REV UP YOUR FUCKING WALLETS

I WANT THAT AKKO FIG

>limiting time for the sake of quality
I'm okay with this. Some time in the future, they may do this again, which is awesome. I'd rather wait a year for 40 minutes than three years for a movie.

someone post that gif of the Saudi prince just tossing money at girls.

Cause I kinda feel like that's what we are at this point

I want the figure.

It's time.

It's reasonable.

I'm glad they refuse to sacrifice quality for quantity.

Got a citation for all this?

I expected that. If it was going to take them till 2015 to just make a 35 minute episode, there was no way they were going to go for a movie length feature.

The soundtrack, line art collection book, and the figure seem like a great incentive. Hopefully Ooshima Michiru is still on board for the OST.

Gimme that figure

Really don't care about these goals. Just wanted a movie and/or multiple OVAs.

Thinking about dropping from $300 down to $50 so I can make sure the next project I like gets over the line.

$500,000 and six cases of Jack and cocaine later.

Thank you, Trigger, for not throwing quality down the shitter for the sake of screentime.

>7 more $10,000 spots open
Should I?

>>89194247

Sweet.

500k is easily doable. They'll reach that in like a week.

>>89194341
DO IT FAGGOT
post a screencap too

>consider

I don't like that word.
But get me confirmation of a Sucy figurine and I'll fucking donate double.

>>89194341
well if you do make sure to take pictures and post it on /a/.

>>89194332
They are the hero we need, not the one we deserve.

>>89194379
They'll reach it tomorrow or the morning after.

Only 177k to go.

Couple of days, easy.

Wow everyone should stop "donating" then. Fuck Kill la Kill.

>>89193932 (OP)
500K for a single shitty figure instead of more animation minutes.

Trigger just started growing their Jew noses.

Can anyone confirm that ALL THREE 10,000$ donators were from /a/?

>>89194341
hell no, unless you literally have money to burn

>>89194341
If I had the money to spare I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Or at least one of the $2000 rewards.

>>89194451
I know two are confirmed, other guy posted but wasn't from /a/ I think.

>>89194434
They prevented people from throwing millions at them. In what world is that being greedy?

>>89194341
I'd wait for their next possible project. Or if another studio decides to do something like this.

>>89194451
I know one was confirmed. I don't know about Francesco.

>>89194451
Why do you care so much?
What's up with this little, stupid "Who's the community that donated the most" war we have going on now?

>>89194434
They aren't the ones making the figurines you idiot.

>>89194451
Two were, and the third came to visit, though he wasn't a regular. There was another guy who did $10k even without the reward, bet he'll gladly claim one when he sees the new ones.

>>89194451
I think it was from the first sticky.

I'm saddened that they won't do something that extends the length of it even more plus I still haven't entered the slope with the figs. They'll get that stretch in less than a week thou.

>>89194583
It seems like you care more about this than he does.

>>89194273
Why is that bad, this project has all the cash it needs to max out its results on screen. And I'm still buying a BD.

Maybe my extra money will push the next project over the line.

>>89194451
Bitcoin guy was 100% confirmed
Savior guy was probably real too
Then there was the Zach guy who said he wasn't from /a/ but posted in the sticky

I'm glad they didn't try to have dubs in other languages as stretch goals.

>>89194451
Savior of Anime is confirmed to be from /a/

Bitcoin is NOT from /a/ but was given notice by a guy who was from /a/.

Jack is a third guy that came on /a/ to say hi and that he was the third guy.

Francisco pussied out.

That's all of them.
Leukemia guy was probably a ruse.

I don't give a fuck about that.

Do you really want cancer from other communities showing up at Trigger?

Am I the only one disappointed that the anime will not be longer?

I... wanted that first and foremost. More than figures, more than documentary.

And yes, you can still withdraw your pledge now if you want to.

>>89194719
You keep posting so you obviously care

They probably might have to do a dub stretch goal since they made it clear they don't want the project to be any longer.

>>89194700

Didn't Francisco still give like $9999.99 or something?

>>89194719
If they give 10,000 dollars for LWA2 they can't be cancer.
Even if they are, who gives a fuck, they shelled out the dough.

He said in a sticky he did, he backed out because he wouldn't be able to take the trip.

>>89194748
As they said, any longer and either the animation quality would be lessened, or it wouldn't be out until 2015.

I don't think either is desirable.

>>89193932 (OP)
From what I heard form someone who attended limited (50) fan event at ax. They would like to create a long series of LWA but they have other focuses right now with Kill la Kill and other unannounced ideas.

