Bubblegum Crisis Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray Set KickStarter Reaches Goal Less Than 4 Days
AnimEigo is pleased to announce that the Bubblegum Crisis Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray Set Kickstarter campaign reached its $75,000 goal in less than 96 hours, and is now approaching the $100k mark.
The Kickstarter funds a special limited-edition 2 BD50 set of the classic Japanese Anime Sci-Fi miniseries, which will contain all 8 episodes, in English and Japanese with English and French Subtitles. Also included are all the animated and live-action music videos, an online data archive of production notes, interviews, and high-resolution graphics, a custom challenge coin, and postcards -- all for $50.
Unlike most KickStarters, this one has no stretch goals. Instead, AnimEigo is experimenting with "CrowdProduction" -- a full 50% of the amount raised goes into the production budget, and the backers themselves will be able to propose ways to use the excess budget to improve the set. AnimEigo will cost out the proposals, and the backers will vote to decide what gets included!
The set will not be region-coded, and is available to backers world-wide (except Japan, China and Taiwan). Estimated shipment date is August 2014. The Kickstarter campaign ends on Sunday, November 24th.
