    Jaded young woman studies necromancy under the guidance of her grandma and revives the shy son of a Victorian-era noble, initially intending him to be her thrall. hijinks ensue and they end up accidentally falling in love.

    I’m thinking it would be a sort of dark comedy horror type situation, mostly revolving around the trials and tribulations of dating the living dead along with some fun fish out of water guy-from-the-past-meets-modern-day. Think billy and Mandy crossed with Kate and Leopold

    Humans start to get super powers, and others begin to randomly drop dead. Two girl best friends discover that one of them awakens to power. They decide to go on an adventure to stop the disease and save everyone. In the end it turns out that the disease can only be stopped by stopping the power evolution and killing everyone who has powers or ability to gain powers, or to let all non powered humans perish. The two have to make a choice.

        The ante is pretty high as is since it's basically, two best friends who love each other but cant both survive.
        Either girl with powers and others like her survive and all non powered humans die, or her friend with no power and all other humans survive, and powered all die.
        It's one or the other.

    A completely bog standard two opposite gender best friends wacky comedy shenanigans with a large cast of secondary characters cartoon. But, and this is the important part, it takes place entirely in a large nudist colony.

    I can't stress enough that the show is otherwise g rated outside the uncensored nudity. My main inspiration is certain French comics like the one with the little girl and bear. In fact I'd probably have to move to France to make this.

    so ok this is more of a short animated film than a show but here we go

    >Golden Bird

    >story:
    so it's basically the famous "The Golden Goose" story but instead of a real goose it's either a humanoid goose (like a goose girl or something like Medli from Zelda wind waker) or an anthro goose living with her human parent (dad or mom I don't see gender), so the parent showed love for since she was a little gosling (yes this is how they call little geese) but one day this Goose gave a golden egg and after that, the parents starts using her to get more golden eggs and after few months the parents starts seeing her as a product and a brand and not their daughter, a goose starts noticing that too.
    the movie ends with the parent going to collect the golden eggs and finds blood in the bed and the goose girl is not there (implying that she ended her life or got kidnapped) they start crying of course
    but (plot twist) the gose girl was learning to fly and she flew away leaving her abusive toxic parent behind.

    this is a commentary about the parents that use their talented children for their own benefit (Macaulay Culkin's dad as an example) and how they abuse their kids

    so yeah that's my cartoon

    Basically my idea is a murder-mystery in a town in Japan with a large US military presence (think Okinawa), the main cast are the teachers and students in an Eikawa school in the town, but especially a few select students in the English literature class. The class is taught by an American woman who was hired to replace a teacher who was found dead recently, and she’s in the middle of separating from a man stationed at the US Army base in town. Eventually the mystery surrounding the previous teacher’s death and the intrigue in the town would be uncovered. I would want to explore ideas of culture clash and global interactions.

    So real corny stuff ik

    I also have an idea of a heavy use of diegetic music involving songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, but that’s more of a personal preference

    • 11 months ago

      Also I have the arcs set up for each season roughly, as in Seasons 1-2 will deal with the school, Season 3 will deal with an incident on the base, and later seasons deal with more higher-up things like corruption during a city election and such. I still am sketching out the details, most of the characters I’ve thought up don’t even have names yet

    highly episodic adventure series following a male and female roomate, they're both terrible and violent people and the show has a cruel sense of humor. Sort of a dickish but perfect-for-eachother type of couple (though they vehemently deny it, with open and frequent conflicts. cue relationship tension). These two characters are mercenaries trapped by their low income and status within a comically evil future dystopia, (insert social commentary, action, and violence) and they make their pay doing odd jobs.
    I picture it being a black action-comedy, I think it could be poised very well to satirize grimdark sci-fi like warhammer or cyberpunk something, but honestly it wouldn't be difficult to build it from scratch either, since background lore outside the show itself doesn't matter (unless you're a nerd). I will acknowledge though like most open-ended adventure-y shows it does lend itself to paint a greater picture of the world that the characters live in, and whether its making fun of real world or fictional cultures or comic violence and cruelty, I've outlined character dynamics and a few episodes in my head.

