The city of Myopia has BIG problems. In a twist of karmic fate, the citizens’ actions have birthed their biggest problem: The Zenibeasts!

Zenibeasts is a trans-media project about giant monsters attacking Myopia: a 90's Saturday Morning cartoon city. These giant monsters act like rowdy children and Myopia is their playground. Settling their rivalries means just squabbling for the Zenibeasts... But utter annihilation for the Myopians!

An animated series of Zenibeasts was launched on YouTube in 2024 to a very successful start. The first episode, Kaiju Cutie, has been viewed more than 155,000 times. Currently, work is underway on episode two, as well as a card game, a video game and a comic based on Zenibeasts.
