# Azuki Launches Anime Exploration Feature on Web3 Platform ANIME.com

The team behind the NFT project Azuki introduced an innovative anime exploration feature on their Web3 platform, ANIME.com, on the 26th. This platform allows users to easily access detailed information about global anime content in one place.

# Enhancing User Engagement with Detailed Anime Cards

ANIME.com provides comprehensive details on anime series, including an introduction, genre, air date, and the number of seasons and episodes, all organized in a card format. Additionally, it includes information on main characters and voice actors, enhancing the immersive experience for fans. The platform also features character-centric information catering to voice actor enthusiasts, which is a unique approach.

# Intuitive Genre Filtering and Personal Libraries

The genre filter feature stands out, allowing users to quickly navigate desired content through categorized top menus. With a poster-type list and an intuitive interface, user convenience is significantly improved. Users can also save their preferred content to a personal library through a “save” function.

# Full-Stack Animation Strategy

Azuki aims to promote a full-stack animation strategy through ANIME.com, focusing on improving the industry’s existing closed structure and addressing fan disenfranchisement. The platform emphasizes creator-centric content production, establishing a reward structure, and expanding community-based content. Azuki’s goal is for ANIME.com to become a social hub for the animation industry akin to Discord in the gaming sector.

# Solving Structural Issues and Rewarding Fan Contributions

ANIME.com intends to address several structural problems in the animation industry. One primary objective is unifying dispersed fan communities into a single platform. The platform also plans to reward fans for their contributions to content creation and community activities, previously unrecognized contributions.

# Revolutionizing Content Distribution

The platform is set to transform existing content distribution methods, deeming current slow streaming services and limited merchandise sales insufficient to meet fan demand. ANIME.com plans to offer new experiences through social-based streaming, digital merchandise integration, and fan-participatory content distribution. The platform is also designed to cater to Generation Z and international fans, focusing heavily on inclusive interface design.

# Elevating Anime Consumption Experience

Azuki aims to position ANIME.com as the most intuitive platform for discovering and consuming anime. The approach shifts from simple viewership to community-centric, interactive content engagement. To further attract global anime fans, ANIME.com collaborates with Parrot Analytics to produce a monthly Top 10 global anime chart.

# Integrating Blockchain with Anime 2.0 Vision

ANIME.com is intricately linked with Azuki’s blockchain-based Animecoin (ANIME), the core token of the Arbitrum-based AnimeChain. Users can collect digital merchandise, unlock premium content, and receive community rewards through ANIME tokens. Designed to lower entry barriers, Azuki covers transaction fees, distributing over half of the total token supply to fans and Azuki holders to foster a community-centric ecosystem.

# Empowering Community Governance with AnimeDAO

The ANIME token will also be used as funding for AnimeDAO, empowering the community to directly manage the ecosystem. Azuki’s plan includes enabling fans to participate in content creation and project investment.

# Ushering in the ‘Anime 2.0’ Era

Azuki emphasizes that ANIME.com aims to shift the animation industry from a consumption-centric to a creation-centric culture, heralding the ‘Anime 2.0’ era. Fans will become co-creators, engaging in content production and revenue sharing. The platform is structured for token value and community influence to grow in tandem, combining fan-governance, digital content ownership, and participatory reward systems with traditional anime industry economics.

As ANIME.com leverages Web3 technology, it remains to be seen if it can bridge the gap between the traditional anime industry and new economic models, creating a holistic platform focused on fans and creators.
