Three tracks for anime lovers becoming Legends. Pick one to start. Climb all three over time. You don’t need permission — you need a door.

Three Tracks

Pick your door. Climb all three.

Not a ladder. Three valid ways to walk with us. Curate what you love. Create what you imagine. Operate what you build.

Curator

Shape the canon. Keep the flame.

For the anime lover who sees patterns no one else articulates — the archetypes, the philosophical throughlines, the scene-shapes that repeat across a hundred series.

What you do

  • Write entries for the Atlas — archetypes, philosophical patterns, scene structures
  • Cite with rigor. Fair use, 150-word ceiling, 50-word commentary minimum
  • Peer-review other Keepers' submissions and shape editorial standards

What you get

  • Recognition as a named Vault Keeper with a public profile page
  • Revenue share on your entries — 60/40 when the Pro tier launches
  • Progression path: Keeper → Senior Keeper → Editor
Read the Atlas

Creator

Fork the pipeline. Ship your own.

For the aspiring AI creator who wants more than a tutorial — who wants the same tools, skills, and templates the studio runs on, plus a community that actually ships.

What you do

  • Use the Forge — skills, MCP servers, Remotion templates, slash commands
  • Build your own channel on top of the pipeline. Your shorts, your brand, your lore
  • Submit your best work to the quarterly Legends Showcase for community feature

What you get

  • Monthly template drops — Phase 3 templates six weeks before public release
  • Monthly Creator workshop with Frank — live build, live critique, live Q&A
  • Private Creator Discord: production feedback, asset swaps, hype squad
Open the Forge

Studio

Go AI-native. Keep your voice.

For existing indie anime studios and creator collectives making the leap — you have taste and an audience, but your pipeline is still human-hours-per-minute.

What you do

  • Apply for licensed sub-studio status — operate a lineage under the Legends umbrella
  • Co-produce with AnimeLegends on select drops — mascot cameos, joint releases
  • Get direct Frank coaching on pipeline adoption, team training, cost modeling

What you get

  • White-labeled pipeline access — run your own branded channel on our infra
  • Revenue-share partnerships on co-produced works
  • Phase 3 template early access + a private Studio Operators Discord

Vault Keeper Program

The Keepers write the canon.

An anime archive is only as good as the people who tend it. We name them, credit them, and pay them when the work earns.

The work

A Keeper submits entries to the Atlas — mythic-voiced scholarship on archetypes, philosophical patterns, scene structures, quotes, and power-scaling analyses. Every entry is original commentary with rigorous citation. No fan summaries. No copy-paste.

You choose the pattern. You write the commentary. You cite the sources. Our editorial team checks fair-use compliance and brand voice, then publishes under your named profile.

DMCA takedown response

These are not suggestions — they are the operational rules that keep the Atlas on the right side of fair use. Read the full posture at /legal/vault-posture.

The split: 60 / 40

When the Atlas Pro tier launches (year 2), commercial use of entries earns revenue. That revenue splits 60% to the Keeper who authored the entry, 40% to AnimeLegends for editorial, infrastructure, and legal operations.

  • Quarterly payouts via Stripe once you cross the $50 threshold.
  • Transparent attribution: every entry page shows the Keeper’s name, profile, and accepted-entry count.
  • Retraction protection: if an entry gets DMCA’d, you keep attribution on every other entry you’ve written.
Testimony

The first voices will land here.

We would rather show you empty frames than fake quotes. When real members speak, their words — and their names — will replace these placeholders.

“Will hold the testimony of our first Vault Keeper — the person who saw a pattern across a hundred series and chose to name it.”
