This looks neat form the bit I have read so far, and I was already enjoying Sherlock as well as the fact Detective stories are my favorite genre. However my finances are very low at the moment, but hopefully I can contribute before March 3rd.

I watched the first episode of this back when it first came out in November. It felt less like an episode or short film, and more like a 5 minute preview clip from a movie or tv show.

Not to say that I didn't like it. I just thought it was strange that Steve Ahn kept calling it a "short film", when it didn't really categorically feel like one. I do hope this Kickstarter campaign is successful, since I wouldn't mind seeing more.

This looks interesting, and the selfie stuff is an inspired choice. I’d really like to see where they could take this story.

I am not a fan of western anime but I admire the team's mission for this project. And both main characters are girls so that is a great bonus.

Kickstarter has been home to so many scams and false promises that I cannot in good conscience support anything on it.

I'm pretty sure this one is legit, but I understand if you feel that way. I have been hearing cases in which people have used kickstarter either to scam others or they do use the website for its purpose but fail to deliver on the quality of the product (as well as merchandise like what happen with Mighty Number 9).

The "Skip Beat" dub campaign isn't one of them. Here's partial proof. Caitlin Glass tweeted (@caitlinsvoice) on 1/19/18@2:14PM about getting the DVD: "Look! @executivegoth & I finally got our copies of #skipbeat dub, just in time for his b-day!!! Can’t wait to watch".
