$50 for the BluRay + Artbook isn't terrible, I'm considering it. It will be subbed in English though, right? I mean it'd have to be if the kickstarter is in english and aimed at western audiences.

It's crazy that all the $10,000 and $2,000 backer slots are already all gone

Stretch Goal - $500,000

-The Standard edition of the Blu-ray will be receiving an audio commentary and a making of Little Witch Academia 2 documentary.

-The Limited edition of the Blu-ray will be receiving an Original Sound Track and a Gengasyu (Line art collection book)

Well that's a tad underwhelming, kinda hoping for another episode or more footage. I guess I can't really complain though

[rtil]

apparently bundling an OST, documentary and audio commentary is more expensive than 15 minutes of animation

[zwimmy]

More money isn't going to change the fact that time is a constant. While the funds could go to making the episode longer, that means they'll have to push the release date back further and they said they didn't want to do that.

[rtil]

they don't necessarily have to put the funds into one single, longer episode. they could release the original on time and make more after the fact.

[cipher]

There's a new update on the page. In a nutshell, their plans seem to be to produce a 40 min episode, and if that is just as well received as the current one, then they may even consider trying to do a movie or series

I guess we are not so talented in doing business as we are in making animations.

at least they're honest
