Well this thread isn't really about /absurd/ ideas, more like ideas that haven't been done. The absurdness is just a bonus. Not really sure how to put it. lel

Never seen Monster, doesn't seem like something I'd enjoy (You know what I enjoy).

@NekoMizu

Monster's essentially right up my alley in many ways, with what I said previously being one of them because I generally dislike escapism when it serves no purpose beyond being escapism. Admittedly, I do prefer things to have supernatural elements, but Monster just did everything else so perfectly that I was able to ignore the lack of those in it. Generally speaking, I tend to have no interest whatsoever in stories that lack a 'literary fiction' quality to them. My tastes tend to be a bit too mature for me to get into many series outside of just a casual watch, though I've found a good number that I've enjoyed.

Anyway, based on what you said I think 'original anime plot ideas' makes more sense than 'absurd anime plot ideas', but then the vast majority of the examples in this thread definitely lean towards being absurd. If it's simply ideas that haven't been done, then chances are more serious ideas will be more original because the vast majority of shows out there are absurd.

@Shoryu Magami
Yeah if I can figure out a way to change the title of the thread (it's most likely really simple, just never had to before), I'll change it to something like original. Though, I've run out of original ideas myself that don't repeat the same trend of random board games I played as a child.

Regardless, most of the ideas posted have been so absurd that they were original, so I suppose that works lel

@NekoMizu

Another option would be to keep this thread as 'absurd', and then make a sibling thread for 'original'; however, it sounds like you were somewhat looking for a combination of the two. It's just a point I figured I'd make because absurd doesn't automatically translate to original.

Honestly, I could come up with plenty of ideas to contribute to the thread (absurd or not), but if I keep doing it I'll just get annoyed about the fact that I'm not getting payed to create original story ideas. Plus I don't feel like spending time deciding how to top the last one I threw at you, at least not yet anyway.

@Shoryu Magami
Absurdly Origial Anime Plot Ideas.
There's No Way My Thread About Absurdly Original Anime Plot Ideas Could Be This Cute.

That idea will be difficult to beat. Plots like those come around every 2017 years.

@NekoMizu

Minds like these, for better or for worse, probably only come around once every two thousand and seventeen years as well.

I guess it was inevitable.

@NekoMizuthis thread is not cute
i think this is quite origininininal, but it might be because i haven't PERSONALLY seen an anime like this
it's literally err ASMR? not really what
it's about the daily life of a dude/girl/whatever being kidnapped and kept in the psycho kidnaper's basement
and a very detailed one as well
you get to talk to the psycho and go trough its evil treatments that could be turned into violence comedy you see in all cartoons

*cough*kiznaiver*cough*sakamoto*cough*

ACTUALLY NO NO I KNOW
OHARU'S STORY SHOULD BE AN ANIME
IT MUST BE sta.sh/02655rowlrjt

or what about an anime about a poor isolated otaku depressed guy that doesn't end up in the anime world and get laid with 2d girls
but instead he gets worse and commits suicide and then his family is very sad and the government says it's time to stop the anime obssession and start making a thick line between reality and fantasy so that no more people will have to suffer and will finally get laid

What about an interactive anime? Kinda like a VN, but anime.

@NekoMizu

So like a 'choose your own adventure' book, but a cartoon? I'd be surprised if this doesn't exist, though it's probably not anime.

@Shoryu Magami
The closest to it in terms of anime is a show that's currently airing called "One Room" or whatever, but it doesn't have choices. It's basically just girls talking to themselves, which is pretty weird an uncomfortable.

It's the Great Patriotic War but all the major historical figures are cute girls. So like Oda Nobuna no Yabou, but with Soviets.

@Keyguyperson

So a 'Waifu TJRPG' based around Soviet Russia? I'm mildly surprised that doesn't exist, or at the very least that a WWII centred one doesn't exist (I guess it's too touchy for Japan). Unless I'm mistaken, a game came out on the PS3 that was basically a TJRPG with all these historical figures (Alexander the Great, et cetera) from various eras all being portrayed as cute anime girls (so not just focusing on Nobunaga, basically), so I'd be surprised if a Soviet isn't in there somewhere.

@Shoryu Magami
You think WWII is too touchy for Japan?

@NekoMizu

Not really, although it probably is for some people there. It's just strange that the idea hasn't been done, considering all the other insane stuff that anime has pulled off over the years.

@Shoryu Magami
Isn't Hetalia based on WWII? Though it's not a bunch of cute girls.

@NekoMizu

I'm not sure, since I haven't seen it.
