Unfortunately, it is. It's called copyright violation, and per the
argument that's been going on over the last two days here on the FFML,
you could get in trouble for it.
If you wanted to make money off it, I would suggest changing a couple
of minor things (i.e., anime character names, places, and very
specific concepts, then sell it to a publisher as ORIGINAL fiction).
Mostly, we do this here anyway for love of anime, practicing our
fledgling writing skills (for us would-be author types), or what have
you. I think it's better to have people appreciate your free labor of
love than to have the legal sharks at Shokugakan/Viz or Kodansha
hunting you down for illegal actions, ne?
Just a thought or two

But I got an email saying that it was illegal to post messages about
my
fanfic for sale. Is this true? I wouldn't want to offend anyone.
Also,
THE $#!* hits the fan for Warrior Nun Areala! I saw a newscast on
WPIX
NYC, on WED 5/7/1997 that said that nuns at Saint Vincent college
had
cought on an were gravely offended (duh, I wonder why). The
newscast
also showed clips from the Warrior Nun Anime that is in production.
I
really have no enforcable oppinion on this, since I am Catholic and
yet a
Ben Dunn fan, but if anyone would like to say something, reply.
