We are two collaborators who are ready to see their story come to life. We want to share a piece of the anime with you so at least you know what it’s about. If it is a bit hard to read then you can also read the summary and part of the episode on here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/25365009-theremnant
With further ado here is TheRemnant an action-adventure, fantasy, and spiritual anime.
The screen is black and a young girl speaks with fear and doubt in her voice, “When you cry for help, no one seems to notice. You hope they see your tear-stained face, you hope they see through your counterfeit smile, and you hope they find the scars, the fresh cuts and wounds on your mutilated wrists, but they don’t. They told me that God does; that God sees all of my sorrow and pain, so I turned to him.” Disgusted Scoff ”But then I realized that God…was a made up work of fiction; he was just as false as my plastic smile.”
SCENE ONE: BATHROOM
The darkness fades away and opens up with a bathroom scene. The bathtub is filling up with steaming hot water.
There is a shiny, powder blue marble floor with a pool of fresh blood on it.
The camera slowly travels up to reveal a soft limp hand with blood trickling down it. The droplets fall into the pool of blood that has already formed. As the camera continues to climb up it reveals a petite wrist that is slashed vertically and horizontally. There are also faded scars below the fresh, major cut. A teenage girl holds a silver razor in her right hand; she drops the razor and it hits the floor dramatically in slow motion. She is slumped on the toilet seat lifelessly. A small cross necklace hangs from around her neck.
SCENE TWO:
Blaring ambulance sirens fill the air. A red and white ambulance truck is parked in front of a two-story house. The house is painted off-white and has a porch. There is a dark brown welcome mat in front of the door; the mat reads, “May all who enter be blessed.”
Two white men wearing white uniforms work together as they push and pull a loaded gurney out of the front door of the house. Both of their faces are darkened and blurred out.
The girl on the gurney is Japanese. Her green eyes are halfway-open and dimmed; her long black hair is pulled back into a ponytail and she has long banes matted to her forehead by sweat and water. Her left wrist is wrapped in thick gauze, however, blood seeps through it.
Curious neighbors flood the area and surround the house, their faces are also darkened and hidden.
The Japanese girl closes her eyes all the way as the scene fades out. [INDENT=6]

SCENE THREE: PRESENT, HANEDA AIRPORT (TOKYO, JAPAN) 2013
An international airplane is landing on a runway.The plane lands as the ramp agents-wearing bright orange caution shirts-guide the plane with their marshalling wands. It comes to a full stop and a large group of diverse passengers exit the plane.
The camera shows a panoramic view of all of the passengers. Finally, the camera closes in on a specific teenage girl. She is wearing winter clothes: long red coat, brown boots, dark jeans, and a purple purse. Both of her wrists are covered with gray arm warmers. She is wearing a green backpack and is pulling along a dark green roller suitcase. In the clear identification pocket on the suit case her name is neatly written though it is slightly smudged: Lee, Shikauhno.
Shikauhno (Shih-kahn-oh) stands in the midst of the wind as the other passengers pass her by. She has long black hair with long banes-covering one eye-bright green eyes, and a solemn look on her face. The wind graciously blows and she blinks as she readjusts her hair with her right hand.
After a moment of taking her surroundings in, she finally walks on.
SCENE FOUR: HANEDA AIRPORT, COFFEE SHOP
Shikauhno is walking through the inside of the airport. It is not crowded; civilians bustle to and fro in a hurry. She finds a small coffee shop in the airport and stands in line with only one person ahead of her. Shikauhno hands the cashier 500 Yen. Shikauhno’s arm warmer crawls up and reveals her bandages underneath. The cashier questioningly looks at her as she gives her a large steaming coffee cup.
Shikauhno lazily bows her head and hurriedly walks away.
