    My idea on a NM
    Because anima is a life energy deal(stealing this from an anime) it could make sense that it creates an entity of some sort. Kinda like in Index(have to watch it to know what I mean). So, when x amount of anima has been used through out all of the servers, it will spawn this entity.
    Why do I say all the servers? Well, this is a way they could make use of their, dungeon finder deal they are going to do(I don't like by the way). So, what will happen is when it spawns(it can even wonder the world as a ghostly figure that you can't attack, until its a whole body) it will select 20 people from each server whom last teleported(that are level 50) and spawn them in an instance with this entity. Now, it wouldn't have any special drop, it would just be a fun random activity that we the people caused. (something along those lines please discuss this!)

    Many good ideas ! What if this wandering anime could just build up in one place. Let's say there is a big tree or rock with sculptured entrance (doors). Whole used anime will gather in that sculpture and create gate. Window will be open for let say 1h and accessible after finishing some maze quest. It's plain idea but less simple minded quests and monsters then better.

    This is actually pretty neat.

    The only serious criticism that I can offer is that when you say it randomly picks the last 20 people and randomly warps them, I think that could cause issues.

    When you are randomly warped into an instanced fight, possibly while you are on a low level job trying to exp, or on a crafting job etc etc. I think there should be a time warning, and possibly the ability to pass your spot to the next person.

    Asides from that, I think you are onto a good idea sir.
