It is the year 2032 A.D. Like a Phoenix, the city of MegaTokyo is rising from the ashes of a devastating earthquake. In the twisted canyons of the megalopolis, the Knight Sabers, a small band of high tech mercenaries, fight a lonely battle against the evil GENOM Corporation and its sinister androids, the Boomers. Venture into an all too probable future, where technology has run amuck, and emotion is all that separates Man from Machine.Character Designs by one of the most popular Anime character designers, Ken'ichi Sonoda (Gunsmith Cats).Winner of 2 awards from DVD Vision Japan, the 2004 Best Boxset and 2004 Best Rerelease awards.- Comics Online- Euro Cult AV“” — Ollie Barder, Forbes. Bubblegum Crisis Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray Set (OOP!)The Bubblegum Crisis Ultimate Edition was an experiment in 'crowdproduction'. This custom limited-edition set was originally available by preorder only, and began shipping on December 12th, 2014. As this is a limited-edition set, it will never be repressed, was only available for sale on the AnimEigo website, and was never sold for less than the price paid by the original backers.- Anime Herald- The Fandom Post- Happy Console Gamer Video Review' - FilmSmash History of the SetThis set was not only for the fans, but by the fans as well! 50% of the funds raised (after fundraising expenses) went directly into the production budget, and the backers of the project got to decide how the budget was allocated.

• Bubblegum Crisis Priss

The initial fundraising via a raised over $150,000, and the backers immediately made a significant budget decision, voting overwhelmingly to expand the set from 2 to 3 BD50 Blu-Ray discs, to permit a higher bitrate (better video quality) and space for extra content.The discs are not region-locked and will play in all Blu-Ray players - please note however that we cannot ship this set to Japan, China or Taiwan due to license restrictions. We can also ship AD Police and Bubblegum Crash internationally; all other titles are US/Canada only.Backers were deeply involved in the project, and have helped organize a as well as add extra subtitle languages (in addition to the English and French subtitles that were already available, German, Italian, Finnish and Japanese were added).

Production rates in excess of 40k tabs per hour combined with a roll capacity of nearly 50k tabs makes the KR535 another real deal – productive, reliable and simple to operate.

The project was coordinated on the.The Ultimate Edition is available in two flavors: Basic and Premium. Premium backers paid an additional $50, but half of that went into a special Premium Production Budget that they alone decided how to allocate. They could choose to add special bonuses just for themselves, or altruistically improve the set for everyone - or some combination of the two.The series is also available in a 4 DVD Box Set with English and Japanese audio and English and French Subtitles.

Doing this project as a Kickstarter lets us totally avoid this problem, and precisely tailor the project to your specifications. We do this by having two simple rules. A Singular GoalDue to the unusual way we're doing this KickStarter, we only have one goal.

If we reach it, the budget will be enough to provide each supporter with Bubblegum Crisis (with both Japanese and English soundtracks, and optional subtitles in English and French), all the Hurricane Live animated music videos, and the Holiday in Bali live-action video on 2 region-free BD50 Blu-Ray discs.In addition, supporters will get access to a downloadable Omake (Extras) Archive that will contain all the static bonus materials we have, including program notes, song lyrics, translated interviews with the original creators,. Our current plan is to provide this in both HTML and PDF formats, so you can refer to it on a tablet while watching the videos.Finally, the package will include 5 Postcards from MegaTokyo and a custom that you will help design.Our estimated delivery date for the product is August 2014. We hope to get it done sooner, but in our CrowdProduction system, you might decide you want a feature (like a new dub, or adding AD Police) that takes extra time.Important Geographical Restriction: due to license restrictions, we cannot ship this product to Japan, the People's Republic of China, or Taiwan. Stretch Robert's Wallet!Even though we didn't set out to have stretch goals, one of the interesting things about the CrowdProduction process is that it is already causing the project to evolve. One of the things a lot of backers are saying they'd like to allocate the budget to is a 3rd BD50 disc (to permit additional content, and higher bitrates).

