Thank you for pointing out that error, Fronzel. I've corrected it. Somehow, I managed to confuse it with Creamy Mami DVD set 3.

Mami's finally halfway done. $9,000 to go.

Mai Mai Miracle with 13 hours to go is at $100, 890. I'm a little surprised I thought a few days ago that it might barely make 95k but its gone over 100k.

Sols is raffling an exclusive Mami illustration board autographed by Takada to people who buy all four tv sets.

Edit: Also, only $10,000 to go for Dear Brother. Less than $9,000 for Mami.

Edit 2: I guess I'll also mention that the Tezuka fair-trade merch crowdfunders only have two weeks to go. Mami's down to 9 days now, btw.

There doesn't seem to be much interest; there's only 33 supporters between those two projects.

I still think they're kind of strange ideas to begin with.

I can't honestly justify paying $40 for a jute tote bag. And I've never used jute bags before, but based on the pictures, they don't look all that comfy, they look like they'd feel like twine or something itchy. Now, if there were a pledge for just the stamp sets, I'd be all over that.

Fronzel: It's a pet project for TezukaPro. If it doesn't succeed, I guess they'll probably shrug it off and go back to crowdfunding more anime, again. FWIW, at least it had somewhat of a good start.

@classicalzawa
Jute is the stuff they use in brown twine or burlap bags, very rough. I expect they just got some burlap bags from a feed store and modified them. Jute would not take or hold any type of picture very well.

Creamy Mami is down to three days now, with its current total at $10,895. In addition, Dear Brother over $5,000. And those Tezuka merch crowdfunders have less than 9 days left.

Update: Sols is saying it in a nicer way than myself, but is basically agreeing with me that if you slackers let Mami fail like you did with Yumi, then they'll give up the Pierrot Mahou Shoujo crowdfunding thing entirely. That means no chance in hell of a Fancy Lala or Tokyo Mew Mew rescue, or maybe even finally getting Sugar Sugar Rune on R1 DVD.

Surveys are going out for Wakfu, I just submitted mine. It immediately updated on my selected pledge tier to show it was done and I got the confirmation email a few seconds later. Now there's just the waiting.

Two days and left for Mami with $4,000 to go. Remember that if you missed the first three tv sets, you can buy all four now.

I just signed up for sets 2, 3 and 4 of Mami

@GATSU
I'd like to tell you to shut up about this, but you probably are helping more than you hurt.

Mami's got $2,500 left to go. And it's only got one more day left.
