That would be a truely epic challenge, particularly if it still needs to stay fairly loyal to the source material. Take something like Battle Programmer Shirase and add another 26 episodes, how many excuses can you come up with for him to be caught in an innocent, but looks wrong out of context, situation every time he gets a new task. But you have to do it because it was a consistent theme in the original. And it gets worse with other series that are longer or have a decent amount manga that the series comes from, unless you willfully just fork off what you are doing from the original source material.Viking-Sensei wrote:I'd be game. What, figure on 26 episodes for a normal anime series... I think this could be a fun writing challenge. We pick a series that ended prematurely, and we extend it... not like writing out crappy fanfic, more like structuring the plot and blocking out the episodes and arcs so that the series *COULD* continue without it's source manga.Labrat wrote:I'm telling you. This forum could sit down for three consecutive nights and write up a season's worth of script and basic storyboard. And it would be brilliant.
Hard balance between making it able to stand on its own verses still being the series.
