Here's my conversation with the Primeval fan:

Toonking1985: Say HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated could you please help me with an idea on Idea Wikia

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Maybe. What is it?

Toonking1985: I plan of making a Primeval anime TV series and it would be set in Japan

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Ok. What exactly do you need from me for it? Ideas for creatures? Plot advice? Character ideas?

Toonking1985: All three

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Ok. For creatures, there is one I have designed myself. It's called a Wildren. It's basically a bipedal cat creature with amber-colored fur, five feet in height, and a descendant of the domestic cat that lives in Britain 2-5 million years into the future. I loosely based it on the Dungeon and Dragons species, that I found by google searching the word. You may use it as long as you credit me with the original idea. Below is the official description of the creature.

The Wildren lived from 2-5 million years in the future. It lived in the woodland forests of what used to be Great Britain. They stood about 5 feet tall. They were moderately intelligent, having something resembling a language, and being one of the only two species in the area immune to the pheromones of the Future Bird. They lived in tribal societies, with rank defined by weapons. The lowest ranked Wildren used knives, then axes, then spears. Only the chief of the tribe could use a sword. The Wildren's culture resembled Native Americans, although they do not appear to have a religion. Despite their ferocity on the battlefield, enough to earn the title of 20th deadliest creature of all time, they have one weakness interited from their domestic cat ancestors: the complete inability to ignore the little red dots. The Wildren also have an enemy, keeping the age-old enmity alive: Cats vs Dogs. The Wildren's rival is the apex predator of the forest: The Future Wold. It is these that the Wildren use their weapons on.

For plot, I will tell you what I do: Before I even start writing, I plan out the entire plot of the episode, and at times plan things episodes in advance. And I also have the rule that nothing is finalized until it is posted. You can always change anything about a plot at any time before you post it.

For characters, I just recommend a diverse cast, to avoid any claims of racism or similar things. You also may need a nerdy character to behave like Connor Temple, for comic relief. It also may help to have a character where it is significant to make them smile or laugh. And don't get attached to anyone, because you will have to kill some of them off to make the threats seem real.

Toonking1985: Well what creatures from this suggestion list should appear in the series

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Maybe, Arthropleura, Brontoscorpio, any Future creatures, Carno, Deinosuchus, Didelphodon, Dilo, Dire Wolf, Dunkle, Giant Ant, Giant Bee, Giga, definitely Gigantopithecus, Gigantoraptor, Gorgonopsid, Haast's Eagle, Kapro, Labyrinthodont, Liopleurodon, definitely Megalania, definitely Megalodon, Mosasaur, Postosuchus, Prehistoric Dragon, Quetzal, Raptor, Silurian Scorpion, Smilodon, Spinosaurus, Terror Bird, Tree Creeper, Tyrannosaurus, and Utahraptor.

Toonking1985: So do you think it should be a team of teenagers led by their science teacher?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Teens led by science teacher sounds interesting, but remember, some characters will have to be killed off.

Toonking1985: And do you think there should be team pet(s) you know just like Rex, Sid and Nancy or no?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Probably some, like the Didelphodon.

Toonking1985: What do you think would be a perfect title for the anime series?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Jurassic Japan?

Toonking1985: Now do you think these teenagers should be high school students or college students?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Probably college. Better for the occasional character death.

Toonking1985: Now what do you think the plot of the series should be like?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Probably a discovery episode, where they encounter their first anomaly, and deal with it, then followed by the "creature attack" episodes, where they learn and deal with subsequent anomalies by attacks on civilians, followed by one of them building a detector. Occasionally, there will be people trying to exploit the anomalies, only to die at the end of their arc. Basically, a standard Primeval alternate team plot.

Toonking1985: And what do you think should be the first creature the team encounters? And speaking of team what do you think this team should be called and how many members should their be in this team?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Maybe a Smilodon for the first creature, and there should probably be around 6 on the team, but never above 7. 5-7 is the range.

Toonking1985: And what do you think should be the name of the team?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: I'll leave that one up to you. It's your fanfiction, so I can't really control every detail. It will almost certainly have A in it though, for Anomaly.

Toonking1985: Okay. Also do you think the Smilodon should have the same design as the one from the British Primeval series or should it have a different design?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: I'd personally prefer that Primeval and Primeval: New World have precedence over all others, so in other words, yes.

Toonking1985: Now what do you think Gigantopithecus should look like in the anime series?

Bigfoot-like (like in Richard Attenborough's Natural History Museum Alive)

Yeti-like (like in Primal Rage)

King Kong-like

or

Orangutan-like (like in the 2016 remake of Jungle Book)

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Probably Bigfoot-like. I have a theory that Bigfoot is a surviving Gigantopithecus that crossed over the Bering Land Bridge (though in the series, could be one that came through an anomaly).

Toonking1985: Now what do you think the art style of the series should be like?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: I shall be honest. Pokemon is the only one of those shows I know. However, there is nothing wrong with its animations. I think it will be a wonderful choice.

Toonking1985: Now which design do you think is close to what you have in mind for the design of Gigantopithecus? HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: MonsterVerse.
 * The Original 1933 design
 * The King Kong vs. Godzilla design
 * The King Kong Show design
 * The King Kong Escapes design
 * The 1976 design
 * The King Kong Lives design
 * The Mighty Kong design
 * The 1998 Mighty Joe Young design
 * The Kong: The Animated Series design
 * The 2005 design
 * The Joe DeVito design
 * The Kong: King of the Apes design
 * The MonsterVerse design
 * The Ready Player One design
 * The HewyToonmore design

Toonking1985: And how big do you think Gigantopithecus should be in the series?

