CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

i was wondering all you anime fans!!! have you ever made your own anime?!? to the point where you draw it and wish you could publish it one day?!? if so..tell me?!? oh and if you have pics of it, post em!!

Yeah I've done that!
I make my own comics for my school and family!
I don't have a name for it though!>__<

I'll try and find a piccie of my characters later to show you!

My characters are:

Cloud(Male)
Tomato(Male)
Rei(Female)
Kira(Female)
and their doggie Joey!

I started a RPG-Game / Anime with RPG Maker 2000 before. It was called, The Battle Of Ky. It started out as a chat-based RPG game, then lead to a digital-real game! The story is about this one guy fighting for his country. I didn't get real far, and forgot most of the names. Lol.

My other anime I started (really was just a manga) was about vechicals combing in to a giant mech called 'XIANIKO'. This was a while back I started working on it, but now I might work on it some more. I am leaning Flash and I might start a anime inspiried flash game on it.

Some other ones too like, Cyber 6, KaBoOmZ!, School of Doom...ect.

Right now I am working on a somewhat, anime, Flash animation. Called, Four Ordinary Kids. It will feature special guest in every episodes. More info on that some other time! (and other thread!) :-)

I enjoy making my own stories, or anime/manga. Some times it stems from seeing an anime that I thought could have been better, and then I rewrite the story to where I am satisfyed with it.
Other times, I just dream up stuff. I make some sketches of what I want the characters to look like. But it generaly doesnt go much farther than that.
I guess I just get distracted.

I should post the out line of my latest one, and see what people think.

How about you HikariChan? Do you ever make your own? I have see some of your art work, were those some of your characters?

im in the process of doing that. I'm going to college next year to learn computer design and animation.

I have created well 2 mangas that are still work in process but I hope to convert them to anime.

"Minajoroushiijou: Bear No Shadow". Think Rurouni Kenshin meets Noir meets Cowboy Bebop meets Naruto and you that. A Samurai anime thats based in a old time setting of Japan after the world was almost destroyed but still with ancient technology such as guns, bombs,a nd stuff.

It's bout a guy who once killed during a Civil War in Japan and fought for this army as thier commander. He used a sword which glowed red. Now after many of years, the government has changed and he lives his life as wandering Japan without a sword. He bumps into a young girl and soon, his whole world falls around him has he gets mixed up with bad guys and meets friends.

and then Space Detective Go-Go which is very Cowboy Bebpoish-Outlaw Star-ish and also has a detective movie type feeling (think Tracer Bullet from Calivin and Hobbes)

It's bout a guy who is given the job by a client to retrive stolen treasure form him. he retrieve one treasure and turns out to be a young girl whom is his clients grand daughter. With her, he ventures deep into space to retrive the last treasure which is a key to riches and he meets some crazy guys along the way and he finds out his whereabouts of his long-lost brother who is trying to kill him.

Sounds cool Hitokiri!

Very cool indeed. Is there a copy somewhere that we can read?

Some times I find writing a script hard. I want my work to glorify God some how. But I never seam to come up with a story whose base is a theological one. Most of the time, they have nothing to do with God at all; only that most of the characters share the same morals as Christians. Is that really enough?

What do you guys think?

I find it hard to write a cript or a story with a Christian background. I try to but I end up not able to for some odd reason. I might try it again.

I would put my stuff on the net if I had a scanner.

Though heres the character listing for each

Minagoroshiijou: Bear no Shadow

Onimusha Naihatsu
Age: 28
Height: 5'10
Weight: 180 lbs.
Hair/Eyes: Brown/Brown
Fighting Style: Onimusha Munesanzun Seishougihou
Unique Ability: His ability to use spirit energy


-Bio-
Their was infamous fighter that went by the name Doeraiakki. This fighter led the rebellion to a better Japan but disappeared in the mist of time. That was 10 years ago and a fighter, said to be just like Doeraiakki has emerged and this new fighter is Onimusha Naihatsu. Having basically the same type of attack and even the same fighting style. He has the awesome ability to use energy locked deep inside him to use it as an extension of his own body called Spirit Energy. Doeraiakki was a quiet but cold-blooded killer who followed orders and had no regret in killing. However Onimusha is a kind and caring guy whoose comedic personality lightens the mood. Onimusha is a man of confusing virtues and his ways are secret. It was said after Doeraiakki left, he was wearing the same outfit Onimusha wears. Many believe this is the same Doeraiakki while others believes he was a student of the famous fighter while others thinks he’s just a wannabe.

