I’ve minted and followed so many anime collections after Azuki (the king) that I’ve lost count,

and honestly, none of them ever really left a lasting impression… except for Persona, which hit that nostalgia nerve hard for all of us in 2024.

Now, we’re witnessing the birth of @finalbosuX and I feel confident saying that, purely from a visual aesthetic standpoint, they’ve created something truly special.

It’s stunning, it’s fun, but most importantly, the characters have soul. ✊

I’ve been scrolling through it non-stop for two days, and if you don’t want to take my word for it, just read it from Zaga:

Yes, this is an appreciation post for a team where you can feel the passion and you can sense the focus on crafting experiences.

In a time where the bar for PFP brands is sky-high, much of what they’ve done has quietly flown under the radar.

Starting with the 2-minutes trailer:

and continuing with the incredible, layered experiences designed to cultivate, educate, and retain the community.

Huge props to my buddy @kaito_ayo for building something innovative and again, completely underappreciated.

Of course there will be FUD.

Of course there will be challenges, wins, and setbacks.

But with brands like this, you have to look deeper;

at the motivation, the passion, the experience, and the resources they’ve secured to actually build.

To me, this is an easy bet:

a genuine team of brothers and professionals pouring their hearts into building something that matters.

Against all odds.

But not really.
