Phillies Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 is that even possible as Western people, do the japanese even be interested in our ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Even if I knew how, it's better to just pretend your scripts are an anime instead of risking the possibility of rejection. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonSinger Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 This just happened: https://www.viz.com/originals "VIZ to publish original graphic novels! Get your portfolios ready! What is VIZ Originals? VIZ Originals is a new imprint of VIZ Media dedicated to publishing original graphic novels developed by manga-inspired creators. What kind of graphic novels are you looking for? At VIZ, we love manga and are looking for dynamic paneling, skillful black-and-white artwork and compelling stories that keep readers hooked. We’re interested in fantasy, adventure, romance, horror, sci-fi and slice-of-life works that appeal to both young adult and adult fans. I’m a creator! How can I submit my work for consideration? There will be two types of opportunities to submit your work to VIZ Originals. Portfolio Reviews: We will hold portfolio review sessions at various events around the country throughout the year.

Please note: We are only able to review material as described above. Any unsolicited submissions received by mail cannot be read and will be recycled." People are waiting to see what their contracts look like first because Tokyopop did the same thing and screwed over a bunch of people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenoftheDorks Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hopefully this VIZ deal isn't as exploitative to young writers/artists as Tokyopop was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, putting out crappy work, closing suddenly so artists/writers didn't get paid the royalties they were owed, and other crap. It was a full on clusterfuck because the company was mishandled so badly. Viz probably won't be in the same boat because it's better run, but after Tokyopop burned so many people, a lot of folks are being cautious.

MasqueradeOverture Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 You're better off making an entire pilot chapter with completed art and everything to submit instead of just a script. It's an easier sell that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this idea to accept submissions is just to appease the fans or something... and then no one is reading shit :\ most anime is a sell out, all the cool ideas are going to end up in the trash with the fap rags.

Problem is, being subtle with your promotion only to have no one respond isn't much better than pushing others to read it so hard they outright refuse to.