On a side note. That panel at AX was the most packed I've ever seen a panel at AX before. I think they had to turn some people away.

Also, this thread is probably going to get IRC'd the fuck out of so I better hop out before its too late.

True, but I don't mind waiting for another episode in 2 or 3 years. Well, I am the minority in this so I do not mind going with the majority.

>>89194748
Really the only thing I'm interested in from this update is the genga book.

They really need to clarify a lot of these things, though. Like what reward tiers will get the OST and the genga book, and what the difference between the standard BD and the limited are, and a couple other things...

>>89194341
Do you have shitloads of cash and/or really want to meet Trigger? Then yes.

If this is going to prevent funding the next project you want with 10k, maybe one that doesn't already have twice the money it can use... no.

I am so happy about this, as another note, FUCK JAPAN, we need to do more of these kickstarters, since japs don't give three shits about a quality show with decent writing.

>>89195190
Not all of the 500k will go to the animation though, judging by the stretch goal rewards.

The funny thing is that no has has bragged that they're the ones who payed the 10k.

Savior of anime even bitched at Francisco that he should have hidden his username.

No one has come out to brag about the 10k except at the moment of purchase and even then, it wasn't actual bragging, just ''hey guys I did it''.

>Adding an audio commentary
Don't care; I never listen to commentaries anyway. Would be a waste of somebody's time to make it, IMO.

>making a LWA2 documentary
Likewise, don't care; won't watch it anyway. Would prefer that they spend that afternoon they'd spend on the documentary just working on the anime.

>Adding an Original Sound Track
If they mean making cool original music to be used in the OP, ED, and in-episode of LWA2, and I can get on board with that.

>Gengasyu (Line art collection book)
Some people will like it. I'm not one of them.

>We have also added more quantity to the 2,000 and 10,000 USD rewards!
But the stretch goals suck. Why would anyone want to donate $10,000 to see a documentary.

Would be nice if we could get more of a commitment on this.

I can understand that they don't want to delay the release of LWA2, but why not just save up some dough for LWA3 if we're talking half a mil here?

Ooshima Michiru did the OST for the first episode so you might get the same for the second episode.

>>89195630
It's not like they're doing less than they promised man.

If you donated for the original goal, you'll still get everything you wanted.

They intend to release the episode by 12/2014 and in order to do this they can't keep making it longer.

Because now they don't think you are an idiot, they KNOW you are an idiot. You are giving them 10000 USD just so you can enjoy 1 episode of this series and that's where the jew plan comes in, why not give them another 5000 so you can enjoy listening to their stupid OST and audio commentary?

>>89195879
The question was already asked and answered on twitter.

>>89195361
It wasn't that great of an OVA. To be honest the only reason it gets so much praise around here is because Trigger was behind it.

Literally all they have to do to make commentary is get Yoshinari and some other folks to watch the episode and talk over it. It would take them 40 minutes.

>>89195630
I think the whole point of the shitty stretch goals is that they are uncomfortable getting that much money. They want to discourage people from donating further because they don't know what the fuck to do with all the money. I read somewhere that even Japanese CEOs are paid a small fraction of what American CEOs are paid. They just aren't comfortable having wealth.

>>89195962
There's always a profit component, though. They're just going to have a fuckton of profit.

They take back all the money, Trigger would probably get shut down if they couldn't give back the money

What they need is this

Donate $50 or more and get entered into a raffle to win a exclusive INFERNO COP figure. Only 200 of these will ever exist. Everyone that donates 1K-10K automatically gets one.

>>89196124
You think that, but the fact of the matter is that they'll pocket their 5% and step aside from the crossfire. There's nothing stopping a backer from suing the creator (because it has happened successfully before), which is why Kickstarter gives that warning: once the money is moved, their obligation as middleman is fulfilled.

They should've used the extra money for episode 3. It'd solve their release concerns, and give us more actual anime, the thing I pledged for. I don't give a shit about "possible" figurines or more rewards for 2000 bucks faggots.

Reminder that IG is one of the biggest anime studios there is and has the manpower to actually make something that long.
Trigger wants to make more LWA, I'm pretty sure they've said they plan to make a full series sometime after Kill la Kill, but they simply don't have the resources to do this much work. They don't want to promise something they simply won't have time to do for another five years. Which is really quite respectable IMO.