Patrons get everything Premium supporters get. In addition, your name will be listed as a patron when the disc loads, and you will receive a special bonus item - first come, first served. The cels come from my personal collection, and most include the pencil sketch.There are multiple limited-quantity Patron levels, each associated with particular items. Many are cels, which you can see here:,. We also have, and the infamous “Night Night Knight Sabers' Satin. And thanks to our friends in Japan, we've got 4 poseable and preprinted 1/15 scale figures available:, and (only the Boomer articulates). Also, one of your fellow project backers has donated 1/8 scale to be used as Patron rewards.Finally, we have a special Patron Inspector reward that gets you one of the actual replication check discs - you'll get to see one of the discs before everyone else (and if you see a problem, hopefully you'll tell us about it!)We also have limited number of the original in three groups: Basic+Poster, Premium+Poster, and Patron Poster.

Bubblegum Crisis Priss

And don't worry, the posters will be shipped in tubes - although if you ask nicely, we'd be happy to fold yours up as well.And then there's the Sonoda Sketches - Sonoda Ken'ichi, the lead character designer of Bubblegum Crisis, will create, sign, and personally inscribe a sketch of your favorite Knight Saber! Only 4 sketches will be available.Note: some non-Poster Patrons have indicated they want the Poster as well. KickStarter doesn't make that easy, but I have reserved some copies to handle 'lost in the mail' situations. If you are a Patron who wants a poster, contact me and I will put you on a waitlist - with any luck we'll be able to get you a poster. Finally, there is the exclusive SuperBoomer level. In addition to the premium supporter benefits, your name will appear on the actual printed packaging, and you will receive. To give you some idea of how much this means to me, Largo has been on my business card for over 20 years.

I will literally weep if someone actually springs for this. Update: Waaaaah! I am retroactively increasing the reward to make it include 5 copies of the product, not just one; after all, the SuperBoomer will want to give them to family and friends!Patrons will get their special items immediately after the KickStarter concludes!

Music Video Maestro! (6 available starting Wed 10/30 @ 8pm ET)All the core benefits of being a Patron (Premium benefits plus being listed when the disc loads), plus you will have the opportunity to visit the incredibly non-fancy AnimEigo office in Wilmington NC, where we will coach you through the process of recutting one of the music videos into HD and subtitling it! You will receive an official production credit and your name will be displayed - as the editor - when the video plays on the Blu-Ray.

You'll also get 5 copies of the final product, not just 1! Airfare and Hotel not included (because they are so variable), but we'll handle ground transportation in Wilmington and take you out for a nice celebration dinner.

We think someone with no previous editing experience will be able to complete the job in about a day, so this could be done on a weekend - fly in on Friday night, edit up a storm on Saturday, and fly back Sunday.The first choice of which music video to work on goes to the supporter who claims the Music Video Maestro #1 reward, second choice to the claimer of Music Video Maestro #2, and so on.As with all other support levels, 50% of the amount raised (after KickStarter expenses and actual out-of-pocket expenses related to providing the reward) goes directly into the production budget. So you'll not only get to do something cool, but you will be increasing the budget so that everyone ends up with a better product. And as a Patron, you'll have a say in how both the Basic and Premium budgets get allocated!Double Vision OptionIf you have selected the Basic level or above as your reward, you can get a second copy of the product by simply pledging an extra $45 (US) or $55 (International). For example, if you live in the US and pledge $50+$45=$95, then just select the Basic reward and you will get a second copy.

Or if you live in the UK and managed to snag an Early Adopter Premium spot ($90+$10 shipping), then pledging $90+$10+$55=$155 will get you a second copy.To change your pledge and activate Double Vision, use the “ Manage Your Pledge” button on the upper right of the Kickstarter page, then change the amount (in green). Do not change the reward tier. Then click “ Continue to Next Step” and finally “ Confirm.”.
