Currently airing anime adaptation Muv-Luv Alternative is selling keyframes of the show as NFTs, if you buy enough of them you'll show up in credits

The most cursed timeline. Selling anime screenshots as NFTs.

It looks like age is partnering directly with this NFT company based in Ikebukuro, in Tokyo, which is, in their words,

Sorry. I'm just going to right click save that, not spend money on keyframes that are just a URL pointing towards an image (when the hosting goes down, by the way, the NFT is worthless because the URL is broken).

This is how they describe their use:

The true money is on in-between frames with the characters off-model.

I was wondering why it took fifteen years for this to get an anime.

Turns out that NFT was the reason(?).

I've heard the show itself isn't doing so great, especially given the impossible task of adapting such a long story into a much shorter series, so I guess this type of gimmick is an option.

Yeah. They actually just compressed 40 hours of VN (muv-luv extra and unlimited) into a single 20 minute episode via episode 2. This is very clearly a cashgrab with insufficient budget to do it justice by age.

Somehow sakuga as NFT is extremely predictable yet came out of nowhere.

The funniest thing is that it isn't even sakuga. It's just keyframes with no sound. It's basically selling genga but it's just a jpeg instead of a physical product.

Also I forgot to mention that Kouki sold his company that made muvluv, age, to Avex in 2017. This is why so many weird Muv-Luv things are happening lately, Avex has said many times that they want to get into NFTs.

Could they not just I dunno, sell the cels to fans instead? I'm not sure if the show is roughed out traditionally on paper or not, but like that seems like it would be way more meaningful and tangible.

The point is to make money off of it, not to make it """"meaningful"""" or """tangible"""

Yeah It was a rhetorical question lol

Why own a physical genga frame or an animation cel when you can own a URL?

NFTs are getting more absurd by the day.

 

[kurahador]

The gall of them to do this when the anime looks like shit.

looks like shit

Fits right in with a lot of other NFTs then

;P

 

[SquirrelSr]

How much money for the "PRINT SCREEN" images again?

 

[Deleted member 9207]

Own something entirely stripped of value.

much of it is.


Really, this is just mind boggling. What a waste of money, pay to have your name in the credits.
