Would you go against certain tropes or stereotypes? What kind of hero/heroine would you create? Why would they be in the predicament they were in? Would it be like slice-of-life or something more common like shonen?

I need to say, I could not accept anything less than Levi or maybe Mikasa. My standards are very high now.

I'll make one based off African folklore.
Guh! I am a writer, and let me tell you; I've had this concept in my head so many times, but I feel like nobody would accept it in anime format. Like machiko to hatchin levels of: only a certain demographic takes this seriously...! Ugh

I would love to do a anime that dramatized corporate work life. Instead of following one character, following a team and making their work responsibilities dramatic af.

To put it simply The Office but make it anime.

I wanted to make one with the 12 zodiac signs. (I only got that far :sob:)

Or a girl from a family of demons/villains wanting to atone for their sins.

High school or college slice of life. But instead of romanticizing all the dehumanizing traumatic sh!t, have the characters actually have realistic responses to various situations. Bullied kids won't seek out their bully to be friends with them. Disrespectful little sh!ts won't be able to use the My PaRenTs WoRkeD aLl ThE TiMe sO ThaTs WHy I maDe YouR LifE a LiViNg HelL:silly excuse.

Women won't fall in love and have Doki Doki moments with the men that assaulted them. Somebody spread rumors and gangs up on you at school, don't let it fester. Jump they asses in front the school gate soon as the bell rings. Call ya cousins if you have to. Listen if you've seen mi posts in this forum you noe exactly wat mi hang ups with certain genres are. :emoji_walking:

I've been into a lot of fiction based on myths, gods, and religion, so maybe a world based on that.

If I were to make one, I would make one about about ancient and medieval African kingdoms, an alternate reality, something futuristic, dystopian, like anything!

It would be about problem solving without creating more problems.

It would be about giving constructive help to the people who need it the most.

While adding some humor throughout the content.
Constructive Definition:

1. Serving to improve or advance; helpful.

2. Helpful; promoting improvement; intended to help. Contrasted with destructive.

3. Carefully considered and meant to be helpful.

4. Constructing or tending to construct or improve or promote development.

Peace.

I’ve thought of this as well, and I do think it would get taken seriously. As long as it’s well written, I think people will honestly like it.

I would love to make a scifi or fantasy themed anime with all black characters. I just need it in my life. I don’t see enough of “us” in fantasy roles, lol. I’ve even considered illustrating an anonymous webcomic because I loved creating and designing characters so much in school.

A dystopian futuristic world pf some sort that centers black characters but isn't exclusively about race/oppression.

A cute shojo show about a colleage aged black girl

heavy focus on friendships and relationships with some wackiness thrown in

my favorite shows are fruits basket and NANA type of shows, so it would be a heavy mix of heart and comedy.

I love slice of life with a focus on the character’s growth and relationships

One that deals with drug cartels. Make it a serious, gritty adult anime.

Mine would be like Harry Potter meets Naruto but there's a twist I don't want to say because it's original to me at least. It would be better written and more nuanced than those shows i.e. it wouldn't just be about Senju/Uchiha and it wouldn't be as black and white as Harry Potter with Gryffindor good Slytherin bad.

If that certain demographic takes it seriously then that's your audience and don't worry about the rest. You have the idea and concepts so get to work and stop making excuses.

Also y'all might the work of Milton Davis and the youtube anime Black Sands.

I would love to do one a realistic historical drama series on the ashanti empire starting from its founding under okomfo anokye and Osei Tutu and leading up to the anglo-ashanti wars with yaa asantewaa and her exile to Seychelles. It would be in the same vein as vinland saga. My dad used to take me to the manhyia Palace museum and kumasi military Fort museum everytime we went to go Ghana and bought me a ton of books chronicling the ashantihene lineage and the make up of the Royal courts. There's more than enough material, twist and turns that would put game of thrones to shame.

I was going to say this. A NANA but for a black woman. No ratchet sh!t either. I want her to have the same experience.

Perhaps. I probably could give it a go as long as I seek the right audience. Been thinking about getting into maybe producing something for webtoons lately.

I've had something like this I've been working on for about a little over 17 years. You're right. I don't see enough fantasy-esque stuff for black audiences/with black characters.

It might sound harsh but we can't wait for anyone else to make/produce the kind of media content we want because when non-black people do it we get sh!t that is so off the mark or rehashing the same story over and over again.

No, it doesn't sound harsh. You're right. That's the sad thing about it too. But yeah the stories are also the same bcuz Japan tends to always follow certain tropes, but I'm sure if more ppl gave more variety then things would take off better.

We as black people can not let fear hold us back, you got 100% white people out here making anime and sometimes it be nothing but bµllsh!t. I know black people interested in east asian entertainment in this case anime triggers some to the highest degree but fµck there feelings. We want to see US and all of us not the sterotype or their demonized or fetish view of black people. We deserve to have stories with us in them be it slice of life or high fantasy. No one questions a series have nothing but (in this case) japanese, white or white looking japanese people so why can't an anime have nothing but black people!?