    Resposting this one from an older thread.
    A mid-00s style action superhero cartoon set in the near future after people started being born with superpowers, the twist is that it's only been twenty years so all the superhumans are teenagers or even just kids. Adolescents with powers are allowed to use them to assist law enforcement in capturing the ones who use their powers in dangerous or illegal ways. The main character, Marvin Ellis, leads a team these teenagers but dreams of being a genuine superhero, together with his friends he fights teenage revolutionaries who want to oust the "geezers" in charge, an embittered team of retired fantastic four/challengers of the unknown-style super adventurers turned to crime, and a mad scientist who works with her own clowns as an illegal research team that supplies criminals high tech weapons, all while uncovering a conspiracy about a secret cabal of businessmen known as The Suits, who's goal is total control over the world's budding population of superhumans. Pic is, again, unrelated.

        More of a horror slice of life, where it's not a shounen kind of deal is more meant for adults.

        It's more him recounting his life in this new world with his family, and once he hits a certain age he is recruited to a war that has to be fought.

        At first it's not known what the war is all about, all you see is The main character given a projectile weapon, and slightly taught some basic magic, well having a confused look on his face thinking that he would be prepped.

        Magic is a skill, like any other skill you need to practice for hours and maybe even years to develop that particular skill, so just giving him and each individual person in that group that he's fighting with, a projectile weapon and a page of magic it would just be considered sending him/ them off to his death, as in he's just another body count that they could spare.

        There are no cheat magic, no cheat skills, so basically not like your regular Isekai from a shounen jump.

        There are horrors cryptids and spirits that reside in that universe but they're not the ones that we know about.

        So far that's why I got I was actually thinking of using it for the comic them making, and it actually separates the whole I am over powerful, cheat skill I am the best in that universe because a b and c.

    An adult comedy show about a neet and a fairy.

    In this world, there's a network of magical fairies that try to pull people out of their misery, ala Fairly Oddparents. Except this time, one fairy was assigned to a fat, nerdy, around 35 years old neet man who was about to off himself, thinking the whole world is against him.
    When the fairy appears, the neet man is flabbergasted and changes his mind, since he has not seen anything like this before and wants to know what this is all about. Only he can see the fairy, so if he tries to talk to her in public, he'd look crazy.
    The fairy tries to show the neet man the wonders of life as an attempt to make him at least a little bit happier.
    In each episode, the neet deals with usual everyday life problems, but now with the fairy accompanying him. His rambles about the state of the world and how rotten it has become would drive the fairy crazy sometimes, but he does appreciate that someone is willing to listen to him. As the show progresses, the man and the fairy would develop a strange kind of bond, and sometimes would even have genuinely friendly interactions.

    Personality-wise, the fairy is optimistic and can see the good in everything, but not obnoxious or annoying about it. She'll eventually have to learn that not everything can be solved with a positive outlook, and that sometimes it can even lead to a bad outcome. The neet man is depressed and deeply unhappy, has lost any reason to keep living, feels misunderstood by everyone and just wants to end it all. Seeing how the fairy herself is capable of change and maturing, and that he himself was the reason for that, the man does become a bit hopeful, seeing that he actually can cause a change in another person.
    At the end of the day, the fairy realizes that she herself is the one keeping the man happy, and so she decides to stay with him. Sure, she can come back home to her comforts, but concludes that keeping a human happy is far more important.

