The anime’s story revolves around girls with superpowers battling the evil Space End Society. Shinsei Galverse aims to deliver a unique anime experience bridging nostalgia and innovation, influenced by cyberpunk aesthetics from works like Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
The original NFT lore speaks of a “Goddess of Galverse” who shattered into 8,888 Gal shards, each carrying a mission of peace. This goddess will likely play a crucial role in the journey of self-discovery.
From NFT Project to Anime
Shinsei Galverse started as an NFT project in April 2022, selling out all 8,888 NFTs in a few hours. It quickly became Japan’s first breakout Web3 success, holding the #1 position in OpenSea’s NFT ranking for days. The project’s success has allowed the Galverse team to turn the NFT collection into a full-fledged anime.
Key Themes
Shinsei Galverse explores profound themes, including an anti-war message reflecting director Ayaka Ōhira’s background. It promotes the gyaru culture, emphasizing living with one’s values and self-acceptance, and showcases tech and mecha designs that create a world free of discrimination.
A Community-Driven Approach
Unlike traditional anime studios, the Galverse team involves fans in the production process, offering NFT holders the chance to contribute to the anime’s development. This community-first approach allows for a dedicated audience from the start, with fans participating in the creative process.
Where to Watch
