Why did you link fucking ANN instead of the kickstarter.

Sometimes I forget how niche anime is. I mean Jesus Christ 30 grand and it airs in a month fucking desperate.

More information in English since most anons can't into moonrunes

Here is the "kickstarter" though: https://www.makuake.com/project/mayoiga/

>shit studio
>hack writer
>hack director

So this wants to out-trainwreck kizaniver, huh?

>>138067818
>good director and writer
Picked up.

>>138068006
At least Kiznaiver is fully funded by sponsors.

Kabaneri was the popular choice for production mess because Wit Studio memes but Mayoiga is having to kickstart the rest of its production.

I don't think it's to "support production". $29,500 is probably barely enough to fund the OP/ED or whatever.

I'm guessing it's just another of Pony Canyon's experiments, just like the Etotama blurays they released two weeks after the premiere or that contest where they let anyone pitch an anime idea.

What happens if they don't get the money?

>>138067818
sounds like a buswreck waiting to happen

>>138072039
The show gets canceled and they replace it with Ika S3.

>>138067818
So is this some literal down-to-the-wire "Final product sent to station a few hours before the airing time" kind of thing and they ran out of money?

Or are they just experimenting to see other ways they can get money out of the late night crowd that isn't just spending money on overpriced Blu-Rays?

>>138067818
I wish I had the money already. Damnit.

>>138070664
Probably this.

>>138072346
westerners don't buy blu rays

so maybe this is a way for westerners to give money to projects they like

>airs in a month
>opens crowdfunding campaign
Isn't that pertty bad? Like "we blew our whole budget on hentai, alcohol, weed and hookers and anime premiere is in a month" kind of bad?

>>138073861
Doesn't a complete BD set of a series cost about 40,000 yen? If I were a Japanese otaku who bought BDs I'd totally go for that tier because a tour of the animation studio sounds sweet, better than owning the show.

Well, I guess I'm not all that interested in touring Diomedea actually but if it were a better studio I would be.

>>138074206

If it were a better studio it wouldn't have this problem at all.

WOWOW and shitty productions seem to g hand in hand.

>>138074547
>WOWOW
Wait a minute. They're crowdfunding an anime for a fucking pay channel?

>>138074184
I figure the show can still go on without it, but you'd get a Wizard Barristers finale or something like it without the additional fund.

>>138074838
>>138074547
Nah, if they actually had serious production problems they would be trying to hide the shit out of them in true Nipponese fashion instead.

I do think they are already expecting it to flop horribly and are trying to get extra cash from somewhere else though.

>>138073861
>not hanging out with Mari Okada and Kantoku
Shit rewards.

I wouldn't mind seeing this system being implemented by more shows. I don't give much fucks about Mayoiga, but having the option of contributing in some way and getting some exclusive rewards doesn't sound too bad compared to importing their overpriced BDs. As long as the tiers are priced reasonably that is.

>>138077122
This. It's pretty much the answer to "I wish I could pay the studio directly instead of having middle men get all the profits"

Calm the fuck down. Crowdfunding has just become another way for corporations to secure pre-sales. Nothing to see here.

>>138075847
>>flop horribly

How do you figure that? They have a top shelf writer and director.

>>138079810
Mizushima is a legit good director, but he's terrible with serious shows. Okada is just Okada.