Kong size

Mighty Joe Young size

Elephant size

Gigantopithecus size

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: About 10-feet tall from head to toe. In other words, Gigantopithecus size.

Toonking1985: And what do you think should be the second creature(s) the team encounters?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Perhaps a flock of Terror Birds. Phorusrhacos longissimus,

Toonking1985: Now what do you think the Terror Birds design should look like in the series?

Like in the 3rd series

Like in the 4th series

Like in New World

or

A new design

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: 3rd series.

Toonking1985: And what characters from the British series do you think should appear in the anime series

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Definitely Connor, and probably Abby. Maybe even Matt. And if you want original characters, why not have a plot explaining and resolving the mystery of the Second Matt Anderson. Who is he? Is he a clone? A past or future version of Matt? Is his intentions benevolent, or malicious?

Toonking1985: 1. Hmm I'll think about it. 2. Do you have any ideas of characters for the anime series?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: How about a character that basically has watched every creature series, read every book, and seen every movie? For references, see Hannah Nette in my series of Primeval Fanon Wiki called Primordial.

Toonking1985: 1. Okay. 2. So what do you imagine Gigantopithecus' design to look like (you know in details)?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: I personally would have it as an upright 10-foot tall ape, that is clearly the inspiration behind Bigfoot. This fact would be speculated by our everything-and-anything character.

Toonking1985: Now what do you think Didelophodon should look like in the anime series?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Hmm. Maybe like Walking With Dinosaurs. How good is your drawing?

Toonking1985: Really good why do you ask?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Because if you are good a drawing, you could make your own designs and we need not have it resemble existing incarnations of the creature, nor use existing images.

Toonking1985: Well I use existing images as placeholders until the real designs are made

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: That works.

Toonking1985: Okay now what species of raptor should the Raptor be identified in the anime series?

Velociraptor

Utahraptor

Deinonychus

Dromaeosaurus

or

Another species of raptor that's not on this list?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Deinonychus.

Toonking1985: Now you do know that the anime series would be set in Japan and most of the characters would be Japanese right?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Yes, but not all. Maybe some are immigrants. Plus, a mostly Japanese cast still avoids claims of racism.

Toonking1985: 1. Good point. 2. How old do you think the college teens should be? Like I imagine them to be 17 to 19 but I wanna hear your ideas

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Probably closer to 19. Like I said, some of them are going to have to be killed off, so it'd be better if they were older.

Toonking1985: Now you got any ideas for the science teacher who is a mentor to the team

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Maybe an aged 40s-50s man with a little brown hair, but mostly bald, with wiry glasses.

Toonking1985: What future creatures do you think should appear in the anime series

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Obviously Future Predator, though I would let them gain experience before tangoing with that one. Probably Future Reptile, and Future Bird. Really I wouldn't mind seeing all of them. I;ve got pretty good descriptions for some of them.

Toonking1985: And do you got any ideas of what prehistoric or future creatures should appear in the series? (you know that's not from the list above)

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Well, there is that Wildren I mentioned earlier. In terms of prehistory, perhaps an undiscovered species of 40-foot oviraptorosaur called Ornithodynastes. I got the idea from a guy on DeviantArt called Hellraptor. And I just got a wonderful idea. What if there was a villainous character that was capturing creatures from the anomalies and creating hybrids from their DNA?

Toonking1985: Now what do you think should be the name of the science teacher? I imagine him to be named after some famous Japanese paleontologist like:

Wataru Ishijima

Katsura Oyama

Chonosuke Okamura

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: How about his surname be Serizawa?

Toonking1985: But what should his first name be?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Maybe Wataru.

Toonking1985: And I have this idea that he was an old friend of Nick Cutter which would explain why nows alot about the anomalies what do you think?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Excellent suggestion.

Toonking1985: And I also have this idea that the Didelphodon would be modled after tanuki aka Japanese raccoon dog, and in the series the team's pet Didelphodon would be often mistaken for a tanuki

What do you think of this idea?

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Kinda like everyone calls Rex a lizard, though he's actually a member of a different classification. I like it.

Toonking1985: Also I have this idea that Frankenstein's monster would appear an episode in the series (since Frankenstein and Primeval are both science fiction) and I imagine there would be scene where it fights a creature and it ends with both of them falling off a cliff to there deaths

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: I don;t know about Frankenstein's monster. If you give them one monster, they'll be wanting others. And Dracula would be over-stepping boundaries some. But that doesn't mean we couldn't have a similar creation created from creature corpses. Or hybrids. But you can reference it. Maybe one of the characters is watching the 2004 Van Helsing when they get a call about an anomaly, or maybe a character encounters a hybrid and references it. Something,

Toonking1985: Well Frankenstein is science fiction just like Primeval so I think he would fit in with the science fiction tone of Primeval what do you think? And I think the Frankenstein monster is the more realistic out of all the classic monsters

And I also imagine that events of the Frankenstein novel actually happened (you know just like in the Brendan Fraser movie Journey to the Center of the Earth and Dwayne Johnson's Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) and I imagine that an anomonly appeared in the burning windmill that Frankenstein escaped into to escape the angry mob and he passed through the anomonly into the present

What do you say about these thoughts and ideas

HeWhoMustNotBeAggravated: Interesting. I guess.
