Ok, just some things I think would be interesting as far as animes go.
Story-lines like this.
(main character) Is a man with over grown hair and a distant expression most of the time.
He appears off a train in the pilot episode. His right hand is covered by a long sleeve. he goes to the nearest cafe, sits and drinks coffee. Then suddenly, the world around him explodes in a cascade of fire. The citizens, as the camera pans around, are confused and have the look of their last emotions/thoughts.
The man walks out of the flames and his sleeve burnt off. The hidden hand has flame tatoos all over it.
So the story either rewinds or just goes from there.
It leads you into the life of this man. How he found pandora's box. How he talked to mystified God like apparitions who told him the beginnings of mankind and their purpose. Who lost a poker match with an angel of destruction who branded his left arm with the flames. The flames is the angel's method of telling him something. whenever his mind is complacent with the nature of this world, fire will consume it. So, whatever his perception of reality is, that reality is consumed by fire.
Soon, he finds a woman that he loves and people he cares about. He cannot become complacent. He cannot see them as his reality. He always has to move. But he is now forming thoughts and feelings about how he wants his life to go.
