I plan on writing my own manga/anime. Do you guys have any original plot ideas?

sweet. Try blending in japanese setting with story from ancient greece or ... better yet war of roses in england.

or you can make Akira Kirosawa's ( Ran )movie about the three sons who turned against each other, into manga!

remember that manga sells well if it emPloys ideas of: Shinto, religion were everything has a sPirit.

Cool. And I guess I could write another one entitled "Black Death"; where I could fictionalize the plaugue.

black death is too gruesome, it will not attract much attention.

Need some catchy title..not dePressing, and original.

What do you mean? Like post it when I'm done? Or the plot? If the fomer, sure. If the latter, i haven't decided yet.

no just post an anime guy standing sideways. Let me see that you can actually draw anime. And what ur style is.

people like anime w/ most details, and this takes the most time, but sells the best.

they like to see cool original clothes, graceful moves. happy/full of expression faces.

Oh i can draw. But I haven't tried to draw Anime yet. I plan on paying some pro to do it, if I go the manga route.

its not worth it. be part of a professional company, like VIZ.

So they'll draw it for me?

no, there are many jobs in anime industry. Not just drawing. Coordinating. DVD creation. supervision. voicing. translation. You just got to fit it, tell them ur idea (if you have one), find the right people, make sure they work for you and the company. And work under a roof of that company.

I see what you're saying. I'm not moving to San Fran. There has to be a more indirect way, heh? Could I just email them my idea? Probably not, huh?

So emailing them my idea will suffice? Or are you saying that I have to work for the company in order to network?

no.

this will suffice:

meet all their criteria. (they list it under the job options)
email them about wish to apply for a job
work for them under another project
after a while tell them of your idea
and work up the ladder.

I found a fudgin' Staff Accountant job at Tokyo pop. Son of a Witch. But they require experience. That would have been killing two birds with one stone. LMBO.

...

Well, I'm first going to try completing story. I'm not going to worry about working for the companies because it would mean taking a big reduction in pay; you know working as some aide.

So what abouth some manga scifi next to gantz there doesn't seem to be anything worth mentioning.
