A Mini-Sized glimpse of anime 2.0
'Anime' is changing.
While serialized weekly shows & movies are the kings & queens of anime, the formats optimized for TV + movie theaters could use more spice in a social first age. Esp for Azuki, an IP built for anime 2.0.

when Ep.1 comes out, I'm Certain we will face many criticisms.
'too short', 'more story', 'more excitement'...
but, you know what, we are proud of our work.
proud to have brought dozens of anime legends into web3.
proud to be the 1st web3 IP to have produced an anime episode
It's officially April.
Which means episode 1 of the

'But what if the anthology's Ep.1 doesn't hit?'
I get this question often. Answer is simple:

Creating an anime is hard. Building a new IP as deep as Azuki is hard. And yes, we likely will not get everything right in one shot.
But anime is

I got 3 jobs at my role:

2. to build the Azuki world to be deep, engaging yet open to a decentralized community.
3. to time-warp the anime industry that counts in 5~10 years into web3's lightning speed.

Before I was “company”, I was Community. And tbh, I still like to think I am. So what I’m gonna write is mostly from that perspective, but now with more context than before.

In its final form, each shard of the compass not only represents an element, but also the domain's location relative to Hilumia.
And with that, we made an animation to tie it all back together.

一点想法，
web3，不是存量市场，而是黎明前的巨大增量市场。
我们需要说服的，不是友商社区，而是遍布全球上亿的潜在用户。
我们真正的敌人，也不是彼此，而是中心化既有秩序的守门人。

Kinu-san is not only a legend, but also one who crossed-path & inspired our very 🐑, steamboy years ago.
not an exaggeration to say that without her, we might not have Azuki as we know today.

Yes, how we react as community have big impact on how the future of anime unfolds.
