This Kickstarter campaign highlights a growing trend within the anime industry, where crowdfunding is becoming an increasingly viable way to gauge interest and secure funding for new projects. By directly engaging fans, creators can not only raise the necessary funds but also build a community of supporters who are invested in the success of the project.
Crowdfunding allows for a more democratic approach to content creation, giving fans a voice and a stake in the projects they love. This model can lead to greater innovation and creativity, as creators feel empowered to take risks and explore new ideas.
