New anime Kickstarter >Under the Dog >The year is 202

>Everyone jumping on the crowdfunding bandwagon

unfortunately, I just don't see them making the goal

Ando and Kinema simply don't have the kind of pull and fanfare Trigger had when they pulled Academia 2. Seriously how many people in the western anime fanbase even know Ando? At best they'll all be like "oh that guy that directed Sword of the Stranger", but even then it's not gonna be enough to get people to open their wallets.

>>111829393
Now /a/ you have no excuse for not support the industry.

Thanks OP! The Under the Dog anime looks great! I just donated 100 (one hundred) dollars!

So I am guessing the team put this together with Kinema and then none of the production companies would give them the kind of funding deal they wanted so they decided to try kickstarter after seeing some other things succeed?

Cool, Masahiro Ando. I hope they make it, but that's a lot of money.

Is 100 dollars the minimum for a blu ray or am I reading that wrong.

What a joke.

You're not charged until the campaign is finished and completely funded.

>>111830135
Well it is a Blu-ray and OST but yeah pretty pricey. I think they are thinking the market is pretty small and that if it will make it there it will be on the few peopl willing to put that much in or sink trying/

>>111830134
It would be nice seeing a creative director/animator with a team of passionate individuals putting some effort into a project they actually liked and wanted to do for once. You can usually tell when the animators actually care about what they are drawing rather than just acting like animating machine slaves for hir.

that's how much it'll cost if aniplex gets the rights.

999 is pretty popular, right? They should go for the /v/ people.

>>111830135
There really should be a goal somewhere between the $20 and $100 there will be a big bumber of people willing to go higher than $20 for the BD but nowhere near $100 like $60-80 and you will get far more on that.

I say you are retarded being hired to draw the shit people can't be bothered to is not making cartoons its being a human machine.

>>111829599
Let's give them a benefit of a doubt

>>111830549
It's definitely on the upper edge of reasonable for a single episode, but this will include all of the frontloaded design work (I realise that this seems less valid when their 2 episode goal is exactly twice their 1 episode goal), and they also seem to be trying to aim for very high production values. I think a run of the mill show uses like half that amount per episode.

>>111830549

LWA the original episode has a budget of ~$390,000 and that didn't include any of the distribution costs or making of the rewards like DVDs/BDs/CDs. The new episode LWA 2 only had a much lower target because they had already paid one off fees like character designs that can be reused etc.

>stealing money from people who fucking donated to a project

>>111831212
see>>111831058

>>111831311
LWA 2 also only had a kickstarter for a few minutes. The episode itself already got funded via BD sales of LWA episode 1.

>>111831162
Are you kidding? It's the foundation of the industry.

>>111831058
The actual amounts for those have no sources do they? If I remember correctly they are just informed guesses by 2ch posters who claimed to be industry insiders.

>It's shit

>>111831315
It's more like
>Charging a fee for a service/platform you provide.

>>111831311
The LWA 2 kickstarter wasn't to fund LWA2, it was to make it 40 minutes long instead of 25. LWA also managed to establish a fanbase thanks to a first episode filled with cute animation and eye-catching characters. It's not comparable to any other anime KS.

How much would it cost to animate 5 minutes of intense mecha fighting? I have a few thousand dollars spare and want to do a DAICON type animation.

>>111829393
>580K
As much as I want to see another Ando-directed action feature, they can't possibly hit that target.

>>111831494
I was trying to make the point that the funding goal wasn't far too high for what they are aiming to make given that it seemed the poster had the misconception it was overly high based on the previous LWA2 target being far lower.

>give us 10,000 dollars and we'll fly you to Japan and let you try to fuck up our anime with your ideas

>>111831523
This show has major western appeal though, if it manages to grab attention enough.

If they start throwing around terms like cyberpunk and pushing the fact he has worked on NGE and Ghost in the Shell. Tons of western anime fans fucking love cyberpunk shit. Way more than love little witches. Although I think a lot of interest in LWA was from /co/ types who just thought it was cute aswell as anime types.

At least you get a HD digital download for $20-25.

I think it was Kick-Heart that only netted you a SD digital download for the same price.

>>111831742
Someone tell them to start using the term cyberpunk as a marketing term for the project. Cyberpunk fags will fund this shit.

