Want some scifi/mech action?
There is currently pretty sweet animation film on Kickstarter called Implosion: ZERO_DAY by Rayark Inc. It is based in the same universe with the award winning ARPG Implosion - Never Lose Hope for iOS and Android. It will be full feature film and creator says it will be around 90 mins long. The anime also will be PG-13 type film as far as language, violence and sexual content are concerned. This blog post is also informative and worth to check out. The project is kickstarter staff pick and it is Featured project in Film & Video for Dec 15. 
I am one of the backers myself and I have backed 51 projects before this one, but I have never bothered with films/videos before. Implosion: ZERO_DAY just hits to the honey spot...the art looks stunning and the animation looks smooth already on the teaser trailer, which you can check out FROM HERE. The theme and setting is also pretty tempting...and damn, it is full feature film. All this together, made it pretty easy for me to jump aboard. What you think about this project or its art? 
The Kickstarter campaign is offering a huge range of rewards such as life-sized film replicas, Blu-ray copies of the film, designer clothing, and rare collectibles. I have picked the 45$ tier myself which gives you pretty nice stuff for your money. The tier is limited to 850 backers, so hurry up, if you want to pick the same one. 
So, check it out and back it, if you like what you see! Most importantly... spread the word! ^^

ANN did an article on this, but I'll add it here anyway because it seems appropriate. A Kickstarter was created for the anime CHIKA☆CHIKA IDOL billed as "...an idol anime project, brought to you by the director of A Certain Magical Index and Azumanga Daioh, Hiroshi Nishikiori."
Here's the Japanese kickstarter page on Makuake. Official Website |

Nice. They did a great job with the Bubblegum Crisis set, and the Otaku no Video should be done soon. Too bad the Canadian dollar is such shit (and also shipping to Canada is $20 wtf?) or I'd get right on this.

So, not really looking good for Skip Beat. About halfway through the campaign and its barely 10% of the way there. Thats a shame, I was looking forward to this one. haven't donated yet but am wondering if its worth it cause unlike KS, Indiegogo takes your money anyway even if the campaign fails right? |

My main problem is two things:
1) I'm not as familiar with Indigogo as with Kickstarter. This is mostly because all the webcomics and stuff tend to go with Kickstarter. I really don't want to have to sign up for a new site now. 2) I collect the manga, which is still ongoing, I don't see a tremendous need to own the anime regardless, sadly. Every so often I see a need to own both (like Legend of the Galactic Heroes), but it's very very rare. But even between these, I'd probably sign up for a swag-only tier if it were on Kickstarters, I believe. @publicenemy Unlike Kickstarter, Indigogo has the option to take the money, regardless if it makes it. And yeah, Skip Beat is using that option. |

I wish the campaign were a little clearer, because I've seen on several sites people stating that they weren't supporting it because it wasn't KS and because they would lose their money if the campaign was not a success. From the comments section:
And earlier:
My impression is if they get enough money but don't reach their goal people who pledged will still get rewards, but if they don't hit a certain amount then they will refund. Ann said she was going to be on ANNCast so hopefully she can clear up some of these questions and people's worries. I think information not being clear and people just repeating what they've heard on forums (that you lose your money if it doesn't hit its goal) is hurting the campaign. I wouldn't mind some more clarification myself, but unfortunately due to some unforeseen expenses I may not be able to support this. I'll have to wait to the end to see how my finances are doing this month. |

Well looks like Skip Beat! has now been moved from indiegogo to Kickstarter. So people who were uncomfortable with indiegogo will now have the opportunity to pledge on Kickstarter.
Skip Beat! KS |

Well with about a day under their belts Skip Beat! has hit $41,641. I'd say they are off to a decent start. Here's hoping they are able to reach their goal.
