I'm so happy that Pastel Yumi is not only having a chance to be put on DVD, but just streaming with a translation in general. I've been waiting such a long time to watch it (Raws and European dubs aside).

It's such a pretty show, I hope everyone else will feel the same.

(also, sorry to be "that person" but Pastel Yumi is from 1986)

Woohoo, Pastel Yumi!! Been meaning to watch this for a long time, just like Creamy Mami. Glad to see we're finally getting a translation into English!

Now if only someone could contact Production Reed and license Minky Momo...

Damn it, I know it's just at "Kickstarter" level now, I am jealous of you guys getting these classic magical girl shows from the eighties. The likelyhood of these getting a UK release are pretty tiny. If I can afford it I might import as it's not too hard to get a hold of a region free DVD player but still it'd be nice to just be able to get these UK side.

I wonder if they'll hold off on Mami 2 until this ends.

No, our DVDs will be region 1, sorry.

As long as you have a somewhat modern pc, or an adequate htpc to stream to tv, and commit a few hours to research the relevant software, then region locks will be absolutely no problem.

Same with any other 'protection' currently out there for bd or dvd (cinavia, forced audio/subs, java locks, whathaveyou).

An anime collector in Europe, or elsewhere outside of US/Canada, should already be well versed in all that...

My laptop has a nasty tendency to display my DVDs a bit grainy I prefer watching my stuff on my TV if I can. Oddly enough it doesn't do this with streams.

I'm so geeked out about this one! Everything in this show is made of flower petals and bowties and poofs and I just love it! I already made my pledge (for a couple days there, kawaiibunny3 and I were the only donator comments on ep.1 hahah) but I really hope a ton of other people will chip in too! I reeeally want Yumi to happen!
