# wip inspirewrite

As long as it lives in the hearts of the faithful, will never die! And you gotta finish that man, because I want to read it so bad that I already know I want to watch the adaptation afterwards.

D4: ...are you SURE isn't still active? 😅 Pretty much all the visual influences for the current WIP are anime. There are many, but I think Ergo Proxy is closest to the general aesthetic. High action backdropped by a grim, grey-sepia palette.

D23: Haganai is an off-color, tasteless, questionable, ecchi school comedy. It also has some good things to say about the socially awkward, and how hard it is to make friends. I laughed, I cringed, I identified with it.

D11: played straight? Haven't seen Re:Zero, so I'll go with Rising of the Shield Hero, because I stuck with it the longest. Though it's honestly a 7/10 series at its strongest. Interesting frame, cool visuals, some semblance of character development...but I dunno man.

D7: Sweetness and Lightning. A widower struggles to produce good meals for his little daughter, until Kotori comes along. A student of his, her family owns a restaurant, but she can’t cook. So they learn together. It’s very sweet, very appropriate, with recipes.

WriteAnime D1: My Seiyū Dream Team

Sevardin - Unshō Ishizuka (Jet Black)
Alinore - Hitomi Nabatame (Nanao Ise)
Hace - Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki)

These characters also gives you an inkling idea of their character dynamic.

D27: RELICTION dives into the local folklore of the Erician (North American) First People who live in a reservation just north of Arroyo. Truth be told, I'm still researching and developing it. Incidentally, if anyone can recommend sources on Native American myths.... https://t.co/Pi57S6HhOC

D27: I'm gonna stop bitching about Bleach for 5 minutes and call out Eden of the East instead. Super intriguing set-up and cool ideas that quickly fizzled into shallow, semi-coherent political commentary. Maybe it just translated poorly, but plot seemed to go nowhere.

D24: I'm going to tag Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood again for this one. There are a few songs featuring choral accompaniment, but the overwhelming majority of the score is just classical instruments. As for my An acoustic guitar has the right feel and range.

D17: At opposite ends of the emotional spectrum, I am once again calling out Haikyuu and Violet Evergarden. The former is usually pure, inspiring joy, interspersed with moments of heartbreaking defeat, while VE is tragic catharsis reified in anime form.

D16: Without hesitation, "Song for Friends" from Little Busters. Should be classified as hazardous material. Doesn't help that Yuiko Kurugaya is my favorite character in that one, and that's the song that plays during her most serious scene.

D15: I'm freqently impressed by shows that tell a complete, developed story in one season; it's a rare thing in a medium used primarily to promote manga or light novel series. Toradora and Gurren Lagann spring to mind, but there are others.

D4: My own book is contemporary urban fantasy murder mystery with strong cop drama influences. But the world is informed by a fairly robust alternate history to account for the presence of magic, the Amagium, etc., and there are some other light sci-fi flourishes.

D4: I know I beat this drum all the damn time, but Bleach was at its best when Ichigo had to balance the grim reaper shtick and high school. Similarly, Fullmetal Alchemist slayed it with its European WW1 setting, steampunk technology, and carefully ruled magic system.

D5: Anime has a thing for mashing SF up with Westerns. It's all over the place. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Coyote Ragtime Show, etc.

Otherwise, probably the most common mashup in anime is "School Life + ______________."

D1: I’m Jay, glad to be here again. My wip combines the brooding backdrop and muted bleakness of Ergo Proxy, the callous transhumanism of Ghost in the Shell, and the retrofuture attitude of Cyber City OEDO.

Day 31: The Titans (Attack on Titan) are brutal and unique. Their often-ridiculous appearance and awkward movement only adds to the horror factor.

D28: Going with Gundam Wing again. Heero and Zechs had an interesting dynamic. Both were skilled and principled, but the Bad Guy upheld a status quo he saw as a necessary evil, while the Good Guy was cold, ruthless, and willing to do almost anything to dismantle it.

D22: In terms of sheer gear-heads, I was very fond of Nami in Full Metal Panic (wish they did more with her character). If we broaden the category to include engineers, Dr. J from Gundam Wing was a cool, eccentric mentor type. Sevardin is the best mechanic in my

D15II: When it comes to hunters? I have to go with Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard from Netflix's Castlevania. Sure, it wasn't produced in Japan, but the creators have repeatedly stated their inspiration was classic 90s anime, and I think they nailed it.
