Anything that resembles afro samurai in any way is perfect to me. Yes I know I'm a shameless fanboy.
A cute looking thing. Gee, I don't recall ever seeing one of those.Armored Prayer said:

here is what you need to do. go to onemanga.com read 20th century boys, 21st century boys, monster, pluto, billy bat, and one piece. now find a way to mix all of those together to make the perfect anime. also get yoko kanno to compose the music.
Watch Death Note. Then stop trying because you will never be that awesome.
Sorry, I just reeeeeally like Death Note.
My tips: Do NOT make anyone mega-powerful above all else. I've seen too many fanfics and animes fail because someone was way more powerful then anyone else. No one wants a boring invincible hero.
Maturity is important. Serious topics are important to anything, otherwise people become disconnected and bored. Feel free to have comedic relief and even have it be mostly happy and light-hearted. But if there's nothing serious going on it becomes dull.

its kinda hard just to come up with ideas/ feedback on stuff i've never seen ( your stuff to be precise, I do watch anime) but just try to make it good, and listen to some of the advise given here, its really good. ( particularly the part of maturity thx 4 that "Cover you head") I would like it to be funny and yet have a story, and perhaps something from medieval ages ( aminly because I like that stuff) like sacred blacksmith for example. but please, give us more info on what you're thinking of making ,and then ask us for feedback.
This I certainly agree with. This was one of the reasons why I got bored of One Piece.Ralen-Sharr said:
This is pretty much a list of things wrong with typical anime, I agree with it though.Twad said:
Oh and I do dislike ridiculously oversized breasts, they just look unsexy in my opinion.
You need to be able to relate to the story and the main character easily, while a strong story should be supported by an array of comedy, tragedy and possibly action/drama scenes.

This is a really awkward mish mash, but I like: Clannad, NHK, Elfen Lied.

I want an Anime, where the main hero dies somewhere in the middle of his quest (without any resurrections or other bullshit), and the people who were gathered in his team decides to make and fulfill his goal anyway without him as an act of honor toward him.
I mean, call me crazy, but I like all of those 1000+ chapter huge stories about people who start from squat to be the greatest whatever in the world and they fight some great evil to get to their goal. I like watching heroes facing off another, stronger enemies, while developing their personality. What i don't like, is false tension created by 'oh noes! The main hero will in any second!' moments. No he won't. He's the main hero. He won't die, unless he's not the real hero, or at least it isn't the final fight at the top of the Volcano of Doom. And even if, he didn't die for real, because we can easily resurrect him with some fancy macguffin or some kind of Deus Ex Machina saving his life last minute.
Take One Piece for example (or Bleach, or Naruto or whatever you are watching). Luffy is an awesome hero, and I love the stuff he's doing, but whenever he fights some baddie, I don't feel any kind of tension. Even if he drowns, is pierced by a poison hook, (almost) freezes to death, sliced, whatever - I perfectly know he will survive it, because his crew, or some random NPC who still believes in him and doesn't want him to die will help him.
And now imagine a fight sometime before the final action (heavy spoiler, don't read if you are currently watching/reading OP)
, where Luffy would really die, and there are still much more pirates/marines on the way to his dream. He's dead for ever, and ever, and he won't be resurrected. Then the rest of Strawhat crew would mourn him, and decide to continue the story, defeat baddies, become the greatest pirate crew in the world, while still claiming the captain is Luffy.
That would be awesome. I would like to see that, but sadly, usually the creator is too scared of killing his main pro halfway through because of zombie fan backlash which leads to creating even more stupid situation, when the main character 'is not dead. He's resting'.
Damn, once again my wall-of-postish nature kicked in. Tl;dr version: don't be afraid to kill your main pro for real halfway through. It doesn't mean the story ends. In my opinion it might even help push it forward after stagnation, or help develop the other characters who usually took the backseat whenever it came to the 'real fight' with Big Bad.

with Magellan in Impel Down, or that lava bastard who killed Ace in recent chapters

I agree with alot of that, however only two things concern me.Twad said:
Define Mary/Gary Sue, I know basically what they mean, but its been awhile since soemone explained the details.
Second as a future story it will have "mech" suits. However these arnt the 75ft tall variety around 10 feet tall and more built like a frame over the pilot. (Anyone ever seen Exo-Squad) It'll be done in a more realistic way.
The best kind of anime is the kind that takes risks. Maybe set up your main character as a typical invincible "the author would never kill him" kind of character, then kill him halfway through the series and shift the focus entirely onto someone else.
Avoid the Chibi affect... That always kills an anime for me. Aka the over exaggerated mouths and eyes when a character starts yelling and throws a tantrum or something... There was only one anime that I enjoyed that had that, but it was a comedy so it was expected... It kills a show when the show is supposed to be taken seriously for a good portion of the time.Primus1985 said:
Like when Mischa in Death Note started going Chibi I was thrown off because they didn't do anything of that sort for 5-10 episodes before that (forgot how many episodes were inbetween the first one and the first chibi reaction of Mischa.)
Also a thing I don't like is when they feel the need to have their characters shout out their attacks as they're doing it... It's something that's suitable for shows aimed at younger audiences but there are a few ones out there aimed at adults that do that, and it's not needed... The visuals alone let us know what they're doing, so why say it every single exact time they decide to perform it? If they mentioned it once or twice before hand in an earlier episode, we'd be able to remember what it was they were doing throughout..
Although a lot of this could be disregarded if you're aiming to do a comedy, or a show aimed for kids, or both, but I'm assuming the latter isn't the case considering you're asking the escapist what THEY like to see in an anime, and we're a wide range from teens to old farts ourselves.
-=No offense to farts or how old they might be.

Oh for sure. However after watching anime music videos on youtube, I would love in put some classic rock and roll in their, maybe even some metal and rap when appropiate. What kind of music would u like to see in a anime?birdmaster said:
I liked the animes Wolfs Rain, Spice and Wolf, Hime Mononoke (pattern no?) But I also liked Hellsing, and the Ragnarok Anime. Make the characters fight to become stronger, not like.. oh.. I bet you just because I'm smart. You can't have the brilliant guy be super strong or have some ace in the hole everytime a.k.a Naruto. Though also have a wonderful supporting cast.
also Morgan Freeman to do the intro.

I carry a Death Note messenger bag whos the bigger fanboy ~_^ lol j/k. Well i kinda had a way to counter the "Invincible hero" thing. He porposefully places limits on himself for two reasons, to be sporting to the bad guys and show respect for a honorable warrior, and two if he does go all out he could destroy the city (Tokyo circa 2101)CoverYourHead said:
I want mine to be very mature not based much on any comedy but action and drama, although their will be some quips and stuff thrown in, people like to laugh when they seee something blow up.