His history is very shrouded. Because he came out of the mist of time, no one knows who he is or any family relations. If he is indeed the Doeraiakki, his parents were killed when their small mountain village held a rebellion towards the government and the soldiers came in and killed not just the rebels but all the other villagers as well. Doeraiakki who was only 3, was the only one who survived and was never seen again for 15 years later when he came back into Japan with a tremendous power and fought against the “oldâ€

wow^___^'
thats great Kawaii, Kenchii, Hitokiri, and Kanji!!!
i am glad!

How about you HikariChan? Do you ever make your own? I have see some of your art work, were those some of your characters?

Dont read my post if you dont want to read somthing long!!!
accctually yes i have!! its called PpX3. Ever since 6th grade i have had the same anime in my head for so long! i really cant give you the whole scoope on it cause it would take forever!! but i can give yea short summery!!

This is going to be long!!!!!!

ok (i dont have dates yet) there is "Earth" (also called the dying flower) and its colonies!
and there is other planets, "Juria"(a planet with humans but supernatural powers) and another called "Epsilon" ( a planet of beast that want to kill all humanity) now most people from earth live on the colonies. by this time there is ppl with elemental powers.
the Galaxy police fore that protects the colonies are called the S.S.G.
within the S.S.G are the "PpX3" (Party Pair Times 3) PpX3 contains the main characters.

let me take you back!! a long time ago there was a space bandit called "Asuka"(she had elemental powers) distroyed many planets and couldent be stoped (blah blah blah) was finally captured bye the great pristise of Juria "Aoi". Aoi and Asuka use to be great friends so Aoi didnt kill Asuka. instead Aoi sentenced Asuka to be reborn as a normal human without any memories and be sent to live on earth.

afterwards... the reincarnated Asuka was born on the islands of hawaii as a girl named "May".
as she grew up she made friends with Palmaru and Rikku. when she was 6 Asuka's powers came back to life and May was unable to control them and she accidentaly killed her parents. May didnt know what she had done. everyone else thought the parents commited suicide. the only person who knows that she did it was Palmaru. but he told no one. afterwards may lives with Rikku. later on the may finds out about her powers(blah blah blah)
and see's an opening to the PpX3 and moves from the island leaveing her friends behind (at the age of 14 this happened).

she makes the force. and thats when she meet Starla and Yuna. Starla the princess of Juria and disindant of Aoi, and Yuna is the princess or Earth. they are all in PpX3 and they fight the bad people of Epsilon (blah blah blah). now how the romance come's in is that May hasnt seen Plamaru for 3 years and Plamaru comes and joins the S.S.G. and then Rikku come's! she likes both and cant decide who she likes.

now i have an end but i cant tell yea'll cause my story sux! i didnt give any detail because that would be so long so yea.... i love it so much!!

Characters:

i am going to edit this post and put the characters here soon!

(may is the gurl with green hair in my drawings!!!!)

That sounds awsome Hikarichan!!!!

I like the way your story is shaping HikariChan, keep at it. The beginning and ending can be the hardest parts. You want to draw your viewer in right away, and then you don’t want to build up all this suspense in the middle only to let them down by a mediocre ending.
Im sure you will get it right.

My concern about writing something that doesn’t have to do with God is what if it’s really good. What if lots of people wanted it, and they spend lots of money, make clubs and even wacky cults for my anime? What if some one finds some “hiddenâ€

thats great Kanji!! i see what you mean! oh and thanks for the compliment Kawaii!

see my story mostly revolves around May because she is so strange. most people think she is insane because she hears voices in her head and at the end.... well yes i will say the end.... at the end Rikku confesis his love to may when hes dying and then he dies. May wished she could cry because has never cried in her whole life because she's not able to
(for some reason). then after fighting a real big bad guy and you know shes going to die. well before the fight she thought Plamaru was killed by the monster
(she fell in love with plamaru) so when she comes gliding down(covered in blood) to the ground after the monster dies plamaru finds her and go's to her. he hugs her. they are speecless. in her head the voice's in her head are saying stuff like plamaru, alive.
(with different tone of voice's) and at the end the voice's all come together saying i love you. then the voice's all of a sudden stop( they have never stoped before)
afterwards she smiles and cover's her ear's(showing that the voice's had stoped)
then she looks at palmaru and starts to cry. then she leans on his chest and say's his name softly. then a transparent image of herself floats out of her into the sky.
afterwards like 3 months later, you see starla and yuna at in a big room at starla's palace. then you see a big crystal (verticaly standing up) with may inside of it.
starla and yuna start talking about the good old times and talk about how may is still alive just that shes in a coma and that one day she will wake up. then when they leave the room theres a close up on may then another close up on may's face.
then her eye's slowly open up and then it's over.

