History

One day, PokeNirvash checked out a 2005 issue of Anime Insider from a library in the city he lived in, and one article inspired him to create his own anime: Nibai Mugendai. It went through many changes from its original format, and it spawned many other anime ideas growing in PokeNirvash's mind. And now, that vision of his is now being posted on the ASMB [Thread's here.]

Summary: The year is 2099 A.D. It has been 70 years since the end of World War III, when Japan was nuked into bits by a nuclear bomb, ending the war. One year later, Japan was rebuilt with city overtaking nature in the main island area. Takashi Fujishima is a college student living in this future. His boring life changes one night, when his arm is accidentally shot off while a gunfight is going on atop a nearby building. Close to death, Takashi is saved when he is given a robotic arm by a mysterious girl named Motoko Kotegawa. Motoko is an assassin fighting SORE, a crime syndicate bent on expanding their small HQ by destroying Japan. Suddenly, Takashi is forced into helping Motoko fight SORE. This series has an original plot, but lots of anime parodies. WILL BE CHANGED AROUND CHAPTER 7's RELEASE.
