Major League Baseball enters the world of Demon Slayer ⚔️
As MLB celebrates games in Japan, baseball has partnered to release a Demon Slayer short film that depicts the evolution of Japanese baseball through the continuous passing of the torch across generations
Product around the collaboration will be revealed soon
So we finally know the partnership that @Zagabond teased.
@animecoin are partnering up with Parrot analytics to create a Billboard top 100-style chart, but for anime instead.
This is a lowkey move that won't move any chart prices, but long-term I think this is very bullish.
In 5-10 years, I wouldn't be surprised if Azuki owns the entire mindshare around anime. This is why they bought anime(dot)com, this is why they want to become the "discord but for anime" and are now creating this top-40 chart.
Azuki is trying to become the default destination of anything anime.
It reminds me of what Pudgy has been doing with GIFs in Web2. People are using Pudgy GIFs everywhere without even knowing that they're NFTs - they just use them cause they're cute and they're becoming part of normie culture.
Same thing will happen with these charts.
I wouldn't be surprised if by end of 2025, you'll see anime youtubers and streamers referencing these charts.
"Did you see what's #1 on the animecoin top 40 this week" will become part of anime culture.
This move to me is Azuki setting the foundation to become THE go-to place for everything anime.
azuki deserves a shoutout for rewarding some of their earliest, most die hard believers that stuck it through thick and thin
to the community: this one’s earned

Remember these?
Here is the making of the anime sticker packs.
Making stickers is actually an art form, the actual useful knowledge is pretty well kept behind paid walls as they are somewhat of a trade secret? I spent alot of time researching and testing to refine my craft.
Here, Imma share some of that knowledge with you.
Enjoy!
A few months after Azuki's mint I booked a 1:1 call with @DemAzuki and mentioned I thought it would be cool if there was an @Azuki coffee brand and talked about how dropping an IP-forward, narrative consumer brand would be cool. He said "you should do it". And then @average_sunday was born. We did our first drop in August 2022 in collaboration with a craft coffee roaster in Vancouver, utilizing our @BEANZOfficial IP on package and doing our small part to bring Azuki IP to the masses.
Huge gratitude for Dem and @emilyrosemcg in walking the walk to bring the builder community together to do fun and inspiring things. I have a feeling this next leg with @animecoin is just going to add fuel to the fire.

After everything that we’ve been through.
The highs, the lows, the FUD, the bull, the bear.
Our conviction will be rewarded exponentially with @animecoin
Seeing @Azuki everywhere in the timeline lately. Yappin about @animecoin and seeing it rise the ranks of @_kaitoai is pretty cool. It shows how powerful a community can be for a brand and it showcases the extra effort Azuki has gone to build this community of die hard fans.
Im relatively new to holding assets from the project, and I’ve been loving what I’ve seen so far from the project and its incredible community
I’ve also attended the Vancouver meetup earlier this year, was not a holder and had an amazing experience. Excited to be part of it now
