To figure out how people see things, i will leave "urban" open to interpretation. Do you see it as trash? Elaborate. Do you belive anime belongs only to japan and should stay that way? Do explain. How do you think it might be recieved? Any input is fine, i wanna see how people feel about the matter so i can get into the right frame of mind so to speak. Lol.
Boondocks is simply a pioneer. A vehicle, a gateway which, might open up multiple possiblities. More genres exist within genres I expected ppl to bring up boondocks. And lo and behold i was right. But theres untouched ground so much more. Boondocks, at its heart is an urban centric comedy, with pop culture and political elements thrown in. Allow me to open the box a bit more hypothetically speaking. Urban shonen example- the main character is part of a riot squad in a world that has been overcome with corruption and disorder, Urban slice of life example, a slightly more serious or light hearted take on the city/suburbs Urban fantasy example- a show that has an underlying theme of freedom of expression Urban ecchi/hentai- how about a more tasteful but sensual approach to the formula
Lets turn your horrid joke into a valid idea shall we? What about a western anime that stresses the importance of equality through an interesting narrative. A show that will make people reach deep inside to ask questions?
Open your mind. Imagine a world where animation in western society is praised just as much as live action. Not just sparingly. Imagine a world where you turn on your favorite urban animated show just to listen to the opening themes. A serious heart felt romance for the mature crowd? Bam! "Cosign" by SWV A risque hentai for the western frame of mind? Bam! "Anywhere" by 112 or even something else. A romantic shojo/shonen "good and plenty" by drama Etc, etc. Im glad i talked to you all, because now i wanna make those visions true.
You only make my determination stronger when you tell me that im mentally ill. "And im that little peak of hope, when my back is against the ropes, hey i made it, im the worlds greatest" XD I love messing with yall.
Welp, i got my equipment ready, im starting small, but i know what i saw in my thoughts its been a mindchild of mine since 2009. The only reason i diddnt act on it were many factors. In the meantime, im editing Since no one cares atm. I can confidently share a little about this ambition... once i grab my notes
