Count me in as a reader. I can't wait to see what you write.

Yes, but drama seems to be what the public craves most when it comes to their anime or manga. Name an anime or manga that has nothing but pointless jokes.

I WAS going to make the pilot today, but my dog just got back from having surgery to remove his entire leg. I have to watch him.

EDIT: If you want no drama, go watch something like Excel Saga. It's pretty f**ked up.

Azumanga Daioh. It's charming, but light and fluffy, and the most I remember with 'drama' was the whole thing with the stray cat. Plus, I'm sure there are other series (Hamtaro comes to mind) made for kids, wherein nothing of real consequence happens. Every story needs to have some kind of conflict, but it's the way the conflict is presented that makes it 'dramatic' or 'comedic'.

As for Megiddo: D'awww! D: I hope your dog recovers from the surgery -- I know just how you feel. My father's gone through two or three leg surgeries. Worries me to death. ._.

Thank you, and he's resting now, with three legs.

There were several important stories within Hamtaro (I am proud to say that I watched the entire series and have it all on DvD xDDD)

And JESUS... It still has drama in it. You cannot have a story without drama, it is totally impossible. That is what I am saying.

Conflict and drama are two different things, I think. I've taken no acting classes or anything of the like, but you can have a conflict while being completely non-dramatic.

No, Giratina's right. xD Conflict and drama are definitely two different things. I think it's fine not to have drama in a story, as long as other elements make up for it. Conflict doesn't have to be dramatic, as Giratina said, but it often leads to drama because of outcomes or character's reactions or what have you. I understand what Mike is saying, because stories generally follow a formula which involves a climax, but it really depends how you write it and such. :3

Quell your quarrels, children. :3

I am going to film school... I know about this stuff...

And yes, they are two different things. I am not saying they are the same. I am saying that you cannot have a story without drama. Even if it is a little teeny tiny bit, it is still there.

Take a show that seems as pointless as Spongebob. Yes, it is funny and annoying, but it also has drama when conflicts arise. Drama starts when a conflict does. That is what drama is all about, somebody working to solve a problem, quell fighting, etc. Sure, you may inject a lot of comedy, yeah, but the drama is still there. The point is, if there is conflict, there is drama. If there is no conflict, not even a single clash, there is no true story.

I mean, here is a story without drama:



Wow... look at that plot...
