In a December 24 blog post, Zagabond, the founder of Azuki, an anime-inspired web3 project, hinted at a potential token launch for the Anime NFT ecosystem. His announcement came a few weeks after other leading NFT collections, including Milady Maker, Pudgy Penguins, and Doodles NFT collections launched their native tokens. Zagabond has criticized other meme coins for lack of real substance, vision, products, and real use cases, claiming that his Animecoin will supersede all.

Most memecoins hit a ceiling because they lack real substance.

No vision, no products, and no real use cases.

This is why @animecoin will dominate.
