For as long as users have set their own PFPs on community sites, one type of imagery has dominated the space — the anime PFP. From the 90s to the mid-2000s, Western anime fans were primarily interested in hits like Dragon Ball Z, which appeared on Cartoon Network’s Toonami programming block, and Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim. As a result, anime PFPs used during this era tended to feature characters from these specific shows. Seeing the likes of Goku, Vegeta, or Spike Spiegel in a profile picture was common. Unsurprisingly, back then, avatars tended to look rather similar. Since that time, anime has secured mainstream popularity around the world. And with the rise of anime PFP NFTs, users can now construct their digital personas around anime characters completely detached from any fandom — and its fans. This allows individuals to explore an array of unique anime aesthetics and find characters that truly resonate with them. Holders of these anime PFPs tend to rally around their project of choice. So, instead of fandoms based on TV shows, we now have communities based around a shared anime aesthetic. To help you find your community, we pulled together this overview of some of the best Anime PFP NFT collections out there.
