Don't Be Mean To Miss Haruka, Itazura!: PILOT

Don't Be Mean To Miss Haruka, Itazura!: PILOT

Project Overview

An original web series, "Don't Be Mean To Miss Haruka, Itazura!" Is a small series about a high school girl and her plush rabbit going through some high jinxs as they both try to reach their goals.

Requirements:

  • You must be +18 or older to participate.

  • For voice recordings you must have noise gate and a good microphone, and clear audio quality.

  • Be nice with everyone.

For this project, we will be making a pilot, and it will be fully rendered. It will be a blend of slice of life and comedy with small drama. As of right now, I am trying to build a small team to work with for free for now. If my project succeeds and the money starts to come in, I will sure as heck start paying my team!

If you have any questions, let me know!

Latest Updates

  • FINAL NEWS FOR PILOT EP

    Thank you so much for your guy's auditions! I feel really honored to have so many submissions for a project that I am so passionate about.

    The final main cast casting will happen around Midnight! I'll be DMing and having you on board my team!

    I do plan on casting Extras, which I'll Pm on here to those who accept to take the role.

    I don't want to plan too ahead, since this is the pilot and all, but there might be future casting for future EPs.

    For now, I'll focus on the present task.

    Again, thank you so much for auditioning and giving me a reason to keep going.

    That's all for now, I hope to post on here more with new projects once this one is complete.

    See ya.

  • Mini NEWS

    This might be real personal and probably tmi?

    So just to be clear. This project right now is being made for free. I honestly feel guilty for even putting on the roles that, depending on if the project is a success and I get revenue or upload a kickstarter, so I can hopefully pay and keep my team. (Which if all does go well I am going to make sure those in my team get paid for each episode they work in.)

    I really want to make this happen. Genuinely. I know my profile states I’m a currently a “employed” Thumbnail artist, but in reality that was just a too good to be true offer by some friend who had a dream to be a YouTuber. I probably only made one avatar drawing for him and his friends and nothing afterwards.

    I’m currently job hunting (sales associate, retail, fast food.) Of course, where I’m from, it’s hard to get a job due to the lack of hiring rates here and some jobs contacting me literally months (or years) later about reviewing or rejection. I wish I was kidding.

    I honestly felt like I wasn’t good enough or if there was something wrong about my resume. It sort of hurts me more because, I am bilingual, and I’ve been told as a kid to my teen age years, that I had a better chance on getting a job due to speaking more than one language.

    I am pretty much stumped. I am scared of what will happen to me if never get a job or not able to get one in general.

    This is my last hope of doing something with myself and create what I’ve dreamed about doing.

    Not only do I just want to create a pilot and get a budget for a complete series, but I also want to bring others that had to go through what I’ve been through to have a job that they can enjoy. Have financial support and recognition for their talents and skills. I want my team to grow and hopefully help create more with me if all goes well.

    Being indie might be it.

Role assigned to: Yanni

An introverted girl with social anxiety, low-self-esteem and a crybaby, who is struggling to find courage and strength within herself. 

  • She mumbles around people when she speaks.
  • When she's alone she speaks in a clearer tone and is bubbly.
  • With Itazura, she still holds the same clear speak voice and some bubbly personality. She expresses herself more around him, despite all the negative comments he spits at here.

  • "Too.many.eyes.on.me! How does Reni do it so flawlessly...?!? *Overwhelmed scream/noises*"

  • "Finally! Issue #32 on being a 9 to a vibe is here! *happily sighs* Nothing better than spending my free time all to myself!"

  • "Huh?!- You think... I'm setting up impossible standards for myself?! That's so mean, Itazura!!

Role assigned to: Eric Wheeldon

**NOTE: As of right now I am debating on giving this character an Italian accent (more of a mob boss sounding voice but not too heavy.)  Two takes are required, your delivery and the other with the accent.** 


A small cute but violent plush bunny rabbit who has no filter, no respect, no limits, and is brutally honest about everything. He speaks his mind with pride. 


  • Very blunt. 
  • his tone comes off like he's annoyed by you or threatening. 
  • The time he does try to sound "soft" it rarely sounds like it, though some firmness can be heard.  

  • "Seriously, do you not clean your own bag?! It smells like straight shit in here!"

  • "Lord, why did I end up with a broad like her? I'm really asking here- why her out of everyone on this earth?! *Grunts in defeat* I guess it's better than ending up as a girl's toy to that Reni..."

  • "*Wheezing laugh/laugh* HA! Me calling you pretty?! Please, if I were to call you pretty I'd add the word STUPID at the end!"

Reni, a social butterfly, a loudmouth who has no problem showing off her spunk.  

  • A bubbly, charming and happy lady.
  • Sounding cheerful and always in high spirits.
  • She rarely gets mad or ever becomes sarcastic, that isn't her style.

  • "Long time no speak! or is it see?- Doesn't matter! How are you? Hmmmm?"

  • "Hey, um. I know we haven't talked since our middle school graduation- But, I really wanted to see how you were doing."

  • "AWWW! You are the cutest thing I've ever seen! Haruka must adore you!"

Looking for a second or third writer to help write with me!


I'll be needing a few extra writers to help write with me on the script for the pilot. I have draft 1 being worked on, but I figured it'd be fun to give someone an opportunity to audition for their writing skills.


Feel free to upload any of your demos on here.

Normally, I was going to edit this on my own but due to my own laptop beginning to slowly stop running my editing software (Davinci resolve) I might need to have a backup. I might switch to Capcut but even then, that's pretty limited when it comes to editing.

Feel free provide references for your work!