>>111831704
>(transportation and accommodation not included)

Yuasa got 200.000 for Kick-Heart and he is hipster as fuck.

This here should get more. But still: I don't think it will be enough to hit the goal.

Kick-Heart was so shit and LWA2 is not out.

This looks like the best of them.

>>111829393
>New Tokyo

it's like the rest of Japan doesn't exist.

>>111831853
If you've got 10 grand to blow on Chinese cartoons then I doubt transportation and accommodation will be a problem. I visited Tokyo for a week and blew $3k in all, transport included.

>>111831904
Yuasa has a small but passionate fanbase of people who idolize him and are not usually casuals about anime. Ando just about nobody in the west knows or cares about at all unfortuntately.

This looks really good.

Was anyone else impressed by how organized the description was? So many times people make a kickstarter but aren't even half this transparent about costs/goals/etc.

I agree this will be hard to fund, though. Hopefully they have some advertising budget to push this in the right places. Did LWA2 make it on actual news places?

Ando is pretty good, the rest of the staff are nobodies. Whenever it says they "worked on" something rather than listing an actual position, it means they were not of any relevance whatsoever and are just trying to curry favor by being ambiguous.

Serious answer: Depends entirely on the show. Something cheap could cost a few $1000 something high quality and well animated you could spend an unlimited amount on. LWA the first episode as an example got a budget pf $390,000 to make from scratch without any distribution etc. in that budget.

No, this will probably hit a million dollars in funding. People have been throwing loads of money at anything anime related on Kickstarter.

>>111835318

Bubblegum Crisis? That was for a BD release to be brought here via AnimEigo, and BGC was already a hot a commodity, it was one of those titles that you always played in anime clubs to wow them alongside AKIRA or Ninja Scroll or Project A-ko. And that Kickstarter was mostly acting as pre-order system anyway.

American dorrars are too expensive for me to pay for something this uncertain.

This surprised me. It's a decent movie and everything, but I had never seen any hype for it before the Kickstarter.

Kinema Citrus is good when they have budget (E7, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0) and a good staff behind (Yuyushiki, Barakamon), but sometimes they have shitty projects like Black Bullet (I think the problem in BB were the producers...). Overall, it's a good studio.

>>111835474

They're also asking that you drop $100 on something based on the trailer to get the BluRay. Japs only pay 6-7k yen for their discs.

>>111835550
I just watched the trailer, the key animation is indeed better than what I expected, and those background seems straight out of a PA Work anime, really high quality.

Fuck this shit, I know this will fail and it hurts. It's fucking stupid, I'm sure Noitamina would pay for something like this in a heartbeat.

>>111835552
They're asking for anything they can get. 20$ seems pretty reasonable. I gave 30 because with the Blizzard mixing engineer is fucking legit and the sound is going to be extremely professionally done, hopefully carrying over to the soundtrack.

>>111835696

I think they could reach the goal, but not in just a month's time. Seems like the sort of thing that should have had promotion beforehand "hey guys, we're gonna do a Kickstarter, better look forward to it" and then launch once everyone's already informed.

Oh well, why not. I will send them $20 this time and nothing more. If the BD was less costly, like $50, I would jump on that as well.

>>111829393
This seems promising though the duration and the time for them to animate is just ridiculous.

But that's how 99.99% of the western userbase react when they see those names. And this is why the kickstarter will probably fail. This is much different from the overhyped Trigger project.

>>111835814

I highly doubt Gunbuster's or Astro Boy's costs being that high. The others may be more or less within the ballpark, but Astro Boy was always known as the start of super-cheap corner-cutting animation to get something out every week. And Gunbuster was right after Gainax lost out big time on Honneamise bombing.

How come anime is so incredibly more expensive to make than, say, a game? I can't wrap around my head how 12 episodes of a regular show can be more expensive than The Witcher 3, for example.

>giving your money to /b/

>>111836179
Western animation? Like Avatar (the cartoon), for example?

Why is it more expensive?

>>111835970
throw around titles like Sword of the Stranger and Fire Emblem Awakening to make the userbase aware of who they're dealing with and you'd probably get a positive reaction. It's a stretch but it might work.

>>111836113
>Is she white, then? Dropped by all tumblrites.

