Why not start by making a manga of it a few comics or so.Thats what i did when i had an idea even though i haven't submitted it yet cause really since where not in Japan i think its nearly impossible.

You never know. You could always try and enter your manga to the japanese Shonen Jump's yearly "amateur manga contest" or whatever it's called.

Yes. It's originally from French.

This is probably a bad idea; if you think your stuff is good enough to make it in print, you have a much better chance with Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga. Anything you submit to a Japanese talent-search contest will have to have all its dialogue and sound effects translated, assuming you write your originals in some other language. Translating sound effects will require someone intimately familiar with the conventions of the manga world *and* significant modifications to your original art. On top of this, the Japanese are sticklers for correct language in publication, and even with a native speaker doing the translation, you are still vulnerable to meaning being lost. If you don't have the dialogue translated by a native speaker, it'll likely contain at least one major error in usage which will get it immediately circular-filed.

In summation: Tokyopop's contest, while less 'authentic', gets many fewer entries and is offered in a language that you can speak and write. Your chance of winning may be small, but it is significantly larger than the chance of interesting anyone in the Japanese industry in something put together by a teenage gaijin.

Besides the lack of experience in age, there's also the fact that no one would pay to fund this to actually be animated. These shows cost thousands upon thousands of dollars to be animated, so there's no chance in hell that someone will put up the cash for this thing to be made.

And also, just wait a few years, and in the mean time practice writing. It really doesn't matter what, just so that you can improve, and in time, perhaps you'll be able to write something that someone will actually pay to have made. And I can almost guarantee you that in a few years you'll look back on this and think, "How could I have thought that I could actually get this animated?"

hey peoples check out her new idea in: my anime (redo)

Me and my friends are working on a new anime called Star Eclipse. i need some tips on how to get it on the air or on how to make the storyline more "complex"^_^..

The story is about a girl named Miachuasha. She's the princess or star planet. Her life consists manly of going to school, blowing up said school, and fighting. One day she meets an old man in the woods who tells her that he is the first of three guardians she is to have. Each of them will train her in eaither Love, Corage, or Sprit. after her first guardian dies after teaching her about spirt she meets her second guardian named Chao(not a ploy on sonic.) He's the guardian of corage Miachuasha falls in love with him and marries him. While in the market one day they come across a sorceress named Mayen. Mayen has both a good and a dark side and sometimes is friends with miachuasha and some times isn't. that is the basic shell of the first season.

Can you guys give me some opinions? Or tell me how you think i can get this aired?

It sounds good (the anime). I'm guessing the third guardian will come later?

Truly I need more info.
You should make a web page about this anime, without letting to much be known for security reasons.
In fact get a copyright now. Yes, a copyright, if this is serious then take care of everything.

Second keep updating on how everything is going.
Maybe in the future I'll invest in this venture.

My spidey sense tells me this is all the get rich quick scheme of a 14-16 year old who doesn' wanna have to get a part time job at the local burger joint.
