I'm getting into screen writing and I wanted to start off by writing a pilot to a Teen Drama type show.
It wasn't intentional to have the same elements from this anime show I watched, but it's actually looking like the same type of show. Different main storyline but I have things such as the main character joins the track team (a way to impress the lead actress), the main actress is always upset with the protagonist, he likes her even though shes upset with him etc. Those things were pretty much coincidence but I feel like if someone ever read/watched a completed version they would be able to say "this is like 'anime show".
I have already thought of different aspects and scenarios for this storyline that is a lot different from that anime show.
Could I get in trouble for that?
