The crowdfunding isn't 100% of the budget obviously.

1. anime cost around 1-1.8 million for 1 cour.
2. Side project for MAPPA
3. Longer time frame to produce the movie compared seasonal anime.
4. Doesn't look a ghibi film, more like something out of studio colorido.
5. Eg. movie length is 1hr 40min =100min of animation. Average 1.6million for 240min for season animation. So about 400-600k for this movie.

6.Mappa could reduce the cost because of using in-house resources and pre-production being completely prep'd.

Wrong.

My god, is this one getting an anime ?. I read the manga solid 10/10.

W-what manga is this?

Wait, this was crowdfunded? Now I'm doubly disappointed in /a/. First for having found out about it elsewhere, and second for not knowing it was crowdfunded, I'd throw all my money at them.

I know, right? And the movie looks amazing. Second best thing that could've happened after Ghibli actually adapting it.

Just the best goddamn WWII manga out there, no biggie. It's Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni. You should read it if you're into this kind of manga at all. Though probably start with Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms by the same mangaka(if you haven't already), they aren't related, but they share some of the same themes, and doing it the other way might be a bit disappointing(not to mention depressing).

Just noticed, Matsubara Hidenori announced this year he's working on KonoSekai.
It was already known he was chief AD from the crowdfunding meetings, but it's good to have confirmation.
Since there's no character designer credit I imagine he's working of Uratani Chie's layouts.
