What would be a good subject to write a fantasy novel on?

Please list me a few. I love Key’s Clannad, Air and Kanon.
I think Shuffle! is pretty nice as well.
I also really like Myself;Yourself and Footprints in the Sand

Anime recommendations please?
Romance with a male as the main character. It doesn’t have to be Harem (Lead guy with billions of available women) and it’d be amazing if it’s Fantasy ish or Action ish.

I’ve also watched:
Spice and Wolf
5cm/second
Fate/Stay Night

Thanks

What would be a good subject/element to write a fantasy novel on?

I’m trying to write a young adult fantasy novel. What are some keys to creating a successful story? 1.) Plot, 2.) Setting, etc…

I’m writing a fantasy novel, have completed it but still stumped on what to name this really cool race I cam up with. I want it to be memorable, not cheesy, and preferably have a deeper meaning.
Maybe in another language?

I love star wars, watching anime, and like a good fantasy novel here and there.

=)
touché it’s not really secret is it, you know what I mean lol

you’re the DM of your DnD group. You like physics publications and fantasy novels. You’ve probably never had a girlfriend. You’re… well, a geek.

Along comes a good-looking girl who joins your DnD campaign, and seems pretty enthusiastic. She’s a bit quiet, but listens to all your long explanations with a smile. She seeks you, in particular, out if she needs help or has a question. She isn’t as anime savvy as you are, but goes home and watches each recommendation to the end without fail.

Do you think she likes you? Would you be too shy to make a move?

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a fantasy novel for children by C. S. Lewis. Published in 1950 and set circa 1940, it is the first-published book of The Chronicles of Narnia and is the best known book of the series. Although it was written and published first, it is second in the series’ internal chronological order, after The Magician’s Nephew. Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.[1] It has also been published in 47 foreign languages.
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia is a novel for children by C. S. Lewis, written in late 1949 and first published in 1951. It is the second-published book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, although in the overall chronological sequence it comes fourth.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader[1] is a fantasy novel for children by C. S. Lewis. Written in 1950, it was published in 1952 as the third book of The Chronicles of Narnia. Current editions of the series are numbered using the internal chronological order making Voyage of the Dawn Treader the fifth book.
The Silver Chair is part of The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of seven fantasy novels written by C. S. Lewis. It was the fourth book published and is the sixth book chronologically. It is the first book published in the series in which the Pevensie children do not appear. The main characters are Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole. Queen Lucy, Queen Susan, and King Edmund are not in this story, but High King Peter is mentioned by several Narnians in the book. It is one of the series of the Caspian Triad, in which King Caspian the Tenth is part of.
The book is dedicated to Nicholas Hardie, the son of Lewis’s fellow Inkling Colin Hardie.
The Horse and His Boy is a novel by C. S. Lewis. It was published in 1954, making it the fifth of seven books published in Lewis’ series The Chronicles of Narnia. The books in this series are sometimes ordered chronologically in relation to the events in the books as opposed to the dates of their original publication. In this alternate ordering, The Horse and His Boy is the third book, taking place during the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Although it was published after The Silver Chair (due to Lewis not wanting to break up the Caspian triad), it was written before it, so in written order it is fourth. The story is also referred to as a story-within-a-story in the fourth published book, The Silver Chair. The Horse and His Boy is the only Narnia book which does not feature children from our world as the story’s main characters, although the adult Queen Lucy, Queen Susan, and King Edmund (all of whom first appear in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) do appear in the book, and the dynamics of the story develop from Susan’s interactions. Peter, the High King, appears in the book unrecognized by Cor but is also mentioned frequently by the Narnians.
The Magician’s Nephew is a fantasy novel for children written by C. S. Lewis. It was the sixth book published in his The Chronicles of Narnia series, but is the first in the chronology of the Narnia novels’ fictional universe. Thus it is an early example of a prequel.
The novel is initially set in London in 1900. The principal characters are two pre-adolescent children, Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer, Digory being the younger Professor Kirke from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The pair have adventures after being transported to other worlds by the sorcerous experiments of Digory’s Uncle Andrew. It features the genesis of Narnia, and the introduction of Jadis, antagonist of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, into the newly created Narnia. While begun shortly after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, it took Lewis nearly six years to complete, and includes a number of autobiographical elements from Lewis’s own life. It explores a number of themes with general moral and Christian implications including atonement, original sin, temptation and the order of nature.
This book is dedicated to "the Kilmer family".
The Last Battle is the seventh and final novel in The Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. It won the prestigious Carnegie Medal in Literature in 1956. As the battle progresses, all of the animals are killed (many by the dwarfs, who attack both sides) and Eustace, Jill and Poggin are thrown into the stable where the false Aslan was kept. Tirian, earlier on, had thrown Shift into the stable and Tash, who now haunts the stable, swallowed the ape whole. Tirian, left alone and fighting for his life, drags Rishda Tarkaan, the leader of the Calormenes, into the stable. Much to the Calormen leader’s surprise and terror, Tash appears, and snatches him up under an arm. Peter, Edmund, Eustace, Lucy, Jill, Polly, and Digory appear before them, (Susan does not appear in Narnia because she has stopped believing in it, thinking of it only as some silly childhood game) and Peter orders Tash to leave.

Hopefully they go off the books and follow what has been written for the books sound really good and the movies are amazing.
Just because the books may be boring does not mean the movies will be. Some of them may not be like the book. Some of the books took place in the movies already. It would be nice to see them use the last battle in a movie. I was only putting this on for there are some people that want to see more of the movies of Narnia. If you are not one of them then I am sorry.

I have assembled what I think is the toughest army in the world and my question is, who thinks they can come up with a stronger force than what I have assembled?

My first line of defense is an army of 30 billion terminators in the form of maids, waitresses and little girls. These terminators are trained to use the top of the line military weapons and are able to go in to combat with any mobile suit. Finally the characters I choose to lead my first line of defense are Zero from Code Geass and Martian Manhunter

My second line of defense will be comprised of The Joint Shinobi forces from the Naruto series and this army will also include the Akatsuki. Among this army includes Lucy from Elfen Lied, Afro Samurai, Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, and Shiki Ryougi from Kara no Kyoukai. Finally the character leading the second line of defense is Light Yagami

My last line of defense will be comprised of the following characters
Ryuk from Death Note
Goku and Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z
Truth from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Haruhi Suzumiya from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu
Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen
Eucliwood Hellscythe from Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?
Superman
I myself will also be part of the last line of defense and the only weapon I will have is the Death Note.

Now who here thinks they can come up with a more powerful force and defeat me and my army in an epic battle between the greatest characters ever to be created in history.

NOTE: You can not have God or any other religious figure on your side. Only god like characters that have been mentioned in either fantasy novels, sci-fi films, anime, comic books or manga.
