TL; DR
-
(This is a quiet genius) Arbitrum, Azuki and others are launching a blockchain-powered anime network called ‘AnimeChain’, to give fans of anime access to Web3.
Full story
When you go beyond the microscopic level and break through ‘the quantum realm’ – physics doesn’t work quite right.
(Particles get tangled, things start popping in and out…)
The same thing happens when you fall into a certain level of anime fandom.
Suddenly, owning action figures in your mid-thirties is not only accepted, but celebrated. Dressing up isn’t just for Halloween, and (for some reason) all your headphones have cat ears.
We’re not knocking by the way! We have a little bit of it in us.
(Hell, Chevy was designing and manufacturing replica lightsabers well into his late teens – instead of idk, dating?).
We say all this so that you don’t dismiss what we want to tell you…
The Arbitrum Foundation, Azuki and the Web3 Foundation are teaming up to launch a blockchain-powered anime network called ‘AnimeChain’, which aims to drive fans of anime to Web3 through content, games, merchandise and NFTs.
That all sounds a bit vague… but think about the anime fan in your life – what do they cherish?
-
Cartoons? Yes.
-
Their Nintendo collection? Absolute.
-
That Dragon Ball ZT shirt that, when warned, comes with a verbal reminder that it was “a Japanese release”? Mhmmm.
-
Plus a boatload of various collectibles? It is a given.
Now let’s connect the dots…
☝️ (1) = content, (2) = games, (3) = merchandise and (4) = NFTs ☝️
So yeah, a “blockchain-powered anime network” sounds weird at first, but it could end up being a match made in Heaven.
Bravo AnimeChain, bravo!