Just say she is blindingly albino

>>111836166
isn't sweeden the homeland of crazy feminazi?

>>111836203
This proves those goddamn nips can sell BDs cheaper, they just don't want to. Printing the artbook is probabaly more expensive than replicating the BDs.

>>111836228
Because murrican waste money like crazy

>>111836167
They got 100k and the guy on Santa Company is an absolute nobody, the guy on Mai Mai Miracle has directed nothing pretty much besides that.

Ando on the other hand is well respected both for his high skilled animation and direction.

>>111829393
Sounds like an anime version of GSG 9

Eh, the idea, plot, and setting isn't all too original

>>111836326
>This proves those goddamn nips can sell BDs cheaper, they just don't want to.
They don't want to because the discs are a niche good.

>>111836327
Wakfu seems considerably cheaper, though. I guess everyone should outsource to yurop.

>>111836326
You're only noticing this now ?They already tried selling BDs cheaper but it never sold more.

>>111835578
I'm not talking about the people involved, I'm talking about the anime itself. They showed me 1 minute of girls shooting and expect me to pay 100 dollars for it.

>>111836228
The difference is that Western animation isn't even western animation. It's western scripting and storyboarding.
They ship the actual animation part to the koreans, since you'd actually have to pay a western animator enough so he doesn't starve.

>>111836369

The discs are a niche good because no one wants to pay an arm and a leg for them. A lot of people who only pirate anime would at least buy their favorite series IF the price wasn't batshit insane.

>>111836228
I assume he meant stuff like The Simpsons, as Avatar was done in part by Studio Pierrot and another one that I forget. On The Simpsons they probably pay their animators a reasonable amount of money, and they pay a lot more for voice actors.

>>111829393

>>111836418

Clearly you see the problem here, right? Besides, you can always give them less.

>>111836326
>proves those goddamn nips can sell BDs cheaper, they just don't want to

They aren't going to sell more if they are cheaper. They will lose money. There are not many people who are willing to pay for these animations and many of those who are willing to are willing to pay a lot for them. The best gusiness model is to keep prices as high as possible as the market size will not increase with the price falling. You will essentially erode your own profit margin for nothing and devalue your product perhaps permananently.

>>111836387
Wakfu is done in flash though, which is probably a lot cheaper/faster.

>>111836490
>Clearly you see the problem here, right?
Yes. The problem is: I don't like Kickstarter.

You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Imiashi is a pretty big name on the animation circuit in general people who aren't even in to anime know about TTGL and PSG and he has many fans outside of 4chan, so no it wasn't just because LWA looked cute it was because the people behind it were big names.

I just pressed F5 and the money jumped from $7000 to $9500. That was quick.

>>111836498
I'm pretty sure there are, but they are not centralized in a single region. If they had a centralized, worldwide distribution system and cheaper prices, foreigners would most certainly buy enough to cover the cost of lowering the prices and then some. This would have the added benefit of having more people getting into the "collecting" mentality in the hobby. Blueray on your shelf also serves as a limited form of marketing. People coming into your room will see it and may get curious or ask for you to lend it to them, which may, in turn, give them an interest in anime or, if already interested, may make him desire to buy BDs himself. This would expand their market instead of shrinking it further and further.

>>111830135
You're not buying a blu-ray, you're investing into an anime serie. The blu-ray is merely the reward.

If you simply want the BD, wait for the campaign to end. Then you'll have the choice between buying the japanese BD for 200$ or wait 2 years for your country to get the BD for 80$, or pirate it.

Personally, I don't think that 100$ is a lot for a full series, in my country they sell the complete DVD box of an anime series for that price.

>>111836758
>You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Imiashi is a pretty big name on the animation circuit...
At least get his name right before you claim authroity. Why would you fund LWA if you were interested in seeing Imaishi animation? He did none of the animation in that and wasn't claimed to and it is not animated in his style at all. You could have talked about Yoh Yoshinari but really you are the one who has no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Yeah, for a full series.
This is one episode at 24 minutes, which may or may not be counting the ending credits.

>>111836796
kickstarters usually get their biggest chunks of funding in the beginning and the end. I'm actually not sure that this one is moving quickly enough to get funded, but maybe if word gets spread around some news sites it might have a chance?