Nah fuck you. At least Trigger is small as fuck and probably can't get funding for something like this. I.G.'s got money out of their ass.

>>89196673

This. People fail to realize you can't hire people on temporary funds like this.

To be fair Time of Eve was a low key kickstarter, and it wasn't even about making more anime.

>>89196059
Yeah, there's a lot of legal terms of use violations and at a commercial level they would be fucked.

>>89195301
They could upgrade the animation to KMB-tier.

>>89196716
One of the main reason their work is popular is because they don't use retards who barely know how to hold a pencil.

WHAT ABOUT THE 6 EPISODE OVA?

ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU DON'T WANT MORE MONEY?

Just think about. They would need something around 1m, right?
That's possible by /a/ standards. Then, they release Ep 1 in the time they promised, finish K la K and then focus all they time and manpower in 5 more episodes of LWA

>>89196852
That BD release let Studio Rikka know there are enough fans who'd want a sequel story!

They're a start-up; they gotta demonstrate versatility and not just rest on their laurels. We don't want to turn them into "Studio LWA."

>>89196814
As someone who railed against the idea of a dub earlier, I have to agree with you. Despite dubs being retarded, they still add more appeal to the final product than the current stretch goals.

I'd like a dub for this project. The audio commentary and documentary with the genga book is fantastic. Getting a dub for my family and friends is just icing on the cake. Maybe including the LWA first episode as another reward.

What was the reaction of the eleven boards?

>>89197244
are your family and friends illiterate?

>>89197244
I'm not sure if they can make LWA1 a reward, because another company already licensed it in the U.S. and is releasing it on BD. It's probably be a lot of legal trouble for Trigger.

Eh, good as thread as any to post this.

I brought back a promo LWA fan thing from Anime Expo.
Trigger probably hired a bunch of monkeys to throw them together in the dead of night before the con, because the handle of the poor fan is off-center.

If anyone wants it, it's free if you can pay for the shipping, which is like $2 in the US.

Meh, kinda lame stretch goal for a big sum of money. I knew they wouldn't have use for excessive funds.

I doubt I'm dropping coins on this project unless they really show me they want and need it.

I was against extras like a dub when I thought they could use the extra money to make more content. but since it won't go beyond Dead Leaves-length, I'm not at all against a good dub. and I mean genuinely good with actual voice actors and not hacks who only have experience with poorly scripted Japanese video game and anime dubs that are no way to learn how to voice-act.

the idea that liking dubs makes you illiterate is very silly when talking about something with as much constant movement as LWA. it's impossible to give 100% of your attention to the visual acting of the characters AND focus on the text. rewinding to look at the animation just isn't the same, it breaks the flow.

>We simply do not have the capacity to finish the project by 2014~2015 if we maintain our current quality of animation.

NEW GOAL IDEAS!
1. Production I.G Episode
2. Studio 4C Episode
3. Shaft Episode
4. Kyoani Episode

I'm quite happy with these stretch goals. Although I doubt a figure from GSC is viable (since the Japs won't buy em), I still want one, or more.

I want them to make a good dub. Not sure how expensive it would be to hire good english VAs though.

Why did the ones who did Baccano never show up again? That had great english VAs.

>>89197752
Sup, dude. Haven't seen you in a while. When is your next stream?

On topic, I watched LWA multiple times. First to get a gist of the conversation and the rest was to enjoy the animation. I hope getting the genga book isn't too expensive.

Do we know what the difference between the standard and limited edition blu-rays are going to be? Also is all this support solely from the West? I haven't been following this thing at all.

>>89197854
Are the Japanese not into figmas?

>>89197788
>funding any of those studios

All those studios can afford their own shit if they want. The only reason to support Trigger is because they're a small start-up studio that does anime that appeals to the western audience. Funding those other studios is just full retarded.

>>89197937
They are, but they aren't into LWA.

I want Figmas of all 3 main girls

and a scale of Chariot

>>89197937
They don't really care about LWA.

>>89197937

Talking anything about dubs is retarded. The money should be put towards the actual project and not a localization of it. Which is why Tattsun made comment on twitter about how the dub argument was getting out of hand. They said they would consider what people said, and a dub was not one of them probably because licensing and getting a dub would money that could, you guessed it, be spent on the actual project. Deal with it.

Except now that extra money is apparently funding documentaries and commentaries and not the actual project.

>>89198158
>used the KS money to get a bigger studio
didn't they say they wanted to stay somewhat "indie" with this

>>89198158
There's not nearly enough KS funds for them to get a bigger studio. It would be better for them from a business standpoint if they do more anime projects and get more exposure and money from the Japanese market first.

