What do you look 4 in a anime?

A plot that deals with a real world myth, and is so complex, you can't tell what's going to happen. Good animation's always a plus, too. Yeah, a bit of humor and romance, but nothing so apparent it sticks out like an e-flat in a g major scale. Dark stuff... good...

I'm seriously considering writing a fanfic like I mentioned, LOL: only thing is, I know next to nothing about LOTR or Eva so my characterizations of those characters wouldn't be the best (since I'd be working from plot synopses and whatever rather than from actually having watched the anime)

LOL. . .or maybe I just need to go somewhere and sleep for a long, long time. :P

Good luck on your anime! I'm personally designing a manga that has a lot to do with prejudism and how quickly our loyalties fall apart, and I think the world of it, if that helps.
I think in this insecure world, people want to hear truth, see good action, and something with morals. I DON'T think many will admit it. If you try to incorporate romance, plz, PLZ start subtly, as it will ease and captivate your audience, probably better than if you start with a raunchy love scene.

Wiser words have rarely been spoken. While ecchiness and overdone fanservice might draw some people to your anime, most likely they will chase away the kind of fans you really want, and I have to agree that the animes that are most well-written and that will doubtless be considered the "classics" of the genre are the animes that make the viewer think.

The outright pr0n stuff might have its day, but I'm betting that 30 years from now, most of it will be forgotten, while there will still be people wanting to watch anime that has good plots, interesting characters, and makes you think.

i though of making an manga myself, but stopped because something very important... i cant paint well lol... so add this to the list:
1. good paintings/sketchings. (i believe that sketch is enough for a good manga... if the manga is good, but well... maybe im wrong...)

I look for an anime with full characters, a captivating plotline, and just enough action to keep you in awe. I also have a huge weakness for tragic anime, and I'm not much of a fan of completely love or humor plotted anime(Love Hina, Tenchi Muyo).
I love anime that makes me think, and that makes me want to write.

You need something truely orginal don't use robots, db(Z,GT) type of things or repeat of basic concepts(sp?)(Cowboy Bebop, Trigun) I like >hack\\sign because there no really with that type of style.
But alway include humor, action, romance, and tradgity.(all anime include at least a little bit of it)

How exactly is Trigun and Cowboy Bebop repeating the basic concepts? I also see nothing wrong with using robots. I'd rather see robots used than see people do things without limits like they do in DB. At least with robots u get the limit.

The basic concept is that the main characters have do kill the one that they use to look up to. Vash having to kill knives and Spike having to kill Vicious. in addition they where made by mostly the same people. but when when jem is killed it at the begining of the sieres and skipe girl was killed at the end. Also at the end Vash learns to listen to his own advice while spike learns to listen to others advice. But overall in my oppion they have the same bacis concepts

Nvm for a sec I thought u were talking about the religious implications and such -_- my bad
And oh, Vash can't, and probably won't kill Knives... they are brothers, and Knives nor Vash has the guts to kill the other. In the end of the series, Knives was not dead, but just bandaged by Vash.
