Oh god, Miko, you may have hit something totally awesome! If there is actually a collection with all textless anime intros, not only would that be useful now, but useful... god, for tons of things! If there is actually a collection for that, please please send me a PM or e-mail of it, since I'm sure that'll be useful.
My big limitation is I need full body animations, or at least one frame so I can extract a full dynamic pose. What I'll be doing will be very complex and time consuming, but pretty straight-forward. I'll be taking those full bodies, masking them out of the footage frame by frame, and scaling them through the wormhole as best I can, probably doing it on 2s to make it look more animated. Which will also have to be frame-by-framed (yup, time consuming). The hard part is the footage, and the ideas, so I'll need a lot of help getting the footage or screen shot as well. Any MKVs with softsubs I have I bought OJOSoft media converter and it converts many things into other media, it even has a setting for 720x480 avis and it picks up most MKVs and DVD rips, and it's what I've been using since day one pretty much.
I'm trying to make sure I use iconic or recognizable characters, the type that even if you haven't seen it, you can still in general have a chance of recognizing them. Here is what I have so far:
-Chi's Sweet Home - Intro screenshot, plus she does a little dance on the bottom of the screen that I thought would be cute to see coming from behind the Tardis
-Gintama - Kagura riding Sadaharu in the first intro, plus I was thinking it might be fun to have Gin fade in with a still shot of him picking his nose during the part of the theme where the Doctor showed up in the old version of the show. May be too obscure though.
(Also, I want to have Elizabeth there... if you don't know what he/she is... well... it's complicated ^^)
-Toaru Kagaku no Railgun - Misaka shooting her coin maybe working with the wormhole (theory idea)
-Macross Plus - Plane flying through wormhole
-Gurren Lagann - Second intro has the Dai Gurren flying at the screen with effects as well
-RyoOhki as a ship flying through the wormhole.
-Kiki's Delivery Service
-Strike Witches - Haven't seen it, not sure how difficult it'll be to find a shot of them going away from the screen, but considering the pantsu focus, I'll go out on a limb and say not too difficult (Would love it if I could make it look like Kiki is leading them ^^)
-Little Nemo Adventures in Wonderland - Flying Bed, tons of scenes of it flying away from the camera
-Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan - She does a sort of back flip flying toward the camera in the intro
Game references (haven't thought as much about this since I lacked anime ones, but games and anime are closely linked to many):
Star Fox - Have the R-wings flying through and shoot and maybe blow something up, not sure what yet.
Mario - Have the squid from the underwater levels float across the screen
- Mariokart riding through the wormhole
If you have any thoughts about iconic characters from either games or anime, don't hesitate, I'm running out of time to get my clips done. I'll need into May definitely to make sure I get this and my other clips done, but considering we survived the computer demise last year, I think I can pull it off by the final deadline easily with enough stuff.
EDIT:
Moonbunnychan, can you think of any way to make that a running gag? If you believe you can make it work, it may have some merit. I mean, if I'm making this intro, we already have a Dr. Who setup, so involving the Tardis somehow would make the running gag even stronger since it'd be connected directly to the intro.
Any thoughts on this idea everyone?
EDIT 2:
Is there an anime with someone, a kid or something, riding seated on top of a robot character? I just had a thought based on the new running gag of taking out whatever character is being ridden and replace it with a Dalek in the intro

Maybe I could do it with Gurren Lagann, with Simon sitting inside the Gurren head
