Tutorial: How to make a cash cow anime

Hello! I know how you feel. You like anime, videogames, manga, card-games; all the fine things in life, but you just don't have the money to pay for those things. You could get a job for them, but  woring fucking  suuuuuucks! Isn't there a way that you can make money out of the things you love?

YES! It is time for you to create an anime franchise of your own. And with my tutorial, you will learn the secrets behind such successes as Dinosaur King, Beyblade, and Bakugan.

First, fill out this key:

(_____) is an ambitious young man who wants to be the best at (activity). Together with young sensitive (_____) and his cute pet friend (_____) they journey the world, meeting and beating opponents, hoping to eventually beat beat his rival, (____).

Keep in mind, the activity has to be something you can sell people somewhat. You're trying to make money here!

Now, I will post an example.
Slick Pshaw is an ambitious young man who wants to be the best at Pimping. Together with young sensitive  Gina Vags and his cute pet friend Keyn they journey the world, meeting and beating opponents, hoping to eventually beat Sodium.

And he will, after the jump!





Design your characters. It's easy, below is a template of  your main boy, his love interest, and the cute pet.

Put the clothes you think, but remember you can't just dress them. Add at least one out of place element normal people wouldn't wear. In this case I will add an oversized belt. For the pets just put those eyes on something. ANYTHING. It will be cute.

Once you have created the premise, it's time for a hasty, overdramatic manga that will spawn an anime, two nearly identical portable games and off course, either a card game series or elements of the real activity. Remember, in the Manga, the activity is the most important thing in the world, the source of the world's economy. Especially for our hero, who breaths it , eats it and shits it. As shallow as the activity could be, try to pin it that the hero absolutely HAS to be the best at it, and being anything alse causes our hero to fall to his knees and cry like his mother was just eaten by warthogs.

Here's a Manga sample.
Go ahead and try not to ship Sodium and Slick

All in all, it's pretty easy. There's room for one more in the market! ONE MORE!
