The NFT industry has seen massive growth in recent years. This meteoric rise in the industry has given birth to several projects coming out of the woodwork set in various niche communities. One prominent and highly anticipated NFT project is geared towards fans of the wildly popular anime industry, with fans dubbed as Otaku or anime lovers.
Anime is a massively popular art form that has drawn a loyal audience from all over the world. Fans of the art form each have their own unique tastes with the plethora of anime titles that are readily available worldwide. Otaku Origins is an NFT project made by Otakus for Otakus. It is geared towards fans of this cultural art form that is sweeping the globe and mainstream media.
The Otaku Origins NFT collection consists of 5,000 unique anime-inspired digital art pieces for investors and collectors to enjoy. Each token is aesthetically designed to pay homage to popular anime titles with themes and designs relating to specific characters. These designs and attributes range from popular anime titles such as One Piece, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Clover, and Dragon Ball, to name a few. The NFTs will be developed and stored on the Solana blockchain featuring 6 legendary mints, which will soon be expanding as per the development timeline.
“We are not looking to imitate what already exists but improve on the best concepts within the NFT ecosystem,” explained the project developers. “Innovation is our number one goal, and we have pushed ourselves to embed functional as well as creative uniqueness into Otaku Origins. Not only will each Otaku have individual traits and yield different weapons, but they will also have unique stances and poses. This will elevate the artwork as well as the value of our NFTs,” they added.
Each digital art piece has unique attributes that signify its rarity, which in turn affects the value of each token. The Otaku Origins founders are planning to introduce new significant variations between each token, allowing them to create a new rarity metric that remains unexplored among procedurally generated NFT projects today.
The project is positioned to change the game within the NFT market with its authentic anime illustrations, well-designed backgrounds, and high-quality production. Ultimately, Otaku Origins aims to be a community-oriented project by establishing its own Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
“Moving forward, we want to become the first indie manga publishing DAO, which will focus on finding and sponsoring indie authors and artists to help jump-start their own creative goals and stories,” explained the founders. On their mission to create the first independent publishing within the NFT space, the founders are already looking for talented storytellers and artists who want to showcase their talent in the digital landscape.
Holders of the NFT will be able to vote on the story elements of the upcoming manga. This includes the fight outcomes, plot points, character details, and the overall decision-making of the venture. The manga is on a mission to engage its holders in a unique story revolving around the otakus and their fight to escape the Otakuverse. The first chapter of the manga is already in production at the moment, and it is poised to dominate the world of manga through the efforts of its loyal community.
Additionally, Otaku Origins is also poised to launch its own P2E game, partnering with a Canadian game development company to produce the beta phase. The game will feature full 3D fighting mechanics and an immersive story, allowing for a totally unique NFT experience that has never been seen before in the industry.
“Our target audience is a community of Otakus that wants to be directly involved in influencing the story of our comic book series, funding emerging indie artists, and benefit from our P2E gaming mechanics,” shared the developers. The Otaku Origins NFT will be available for minting on the Solana blockchain from February 2 to 8. The founders are currently drawing a whitelist for the project’s pre-sale, where selected individuals will be able to acquire the NFTs at reduced prices and receive additional airdrops for future collections.
There’s nowhere to go but up for the Otaku Origins project. Anime has been such a massive global phenomenon, and fans of the art form are poised to keep growing as more and more unique and remarkable titles are released.
