  For the final task, after much consideration, we decided on two pitches. The first pitch would be of a guy that lives with his best friend.

However, we will narrow it to our favorite few genre-related elements. The protagonist was slightly flawed and insane but very likeable and entertaining. Furthermore, all the characters shown duri...
