Secret Reviewer 1: March 2017

So like I said, I will be writing a few stories of my own and I may need some of your opinions to know how I can make it better. I've decided to do it one story at a time since three different stories in one post will probably make it too long. I haven't really settled on a name for this one so either Obakes (Shapeshifting Yokai) or Therianthropes.

I was inspired by anime like Inuyasha and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, as well as films like X-Men, The Hunger Games, Divergent, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and Princess Mononoke. This anime will cover topics of racism, discrimination, environmental issues, self-worth, as well as fate and free will. Similarly, X-Men itself covered issues of racism and discrimination as mutants were misunderstood beings. For example, Professor X has similar qualities to Martin Luther King Jr. and Magneto is similar to Malcolm X. Also, Hayao Miyazki's films like Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind each covered topics of environmental issues. I've decided that lumping them into one will definitely create a great product, however I need some of your ideas too.

I know there's a lot of characters but I plan for this to be a long, complex series with each character serving a different purpose and adding to the plot. There will be quite a few references to other anime here too. Also, at some points the characters will cross paths with those from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and Inuyasha. If this were a manga it would be 60 volumes long with 600 chapters, which I plan. If it were an anime it would run for 8 years and have 12 seasons, 300 episodes, 2 TV Films, and 3 Theatrical Films with the final theatrical film finishing off the series with a bang.

Lastly, keep in mind that I do not have access to a scanner so I can only upload what I have but will upload more pictures later. PS Also, There will be American jokes in here, DO NOT GET OFFENDED; I'm American myself and if you're gonna get butt-hurt then you need to get thicker skin. Feedback is wanted and ways to make it better. Constructive criticism is welcome however anyone who is bullying or harassing will be blocked as that is not wanted nor needed here. Damn this is gonna be my longest post yet!

Summary
Transforming yokai have long been feared and hated throughout the world, though they are really just misunderstood. Yokais gain the powers and ability of their species, and different species usually are supposed to be enemies. Nevertheless, yokais have weaknesses and times where they can't use their powers. The cold-blooded ones are powerless in winter, while the warm-blooded are powerless on nights of the full moon, new moon, or during an eclipse depending on their species. When two blood-related yokai become close by bonding they feel each other's physical and emotional pain. Signs that someone is a transforming yokai are heterochromia (two different eye colors), unusually skin hair and eye colors, and looking young for their age.

Fahru Hachuu is a reptilian yokai, married to Ren Hachuu, an ordinary woman, with two boys. The Hachuu's home is burned down by a mob and the father Fahru's is killed. Four years later, 16 year old Annabelle "Angel" Ahrimo sets off to Japan for a short move. Secretly, she is a cat yokai, hiding inhuman qualities beneath her seemingly ordinary appearance. There she befriends 16 year old Takeshi Hachuu, the eldest of the Hachuu sons, out of pity. The two reveal their secrets and realize they're not alone.

A set of pages sacred book and possessed gems known as the Hearts of the Universe have been released throughout the world and evil demons led by Kyofusho are wanting to get them.The book and its contents also depict the fate of many and the gems are powerful enough to give one immortality and other powers. Yokai and demons have a sixth sense for finding the gems and pages. On the other hand, the demons are evil and willing to do anything to dominate the world. Demons have immortality to a degree, and will always remain powerful. Angel joins Takeshi in his quest to obtain the scrolls and gems to stop them from falling into the wrong hands. Joining them are Takeshi's brother, fellow reptilian Taro, and their childhood friend, Nina, an owl yokai. They must travel to collect the scrolls and gems, as well as defeat the demons, prove their innocence to the human world, protect the forest around their home, and find out what it truly means to be who they really are.

This probably sounds kind of cliche but that's what made Inuyasha, X-Men, and Sword Art Online quite popular. I would like some ideas of how to make this less cliche. Overall, I want it to have a similar style to Rumiko Takahashi, CLAMP, and Hayao Miyazaki.

Characters
There's a lot of characters and there will be more than those listed, but I plan for this to be a long series, hence why there's a lot of characters. I don't have pictures for all of them currently but they will be coming.

Hawkins is cold, arrogant, rude, self-centered, desensitized and immune to the suffering of others. He shows little to no remorse for anyone and does not seem to care for others. Much of this is because of the suffering he endured at the hands of many humans which leads to his hatred for humans and joining the Obake/Yokai nationalists.

Soundtrack
I want the music to be a Studio Ghibli like soundtrack combined with the soundtracks from Inuyasha, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, and 3x3 Eyes. If anything Joe Hisaishi could compose some music that would be be a piece of art. I do like rock music and want some to be in the opening or ending. Particularly Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, Skillet, Three Days Grace, and Evanescence. Overall I think these songs would be great openings, endings or theme songs for both the anime and characters of course most of them will have to be Japanese though.

