Roadmap
the mission
The Mission of the Second Self NFT project is to fund a premium quality anime series, supporting Anime artists with living wages and more opportunities to share their quality work.
Anime creators are passionate artists and it has been known that some studios can take advantage of this. Artists spend countless hours on their creations and are often not rewarded adequately for their work.
Honorary Second Self NFTs have been created for promotions, spreading awareness, and giveaways. These NFTs are not from the main collection & don’t provide the same perks as the main 8888 but still have value, are unique and will be minted on the Ethereum blockchain.
These NFTs will be shared with those that support the Second Self project and other competition winners.

These roadmap milestones are subject to change depending on other revenue sources and partnerships being identified.
Quality Anime Production is a long term process and we feel it is important that our community know and understand this. The Second Self team are committed to this process for the long term and have identified a number of opportunities to engage our community whilst production is occurring.
- Episode 1 & Series Pre Production: 1 Year
- Episode 2: 6 months
- Episode 3: 6 months
- Episode 4: 6 months
- Episode 5: 6 months
- Episode 6: 6 months
Production will be simultaneous, so the series will start releasing monthly or bi-weekly approximately 1.5–2 years after production starts.
Episode premieres will be in a metaverse location and tokens will be generated for current NFT holders and partners to attend screenings, and participate in the surrounding events.
Community Engagement
We have shared with you above the timeline for Series Production and the current roadmap benchmarks we are working toward.
Here are some of the other community engagement projects on our roadmap.
We will reward early project supporters with the opportunity to create their own Original Character, utilizing the artists and designers at Tonari Animation, with the characters also participating as background characters in the Second Self Series.
We are preparing a number of workshops and events for supporters of this project. An early workshop we are creating for our supporters is Anime Production 101.
We will host regular community AMAs with our founders, with artists and with other Special Guests. Keep an eye out on the Discord for when these events will happen.
We are working with partners and metaverse landholders to host a Metaverse Anime Convention with anime industry artists and professionals.
We will be releasing a range of character merchandise including t-shirts, prints, and plushies.
We will host Second Self Episode premieres in the metaverse for NFT holders before the episodes go public, as well as other metaverse anime events while production is ongoing.
