ending you give us unsatisfying. What significant choices do these characters have to make? It sounds more like they're just going with the necessary flow, which doesn't make for a compelling story.
>>157093668
Vaguely interesting plot; the ending makes it all wholly irrelevant, though.
>>157094747
Lore and worldbuilding, but neither character nor story. Intriguing worldbuilding, though.
>>157096829
will not work, the girl would be dead first week, MC would barely lerned how to correctly carry a gun by that time.
with what money he would pay the mercenaries?
>>157097411
>the girl would be dead first week
Held for ransom, as terrorists are wont to do.
>with what money he would pay the mercenaries?
Friends of the old dude, and crazy as fuck.
>>157097215
>This sounds almost like a fairy tale in its childlike simplicity
It was conceived as a short tale, I would make it more complex and longer I just wanted to drop the start and the end of the story.
>>157097404
>Lore and worldbuilding, but neither character nor story. Intriguing worldbuilding, though.
Didn't expect this thread to be still alive. Well, imo isekai is all about worldbuilding and it's hard to fit both worldbuilding and characterisation in a single post and I'd rather not be one of those anons that write a whole novel over several posts, unless a get several (You)s demanding for it.
>>157097404
I can never write a satisfying ending
> Boring MC is in an arranged marriage.
> Tries to get out of it, but caves in when he sees she's totally hot.
> Gets married.
> Summoned to another world and crowned king of human realm.
> Humans at war with demon army.
> His wife turns out to be the Demon Queen.
> They both transfer back and forth between worlds.
> Spend one week waging war in fantasy world, and one week on Earth trying to act like a normal couple.
Lots of second guessing if they actually like each other or not. MC assumes she's trying to kill him with her bad cooking etc. Wife is is actually jealous of MC's team of female lieutenants. Sex is forever postponed due to comic misunderstandings.
>MC dies due to being stabbed by a crazed woman for essentially roasting her for her bullshit.
> His soul is taken into the spiritual realm like any other living being that dies.
> Spiritual realm is where all souls end up and can be made, destroyed, or go across the stream into another world like a river branching off.
> Infinite amount of worlds where all souls will come and return to the spiritual realm.
> Reapers reap the souls of the living if their souls do not leave their bodies (through sheer will and ambition can they bring a reaper to fully take their souls). They also guide souls and judge them to live again, or die fully.
> Of course, MC didn't really commit much of a sin throughout his life so he is given a chance to live again in another world.
> A reaper guides his souls in a fantasy world where magic exists and technology will progress where rifles can be made within more than a decade of MC's life.
> MC becomes an orphan at an orphanage (aware that his father died and his mother could not provide for him alone and left him from an early age, she would obviously die out).
> Born with no magic, as magic is essentially the calling of the spiritual realm to bring forth creation and manipulate matter. The more your soul is tied with the spiritual realm the greater your magic is (varies across person to person) (which is an important plot point as the mc is supposed to be considered as one with greatest ties to the spiritual realm as he experienced with his own eyes a hell lot of it, but he does not possess magic)
> Magic can be all upon through words (through chanting/praying for power from the realm). If your connection to the spiritual realm is high enough, you probably don't need to say a word. Magic existed in his old world, but the knowledge was extinct.
> He doesn't take any BS from the other kids (He was punished frequently and people didn't like him, often leading to him getting beat up by kids with magic but he definitely fights back).
It's a fucking shit idea but here goes, Basically Gate , first contact with fantasy shit like elves, goblins, orcs'n shit. the whole deal.
but instead of modern military. It's Vietnam War era, Napalm, flamethrowers, Guerrilla warfare and all that, but instead of otaku in nippon military circlejerk, it is American first contact war with orcs.
napalm, tanks, flamethrowers and the same idea that gate had where fantasy people BTFO by "modern military" where moral of the story is that "Monsters come in all shapes and sizes."
>>157099724
What about Napoleonic era?
>elves charge the musket line
>cannons fire cannister in their face
Also, all the imperialism.
>>157099791
always kind imagined that scene in my head but with WW1 soldiers.
>WW1 troops charge city
>renown elf mage protects city square as last stand
>justicerainsfromabove.mov
>sniped from guy 4 miles away
>camera pans to back alley
>soldiers rush through with bayonets
>banzai.png
>camera shows shadows of elf soldiers and WW1 soldeirs brutalizing each other.
whatever works I guess.

Cont.
> His own impulsive flaw of not taking crap leads him to have no friends.
> One day, one of the kids from the orphanage accidentally set off his power ( he had high ties to the realm) and kids soon feared him for being too strong.
> Another kid set off his power (chantless like the other) after the other kids started talking bad about his foster brother on the side.
> They both were shunned by the rest of the orphans and stayed together most of the time. That would have been so, if MC was not there joining them in a mutual lack of social relationships.
> Essentially become the best of friends and a trio. Training together (which leadsto mc getting hurt many times), laughing together and so on.
> Eventually noticed by an academy known for magic. Except for MC for obvious reasons. His two foster brothers refuse unless they bring MC along and the academy reluctantly agrees.
> MC goes on a cycle of pretty much asking for a fight by essentially calling out bullcrap on other students (especially the females) and has to fight with alot of them.
> MC has to exploit the ideas of chanting/praying and rely on others to fight alongside him.
> Story leads to mc becoming drafted in war (lowest graded students are drafted for fighting) and revelations of the spirit realm and cycle of life gets put into question within this war of magic and technology.

