Anime idea:
An anime where an otaku nerd is waiting in line at a convention and he dies because a big guy in the line before him falls over and crushes him.
He wakes up in an isekai fantasy world where everyone is an owl, and they call peck him constantly until he dies again. The end.
It's going to be bigger than Dragonball Z
A woman in her 40s uncovers repressed memories of being a Sailor Moon-style magical girl superhero as a teenager in the 90s. As the world is once again threatened by her old enemies, she has to rediscover her powers while navigating a mid-life crisis.
This is great. Subplot about her realizing that her Tuxedo Mask figure was a fucking sleaze.
I like the idea that sailor moon powers are like fairly odd parents god parents where you lose access and forget you had it after you're not a kid anymore
A trans woman doing farm stuff with her girlfriend. It's a light comedy. That's it. That's the anime
The Yugoslav Wars in space with mecha
Or the Chinese Civil War in space with mecha
Or the Cuban Revolution in space with mecha
Fuck it just give me a mecha series where the good guys are unabashed commies
anime where there's a love triangle but they talk about it together and then realize they're okay with being poly so they all date
Guy keeps getting isekai'd into different worlds and failing to contend with the differences. It's like Quantum Leap except he gets hit by a truck at the end of each episode
Mech show where the mechs decide to make peace and build a new society together while the pilots struggle to regain control and start fighting again.
Anime set in a world where one form of competitive game is like 80+% of pop culture, like Duel Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Beyblades in Beyblade, racing in Initial D, etc. Chosen one underdog prophecies, rivals turned allies, high stakes matches with millions and/or the fate of the world depending on the outcome of the game, etc.
Except the game this world revolves around is high stakes tic tac toe.
Played 100% straight. Well animated sakuga shots of the protagonist drawing an X, with dramatic music and flashbacks to their childhood, etc.
No-one ever questions the fact that the fate of the world is hinging on high stakes tic-tac-toe. The protagonist goes from an impoverished amateur street tic-tac-toe player to becoming the national champion, defeating Old Testament demons, a megalomaniac billionaire, a fascist dictator, Lovecraftian horrors and rogue AIs throughout the seasons, saving the world multiple times. Through winning tic-tac-toe.
Dune should have been made into an anime in the style of Hunter x Hunter, lots of internal monologues, lots of narration over heavily time dilated moments, great world building and excellent moments of action combined with plans within plans
that shit would slap SO HARD
Also its REALLY queer Dune this time, Leto II is nonbinary, Duncan is trans, etc
sports anime that follows two gay athletes who are dating but play on different teams in the same league. As both teams make it through the season and into the playoffs, the show explores their changing feelings as the competition puts it under pressure, culminating where they face each other in the championship
the show doesn't focus on the games themselves, but on their day-to-day lives
A comfy train anime would be cool
Or maybe Train mechs that fight evil car mechs?
Good news! https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/tags/trains
The Wire but the BPD and all the major drug crews in Baltimore have mechs
Standard fantasy trash but all the monsters and dungeons are so big that the characters have to ride giant mechas to do it. There's a mech wearing a wizard hat that casts spells.
