The studio also made 10 minutes OVA version and The Ancient Magus' Bride which have similar vibes. If you're interested, see https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/witstudio/totsukuni
If this is about why we added the entry before it reached its goal, we usually do not add crowdfunded projects until they get greenlit… but this one is a bit weird
They announced it like any anime announcement: with a staff list, VAs, PV and even a release date
So we think production has already started and Wit would just like more funds to polish the animation
It was also announced that there will be a crowdfunding campaign for the anime. The target amount is 3 million yen, and the goal is to use the funds raised to improve the quality of the animation and expand the promotion.