The songs "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri and "Far Away" by Nickelback would be great for the couples just to name two. Then again there probably will be Japanese made background music too.

The only good thing about Twlight

Acting
If this were real I'd imagine these voice actors or live action if I feel they fit. I don't know many Japanese actors so I put most of the English voices here. Obviously I imagine Rie Kugimiya and Satoshi Hino as the tsundere and her love interest. If I was an actor though, I'd definitely take the lead role with my GF as Angel. I would like this to be co-narrated by Takeshi and Angel mostly with some from Taro and Nina.

Takeshi Hachuu- Scott Menville (also voiced Robin from Teen Titans)
Angel Ahrimo- Hynden Walch (also voice Starfire from Teen Titans)
Taro Hachuu- Greg Cipes (English) (voiced Beast Boy from Teen Titans), Satoshi Hino (Japanese)
Nina Moriko- Jessica Boone (Engish), Rie Kugimiya (Japanese)
Fahru Hachuu- Christian Bale
Ren Hachuu- Minnie Driver
Kyofusho- Aaron Eckhart
Myou- Sebastian Stan (Animated), Liam Hemsworth (Live Action)
Kumori- Anne Hathaway
Goriate- The Great Khali (a 7'1 wrestler, definitely great for the role)

Why I Choose to Write this.
The main reasons I chose to write this is because I want to put a topic of serious issues into a story. These include racism, discrimination, fate, free will, human relationships, environmental issues, and put some dystopian and post-apocalyptic theming into this. I will explain why I made Takeshi and Taro reptilians. Personally, I work with animals a lot and while I like furry creatures I've always been fascinated by reptiles. I believe snakes in particular get a really bad rap especially in the media and are the most misunderstood animals in the world. They help us by controlling rodent pests which eat crops and spread disease. Plus of the 3000 species, only 600 are venomous, 400 can kill people (including large constrictors), and only 250 are a real threat to people and that's just in poor places where shoes aren't worn and medical is poor like Africa and Southeast Asia. I work with reptiles a lot and own many myself.

Plus I like environmental, post apocalyptic, and dystopian films like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, The Hunger Games, and Divergent. So that's why I will be putting this theme in there myself. Also, I am a Conservation and Ecology major myself. Human relationships are a common and well liked theme which will obviously be included. The characters face obstacles in their relationships but the obstacles don't bring them apart, they only make them stronger and bring them closer.

I also kind of want to break the American and foreign stereotypes in anime. Most Americans I've seen were portrayed as clueless, American accents, etc. Angel is kind, caring, and sweet. Once again, there will be American jokes in here too and don't get offended, I'm American. If you are going to get offended then you need to get thicker skin.

Another thing is that I'm tired of how the older brother in anime is always portrayed as the bad guy and looks down on the younger one. I'm offended because I'm the eldest sibling and I don't look down on my younger ones. So I made Takeshi the older, mature one, but is respectful and doesn't look down on his little brother, and Taro more aggressive, bad-tempered, and immature. Nevertheless the two have an interesting yet good relationship with one another and they are both helped by being by each other's side.

I know Takeshi and Taro both look like generic main characters which I like. I look like the generic main character and when people say they don't like them, I take offense. Also, I want Takeshi and Taro to both look more like Japanese boys. Angel and Nina get different hair and eye colors as one's American and one's part owl. Plus Angel looks like my dream girl and Takeshi looks like me. The main characters are also smaller than most of the villains to give a David and Goliath theme (No offense to big people). There will also be many flashbacks in this series too.

I want this anime to end on a great note because like my Endings Rant I think the ending is the most important part. I won't spoil the ending but I will make it leave everyone in awe. The characters will get the ending that I believe they deserve. Like I said, If this were an anime, the final theatrical film would finish off this series with a bang. Also, I want to cut the stupid perverted cliche scenes like falling in awkward positions but maybe have a few jokes. So under circumstances, exceptions, ifs, ands, or buts, NO FALLING INTO AWKWARD POSITIONS SCENES. I want this to be a great anime a good balance of action, fantasy, romance, emotional scenes, and a little comedy not some stupid fanservice, hentai, or ecchi. Teen Titans and Inuyasha balanced those out greatly which is why I really liked both of them.

I know this anime sounds very cliche like Inuyasha and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles but their themes are popular and have had success but I will need your ideas on how to make this better. I would like constructive criticism and feedback on this so feel free to give your ideas or suggestions. I want to make this as great and awesome as possible! Depending on how I feel I may or may not take your suggestions. For the names I haven't settled on I'd like to hear your take of which I should choose. If you want to ship the couples like in my last post feel free to. With the couples of Takeshi + Angel and Taro + Nina I want them to be the greatest couples ever. Like the very opposite of Twilight because that sucked! I want them be be greater than couples like Jack + Rose (Titanic), Inuyasha + Kagome (Inuyasha), and Sakura + Syaoran (CCS, TRC) combined!
