Its an intriguing idea. I am unsure as to how you could convey an anime
theme. I think for something totally out-there like this, you will be
forced to use the pixmap engine. Some ideas:
-The buttons could resemble speech bubbles like in the comics/manga.
-errors could have the eardrop that anime characters get when
conveying embarrassment.
-warnings could be the jagged bubbles, suggesting the computer is
angry at you.
-The drop down menus could be scrolls and such like.
I cannot think of this kind of theme already being made. As such I
suggest downloading a really good pixmap theme from gnome-look, and
getting comfortable with that particular engine. Making a mockup in
Inkscape/Gimp may help you visualize what you want your final theme to
look like. Please keep us informed, because I would love to see where
this may go.