i left the ending like that so then a movie can follow up for the very end!
man i wish i could give more detail cause....yea....
sorry that its long

IDEA!!!!

Let me know if I’m way out of line by this, but I had an idea for your story. This just kind of popped into my head as I was reading your last post.

It seams that the fact that May cannot show emotion (or cry) is a returning theme. What if, instead of crying when she is on the verge of death with Palmaru, as the voices stop, she is finally able to really feel loved by another. Since she can barely move, Palmaru holds her close and though he is sad, May is finnaly happy. Happy that the voices have stopped, happy that Palmaru is alive and happy that they are together one last time. The scene ends with May cuddled closely in Palmaru’s arms, a look of rest or relief on her face.

Ok, so in the last scène, when she is incased in the crystal, and her friends are talking about how much they care about her, and miss her, then when they leave the room, the shot closes in on May’s face, and you see that one tear stream from her closed eyes. Even in her Coma, she has done it, she is finally able to feel.

The screen goes black, and the credits role.

What do you think? Maybe? Well, just an idea. Sorry to pry into your work. ^^

-kaji (not kanji)

I've made alot of them... they just float around in my head in hopes that someday I'll be able to actaully MAKe them XD

If you want anime ideas, I have plenty of them. This one I was pondering about recently has religious aspects which lead to me pondering about theology and ultimately lead to me joining this forum. But the religious aspect mainly have to do with the world that this takes place in and possible sequel I've considered. The main one is more of "ordinary guy surrounded by pretty girls" type of occaison. The setting is very complicated is confusing but i'll try to outline this story as best as I can.

It takes place on this alternate world, very much like our own. It takes place when this world is roughly on par with our level ot technology. The deal is that god created out world as well as this world and he may have made more but none of these worlds have ever crossed paths in the slightest and they possibly never will. And of course, jesus paid a visit to this planet nearly 1024 years before our story starts (while he did not reveal that there are other world he visited). Anyway, before jesus came along people where pretty indiferent about theology but after he came along he traveled all over the world preaching about things. 512 years after he was born, a prophet came along who prophesized his return and wrote in this very confusing book that makes the book of revelations look like "how to use your bic pen". Of course, no one knows for sure what these prophecies mean exactly, but before this story begins three or four prophets came forward (within two years of each other) and it is widely believed that after a few more come along jesus will return. Anyway, these prohpets are treated with great respect by the people, guys want to be them, girls just WANT them, and many believe that the main chracter might just be one of them. For he is a traveler who one day came across this Church/school like place in a desert the day after the high pristess was told that a prophet will join them the next day (in the last episode its revealed that this prophet asked the hero for directions to this church but the hero accidently sent him in the wrong direction)so when the main character shows up everyone thinks hes the prohpet.

And now for the stuff thats actually important. As it turns out, this place is a training ground for girls striving to be prisstessess or nuns or various other psoitions in the church where celibacy is NOT a requirement. (emphasis on the positions that don't require celibacy) So as it turns out, a lot of the girls (theres two hundred, all aged 12-18) fall in love with him and think he's great and all but since he's a total perv (not really, he just gets into unfortunate/fortunate situations a lot) They start to hate him. but he's dtermined to win the heart of this one girl in particular. And after much Ken Akamatsuish hijinks the story comes to a close, its determined hes actually not a prophet but the girl decides she likes him anyway so they fall in love and get married and all that junk.

I can ramble on and on about the setting of this story and the circumstances surrounding the prophets and stuff but it'll bore you all to death and I dunno if it'll appropiateish enough.

Oh, and I got the ideas from Love hina, rune soldier, and this one episode of wild arms.

