So how the coin is doing? Slowly diying or already dead? =)
For me this coin is neither dying nor is it dead!
AnimeCoin is just progressing slowly forward until it unfoldes its unique form.

No volume is needed : better to develop users without speculation on the price. Animecoin is a currency : if it can be used to buy services and items (not to buy and sell other currencies), that will be a greater strength than most other coins.
