Yup! You've got just over an hour to pledge still! And even if you don't make it, the extra ~800 DVD sets will be available for sale from RightStuf and other retailers after they're printed and shipped. Still, pledging is the only way to get the bonus rewards if you want any! |

Maybe you guys just subconsciously avoided the articles/threads because "AnimeSols" wasn't an eye-catching phrase like "FUNimation" or "Sentai", because you know to look for those for big news. There's been a decent amount of items posted for the last two months. |

That could be it. I'm just glad I found out in time, I've been on a huge Tezuka kick lately!

I don't recall anything like that. Then again, I don't read in-depth into articles about things I'm not interested in. I also visit the website's news page once or more daily and skim the headlines, reading the articles that are about people, or things I'm familiar with or other things that may interest me like new upcoming series announcements or promo videos. |

As has been pointed out before, the two most successful drives on Anime Sols (and as it turns out the only two to be fully funded) are the two that have been fully fansubbed for ages.
The question about Black Jack is if the ~200 backers can support another four or five sets...and if they will support the OVA box set at the same time, unless Anime Sols doesn't plan to try that one for about a year while the TV series finishes. |

Heh, well I think either way it's in their best interests to space out the sets and and let the big backer's bank accounts recover.

I was a little worried this wasn't going to make its goal, but I'm glad it did and I am looking forward to owning it.

To add to the "You just weren't paying enough attention" crowd, they also had a panel at Anime Expo this year. Granted it had low attendance, but it's not for their lack of trying to get the word out.
It is true though that they were working with the most limited advertising budget imaginable. If they had a stronger advertising campaign they may have had a better turn-out, but as far as the site is concerned, it can only grow from here. Once these two successfully funded titles get out there, and word continues to spread about the site, it should continue to grow. Hopefully it will become something that can regularly fund projects like Kickstarter. Then we won't have to worry about making the goals as much as we did in this first round. Also, even if they were to announce all new pledge drives for series starting tomorrow, or the second sets for Mami and Black Jack, the new drives wouldn't conclude for another three months. That should give a decent amount of time for people to save up and be able to pledge again. The second sets should also have a (marginally) lower goal to meet, so that can help get subsequent funding operations completed without so many heavyweight pledges. |

Happy to see that they made it and twice! I wonder if this will generate some buzz and get the ball rolling.

There's already an English dub of Black Jack TV from Animax Asia, but I doubt it'll be on the Anime Sols DVDs. |

One thing that will be interesting to see is whether sales of the unpledged-for part of the DVD production run of 1,000 units will (1) attract new pledgers in for the follow-up sets and (2) generate funds to help reduce the box set targets below the intrinsic saving of one-time start up costs for each series, which are covered by the first set in a series that makes its launch target. |

Because of the time it will take for production itself, revenue from disc sales of Set 1 will probably only factor into Set 3... unless we get pre-orders or promises of wholesale stock from retailers. |

If there is an English dub, the only choice for BJ is Kirk Thornton again.
ONLY. CHOICE. |

Since i have people's attention here, how important would it be to people to get the new OVAs (11-12) dubbed for a complete set?
Would you not buy it if 11-12 were sub only but the dub for 1-10 was included? |

I personally would like to see episodes 11-12 of the ova dubbed with Kirk Thornton reprising his role of Black Jack. I would accept subtitled if that was the only way to have those episodes.