I have a comic strip that I draw for my wife once in a while. It only has two characters in it, Super Wife, and Danger Dude. Super Wife is a super powered wife who is constantly trying to defend the world from numerous threats, but always ends up having to save Danger Dude (her husband who thinks he is a super hero, though he has no super powers) instead.

They are short and silly, but my wife likes them, so I make them. ^^

-kaji

That's funny, Kaji. ^__^

I've made lots of stuff, but my current project is a manga/fantasy-style Romeo and Juliet. It started out as an assignment for a British Lit class, and sort of continued afterwards. Other stories include doujinshi-type stuff and things like that, though I'd like to do an allegory manga someday.

Thats so cool Kaji!
I do a comic for my friends at school and my family.
It has um..........8 characters,sometimes more!
But in a real sense theres 4 main characters.^__^

I used to write loads of original stories, about anime.
I even posted of 'em here in caa. probably if I had the chance I'll post one again.

Oh I've got a brilliant idea for an anime. I can't tell you what its about cuz its gonna be my claim to fame (hopefully) when I get my career in animation going. Watch out for my future works though everyone!

Just my novel and my manga-influenced web-comic.

My novel is something that I don't necessarily intend to become an anime, just a novel, but if people wanted to make a movie out of it or a series, I'd want it to be anime-like. That is... semi-anime. You see, I'd like the animators to copy or come close to my personal art style - which has some anime influence, but is really my own. My art style, especially for the illustrations I've been doing for my novel come closer to a "storybook" look - not like anime, not like Disney, not like any cartoons I've ever seen. However, the story of my novel is something that would fit the "anime" sophistication of being "not-kiddie". My novel's something that can be marketed to either adults or to young adults... so I think if a movie were made of it, it wouldn't be off-limits to kids. It would be kind of like how the Lord of the Rings movies are (not that my novel is anywhere near the level of the LoTR books!!!)... just.. PG-13, not totally off-limits to kids, but.. not kiddie, either. I hope people understand what I mean.

Then, there's my web-comic thing... The art in it is my own style, but probably more anime/manga like than my novel art. I am heavily inspired by manga with drawing it. As an animted series.. it would definitley be anime - and definitely not for kids. It has intense themes and is quite gorey.


Both my stories have Christian underpinnings. I try not to make them too overt, though. There are just some instances where the characters talk about what they believe. In my webcomic, for instance... the main character is an athiest, but his adoptive family are Christians, so stuff about God comes up in it quite frequently.

OMG Kanji!! thats great!! i have never thought of it like that! thats great!
sorri i havent been on this thread in a while and all of you ideal's are great!!!
thats a great story hitokiri!
Colbalt angel you should post you storie!!!
Thats a really neat storie NeoAssasin!

You should post your story Haibane!!

Well, a friend of mine and I like to imagine what anime we would produce if we could, and our latest idea is equal aprts Skies of Arcadia, Trigun, and Outlaw Star. It focuses on two heroes (myself and my friend) going on a quest we haven't decided on to find/defeat something/someone we haven't decided. (Hey, we only started on this one yesterday).

My character is named Gabriel Cross. He's a kind young gunsmith who lives a rather peaceful life in a small port town. He is affectinately referred to as the town's "guardian angel" because he uses his skills with his custom weapons to fend off air raiders (pirates) that occasionally attack. However, one day, a strange adventurer rolls into the usually quiet town, where he and Gabriel become fast friends and set off on said quest.

My friend hasn't worked a lot on his character yet, but we've decided he's going to be equal parts Vash the Stampede, James Bond, and Jack Sparrow. So he should be an interesting complement to Gabriel's quiet, calm demeanor.

One of the big features that will make our story stand out will be, like Trigun, the weapons. Gabriel is a walking armory, with deringers up his sleeves, 7-shot revolvers, an energy gun about the size of a sawed-off shotgun, and an antivehicle slug shotgun measuring 5 feet in length In one planned "episode", the duo infiltrates a lush Vegas-style casino, at which point Gabe dons a tux with built-in submachine guns ala that one dude from an early Trigun episode (where we see Vash dodge bullets). My friend Rob's character carries two energy pistols that look like short lever-action rifles, as well as various spy gadgets, some serious, some not so (one close-range weapon is a small metal boxing glove on a scissor-style extending mechanism concealed in the sleeve). I'm certainly open to help if anyone wants to help with ideas, I plan to turn this into a story and hopefully a game.
