SharifEbeefE said: Masahiro Ando is THE MAN. Everything he's been apart of has been good. But it's only supposed to be a 24 minute OVA? Or is it actually going to be a full length series? If it's simply going to be 24 minutes long I have no intention on contributing. A lot of people seem to be misinterpreting the aimed length of this project. Despite the original creator saying that he thought of the story for a 26 episode series, this project only intends to create a 24 minute episode. Then there are a couple stretch goals - if it hits 1.16 million they make another 24 minute episode; 1.74 million for a third 24 minute episode (it is mentioned that both of these would be prequels); 5.1 million for a full feature length film of 90-120 minutes. Unless I'm missing something, a full series isn't planned, since they would need much more money than that. |

| Looks amazing. Will chip in 30 i guess. |
 |
| I want that fig, but 500 is steep. Likely gonna end up with the 100. |
 |
| Doesn't really seem anything special, but I'd like to see more anime kickstarters. Helping fund a specific project sounds nicer than scattering money across the industry. |
| Animation looks fantastic and I really love the character design of Yusuke Kozaki. I think it's worth to spend some money on. |

In such a situation where you are driven into a corner [...] and must kill [your] fellow compatriots.” OK, on a second pass, this sounds totally like Red Dead Redemption. I thought it was going to be Zero Dark Thirty: The Anime. |

| I've backed with $30, but when do we get charged? I can't find the information anywhere. |
  |
| I'm interested. I'll give my support. |
| Disappear. This chair is an eyesore. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. |
| The way that blood BURSTS from everybody's neck when they get kicked with a foot seems a bit stupid and tryhard. Plot sounds ok, but for only one 24 min episode? Half a million dollars? Yea right. |

Kuromii said: I've backed with $30, but when do we get charged? I can't find the information anywhere. The way Kickstarter works is that you won't get charged until the Kickstarter (1) passes its backing goal and (2) successfully reaches the end of the backing period. |
| Color me interested. The art and animation looks good, and they have people from FullMetal Alchemist and Ghost in the shell. I'm getting this Guilty Crown vibe from the trailer though and I hope it doesn't turn into shit. |
 |
| This looks pretty interesting. They have a lot of big names working on this, and I like the synopsis. The price seems fair, but a bit ambitious for a crowdfunding attempt. I don't know. A single 24 minute episode could go really wrong, and I'm not exactly expecting them to hit the movie stretch goal (which would replace the normal episodes if they reached it). Still, I've always been for creators retaining their creative rights. Hmm. As wrenchbread noted, you aren't charged unless the kickstarter is successfully funded, so I suppose I'll throw in my support. The BD is too much for me, but the digital tiers are nice. |
| Sounds like a try-hard attempt to be Munich: The Anime. |
I pledge for 100 USD which will reward me a region free BD + eng subs among other things, hope for the campaign's success!  |
 |
| Hmm, something sounds really off and bad about the synopsis. Can't really tell what but mostly the premise is a bit exaggerated. Nice animation but I won't be backing it. |

| Looks quite promising but 580$K that's quite a bit for a 24 minute episode. |
| i'm going to back 25$ 29 day remaining and the amount didn't even reach 100k $. i wonder if they are really going to make it at the right time |

|
| Looks very promising. |
 |
| I honestly do not see this working out for them. The kickstarter for LWA worked out because it was a well liked and has an established fanbase. They should have started small before trying this sort of thing out seeing as to how niche the anime market is compared to stuff like video games and such and kickstarter.com is also a western oriented site which could pose some obvious problems. I do hope that it actually succeeds though. Ain't got no credit card for this kind of thing.

If this goes on they will easily make it. If you're familiar with how kickstarter works, you would know that the project will get the most funding on its first few days and slow down over the course of the month and pick back up when it's about to end. It's like an x squared graph of something similar. |

It's like an x squared graph of something similar. While it's too early to make any valid predictions this is definitely true. As a reference, Little Witch Academia reached its goal of 150 thousand dollars in 6 hours but needed another 20-something days to reach the stretch goal of 500k. |
| I pledged yesterday and I'm pleased to see that it's making solid progress. I like the creative team behind this and I believe that if it's successful, it could slowly open up the doors for other creators to try do their own project. You wouldn't believe how little the writers/directors in the anime industry make in Japan due to the way different companies share the production costs and risks. |

| Both the synopsis and the trailer look very interesting. I'll watch it. |
| So basically, the series will be added to the database when/if enough money is raised, I assume. I might just throw something in myself. |
| Animation does look really nice, and I'm all for more of this kind of stuff. I'll back this up for sure. Aiming for the last reward... anyone has money to spare? like a couple thousand... or 10000$ to be precise? |
| Too bad I'm unable to back this up. I would've love to but oh well. |
| Synopsis has me interested. $580k for a 24 min anime? daamn. |
 |
| Everything about UTD looks great in the pv its an interesting storyline the art, animation, and etc are all great the sounds fantastic hopefully the goals are reached |

PrOxAnto said: Omg ... just watched the first 2 minutes they had on the kickstarter page ... this looks really solid, animation is amazing ! And the soundtracks ... like a proper Hollywood entry song ^^ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/under-the-dog This looks pretty good o.o From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like there's going to be much censoring in this which will be good *w*b |
 |
| This looks great ! |
 |
| i'll never give money to kickstarter, especially when these guys want over half a mil. They're out of their minds, just looking for a pay day from a bunch of otaku suckers. |
| The synopsis seems really interesting. More and more anime are turning to Kickstarter. I hope this keeps up :) |
Marthgun said: i'll never give money to kickstarter, especially when these guys want over half a mil. They're out of their minds, just looking for a pay day from a bunch of otaku suckers. You seem to have a poor idea of how much it costs to make an anime episode. For high quality art, animation, sound, and VAs, that's a fair price. They're trying to deliver a high-quality product. It's one thing if you don't think they can deliver, but it seems more like you're just spewing nonsensical hate. Edit: Subpyro said: So basically, the series will be added to the database when/if enough money is raised, I assume. I might just throw something in myself. Wouldn't it need to wait until after the kickstarter ends? Stretch goals could add additional episodes or even turn it into a movie (though I think the latter is unlikely). |

| Looks like some ex-Bone staff are involved and the character designer was the one behind Fire Emblem: Awakening and No More Heroes (which had some lovely looking designs). The author behind is the one who wrote the 428 VN which ended up spawning CANAAN of Type-Moon fame. Also love the director's work on Sword of The Stranger and CANAAN and his style is definitely showing here. Folks should check these out to see what they're potentially in for (animation direction-wise): CANAAN - Opening: Sword Of The Stranger - Final Fight (SPOILERS AHEAD): |

| Masahiro Ando + Sci-Fi + No producers involved stfu and take my $. |
| Anime looks like it willbe a train reck unsure of what to focus on. On one hand you have trying to find these terrorists, on the other hand you have this girl facing an inner dilemna. Sure hope they son't screw up their focus. |
