When Unegen meets a fellow shaman, Ghazan, at the gateway to Tam, another realm, he is gifted with a vision inducing sap. Forced to flee his tribe, Unegen finds Ghazan in the Omni Desert, where Unegen is tricked into taming a demon, that Ghazan uses as a disguise to smuggle himself past the gatekeeper, Yabash, and into Tam. Furious, the gatekeeper Yabash tasks Unegen with hunting down Ghazan.

Example logline is in the same vein as anime.
Gaps: WHY is your protag forced to flee his tribe, WHY does this trickster need into another realm, WHAT is the goal? Think about these in order to strengthen your logline.
Example:
“A shaman hunter is awakened when the demonic tricks of a fugitive force him into the shadow realm to stop the theft of shapeshifting talisman.”
Hope you find this constructive, take care.
Thanks Odie! Answers are below – right now we’re trying to loop in a few different plotlines which unfold in season one, as well as the overarching plotline. Having trouble squeezing all these in which is causing some gaps in our logline.
WHY – Unegen is forced to leave his tribe after being falsely accused of murdering his khan.
WHY – Ghazan (antagonist) needs to get into Tam (the other realm) to secure control of The Sap.
WHAT – Unegen has to stop Ghazan from gaining control of The Sap supply, because with that power he will gain control over both realms.
UPDATED SEASON ONE LOGLINE
After a visceral hallucination caused by a powerful substance known as The Sap, Unegen is falsely accused of murdering his khan using blood magic. Forced to flee, he must find the stranger, Ghazan, who gave him the sap, and discover the true origins of its power.
