I have an ep 1 script rough drafted below. Please give it a read through and give some criticism! There's also a discord link!
Hello everyone! Ever since the first few minutes of me starting the game I really wanted it to be in anime form. Recently It's been plaguing my mind more and more, thinking about how I would translate it to an anime format, what would be good character moments, and how to keep the story roughly the same for fans but also change it enough to be new and enjoyable as well.

I think I've settled on a format of making it a Harem like anime but without the lewdness of it all. Every episode (or every other) will have a date with one of the girls:

Monika: She's the first one of course to hop onto the Protagonist dating wagon. They go out to get school supplies because the room's is running low. Natsuki gets upset and says they should follow them and Sayori agrees. (this way you get the stereotypical girls following the protagonist on a date episode) They of course get caught half way through the date and Monika leaves giving her a reason to feel she didn't get as much time as others.

Yuri: Instead of hearing that Yuri went to the book store to get the Protagonist a book in the game, Yuri and him go to the book store. After not being able to find one and the Protagonist questioning if he should really be in the Lit. Club. Yuri calms him down and they settle on Portrait of Markov, Yuri's favorite book.

Natsuki: I haven't figured out her date yet but I thought at some point the Protagonist drawing a manga for her would be really cute.

Sayori: I also am not sure yet about her date but i think that this whole time the Protagonist should slowly start walking her home less and less due to dates. I also think on her "date" should be her confession. Of course I want her ending to still be new and surprising even to fans.

Other things I've planned out:
  1. There will be the stereotypical Pervert Friend not only to play into the genre but to get exposition and back story from. I think he should also be wedged out of the Protagonists life by Monika early on.

  2. After Sayori's fate there should only be about 2 episodes so it doesn't feel repetitive and drive away viewers.

  3. Every time Monika talks to the player or something weird happens, the Protagonists eyes should fade to show he's not retaining any information. Which plays into the next point.

  4. I think the ending should have the protagonist snapping out of it and kill themselves with Yuri's knife. This way it gives a proper end the show because there's no deleting characters in this version. Of course Monika will cry and say her goodbyes and say to watch the show again occasionally.

  5. Monika edits the story with her pink notebook and pen you see in the art for the game.

  6. This one i thought of recently, but i think Monika and the Protagonist should almost be like a Yin and Yang. Where Monika messes with the story, and the show tries to correct it through the protagonist. Which of course feeds into her doing more.

    Here is my episode one rough draft, I attempted to write it as if it was a dubbed anime and named the MC Aki. If you have any constructive criticism or ideas of tropes (faces or anything anime does a lot) that you would like to see, please don't hesitate to comment it below. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TkxwEFHkMRSmqI-Ct63RH2mfBxxfJj_NIYaTB6XJ1Oc/edit?usp=sharing

    If you want to help with the writing, art, music, or anything else, I made a discord for this project as well. https://discord.gg/5MgtaTT

    I hope we can all work together to see our dream of a doki doki anime come true and have it be something we're all proud of! (´ヮ`)


    EDIT:
    So I know you all are hyped for the project and I still read all your comments and i thank you all so much! To be frank I havent worked on this thing since I made the post to be honest. I love the game and hope that i can, but currently I'm working on a manga to anime project which I will link a clip of the storyboard for. ALSO I'm linking the "TEASER TRAILER" for doki doki thats still kinda rough but basically done and my episode 2 thats only half way done. Maybe writing a light novel or something would be more manageable but i love directing so im not sure!
    Anyways I hope you enjoy all the content I've made, Episode 2 was probably my favorite still of the whole series planned out so i hope i can finish it!
