My concept for an adult animated Sci-fi horror movie.

it's called "Manifest" as it has both humans and furries (Anthropomorphic beings) living together in peace in an alternate world/universe. It's basically a Sci-fi horror thriller that is set in San Diego and has a renegade alien criminal who crash lands his small spaceship in the mountains as it escapes so it can bite some humans and anthropmorphs alikes infecting them. The creature gives out that virus that is spread only through a bite as the virus can go into the heart and brain then transforms that person into a creature of sorts that can be killed in both of those areas. A skunk-morph police chief named Craven is baffled by some of these bizarre murders and disapperences hires a superstrong yet handsome human detective named Detective Roy Willard to investigate these occurances. He does get a beautiful and sexy blonde female tiger-morph client named Amanda who's parents and brother died from the creatures as she's left alone, he falls in love with her and has to protect her as both fight off against the strange creatures and find out what is the main creature's plan for taking over the world could be before it's too late.

It's also a love story which has a love between a fur and a human which is rare in animation except for in fanfic stories, Manga, and furry comics. It is basically not just about alien invasions but also a story of different love told in the eyes of both of the heroes of this picture. I also have this film as a tribute to EC Comics, Furry Fandom, "Wicked City", "Fritz The Cat", 50's to 80's B Sci-fi horror movies, "Fist of the North Star" and even "The Thing" from 1982. The violence would be extreme in that "Riki-Oh", "Dead Alive" or "Fist of the North Star" kind of vein with heads exploding, bodies ripped apart, bloody transformations and of course a scene where the human hero is saving the life of his crush by fighting an infected person then rips it's heart out then puts it in the microwave on high until it explodes. There would be nudity on both human and furry chicks even at a strip club joint, foul language and a intimide love scene between Roy and Amanda. The film will be quite CSI-esque in terms of a detective crime story but done in animation with a Sci-fi edge to it.

As soon as i get a how to write a script book at Barnes and Nobels i'll work on it and send it to Film Roman as a direct-to-DVD release even for Lionsgate.
 
Sounds good but needs alot of progressive work, but in our century not much room for Theatrical Adult Animation. Thought direct to DVD release is usually favoured.
 
I hope that you have accrued x number of years working within the film/animation industry or know someone famous or influential who has x amount of years' experience within the industry to provide backing and financing, because that's the only way you can expect to get an animated feature made short of making and producing it yourself. If getting an animated project greenlit were as simple as mailing a script to some big studio, then we'd all have animated film projects in the works.

As for the story itself: no offense, but based on that description it seems like much of the blood, gore, sex and nudity is just being thrown in there just for sake of getting the movie labeled 'adult'. It comes off as gratuitous to me. Stories don't need a whole bunch of R-rated stuff in order to be entertaining. Rampant sex and violence ≠ adult entertainment. Mature subject matter is one thing, but it becomes a gratuitous cry for attention when an author jams in a ton of sex, violence, nudity, gore and profanity in place of genuine plot and character development. You shouldn't try so hard to establish that your idea is "adult"; let the characters and story speak for themselves. Something is either mature or it isn't. Often times, works that rely heavily on R-rated material to prove themselves mature ("It's got bodies being ripped apart!" "It's got foul language!" "It's got nude sex!" "It's got a scene at a strip club!") end up looking the very opposite of mature.

Add to that the human/furry love thing (which sounds very 'fetish-y', for lack of a better word), and you've got one extremely hard sell, to say the least. The R-rated stuff makes it inaccessible to kids, and the business with humans living alongside anthropomorphic animals would come off as too kiddie for most adults.

And the humans and furries sharing the world thing could be a story all by itself. Do you really need to toss aliens in it as well?

By the by, it's Barnes & Noble.
 
Manifest means Manifestation as in infection and that's where i came up with the idea for a title.

Well i think Adult Animation is a much malgined genre, i dunno why? is it cause people intend to focus on family? well Ralph Bakshi and the Japanese make those kinds of films. There has been notable mature audiences animated movies over the years like Beowulf, Fritz The Cat, Wizards, Heavy Metal, Akira, Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, Wicked City, Ghost in The Shell, Fist of the North Star, Princess Mononoke, American Pop, Pink Floyd The Wall, Watership Down, Fire and Ice, Perfect Blue, Haunted World of El SuperBeasto, Starchaser: Legend of Orin etc. and i want this movie to be just like those.

Well the film is not just focused on the sex and violence but rather on the story and character development between the two main characters including their relationship. This will definitely be an Unrated feast for the eyes.
 
... For the record, furries isn't a great selling point. Anthros is a lot less... creepy.

