Toei Animation announced on Tuesday that it will produce an anime based on the NFT art collection of nine-year-old boy artist “Zombie Zoo Keeper.”
Zombie Zoo Keeper created the art collection Zombie Zoo as his research project during his summer vacation last year.
Toei Animation stated this is the first project in a plan to expand its NFT initiatives that will “[partner] with creators to develop animation franchises based off of NFT artwork.”
As of January 24 Zombie Zoo Keeper has created 209 pixel art pieces, and made them available on the NFT marketplace OpenSea.
