Around the world, anime is more popular than ever. But the systems behind its creation remain traditional, closed-door, and disconnected from the global fanbase. Now, a new wave of platforms is exploring how technology, specifically web3, can open up anime production to fans and creators alike.

Joining us are two guests at the forefront of this shift:

1. John Bui, Chief Business Officer of Xross Road, a project affiliated with tv asahi group, which is building tools to let fans participate in anime development from the earliest stages.

2. El Bonuan, creative technologist, game producer, and artist at Maiba Studios, who is pioneering community-driven IP and decentralized storytelling in Southeast Asia.

Together, we’ll dive into how web3 tools can empower fans to meaningfully contribute, without needing to code or invest, and what this future means for anime lovers, creators, and communities across Southeast Asia.