But yeah, this doesn't belong here... at all. I have an idea for an adult animated show too, but I haven't brought it up here. |:

And for the record... I do agree with the opinions on it being too forced to be adult. You can make an adult cartoon without making all the characters sexy. It sounds like you got a lot of influence from El Superbeasto... which, personally, was a horrible movie. Great animation, but the 'edginess' gets boring by the 4th boob shot in a row. The female characters that were supposedly 'sexy' came off as obnoxious Mary Sues, which to me is very... well, unimpressive.

Don't get me wrong, you can have sex-related and violence-related things in an animated film and still have it work. But that doesn't have to be the main focal point of the film or characters.
 
Because very rarely you get adult cartoons that are genuinely mature. Ren & Stimpy Adult Cartoon Party is one of the best examples of what happens when a writer is more concerned with being mature and edgy, than writing a good story.

Even Spider-Man The New Animated Series is guilty of it. Aside from the finale, most of the episodes could have worked without the inclusion of the profanity of profanity and gore.

Is the content included because it's important to the story, or to convince the audience that the movie is mature? If anything, adding content for the sake of making the movie edgy would just make it immature.
 
Lost all interest in your idea once I read the word 'furry'

Yeah, I agree with the other people who posted in this thread. The violence in your idea seems unnecessary. A very juvenile attempt to try and be 'adult'
I mean, ripping a character's heart out is bad enough, but what's the point of sticking it in a microwave afterwards?

Best of luck to you and all, but.. ugh.

I seriously do not understand the appeal of furry characters..
 
Apologies in advance, but this idea seems like a clumsy attempt to combine several ideas into a single story. The alien killer murder mystery and and the human/anthro romance could each had been a story on it's own, and all of the over-the-top nudity, sex, blood, violence and gore just seems gratuitous. There doesn't seem to any reason for half the populous of this alternate Earth to be anthropomorphic animals other than for the inclusion of a human/anthro sex scene, which also seems like a gratuitous attempt to be "adult". I mean, the female protagonist could have easily been a human woman, but it seems as though she was made into a tigress mainly to please the furries.

An animated feature that's not family friendly is a very hard sell, especially when you throw in terms like "Furry". The appeal of that is very niche. I just don't understand the appeal of humans having relations with anthropomorphic animals myself. I understand your desire to establish "Manifest" as an adult movie, but I feel that this may be overdoing things just a tad. After all, you can't build a movie around shock value alone. Sure, there will be that lunatic fringe who will go see it for the over-the-top stuff, but you don't want to attract just them.

Nonetheless, I wish the best of luck with your endeavors.
 
Ok so furry is a bad name as i think humanoid is a better word. The beginning of my script idea will tell of where they came from originally from other worlds and how humans learned to lived to accept them in peace.

Well human and creature love is nothing new you know! Roger Rabbit himself is married to a human woman and what a lucky fellow he is, Golitah on Gargoyles has a relationship with Eliza, Belle loved Beast and even Charlie (The human chick) dated one of the Biker Mice including some movies with humans going out with alien chicks. I just think it would be something different for an animated movie, give it a different flavor to it. Even Leela from Futurama whom is an alien beauty goes out with different species of men including human fellows.

The movie idea of mine does have some gore with nudity and one sex scene but it focuses on the main character on how he is struggling to live in different society in the far future. The main detective character Roy Willard was once a happy guy who had a beautiful fiancee that was brutally murdered after a date and it left him cold for a year as he yern for a new life since her death. He's been a hard drinker and a lonely kind of man who does his job of investigating and having a rough new life until he meets the girl of his dreams who comes to see him since her family is also dead too. As he agrees to help with her find what killed her mother father and brother, it turns into something different as soon as they hunt down each infected creature. It has a little detective noir in it as well as about the story of a man who's desperate for love and he finds it but in the wrong place which means a little alien invasion.

The gore for this movie will be done in a "Dead Alive (a.k.a. Braindead)", "Riki-Oh The Story of Ricky", "Evil Dead 2", "Re-Animator", "Violence Jack" and "Fist of the North Star" kind of way. I mean the heart-ripping scene where Willard does that as the creature is still moving, he puts it in the microwave next to him then turns it on high until it explodes then the creature collapses as he says "sorry pal, i guess i just warmed your heart too much" as a one-liner i came up with. It's also got a little bit of humor thrown in just for some kicks. Afterall the creatures in my idea are zombie-like and can turn into hideous monsters much like John Carpenter's The Thing or in 1987's masterpiece Wicked City.

Well Ralph Bakshi and The Japanese know how to make quality adult cartoons and this direct-to-DVD release idea of mine is one that would bring back that quality.
