The Blood Star

The Blood Star

Project Overview

**PLEASE READ ALL OF DESCRIPTION BEFORE AUDITIONING, VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN HERE**


Hello, my name is Abby and I'm the director of this animation called "The Blood Star".  The main direction I want this to turn towards is a shonen/shojo anime series. This project will be long-term, so before you audition, please be aware that this is a project you need to be committed to. That especially goes for main characters and producers that are casted. I know it seems a bit unfair, since you will not be paid for this at the start, BUT, if things turn out successful, payments towards characters and producers can be a high chance. I'm not some big anime production company, so this will be released onto YouTube. I really hope that somehow this series can take off and get somewhere just as anime series like RWBY did, and the people reading this will take it as seriously as I do. Now, let's begin to the juicier stuff!

**DESCRIPTION**

The land of Onga had been restricted from the outside world for thousands of years. In the beginning of the new century, outside forces had attempted to retaliate against Onga's isolation, but had been met with the power of the vicious Ongians. Eventually, the attacks fell to an end. Onga citizens believed they feared the Ongians, or disease had wiped out the rest of Earth's population. It had been nearly 3000 years since the last contact with outsiders, but they liked it that way. The Ongian's had a secret to hide, something that if the outsiders discovered... they would be wiped out in fear for the human race.


    The Blood Star appears every 75 years in the Western wing of Onga for a singular night. Children born underneath The Blood Star's light are granted powers. Most people blessed with abilities, whom called Wielders, join groups to protect regular Onga citizens from monsters and Wielders turned evil. Others, however, hide in the darkness of their homes, cursed with the ability of unimaginable things.

Akayomi Tonako had been apprenticed to a senior Wielder ever since she was a child. She has no remembrance of her parents, except an elegant woman with bright yellow hair. When heading back home from the city one night, she encounters a Wielder group struggling to battle a powerful Nightfreak. Tonako saves the group, and is asked to join.  

Now, she must leave her village to travel the lands of Onga to protect the home she has only ever known, all while trying to discover the truth about her biological family.

But what happens when an evil Wielder organization threatens everything she was told? Now Tonako is thrust into a new light, and is the only one who can save    Onga and even the entire Earth from possible extinction.

Disclaimer: There is a lot more to the plot than that, but casted members will be enlightened with all the details.



**RULES FOR AUDITIONS**

1. You must have a MINIMUM of 2 takes per line and a MAXIMUM of 4 takes per line.

2. You must state how old you are and something you would like us to know before auditioning your lines.

3. You can audition for more than 1 role, but you can only have 1 upload per role. If you have 2 uploads on 1 role, the latest upload will be reviewed.

Latest Updates

  • Deadline Extended; Some Roles Casted at Former Deadline

    I want to thank everyone who has auditioned so far, I love hearing all your lovely voices. However, the deadline has been extended due to some roles having no auditions (animators, specifically). Also, with some roles, I'm still not quite satisfied in what I really want for my characters. Although, there is a few roles that will be casting people because I think they are perfect for it! So possibly be expecting some private messages from me and be added to the discord server. One last thing! If anyone knows any good animators, please send them my project. We really need animators! Thank you so much for your time, and I wish you the best of luck!

Of course the anime will have an opening! It would be great if you can speak/sing in Japanese, if not, then whatever, we can do it in dubbed (sadly). Basically, just submit a recording of you singing literally anything! I'm very excited to hear all your beautiful voices. We might have more than one opening, so there is a high chance more than one person will be selected.

  • Sing something you like!

This is the hard part, I need animator(s) to animate the show! Sadly, I don't have the equipment or quite the skill for animation. I would prefer an anime-like style but it doesn't have to be perfect. Honestly, just send in some of your artwork or animation videos, and I'll see if you're right for it! Who knows, maybe I'll prefer your style over anime? Of course I will help you and hopefully if enough people submit, we can have a team of animators. Thank you!

  • (Emotional) I'll miss you, Tomako. (Voice shaking, serious) Remember to recall everything I taught you. *pointing to Tomako's head* (solemn) Not your heart, but your brain.
