NEWS: Azuki, Dentsu Announce Enter the Garden Anime Anthology Series With 1st Part 'The Waiting Man'

Yeah man, the repeated posts of the same Corpo Shill Speak are really beating the allegations. You want to know how everyone can see directly through you? Because no one that actually gave a shit about this project would care about any of the details you keep harping on. No one is simply a "fan of the IP" of an IP that doesn't even exist yet. Especially a "fan" so dedicated they supposedly take the time to look into the trademark status of stealing another company's name, which apparently is something you declare so easy to do yet this Fabulous New Company couldn't bother to before making a confusing situation. Unless the goal is to be as confusing as possible and trade off others' legitimacy in order to hock worthless NFTs. But who would ever do that? Surely not such a reputable company as this that has done nothing but join in on scam market opportunities! Very cool that you assure us that they're blazing a proud new financing trail that solves the ethical problems of production committees by instead adding yet another layer of useless bullshit so that people can throw money into an empty pit with even less oversight and reliability!

I do believe you aren't being paid though! These kinds of projects rely on gullible idiots to fill the web with lame ass manager speak responses with the idea that eventually they won't be the ones holding an empty bag. That surely they didn't do the equivalent of setting a stack of cash on fire for a literal jpeg that anyone can save to disk. But hey, that market has already completely cratered and all the grifters that were involved with it have moved onto AI scams. But by all means, continue to roll in shit and then assure us you don't smell of it as you fling it on the walls here, but don't be surprised when everyone easily deduces that you're still full of it.

Saying “all NFTs = bad”, is like saying “all tech startups = bad”.

You can see pretty much all the comments in the youtube video and the twitter announcement are NFT pfps and "torii gate emoji +IKZ" which obviously is a reference to their tokens.

But of course the true fun is looking at the sales history of the tokens and seeing how their market worth has fallen between 50% to 90% lower than their peak, around two years ago. So if you're wondering why token holders are so "invested in the IP" and so gung-ho about promoting it... well, there's your why.

On a different note, it's really incredible to see this company claim it's run by passionate anime fans trying to shake up the industry, whilst very proudly showcasing how little the project leaders even knew about the industry before dipping into it that they didn't even bother to check if their company name was already being used, or they knew about it and didn't care.

A lot of accusations in this reply friend. You are really making my "kill 'em with kindness" mentality difficult haha. So to you I will say: let the anime speak for itself

creating our own brand/products using our Azuki IP, etc.

I’ve asked folks on this thread to elaborate on their NFT criticism and they go radio silent.

Hyper capitalism and the patriarchy are the cause of most ills in society, you already know that. I don't have a problem with NFTs, crypto, stock markets, owning real estate or anything else because it's either drop out of society altogether or play the game. And I like having a roof over my head.

But that's not even the card your playing. The stock market, LANDLORDISM, crypto, those ARE the capitalism. Your just saying landlordism isn't the problem, capitalism is the problem. It's [expletive] absurd.

Yeah. Duh, landlordism wouldn't be the problem under communism because it wouldn't exist. Landlordism fundamentally requires private property.

I did state, it's either of these two options.
1) play the game, which includes all types of capitalism to survive (including all the various types of investments.)
2) drop out, go live in the forrest, join a commune, become a monk or nun etc.

Which do you choose?

I prefer those who actually contribute constructive solutions to the broken anime funding model, and so do others like the ex-Crunchy Roll/Netflix Anime exec Henshin who recognises that this blockchain stuff will help change funding models.

You can keep supporting the current broken models which leave anime industry staffers living below the poverty line.

Oh look, another completely new account created specifically to let us know that NFTs are good actually and totally love the IP totally looks interesting, yeah man I totally don't have actual stock on this project having financial success. Cryptobros really think the rest of us were born yesterday.

Quick question, how much are the animators involved in this project getting paid? What steps is this corporation taking to make sure the workers are compensated fairly and enjoy proper working conditions? Asking because nothing in the website gives any indication about it yet you're somehow convinced this is better than the Mappa exploitation model?
