[Hobby] Looking for collaborators for an original psychological dark fantasy anime/animated series
I'm an animator currently developing an original psychological dark fantasy anime project called Future of Darkness (Yami no Mirai).
I’ve been working on the story, characters, worldbuilding, and overall direction, and I’m now looking to build a small creative team to help bring it to life.
The goal is to create a serious anime-style project focused on strong storytelling, character development, and a dark psychological atmosphere.
Currently looking for collaborators:
- Animators
This is an unpaid passion project, so I’m mainly looking for people who are interested in collaborating and building something original together over time.
Project Overview:
Future of Darkness (Yami no Mirai) follows Kurozaki Renji, a 17-year-old who becomes trapped in a supernatural death curse.
Every time Renji dies, he is sent back to a random point in time before his death — anywhere from a few seconds to up to 24 hours earlier. He has no control over how far he goes back, meaning sometimes he has time to change events, and sometimes he returns only moments before dying again.
But the curse has another condition.
If Renji dies and someone he knows has already reached the point where they’ve completely given up on living, that person is erased from existence.
They don’t simply die — they are completely erased. Memories of them disappear, and reality rewrites itself as if they never existed.
Renji is the only one who remembers.
The story explores themes of self-hatred, trauma, identity, emotional masking, human connection, and acceptance.
If you're interested, feel free to DM me. I can share more details about characters, worldbuilding, and future plans.
Portfolio: This is my first project, so I don’t have a portfolio yet.
Progress: Story, characters, and worldbuilding are already developed. I’m now looking to assemble a small team to continue development and production.
