So, the Muv-Luv Kickstarter was released half an hour ago, and it already has over $100,000!
This is really a historic event for anime and visual novel representation in the West -- I'm really hoping the medium gains traction because of this series. It's no hyperbole MLA this is the greatest VN ever released, and that (if you consider it a video game) it's one of the best games, period. If there's any game to prove that the VN is a legitimate storytelling medium, it's this one.
Not going to wax poetic about this game (today) but I'm really excited for the opportunities this Kickstarter represents -- sure there's prospects for anime and film adaptations, but also for a larger shift in Western perception. (And maybe a shift in storytelling patterns!)
EDIT: In 6.5 hours, the first goal was reached! $250,000!!! Amazing.
