That’s right! I participated in my first ever “Kickstarter” program. Albeit a measly $15 patron, I’m still entitled to some pretty neat gifts (even though that’s not the main reason I participated, well, sorta). See below:
Watch the announcement for a groundbreaking new Kickstarter project for The Vision of Escaflowne–and join us in creating a new definitive dub of this classic that finally matches the uncut HD content!
Read more and back the Kickstarter today at http://funi.to/1n4Rq2a!
The uncut HD Japanese version of the classic anime The Vision of Escaflowne includes scenes that have never been seen in North America, meaning that English speakers have never experienced the show fully in dubbed format. Help make a fan-demanded complete dub finally a reality!
If you are at all interested in a Blu-ray/DVD re-release of this anime classic with never-before-seen-in-English scenes from the original Japanese release . . . Did I also mention a BRAND NEW ENGLISH DUB by FUNimation Entertainment? Then consider throwing a few bucks at this kid. It’s their first Kickstarter and mine as well, and I hope my $15 token helps bring the project closer to its steep $150,000 goal (even though they are well over 3/4 there.

The Vision of Escaflowne Kickstarter itself
Being my first, I didn’t want to overspend, you know? But contributing even a little bit was thrilling, and I hope it pays off! Only the name The Vision of Escaflowne is familiar to me; I know virtually nothing about the franchise. Nevertheless, you can expect Takuto’s REAL NAME to appear on the on-disc credit listing if everything works like it should, haha!
Just thought I’d pop by with my thoughts. Support NOW while you can, as this Kickstarter is FLYING BY! Spend wisely ~

You totally should if cash isn’t tight right now!! I reeeeally wanted to do the $65 one to get a copy of the show when it comes out (that’s what that offer means, right?). And NOPE, but I’ll have to watch it when it comes out for sure!

I think that’s only for the first 13 episodes though but it’s pretty good! Oh def watch it all, this show is one of my favorites 😀 hope you enjoy it lol
I also ended up funding it! \(￣ though I’m confused, would the perks of say the 15tier be included in the 200tier? Or does it not include it @_@

Oh yeah, it is just the first half, but I think it’d be worth it in the long run (plan to pick it up, and that’ll be at least $40 . . . So just $25 extra for more goodies. And YOU FUNDED TOO?! YASSS! How much?
As to your question, The Lovers $200 includes:
Digital wallpaper, On-disc credit listing (my fave), Certificate of Participation, Escaflowne Collector’s Edition, and the exclusive soundtrack.

Good job on supporting anime localization. I do wonder however why a big company like Funimation would require the aid of crowd funding.

That’s a good question Judge. Maybe because having niche anime’ are very costly?.

Could very well be, Rocco, but I just hope it doesn’t become a trend for a company like themselves. That could potentially ruin their reputation as America’s “#1 anime distributor” and whatnot.

Thank you for your congratulations. And you know, I’m really not sure why FUNi did it through Kickstarter. So long as it’s a one-time thing I guess, cause if I have to start finding every other show, I’m moving to Britain.
Or perhaps Australia, whatever I fancy.
