❗️SHIBUI Flagship Store Opening❗️
Our first brick and mortar store is now open!

Shibui clothing, our manga prints, and our office upstairs all in one place. Completed with a small coffee shop and SHIBUI's specialty coffee and Shibui beans!

We are also excited to partner with @CryptoWives and the non-profit work they do here. Helping women at risk get back on their feet. Shibui Giveback products go straight back into their incredible work to help more women at risk and provide employment.

An exciting flag in the ground for Shibui as we grow our brand, and even more exciting to partner for a good cause.

With all eyes on $ANIME right now, I would like to highlight my favorite project within the Anime niche

Keep reading, because it’s undervalued and under everyone’s radar but is led by a founder that will make you believe! ✊

The project I am talking about is @ShibuiUniverse - consistent of its NFT collections The Soulless Citadel, The Women Warriors and @PiratesFukushu

Let’s break it down:

1) History 🏛️

Founded in 2021, minted out 14 443 NFTs. The three Collections have been in accumulation for >1 year now with the floor prices stable at only 30-40 USD.

2) Partners ⭐️

With a well connected founder well named partners were quick to come. We don’t know publically of everyone behind the scenes, but we know of Janet Batchler, Lee Batchler and Cinlay. The first two wrote the Batman Forever script and Cinlay is the company behind the cinematic and animations of Super Mario Bros, Minions or The Mandalorian.
Big, big names in the industry.

3) Founder 🏅

James Fazio (@shilldianajones) is the main founder behind Shibui Universe and everything it entails. He was working within Hollywood for more than 10 years, and was a scholar for some of the biggest names. He left Hollywood not for fame or glory, but to change it, utilizing the collective force that is storytelling combined with digital collectibles. The most dedicated, genuine and underrated founder of web3.

4) Products 🎮

So far shipped products entail free 3D asset for the first collection, many more 3D assets to be utilized in games such as Nifty Island, two games, one anime episode and one manga chapter. All have been received well by the community but missed out on the ”viral“ hype they deserve.

4) Goals 🚩

Short-term: the launch of the Manga which will tell the entire story of the first screenplay. A successful Manga launch amassing fans in Web2 and through that rewarding holders in Web3 will be a game changer for Shibui’s visibility.

Long-term: the utilization of digital collectibles as a means to take back power from producers and give it to creatives and communities. To change Hollywood and the entire film industry forever.

5) Undervalued - but why? 💸

Now after all these undeniably awesome facts, how come you never heard of Shibui? Or how come the floor price sits at 30 USD?

It boils down to:

a) visibility and accesibility - Shibui first launched on Zilliqa, a rather unknown Layer 1 Blockchain which itself has lost much of the attention it had in '21. That decline only hit the NFT ecosystem of Zilliqa even harder. Almost no projects were left ”alive“ let alone received attention.

b) funding being directed purely towards building atm. Once the team decides to switch that, it’s on.

And that’s it! Thanks if you made it this far 🫡

I‘m bullish on Shibui Universe, because I‘m bullish on Anime, on founders that are here for the right reasons and on small communities that don’t give up or change their opinions based on floor price.

A #Shibui❗️ tribute

With the upcoming launch of Shibui‘s first Manga ”The Eternal Blade“ I want to take a moment and highlight the amazing journey of The Soulless Citadel and what excites me most about its future.

1) The Origin

Shibui started out as a 5k NFT collection on Zilliqa. It was marketed purely as a storytelling project and was one of the first to do so. Minting out took about 8 days and holders received what they were promised - the full story of the Soulless Citadel. What we didn’t know back then is how much more we‘d receive.

2) The first big moves

As the first collection of this size to mint out on Zilliqa it was clear that this success wouldn’t be the last. The Soulless Citadel hired Hollywood writers (Janet and Lee Batchler - known from Batman Forever) and the Hollywood 3D artists behind Minions, The Super Mario Bro‘s movie or Love, Death and Robots. Obviously those news skyrocketed through the Zilliqa ecosystem.

3) The Women Warriors

In continuance with the story, The Soulless Citadel minted out its 2nd collection (In 7 days) and completing the biggest free claim in Zilliqa‘s history with ~800-1000 NFTs being claimed by OG holders.

4) The Expansion

As now Zilliqa‘s undoubted NFT flagship it was time for the biggest move yet. The Soulless Citadel rebranded itself to Shibui Universe and set it’s eyes on going multichain with Ethereum being tackled first. The first episode ever launched - ”Origins“ - as well as the universe of Shibui which entailed the map, languages, animals, vegetation and of course - the curse. The Pirates of Fukushū minted 3 333 NFTs on Ethereum, fulfilling the multichain goals and again, giving back to the community with ~ 1200-1500 NFTs being claimed for free by OG holders.

5) Web2 adoption

Celebrating 3 successes and selling 14 443 NFTs in an industry that had begun declining even before the first mint was amazing ofc, but to truly make it as a Anime/Manga you need a product and Web2 adoption. The Eternal Blade is the key to Shibui’s future. The opportunity to bring people into crypto and NFTs without them even realizing. Because adoption doesn’t have to feel unnatural.

I couldn’t be more excited for the next months and 2025. The vision is coming together - the idea of rewarding fans, integrating them in the story telling like never before and elevating fandom to a before unseen level - is now possible.

James Fazio, Shibui’s founder has a dream. I have never in my life seen anybody work so hard for their dream and in doing so, his dream became my dream. Thank you James and thank you OG fans and new fans.

I‘d like to end this long ass tweet with a quote that has always inspired me.

”You have to try the impossible to achieve the possible“ - by Hermann Hesse

Writing some scenes right now with the @PiratesFukushu in the screenplay. Man, I tell ya what. The Pirates of Fukushū Manga, when we get there, will be epic. I really, really love the whole lore.

It will take some time to get there, but we've formed a great team now to speed up the Mangas.
