A Look Into A Pitch VI (Because I'm Bored)

Well heres another look into one of my anime ideas that isn't a pitch III. Today we will be looking at Mercenaries Suite. My vision for it all was based off the ending to the first Pirates of the Carribean, so if you haven't watched that movie then don't read this post yet. Anyways, the way I wanted pirates to end is I wanted Will Turner to turn his back on the girl he once loved and become a pirate. However it didn't end up that way and instead we got two other movies where he acts as an "unofficial pirate".

In some ways I wrote this idea in hopes of showing that what if a man turned his back on the woman he loved to pursue his true calling. In this case the story revolves around two main characters a simple gun smith Lei and Terra the daughter of a wealthy family. Terra is subjected to an arranged marriage, as much as she protests about it she eventually accepts it and gets married amist a conflict that has been going on for years. Now Lei and Terra are childhood friends (gotta throw in the childhood friends cliche) and to some extent they really do feel something for each other. Well storywise Lei leaves his home village to pursue a new life, leaving Terra behind.

As shown in the tagline "War tore them apart, Memories brought them back together", the entire series is a recollection of past events leading up to the destruction of Lei and Terra's village. The entire series alternates between the two characters, so we get to see both sides of war; war from a soldier's view and war from the victims of war. Where Lei is living his life as a mercenary in one of the most feared mercenary factions in the world, and Terra trying raise her family in the mist of war and an unfateful husband. The pair's story will eventually overlap and eventually lead to the tragic end of this play of war and memories. The theme of this series is memories, while people can go off and turn their backs on friends, families and loved ones; the thing that will tie them all together are the special memories that they hold together. I also came up with this idea in terms of the girl that I used to like. I liked her for six years, but in the end of my senior year I decided to turn my back on her and pursue my college career. I feel that if I ever saw her again I'd like to sit down with her and have a long talk about the past and ourselves.

So thats a look into Mercenaries Suite.
