Ideas That I Wish I Came Up With Earlier

Again we're taking a look into some background in my pitch ideas. I've mentioned earlier how I try to incorporate things that I've never seen done in my pitch ideas. Some of my original ideas were the seal circle techniques, Cage's shadow soul trait, the Blessed, giant robots duking it out to defeat a monster but end up defeating it in the process of beating each other up and helping wandering ghosts out so that they can be put to rest or exorcized. However despite my ability to think I've been beaten to the punch by Hollywood or other animes.

Hollywood beat me to one of my pitch ideas, if you've been keeping up with movies I'll explain the premise of this idea. Theres one target with a huge bounty on thier head, and hitmen, mercenaries and bounty hunters all want the bounty. So its a mad chase to kill the target and fight off one another to get the bounty. Sound like any movie that's been out recently? Well if you hadn't guessed it, thats the basic plot of Smokin Aces. I would have loved to make a anime pitch idea about this, but I know when I've been beaten.

Anime powers are something that I think about constantly. When you think about it most good animes have characters with abilities or powers that are completely original. Not like your cliche powers like lazer vision, super strength (Marc's an exception, he was born naturally strong so its not a power), super speed and energy attacks. One power that I wished I thought up was the ability to control your bones. Naruto beat me with that with Kimimaro, I was amazed by his ability to control his bones and not have a set amount of bones like a normal person. Also Bleach beat me to making your sword more powerful by learning its name. Its a neat idea, normally in most movies, shows or anime the weapons people use are just props for killing. But in Bleach a sword (or zanpaktou) is an actual being. Its a character's partner and they draw power from each other. Plus its cool when you hear a character give the release order and then shouting thier sword's name.

Well at this time these are some of the things that I wish I'd thought up of. So hopefully I pass my driving test next Wednesday and then I'll post up the pitch idea for B\/G. So I'm going to sleep now since I'm tired. G'night
