When you talk about Kansai Club you are not actually talking about a real company more a fake company run by this Don Andew Nevo i actually saw him on his facebook acount posting video's of him holding fancy parties from the money sometimes there's no justice in this world and evil wins.
Kickstarter and Amazon didn't give a damn either because they got money ... yet ANN refuses to declare him a fraud
That being said glad this is being clared up i hope that compensation is up to any good also Under The Air is amazing excited about this even though i already had both titles in French for years ...

TonyTony, I'm sure you are right. In retrospect it is amazing how much EVERYBODY got on board, and granted him all the credibility in the world. Never published a book before and people were writing his company's biography. My own belief is that he started with good intentions, but was unskilled, inexperienced, uninformed and finally scared, irresponsible and immature. In the end he scammed. Well, we still don't know any facts other than he took money and did not deliver. All the more reason to go with the guys who have the track record of printing about 20 Tezuka volumes.

Cutie: Well, they can't do anything about shikishi on this one, anyway, because Tezuka's dead. So you got nothing to complain about in regards to that issue for The Crater.
Tony: They probably don't wanna get sued for libel. I'm not a lawyer, but dude's gotta probably be arrested first. But I'm sure DMP and TezukaPro are trying to make that happen.

Gatsu, I'm 100% sure that DMP will not offer any Tezuka signed artwork for any of its Kickstarters. When his artwork comes up for sale on Mandarake, it can often sell for the same price of a new car. No, my concern is that DMP says one thing to get you to sign on to the project and then decides to change that after the campaign closes and you can't get your money back. You don't tell backers one thing during the campaign and then, with a new project manager now assigned, decide to change things months after the pledging period has ended. That's just poor business sense.

Cutie: Well, I dunno about KnJ, but they've been good on the Tezuka stuff. And this is one they especially don't wanna eff up for obvious reasons. So, they're taking your input very seriously this time.

I hope you get the sketch you requested. Like I wrote earlier I've had problems initially getting everything I pledged for on multiple occasions. The last campaign of theirs I backed I didn't pledge as much as I thought about because of it. So I can't imagine trusting them enough to pledge in the thousands of dollars.

Really? I've done several big pledges (not thousands, but above $100) on their Kickstarters and never got shorted anything, even when getting add-ons.

Yeah, really. But that's good to hear it's been positive for you. It doesn't seem to matter what I pledge for. They've messed up or forgot add-ons, books, merch... I may just be unlucky. With hundreds of backers and all the add-ons to keep straight I could understand a mistake here and there.

I can assure you it's not only video games. Mai Mai Miracle is almost contemporary to Obduction and the ball has started rolling just recently. Hopefully. Funny(unless you're a backer) thing is the Japanese release will probably come out earlier and also include the kickstarter-funded dub...

Speaking of Tezuka, his protege (Shotaro Ishinomori) is long past due for a Kickstarter campaign. If they could get a Kickstarter to have all the "Cyborg 009" volumes as a digital manga on their site, I would be happy to chip in.

.
Personally, I'd love a Kickstarter for Ken Ishikawa's Getter Robo manga. All five series were collected in nine huge volumes, and that'd make a great addition to the shelf.
Though some Ishinomori would be great (Maybe some Kamen Rider stuff).
