Reposting my plot from previous thread
>Setting is futuristic/cyberpunk
>Male mc is eccentric inventor around 19 years old
>Creates badass exo-suit that gives him insane strength and has a barrier that makes him practically invincible. It's the future. Don't gotta explain shit
>Portals to demon dimension open around the world.
>Demons can't be killed normally. Keep regenerating and shit
>Male mc tries to kill them but no dice. Luckily his suit makes the demons pose no threat to him
>Time-skip a month or so. Shit is royally fucked all over the place.
>Male mc finds Femc running away from demons.
>She is holding a strange sword
>He deals with the demons chasing her and takes her to safe spot
>Femc is apparently the outcast of a global family who are the only people that can wield weapons that can kill demons
>If anyone else tried to wield the weapons, their soul would be sucked away or some shit
>Male mc decides to test that
>Instant regret
>Femc is an outcast 'cause she's a hopeless coward
>Male mc convinces her to team up with him to kill the demons, and make her a badass so family will accept her
>Basically the big takeaway is that the Femc has the power to kill demons, but lacks the strength and willpower. Male mc has strength and willpower, but lacks the ability to kill demons.
Thoughts?

Retired Magical Girls in their twenties and thirties doing office work, presentations, and public appearances for the bureaucratic Magical Response Division. They occasionally get called up as reserves to do street-level work when the active girls are on duty. They also have to compete with private protection entities who also employ former magical girls, and even some MotW who escaped and are trying to live 'normal' lives.

Woof, forgot to change the title.

A bunch of losers try to escape the reins of poverty by betting their livelihood on horse races. Only too late it dawns to them that THEY are going to be the horses, to be ridden by the daughters of the rich families sponsoring the races. But why do these girls treat them like actual horses…?

The anime starts in a similar fashion to GATE: a portal to a fantasy world opens, the invading force comes out and starts raiding a city where the portal appeared. In the process, they capture multiple civilians as slaves and send them to the fantasy world through the portal.
The difference is, the fantasy empire has the ability to close the portal whenever they want, and when the invasion force gets destroyed, the empire decides to cut their losses and shuts the portal down, leaving our world with no way to retaliate for the attack or to rescue the captured civilians.
The story proper is told from the viewpoint of one of the enslaved Earthlings. He along with several others is sold at a slave market to a merchant from a wealthy trade republic halfway across the world from the Empire. While being shipped to his destination, the MC discovers that he possesses magic powers.
(It is explained later that while some Earthlings do have capability for magic, the Earth itself does not have enough "background magic" in order for them to work)
Using his newfound power, the MC quickly frees himself and his compatriots, and eventually takes over the republic (which is rather weak magic- and defense-wise). He realizes, however, that his magical abilities are pretty weak compared to a good Imperial mage - not to mention the strongest of them, who could easily overpower him if they ever fought. That said, the MC does have an advantage - his and his compatriots' XXI century scientific knowledge that he applies to his magic to make it much more effective, as well as to find unexpected uses for it in order to defeat much stronger opponents.
The MC's main goal is to return home (although he also wants to get some measure of revenge on the Empire for killing and enslaving his friends), but only the Empire has the magical technology capable of doing so. Moreover, it is unknown if even the Empire can open the portal to Earth for the second time.
It's gonna be a long way.

Mc works a special office job, has a wife who is a teacher. Mc gets kidnapped, detectives show up let wife know what's going on, and ask questions, before you know it she's gone full pepesilvia on the case. Trying to figure out every detail, it starts to seep into her work as the details of the case goes on.
not sure where a show like this could lead but i think it could be interesting

It's uhh okayish, really.

A modern-day veteran with PTSD commits suicide and ends up in a world with comparable technology to ours at the turn of the century; starts living in small a farm town, slowly becoming attached to it as he tries to find peace, but he gets forced into killing people to protect it. The ending of the first arc is him just waging a guerilla defense against overwhelming odds with the townspeople.

Breaking Bad, nut instead of being a meth cook trying to survive the underground world, the MC is an impoverished culinary prodigy that deals gourmet food at school instead of drugs to survive in the real world after his parents were murdered by the mob

>MC, 11 years old
>hits head one pretty hard one day
>progressively get worse, go to bed
>wake up next morning PIN PIN, discover he can hear people's mind (like listening to a radio)
>series is essentially a mental thriller with the MC progressively unlocking more and more Telepathic abilities (can actually SEE what other people are seeing, peer into memories, ultimately outright mind control people and such) [NO TELEKINESIS]
>being a kid, he starts messing around with his newfound powers, until he eventually causes enough mayhem for people to start noticing
>be afraid of repercussions, start paranoia rabbit hole of evading getting detected and held to account
>things get out of hand very quickly, more serious Alphabet soup agencies start getting involved
>MC slowly but surely descending down very dark and twisted paths
I also imagine it being told from multiple perspectives, like what other characters make of the strange and bizarre occurrences that manifest due to MC's power.
I basically got this idea entirely from watching Welfin (HxH Chimera ant arc) completely over-analyzing everything and what became of it, as well as King (OPM) bulshitting his way through everything.

