I was laying in bed last night trying to get some sleep, but as usual my brain started going a million miles an hour. I suddenly came up with what I think would be an interesting way to present an anime and decided I'd share it with you all.
Said anime would be comprised of 2 seasons, each spanning 12 or 13 episodes. Both seasons would be the same story, but with one major difference.
Season one would be completely done in a first person perspective of the main character. This would work best with the romance/comedy/drama genres. There's so many series where you know exactly what is going on with everyone, yet the main character is clueless to what is going on in everyone elses heads. As you watch, there's a lot of times where you just want to hit him because he's so dense. This is where the first person perspective could make things interesting. You would be just as clueless as the main character. You wouldn't have all the obvious hints that tell you that your childhood friend has a crush on you, or that your best friend is going through some kind of troubles at home and that's why he or she has seemed distant lately. This season wouldn't tell the entire story, just maybe 1/4 of it.
The second season would be the same story, but presented in the same way every other anime is. You would see everyones lives and hear their thoughts. You would then know why the various characters are acting the way they do. This season would also tell the last portion of the story that was left out in the first season.
It's quite possible that in the end, you were just as dense or dim witted as the main character, or maybe you were very perceptive and was able to figure out exactly what was going on.
Feel free to leave comments on why you think this would be a good or bad idea, or ways this could be improved.