    >Texas is a big state but most people only focus on the big city regions or the grassland, but what about those small towns that you pass on your road trip across the state? What's it like growing up in an area not packed by tourist attractions or modern city culture?
    >Day in the life would be Peanuts meets The Weekenders with a smidge of Amazing World Of Gumball. It's about 4 tweens living in a medium sized Texas town and their lives, the comedic banter, and those coming of age moments but without the musshy stuff

      >Sam-age 13. The oldest kid but the smallest. He's wiser beyond his age, very snarky, and very relaxed. He'd rather just read a philosophy book or watch tv but get's dragged along for the ride. He acts like he's above it all, but has a fun side to him that comes out simetime
      >Mooney-age 11. The youngest kid but the biggest. He looks like he's 16 but acts like a 10 year old. He's loud, scatterbrained, speaks without thinking, and impulsive. He's the life of the party until it's not a party anymore. Then he's just annoying, which get's on his older brother Sam's nerves
      >Rebecca, age 12. The girly girl. She's polite, very happy and outgoing, but overly honest, not the mom of the group but she's the most normal of the group. She's all about fashion and style and always has a different haircut each episode. Don't give her sweets or she'll start acting like a cat, it get's weird
      >Vanessa Franchesca, Vuffy for short. age 12. She's the tom boy of the group. She get's under Sam's skin, always trying to one up him and pushes Sam's competitive side. She's always ready to cause trouble and get's hot headed over minor things.
      >Day in The Life would focus on situations like trying to get the last new comic when the comic store is miles away by foot, sam and vuffy competing at a ping pong tournament at the local rec center, Vuffy causing trouble with the high schoolers causing the 4 kids to be wanted all on one bad night, a search for water on a hot Texas day, or a day at state fair
      >Even though the series focusses on more sitcom level faire, what would make the series stand out would be it's hybrid animation style. 2D characters in a live action space. Texas has too many little quirks that can't be replicated in cartoony background art so might as well embrace the weird.

        I'll keep your critique in mind. When I mean Peanuts meets Weekenders with a smidge of Gumball this is what I'll mean
        >Peanuts: Quick but sometimes high brow humor, gag jokes and chill character moments
        >Weekenders: Characters will narrate the episode if the episode is through their point of view
        >Gumball: Multi media style. Slapstick
        >why would this appeal to anyone other than a certain subset of americans?
        The characters are what drive the story and environment is the vehicle of it. The characters have to problem solve in ways that a middle American/big city american show wouldn't. It has potential to appeal to a wider audience because it's not the average. A different perspective, like an all ages King Of The Hill.
        Tangent but I'm not really into this being a serialized series, so don't expect a big bad or an emotional part. It's just an episodic sitcom about kids growing up in a place that isn't the average. In an age where every cartoon about kids has a gimmick like time travel, fantasy, superheroes, multi verses, I just want a cartoon where kids are dumb and sit down at the sidewalk gutter

    In a chaotic dystopian world where violence is normalized and the police/justice system is useless, these 3 charlatans (left to right: Lids, Boxface and Mr. Mullet) kill people and then sell phony detective services to their loved ones.

    While all 3 are misanthropes, they have different degrees of it and conflict over their differing ideas. Mr. Mullet prefers to vet targets and pick people who he thinks make an active choice to be bad people, so he can "cleanse" the world one rotten soul at a time. Boxface on the other hand believes it's inherent to the human condition to be bad, and thinks Mullet's "picking and choosing" strategy is wimpy; he'd rather they go after anyone indiscriminately. Lids is their secretary, her main joke being that she doesn't talk despite having to man the phones. She's good at settling their disputes merely by being super intimidating and creepy with her body language, and somehow her eyes-closed glares easily unnerve. I have a lot of backstory stuff figured out for the 3 of them but not too relevant here.

    It's a dark splatter comedy with a lot of gore. Heavy Superjail/Oblong influence and is in many ways what I wanted and thought Helluva Boss was gonna be before it went in the whole woobie Stolas direction.

