As of this post, you got less than 23 hours to get Dear Brother cheap. That is, unless you don't mind paying $60 per boxset at Right Stuf.

You could always buy it at Animecornerstore.com when it comes out. They have Creamy Mami and Black Jack for $39.98 each. So, I imagine Dear Brother will be the same price. |

Hey guys,
This isn't the standard crowdsourcing, and isn't for "animated" anime per se, but it is certainly related to both... I was wondering if you could give advice on how to gain support for my LEGO Howl's Moving Castle, and Laputian Robot projects. They need to gain 10,000 supporters (each) in order to be officially reviewed by The LEGO Group, who may decide to make an official set based off these designs. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/37352 https://ideas.lego.com/projects/39857 I'm out here trying to get LEGO and Studio Ghibli to team up together and make some awesome sets for kid- and adult-fans of both LEGO and Studio Ghibli. Their system changed recently, so now I've got a ticking clock held over these proejcts. 362 days left! Do you have any tips on how to reach other Studio Ghibli fans? I know their numbers are huge--who can blame 'em. I've already had one of my projects featured on facebook's Studio Ghibli page, and have visited a couple other Ghibli forums. Thanks, K Edit: No financial pledging necessary. Just a few clicks of the mouse and a love for LEGO / Studio Ghibli! |

Done. I think it's a pretty neat idea that has the potential to bring in a new generation of anime fans while also appealing to pretty much all age groups because...who doesn't like Ghibli films?

Toyama: But that's still $10 more per set. Anyway, less than 5 hours left.

There's no reason to think Anime Corner Store wouldn't charge Anime Sols price like they did for Black Jack and Creamy Mami, in this case it would be at $30 and not $40. Right Stuf would charge $45 and not $60 if we follow the 150% price markup logic they had for Black Jack and Creamy Mami. |

True, but then Sols has to split the profits with Right Stuf. Anyway, this argument is moot, as the Sols Dear Brother thing is closed. Last edited by GATSU on Sat May 03, 2014 1:34 am; edited 1 time in total |

Thanks for the support guys! I agree, all age groups are well represented with ideas like this. I will work hard to make my design even better!

Animeigo just e-mailed me the following update on their BGC Kickstarter:
Also, misc. shit about packaging and if you want the BGC coin or AD Police keychain. Just go to the Kickstarter for the rest of the update. |

Anime Sols has been dead quiet since the end of the last Dear Brother drive more than three weeks ago. They haven't streamed a single episode of anything (breaking their already-glacial schedule of one episode of Black Jack on the first Tuesday of the month) nor even posted a news item noting the success of that last drive.
What gives? |

Fronzel: To my knowledge, they're supposed to be getting the next sets ready. So maybe they're busy on those.

^No clue, but at least they are still responding on Twitter. They say that they're "resting" basically (as told in Monty Python references), so I'm expecting they'll be back at some point, hopefully soon (and with another Black Jack pledge drive this time)

In that one Monty Python sketch the "resting" parrot was actually dead. |

Yeah, actually, someone pointed out that that reference wasn't exactly reassuring in this case. But I think they're joking on that and wanted to make a Monty Python reference and they're still very much alive on Twitter. |

On the other hand, if the project fell through, it makes sense to delay the announcement for as long as possible, otherwise overly anxious people would constantly fear that they're not gonna get their sets. Right now would be the most logical time to stop funding any new sets as well, as they just completed Creamy Mami and Dear Brother. Add to this that the most requested show available from Tatsunoko failed miserably, it wouldn't be surprising if Tatsunoko called it quits in turn making the entire operation fall through like a card castle.