>>89197926
I think limited editions have a signature.
>>89197993
>licensing
I thought licensing only came up when a US company wants to sell an anime in their market. Trigger is selling their anime directly. You are probably correct that dubbing brings more hassle, though.

>>89198226
A documentary about the making of and a commentary on the episode is obviously part of the actual project.

>>89198226
How do you compare a dub to documentaries and commentaries?

Wouldn't be surprised by a dub stretch goal now. I wouldn't even be upset, considering they seem to be struggling to find things to actually spend all the money on.

I do appreciate their honesty.

>>89198281
No, for the $300 one you get the limited edition with the signature. They haven't said anything to what the difference is.

I'm not understanding the math here. KILL la KILL airs, and I'm assuming finishes this year. Why would it interfere with upcoming years? If they have other projects that aren't announced yet, just say so.

>>89198281
You would have to license a studio to do voice work, what else do you think they'd do? Post job listings on craiglist?

I haven't streamed ever since 4chan made a rule against stream threads. it just wouldn't be the same if I linked one on my Twitter or something. the interesting part was showing older or more obscure anime to random people from /a/, not from a pool of like-minded people who already watch that sort of thing.
>>89197993
>deal with it
I'm not saying I really want a dub for LWA or anything, I agree with what the Twitter said and I actually thought it was annoying when the Kick-Heart people decided to spend the money on dubbing. however, good dubs are not a bad thing and the 'illiteracy' argument is extremely flawed. that's the point i wanted to make.

>>89193932 (OP)
Sounds like this got overfunded and Trigger doesn't have enough staff to keep up. Those are some weak goals for 500k, it's probably reach there though given how much idiotic hype this thing got.

I'm pleased with their reasoning behind not expanding the episode further and about even just the possibility of an Akko or Suzy figure, especially if it is a figma. I was going to donate money anyway but i may wait to see how they do the figure stuff before donating the big bucks.

>>89198158
The bigger studios have had their chance and blew it cranking out moeshit.

>>89198417
>I'm not understanding the math here.
Obviously, since you have no understanding of how anime production works.

>>89198417
Kill la Kill runs for two seasons, they'll be done with it by Q1 2014. They might have other unannounced work in the pipeline so they have to schedule LWA 2 carefully around it.

>>89198417
It's 26 episodes; it's safe to assume that they will working on it while it's airing.

Besides, trigger probably already has obligations with companies in Japan to animate CMs and what not,

>>89198417
It took them 6 months to do LWA1. Since Kill La Kill is airing this year, they can only get started on this next year. So majority of next year is going to be spent on LWA2. If you want a longer episode, it's obviously going to take a lot more time.

>All this argument about what they should do with their extra cash
How about they just give us LWA2 like they said, and then they can just invest the rest of the money on equipment, personnel, etc, you know, help then grow as a studio?
And also by doing this we will be sending a message to other japanese studios than the west is always willing to spend on new, fresh ideas.
Just my 2 cents.

>>89198419
There is a license to sell a product and license for dubbing. These are different things. I'm saying since Trigger is already distributing it, they have no problem with the first. I see what you mean about the complication brought on by getting a dub though.

>>89198511
>>89198523
Not that guy but I didn't realize Kill La Kill was 2 cours. That's fucking great.

Why can't they do episode 2 now (as in after KLK and whatnot) and then use the extra funds to do episode(s) 3(+) later?

Isn't that against KS policy or something? I think you HAVE to use all the money you get on the project you promised.

I believe you only have to use the original goal's budget. Anything over can be used however.

You don't have to hire animators. You can do it on commission. Studios often collaborate together on big projects. You pay for the job and/or give shares of the franchise. Trigger probably wants to keep it in in-house though since they're still small and probably don't want to share profits and want something to put their name on and make an impression.

No, I quoted the policy in its entirety in the other thread.

The creator is legally required by the terms of use to fulfill all project goals and rewards using the money they receive from backers.

>>89198822
And what if they have a surplus? That just seems silly.

Why don't they just make a 13 ep series?

>>89198822
Well, if they have to use all the money, they can just increase salaries.

>>89198822
What if they have extra money left over after fulfilling those project goals and rewards?

So does the blu-ray come with the first episode as well?

>>89198881
Because that's expensive as fuck. Not only do you have to make 13 episodes but you also need to buy a TV timeslot.
