Already upgraded my pledge to the new tier. Hopefully its gets high enough to finish the Natural cause it would be weird to only have half a season.

Is it possible to extend the campaign at the end ? With the actual momentum, and the nice boost provided by the additional tiers, I'd really like to think that whatever the amount reached within 50-60 days would be enough to dub the entire trilogy, rather than splitting the project in two campaigns.

The perfect scenario would be dubbing the entire trilogy, along the Arietta OVA & (finally!) the Epilogue OVAs.

Has Junichi Sato ever written a comment about this project or given his reaction about all this love Aria is getting a decade plus after its original airing ?

I doubt the campaign can be extended. But even if could be extended, there is no guarantee that many new pledges would come in to reach, say $400,000. If you are worried about dubbing and releasing the whole thing on BD, Nozomi has already said that they are launching a new campaign to collect more money if needed.

The Aria Kickstarter is a big success, and I have no doubt that all three seasons, the old OVA and potentially the new OVA's will be dubbed and released on BD with the help of crowdfunding.

The Arietta OVA, episode 5.5, and the picture dramas were all released with the Origination set originally, so those should be on the table already for future stretch goals. The Avvenire OVAs, on the other hand, are up in the air as far as we know.

I just hope the Dub is super well done as a reward for all the passion being shown to fund it

214k as of this moment. If I remember correctly, they said 240k for second part of season 2. Really looking like it's going to move onto season 3 soon.

Also, the trend of the crowdfunder is interesting. August 25 (halfway point of the 1 month deadline) is the second highest donated date in so far.

I think they would be asking for at least $300,000 for season 3 to get dubbed. Event though we have a little over 2 weeks left, I wonder if we will get past the $300K. Spreading the word to other web forums is a way to help. If I was employed, I would gladly pledge to buy up to $150. Since I am not, I pledged $1.

And I'm now up to "Pair plus" which is kind of a downgrade from "Single- Early". It'd be nice if they ended up offering one with just the BDs and the chipboard box if it's designed to fit the whole collection. If they did then I'd put off buying more of the sets and focus on getting the exclusive box. Honestly, this isn't the best time as one of the prime reasons I backed the Skip Beat Kickstarter was because I had an end of the year bonus.

Also, I just don't want a cat butt mug. Is that weird?

With the preceding Kickstarters being fully funded at such a fast pace, it shouldn't be too long before this Kickstarter of Aria the Natural is finished as well...

$230,154 pledged of $110,000 goal
1,668 backers
14 days to go

Only $10,000 more for the rest of season 2, once the new tiers unlock I think it would jump another $30,000 in a day again.
