COP3: The Narrative

In order to create a narrative that wouldn't require an excessive amount of planning or time i've decided that it would be better to adapt a work rather than come up with one from scratch. 

I felt that Mortal Engines would be a good book to adapt for multiple reasons. Smaller reasons include my familiarity with the subject matter, it's a book i've read through multiple times. More importantly it fits the demographic that anime also mainly aims at. While anime does have a very large audience the most popular form of anime is shonen, aimed at teenage males, which is also the demographic that Mortal Engines is aimed at. Furthermore there are story elements that would fit well into anime, being incredibly action packed with a lot of dramatic story elements and self reflection from Thomas, giving the ability to have scenes of self reflection for the sake of drama that is all too prevalent in anime.

I chose chapter 3, a sequence where Thomas is taken around the the gut of London before he witnesses someone attempt to stab his idol before giving chase and getting pushed down a disposal chute. This would give me the chance to anime action and more static scenes to illustrate key differences in both of these elements.
