What is Animator's Dream?

The first thing readers like you probably noticed that this blog was dedicated to Animator's Dream. You're all probably asking what that is. Animator's Dream is my novel-in-development trilogy that focuses on the pop culture genre of animation. In this case, it would focus more on Japanese Anime and Manga, and some of the traits that make it well known. However, it would be more than just exploring what gives Anime and Manga their charm. The novel focuses on the journeys of a young man, somewhat like me, who happened to enter the animated world that he had dreamed about. The discovery was purely an accident because of creating a character with a magic pencil. In this new world, the young man befriends animations, the beings that inhabit the animated world. All seems normal with what he discovers, but a series of events and accidental explorations reveal much more than what his dreams suggested. There is also a dark force inhabiting this world, with sinister plans for the animated world, and one of the members of this force having to do with the main character's past.

The novel was intended to look past the giant robots, fight scenes, characters in revealing outfits, and other pastiches that make Anime and Manga stand out from other forms of pop culture. It intended to go deeper into the world of these two mediums, explore how the people working in these industries share similarities to the characters that they work on, and even wonder if the characters in our favorite Anime and Manga are alive and aware of our existence. The work will also look at the darker side of Anime and Manga, or more specifically, some of the negative stereotypes that most would associate with these mediums. It wasn't meant to be a typical display of the mediums, but rather, the novel looks at Anime and Manga in a philosophical and constructive fashion. The novel was a product of bringing the best of the medium and bringing it in to chapter book form. I am hoping that readers in general, and people who work in the Anime and Manga industry, too, will look at this novel as I intended it. I really want people to think about Anime and Manga when they read this novel, not to just look at it as a book that fulfills the fantasies of the hardcore otaku. That is what makes this novel special.
