This looks a lot like something my son has just written. He's always writing stories and building websites dedicated to his favourite things. Of which, Anime is one.
Code FADE IN:”ATTACK ON TITUNS PT 1” |
|
Don't put the title after FADE IN: Just the FADE IN: will suffice.
The above is correct in that you don't need to use EXT. or INT. Also in that it doesn't need a DAY and NIGHT. Space is space. However there should be a space either side of the hyphen. Like so:
SPACE - MILKY WAY GALAXY
Code The story begins in outer space. |
|
Screenplay writing is visual. You write in visuals. So you can't tell us that the story starts in space. You must show us. And you have. The slugline, which is a visual reference of location, already alerts us to the fact that we are in space. So this sentence is unnecessary.
Code Various characters from
World’s Collide explains the epic tale as to why they will
soon come together as the audience is drifted away in many
various parts of the universe. |
|
Again, you're telling us stuff that the characters will do anyway as soon as they show up. Or you could use VO and describe them later. Simply describe the voices instead.
Only write what the viewer will see on screen.
Code KARI (NARRATOR)
In the Time Long Forgotten in a time of
great turmoil and depression befell great
warriors. Godlike leaders born to restore
order in their failing universes |

You're not supposed to have a line space between the character name and the dialogue. What would solve this issue for you is free screenwriting software. It does it all for you. Might be a little strange at first but you'll get used to it in no time. Try Celtx, Trelby or Adobe. All free.
What you're also doing with the narration is telling us the whole back story in one massive chunk with very little visuals. This is something we call exposition. It's ugly and usually we bury it behind exciting visuals and/or conflict so that it is disguised, and therefore tastes better, like vegetables in a stew.
Code Silhouettes of the HOLY ONES and the GLUTTONS clashed in
the final frontier (space) tearing the galaxies almost
completely apart the Multiverse was red like blood with
Black huge patches and numerous of huge debris and dead
bodies float around. |
|
You should write in the present. So rather than
clashed, they
clash right now, right in front of us.
I had a quick read and story-wise this is very good, I look forward to reading more of your stuff in the future.