Revolves around a middle aged construction worker living in Osaka.

Inspired by the isekai OC from the manga OC thread. An isekai where the MC gets hit by a truck only to get revived as Franz Ferdinand just before assassination and then dies over and over again as a historical figure moments before assassination. The villain is some random who keeps getting revived as the assassin each time. The MC and the villain are fully aware of what’s going on so it’s like Tom and Jerry for insects.

Boring. Make them prolific school shooters who frame some random incel each time.
Joshua Jenkins
The original premise is good, but you decided to make your MC a boring and generic isekai protagonist
Julian Russell
What if its reverse isekai and famous shooters from history appear in our world. Theyre all female ofcourse.
Landon Flores
That would work well as a spin-off.
Bentley Young
Great idea unironically! Would love to see this!
How is this isekai? Is stein's gate isekai too?
Amazing idea unironically! Would watch that shit! Hilarious!
Trash. LGBT shit = lame gay bitch trannies lol

Make Dungeon Keeper into an anime.
For bonus points, make the MC a generally chill guy who is mostly content to mind his own business, but asshole knights/adventurers/mercenaries keep invading his dungeon and getting killed as a result - until he has enough and starts destroying the kindgoms that send invasion forces.
A secondary MC would be a hero from one of the kindgoms trying to achieve peace and make all sides see reason.
Could also throw in a fair bit of medieval(-ish) economics a la Spice and Wolf.
Additional details:
There are many reasons why people try to invade the dungeon. Some people are attracted by the (not entirely inaccurate) idea that the dungeon must hold untold riches; others wish to obtain magical power from the Heart of the Dungeon; but most sincerely believe that the Dungeon Keeper is a villain who wants to conquer the rest of the world. It is not without precedent: after all, most previous DKs were, in fact, power-hungry evil megalomaniacs... or, at least, had such a reputation.
The MC himself is definitely not a good person, but understands that pissing off too many powerful entities is a sure way to get destroyed. He tries to be pragmatic about this whole thing; in fact, the conflict between his pragmaticism and the heroes' idealism is one of the main driving points of the plot.
The anime starts light-hearted, with plenty of comic relief and the like, but as the conflict intensifies and the casualties pile on, it becomes more serious and the need to stop the conflict more urgent than ever before.

A bored god decides to have some fun and grants a group of random nerds and otaku in Japan powers based off of the characters they like to see in anime, manga, and games. You get a magical girl, a genetic fantasy Isekai protagonist, an American superhero type, edgy “dark lord”, super sentai fan, etc. and focuses on them as they use their new powers and start conflicts with one another. It focuses on no one as a direct main character, with all of them being portrayed as pathetic and self-centered in their own ways. Not because of their interests, but how they use these powers to just live out their fantasies rather than doing anything significant with them, good or bad. Focuses on the entire endamble cast of empowered individuals, and occasionally non-powered individuals caught in the crossfire.

Here’s a better isekai
>Isekai Yugioh where people treat the fantasy world as a virtual reality MMO to play Duel Monsters
>First saga is about generic shadow games and tournaments
>Second saga is full isekai with real deaths (only the black guy dies though), we learn that the fantasy world is real but it was coded through some weird technology (this is important later)
>Mysterious organisation of wizards that aid the protagonist, led by a mysterious sage (who’s obviously the final antagonist) who gives the MC ‘rage moment’ cards if you get my gist
>Generic empire vs weaker kingdoms story + Yugioh monsters who’ve become real and run around killing people side plot, after the MC squad fail to destroy the evil empire through Shadow Games, the empire enters the real world but they job because the season is over
>Third season, the mysterious organisation opens the gateway between the worlds and dumps ALL of the roaming Yugioh monsters from the fantasy world into the real world, an all out war happens
>Mysterious sage aka the programmer who developed the MMO, plans on keeping the gate permanently open so both sides can suffer
>The MC isn’t around to save the day because the sage fueled his rage when his black friend died and his friends decided to create a replica MC through magic instead of being there for his friend, he’s now another antagonist who’s out for the heads of his old friends
>Redemption arc, sage gets BTFO and the gate and MMO are both shut down for good