A high-school boy finds a pair of panties woven from threads of platinum, and eventually discovers that wearing them endows him with superhuman strength and agility.
These powers are limited by how much he wears over the panties, and if he is wearing them properly; they only work at 50% if he is wearing jeans over the panties, and only at 20% if he wears them on his head or face.
These panties belong to the princess of a magical kingdom, and she has tracked their general location to the MC's town.
She then spends a majority of the series trying to determine who is wearing her platinum panties, by any possible means.

For a time, the young prince was truly happy: he had his father’s love, his childhood sweetheart’s hand in betrothal, and all the luxuries the palace could afford. After ten years, even the bitter wounds from last civil war seemed to be healing, and the future looked bright. But one night, awakened by a voice in his ear, the prince strays down to the throne room, where he finds a gruesome figure waiting for him: the ghost of the king whom the prince’s father usurped in the civil war.
The scornful ghost whispers to the prince of his father’s sins: deceit, betrayal, and the murder of the whole royal family—sins which the prince has inherited as his father’s heir. There is only one way for the prince to cleanse his soul, the ghost tells him: one of the dead king’s daughters managed to escape the coup and was hidden away by his faithful steward. The prince must find her, overthrow his father, and install the rightful princess on the throne. Only then will justice be done.
As the grisly apparition fades away, the prince gathers up his nerves and makes a fateful decision in the name of protecting all he holds dear: he will go and seek out the lost princess—and he will kill her.
Meanwhile in the countryside, a girl sits at the deathbed of the man who raised her—the king’s steward—and makes a decision of her own. Though the steward had trained her in the military arts and had always hoped she’d avenge his beloved king, she has seen firsthand how the people suffer, and how impotent even a mighty lord is to improve the common folks’ lot. Taking the steward’s sword and armor, she adopts the guise of a knight and dedicates her life to the good of the people, whatever that may entail.
A prince descending into squalor and a princess rising out of it; it’s only a matter of time before their paths—and blades—finally cross.
An isekai where the main character falls into depression, murders his sister in cold blood, and then necks himself. He wakes up to find, to his horror, that he's not dead and that his sister was taken to this fantasy world with him. Hijinks ensue and he has to try to make amends for murdering his sister.
>>157037766
Good stuff.
>>157042478
It sounded pretty lame before the slave version twist.
>>157077182
The high concept of politicians being combatants deserves a more creative story.
>>157072590
Got potential if you chill out with the tropes and cliches.
>>157064120
Shit pitch and as original as Star Wars but I'd probably watch it either way.
>>157061974
Sounds like a start, although lacks the reason to care about it all.
>>157061114
Solid. Any more details?
>>157043526
Anime version of Mort? Why the fuck not.
>>157101143
Sounds like Romeo x Juliet with a sprinkle of Hamlet. Would watch.
>>157038290
5/7. Nice concept.
A student (lets say he studies history or something) goes diving one day and accidentally goes too close to a faulty vent. Due to the vaccum created by the vent, he is sucked into the gap and trapped underwater with his oxygen supply running out. As his oxygen reaches zero, he notices a light in the distance.
The light is a truck, which runs him over.
When he opens his eyes, the MC is in another world blah blah magic blah blah demons etc. etc.
MC does not have any magical powers or anything, but after some plot conveniences, winds up arguing with a prominent academic in a bar about how all the science of this world is wrong.
After being booted out of the city, MC decides to get his revenge by proving his "common knowledge" to the backward inhabitants of the world. There are 2 problems however.
a) He's broke
b) While he knows of the concepts (e.g. germ theory, matter is made of atoms, evolution etc.), he doesn't have a clue as to how they were proven historically.
Then we have a educational anime about the concepts he tries to prove. MC's love interest is a haughty ojou-sama whose father takes interest in the MC's ramblings.
Cute girls playing war and politics in a VRMMO.
Basically a way to make anime-GOT with cute girls and school SOL elements.
Mortal engines as an anime.
>>157102993
>The light is a truck, which runs him over.
U-underwater??
>>157102993
Does the ojou-sama have drills? This is important.
>>157101143
I like the sound of this. Does he know what she looks like, though? He could take on the "knight" as an accomplice, even end up making out a little, before she's like "bruh it's me I'm the princess" and he flips out and tries to kill her
>>157103304
Only if one on of the girls gradually turns into a degenerate loot whore as the show progresses
>>157106283
Degenerate loot whore?
Anon, I was thinking more along the line of all the girls being crazy sociopath guild leaders that backstab allies left and right to get their guild to the top in the game. I'm talking, some Lineage or EVE stuff. And in real life, cute girls doing cute things.
They could all be in the same club or something doing cute things and enemy guilds in the game without knowing.
>>157106055
Of course. She also OHOHOHOHOHOs.
>>157106427
Perfect.
Someone fund it.
>>157106380
Well have the Student President also play the game, and have her realize she can get loot by being flirtatious in game, and then it just slowly progresses from there until she sleeps with one of the main girls' older brother(s) and gets found out for fucking people at the school to get in the top guilds and get the best gear.
>>157106554
It should never go that far, they should all be innocent moeblobs in real life.
The seitokaichou could find out about the girl's secret obsession with the game and try to see what's the thing that's taking time from their studying.
Trusting and innocent as she is, she falls for the first 'If you drop your weapon 3 times it will 100% succeed ennchantment' scam. And keeps falling for various other scams and backstaberies. Again and again.