    Working on a larger IP right now that's got a few animation-suitable characters. Contemplated contacting an artist and putting out a pilot for marketing reasons. Larger setting is bog-standard superhero shit ranging from a Silver-Age esque emergence during WW2 to a modern setting more in line with something like Invincible, where superhumans are just a part of life.
    1. Agents of the Outback - A top secret military organization composed of talking mammals and birds fights an evil terrorist group composed of talking lizards in a G.I. Joe-style war in the Australian Outback. The Australian people are unaware it is happening and the universe's Animal Man equivalent is the team's handler. Drawn similarly to a Saturday morning cartoon from the 90s but with high-intensity action sequences.
    2. NYC Vampire Thing - in this universe a hero who could open portals to other worlds fricked up and interdimensional vampires took over the NYC crime families in the 1970s. this would either focus on a superhero team trying to get to safety over one long night (a la the warriors) or on a group of heroes trying to assault the city to take it back. art style probably closer to castlevania's Netflix adaptation but with no pesky fetish shit to derail it. I did this to New York so I wouldn't be tempted to put a lot of stuff there and so in canon the vampires maintain control for about 50 years, so if it was the latter scenario they'd almost be dealing with a vampire nation-state once night fell.

    I actually have begun work on both but I have so little artistic talent that I have considered using curated AI generations fitting my vision to provide concept art for some Twitter goon to do the rest... might be easier to wait for the collapse so I can just pick them out of bread lines

    Kids that fight monsters and solve mysteries but each kid is based on a different genre of fiction. Characters include:
    >Fantasy boy - Main protagonist and youngest of the bunch, came straight from the middle ages to modern times due to fey magic. Wields a makeshift magic sword he made himself(a magic wand combined to an old sword blade)
    >Martial arts boy - Oldest kid and kind of a delinquent(bancho archetype) and tries to keep the cool persona but deep inside he's a goofball. Is deathly afraid of ghosts(you can't punch ghosts)
    >Witch girl - Nerdy bookworm that's really into romantic literature and has crush on medieval boy, the way she sees it he's literally her knight in shining armor who'll bring her to a world of adventure. When he notices this he understands that, being from a different era, he needs to love her back in order to protect her honor... it doesn't really work in the end. Eventually she gets admited into a hidden magic school
    There are more characters but it's getting late here and I need to go to bed. Maybe I'll expand on it another day if anyone's interested

    The Misadventures of Quappo and Bun-B is about a cartoon octopus and his best friend, a schizophrenic lion- rabbit, as they do hard drugs and go through misadventures in the streets of New York.

    Born or of New Yorker cartoons, they often leave the cartoon ghetto, as this is a world where cartoons entered the human world and formed their own human ghettos after immigrating. Big stars are here too, but are only mentioned in passing and pop culture references. In most episodes, quappo or bun-b die a tragic and sometimes heroic death, only to episodically be resurrected next episode. It is revealed later on that Quappo and Bun-B are stuck in a season 1 time loop that canonical restarts every time you watch the series.

    The pilot is about Quappo and Bun-B surviving the apocalypse. They get to a bunker with crack speed (as when the air sirens blared they were smoking crack) and the residents are scared, as quappo has a gun in his hand. Bun-b explains that he was simply born with it and that he has a heart of gold. It flashes back to a maternity ward where a cartoon is being birthed from a human mother. The doctor runs screaming, "oh shit, baby's got a fricking gun!!" As gunshots ring out. Quappo notes this is the first and only time he ever used his gun. They get kicked out, and bum-b sacrifices himself for quappos sake and quappo goes back to the bunker triumphant over the bunkers enemies, and is promptly told to leave anyway. He wanders the desert until the time loop restarts.

    Quappo is a tough inner city thug with a heart of gold, voiced by a tough sounding black guy. Because I'm half white he can't say homie though. Bun-B sees visions, much like how he sees a vision of the apocalypse seconds before while smoking Crack. These visions are never helpful and oftentimes, quappo calls this out.

    The one who put them in this tineloop is Dr. Eickman II, a trusted friend who occasionally helps them on their adventures.

