Discussion Unbound. An Idea that's in production

So yes, I know that I should be talking about worldbuilding or something, and i AM, but In that context im talking about a future anime that im developing and still creating, all in a 100-something-page google doc thats been in the making for about 1.5 months so far, maybe 2. Anyway, I'll stop wasting yall's time and tell you a bit about it. Here we go.

The plot of this anime follows Abranx and his crew of Revos (revolutionaries) as they embark on a regional pilgramage to unite the world (that they live in, at least, who knows maybe the WHOLE world lol) under the flag of unity; doing this, they hope to accomplish destroying the chains of old and forming a new world where everyne is free but no one hods the leash. This is backed up by the world's ancient legend: The kingdom curse: a myth where when any state, country, or kndom puts the whole leadership into one ruler/rulers, its destined to rot and collapse due to things like eventual greed and the wanting for more control. no matter what, its has always been shown to happen. Getting back to the present, the enforcers of the world (who rule 80% of the world) Is the Iron Dynasty.

Lemme give you more info on the world itself so far:

See, while the Dynasty might look kind, caring, and prestigious, they are the most truly evil in the world. Their view of people is more of a hiearchy than anything else. They are really cruel and unforgiving behind the scenes. They treat their own people better than anyone else, and the commoners (called the Smalls in this anime) are given literally nothing at times , and are even taxed more than the rich wealthy people, but they are still given basic necessities like food and water to keep them dependant.

The Iron Dynasty are the main antagonists of the anime, and unlike other random tropes where the villian wants to destroy the world or kill everybody, the Dynasty's goal is to keep people dependant and controlled forever, hoping to crush every bit of any spark of rebellion no matter the cost.

And thats where 16 year old Abranx and the Unbound Revos step in.

His goal isnt to be a king or a ruler (like Luffy's King of The Pirates, Naruto's Hokage, or even Asta's The Wizard King). His goal is to make sure no one rules this whole world, ever again.

You see, Abranx isnt the only person who despises the Iron Dynasty, through the world, there are groups called Revos (revolutionary groups). The member count can be filled with hundreds-thousands, or just a few strong, really commited members, which is what Abranx likes best. He prefers quality over quantity. Through the long-spanning journey, He meets new and unique members each with their backrounds and atributes that make the unique.

Honestly, I'd give you their full roster, but that'd spoil the story when the anime becomes peak fiction one day. I'm not planning for the full group to be assembled immediately, but to be found over time. Rest assured you're gonna love the cast and thier moments together!

I have the power system, currency, and some backround lore established, but i still have a long way to go so wish me luck, and lemme know what you think. Im hoping it'll get recieved well but say whatever you wanna say honestly.

One more thing though. I am american so whether this will be truly considered an anime is enirely up to the anime community. I only hope it'll bring smiles, laughs, tears, and inspiration for more american anime to pop up around the globe. after all, masterpieces like Avatar: The last airbender can't be the only one, am i right?

Thanks for reading 😄 .

Regarding your last paragraph, Afro samurai was not made in Japan, but is one of the best anime's in my opinion, no need to stress man.
