In a world with two existing dominant species sharing an unstable and uneasy peace between their respective nations, that peace is disrupted by a seemingly random terrorist attack on the Drawns. It doesn't take long for investigators to realize the weapon used was Sprite in nature. If the Sprites have attacked, they've broken the treaty established decades ago. As the Drawns prepare for war, the Sprites amass their armies as well. One investigator however starts to realize that this attack may not be what it seems, and must put a stop to it before both sides lose this war.
Since the days of my first Flash animation, I've gotten flak about using sprites in my work. While some accept that I'm trying to pay homages to a great video game series, others write it off has having no artistic talent so I just "steal the graphics and make them move." Admittedly, many sprite movies are out there and a good deal of them add to this animosity to sprite Flashes. After I complete my series, The Next Robot Master, I intend to explore this issue head on with "Aniwars."
Aniwars is designed to point out the differences between sprite and hand-drawn works and bring them together in dramatic style. Sprites in the movie have greater numbers but have the tendancy to be limited in their abilities; the Drawns don't have as many able-bodied individuals to fight on their side, but have a wider range of variety and ability. I'm planning on this to be a three-part series, and a much darker (in terms of both animation style and storyline) tone than "The Next Robot Master."
