Mai Mai Miracle Kickstarter Update

All the Anime’s Kickstarter campaign for Mai Mai Miracle reached its US$75,000 stretch-goal and the vote for extras has come to a close with the pamphlet winning out over the commentary.

While this may come as a disappointment to some backers All the Anime have now announced that they are trying to get the Japanese audio commentary and stated that they are looking into including the soundtrack as one of the options for the third stretch goal but, as they explain, there are complications in this:

We’ve had a lot of requests for the soundtrack so far and here’s why it wasn’t a part of the first set of goals:

– Currently Avex manages those rights, we got our rights from Shochiku.

– We’ve requested access, but we first have to explain how many units are needed and negotiate a fee based on that.

It’s a fiddly affair and I’m trying to push for it over the next week. I imagine after all costs in we’d need to hit $90,000 or $95,000 after fee, print costs, expansion of digipack and royalties to do this though.

We’d confirm as part of the next stretch though as I need to calculate the costs after making contact with Avex but our goal is to include it in the next pool of choices! So please spread the word and help us hit our 2nd goal first!

All the Anime also addressed the issue of the packaging for Mai Mai Miracle by showing the style of packaging they use for their release by a YouTube video:
