The crowdfunding of Suzumiya Haruhi, rejected
Dec 05
Waaaaaa!!!
Anime Project, the Spanish company who was trying to attract fundings with a crowdfunding model to license the first season of Suzumiya Haruhi on Blu-ray, had to face a negative of Kadokawa. The reason? The people of Kadokawa is still in the 20th century and don’t like their precious series being licensed that way. And just like that, negociations were broken. A pity. Anime Project is going to try with their second option, Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagan. One of the comments on their facebook page says bitterly: “Making deals with those Japanese guys should be an Olympic event.”

The crowdfunding of Suzumiya Haruhi
Oct 22
“¡Dame tus euros, tío!”
Anime Project, a young Spanish company created by anime fans in 2008, is trying to bring to their country, Spain, the first season of Suzumiya Haruhi on Blu-ray using an interesting model: crowdfunding. For as little as 5 Euros, you can get your own name listed on the credits of the final disc. There are different “prizes” you can get depending on how much you donate, but one of them is quite interesting: if you donate 1,000 Euros, you can even participate in the dubbing!! Well, only 3 places are allowed, and only doing a support character, but it’s an interesting way to attract fundings.
