The Kickstarter page notes that the staff consider the project to be the “next step” toward creating an Under the Dog television anime series.
The project met its minimum US$580,000 goal on Kickstarter in September 2014 and eventually raised US$878,028 in Kickstarter pledges.
Japanese music company EXIT TUNES’ Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for a new Under the Dog live-action short and music video ended after reaching its goal of US$50,000 on Friday.
The staff plan for the two new projects to accompany Japanese theatrical screenings and web streams of the original 30-minute anime short Under the Dog Episode 0.
