Mai Mai Miracle Kickstarter Meets Goal in Less Than a Day
posted on by Emma Hanashiro
Within one day of Anime Limited met its US$30,000 goal on Thursday for an English-subtitled release in the United States and United Kingdom. As of 11:00 a.m. ET, the campaign has raised over $33,700 and will continue to run until March 7.
Anime Limited President dub. After confirming that the US$30,000 goal has been met, the company will announce the level of the first stretch goal, which will "pretty likely" be $60,000. For other goals, the company is "talking to Katabuchi-san directly about two options — which we'll open up to backers over a day to vote on." The company is starting to approach Avex about including a soundtrack, but cautioned that this would be complicated.
Anime Limited describes the story:
Shinko, is a third grade elementary school student with a magically active imagination. She spends a lot of her time listening to her grandfather's history lessons, imagining what her town was like 1,000 years earlier. One day, a sad and sombre girl called Kiiko transfers to Shinko's school from Tokyo. A strong friendship soon grows between the two girls as Shinko helps Kiiko come out of her shell and deal with her loss - all thanks to their adventures, both imagined and real.
