Hmmm, are you by any chance related to GrantM15, that user who makes a futile attempt to enter into the English dubbing industry and not listening to any plausible reason of why you just can't enter nonchalantely and annoying half the users in various forums?

Just a suggestion. If you have a university or college near you, that teaches vidiography, there may be some students that would use your script as a class project. My son in law did this for his class project. He used stop motion with clay figures. He found a "producer" to help fund his production. He hired some voice actors, actually some people he knew, who voiced the production. He did all the filming himself, with sets and equipment he made, and it turned out quite well. Some art and video students may enjoy working with you.

I have no idea who this person is and this is just a small project I do in my spare time. The point of this thread is to ask if its possible to produce and how hard it would be to do so. If this project actually becomes anything other than a file on my computer it would probably become a novel if it's so difficult to get it produced as an anime show. Here's one more question for everyone. I'm just a beginner in this anime stuff but for the few series that i have seen among the sea of anime out there, i have a sense of what anime is and this idea is written in that style. The question would be if there are any novels out there that are written in this style and if anyone has read them. Basically if there are any books that would work as an anime series.

The Gundam universe has a couple novels - I even think one or two of them may be out in the states. Fullmetal Alchemist has a novel as well but I'm not sure if that's been brought over.

There is at least 1 Tenchi Muyo novel out there but I have yet to hear of an American release. Seeing as my Japanese is basicly non-existent I've yet to read it. Although I would still buy them if I could find it.

"anime style" usually refers to artwork, not story-line...

Does your idea have to be exclusively anime-ish? You could try to make it into a comic or graphic novel--Neil Gaiman included one of his scripts within volume three of Sandman, which could be used as a good example. Then again, I have virtually no idea how any of these industries work, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

As for novels based from in anime I know that there's Vampire Hunter D, Robotech, and a few others. Not sure if they did well commercially. Although, Boogiepop Phantom is a good example of an anime based off an acclaimed Japanese novel.