    >In the ruins live these little elemental spirits/golems/creatures, who are sort of born out of thin air from time to time. They've formed a society and it's a peaceful life
    >That is unless you count the fact that one, the pit occasionally spawns monsters who are more like voids in reality, two there's also a lot of knowledge in that pit, and three these elementals are remarkably curious.
    >We follow the journey of a newborn light elemental as he experiences an incredibly traumatic event and tries to find a way to overcome said trauma by learning more about the world, becoming better at what he does, and forming actual meaningful relationships with the people around him

    A group of Japanese ameriboo girls take off to LA in pursuit of living out their fantasies, but are in for a rude awakening.... the episodes will consist of the different types of culture shocks they experience while in America.
    The 3 girls will encompass different types of American culture.
    One of them likes redneck culture and wears MAGA hat while carrying around a gun (which is actually just an airsoft gun).
    One of them likes black culture and wears cornrows and hoop earrings while listening to hip hop.
    And the last one carries a Paris Hilton bimbo aesthetic and dyed blonde hair, not realizing she's 20 years too late.

    It's about a suicide hot-line operator.

    It's really dark because he doesn't give a shit about the callers but still gives them great advice.

    The entire first season is about him learning to give a damn about people due to the 90-second rule: a rule that you have to spend at least 90 seconds talking to someone you flag as suicidal to help them and get as much information as possible to save them.

    Name it after a Beatles song and everyone will call it great: "You say Goodbye when I say Hello"

    3D CGI tough guy character named Walter falls in love with a rubberhose toon girl named Betty when they meetup at the annual "Cancelled Shows Anonymous" meetings. One of the members, Kathy, rats them out to the fuzz. They then have to run from the Animation Authority, as interdimensional love is forboden and 2D is seen as "inferior" to 3D animation. Antics ensue. Series finale is a boss fight against the final boss of AA, assisted by the allies they've gained along the way. After he is defeated, the guy and girl remake Animation Authority and rename it to "Fourth Wall Cinema", focusing on blending 2D and 3D animation styles and bringing about a Renaissance to the Cartoonverse.

    a generic kids comedy staring a group of teenage friends in a medium sized town.

    The funny part for me will be the gimmick of resolving 100% of relationship plots and drama entirely off screen. You'll never see a second of awkward getting together or dramatic breaking up. Every five episodes or so the characters will just switch up who they are calling boyfriend/girlfriend and holding hands with without giving you any of the details. By the time the show ends everyone in the main friend group will get with everyone else at least once.

    The setting is a... medieval fantasy universe where animals have created complex civilizations.
    The plot is about... two nations at constant war with each other, and the protagonist lives in a border town that is soon to be destroyed.
    The protagonist must... use their charisma and powers of persuasion to save the day and broker a peace between the new nations.
    Along the way they will be joined by... a drunk Scottish goose, a sultry otter, and a sarcastic crow.
    The main villain will be... a scheming coyote tribal leader.
    The tone will be... heartfelt and violent.
    The show will be... cancelled after one season.

    I've had this idea for a while now. I don't really know how long it would be so I'm just going to talk about the overarching narrative. ideally it would take up multiple seasons but who knows.

    in short: A slice-of-life show that slowly descends into a war film, general themes of naive innocence vs harsher realities, more or less a criticism of modern political rhetoric as a whole, coming from an ameritard who is involuntarily exposed to the U.S political structure and the major points of debate around it.
    I think it would work best as an animated show, 3D or 2D, mainly because cartoons are often associated with innocence, I think having the visual style contrast with the uncomfortable violence would work well to reinforce the themes of the show if done correctly, perhaps you could work the style from a light-hearted one into a darker, gritty version of itself as the series goes on.
    pieces of entertainment that come to mind in terms of inspiration would probably be Come and See, first and foremost, as well as more traditional war movies like Mosul or smthn, but also more kid-friendly, general-audience shows like bluey, or that show that shall not be named.
    The breakup of Yugoslavia and the Bosnian war as a whole would also be a pretty significant inspiration in terms of historical events
    lastly this doesn't need to have/shouldn't have explicitly "human characters", but more or less they should be designed with the point that people could relate to them in terms of innocence on some level.

    I have more notes on this on the plot points of this if people want to read them. I don't have the ability to turn this into a proper thing people could watch anyways, at least according to my vision.
