Funded in ~15 hours. I think the Nips were genuinely surprised at the amount of money people in the west are willing to throw at their products. It was the same with Trigger and Little Witch Academia 2 as well. Hopefully they will begin opening up more venues like this for western anime fans, because let's face it, anime and visual novels especially, have been things marketed solely towards Japan for the longest time. They're taking babysteps now with LWA 2, Space Dandy Simulcasting in both America and Japan and now this.
Can't say I'm too surprised about Clannad being funded so fast, it is without a doubt THE most popular Visual Novel in the west, not to mention that anime adaptation has been seen by an ungodly amount of people. It will be a nice addition to the Steam library... Now the question is if I can stomach playing through it again and if they can get some real voice talent for the English version.
Oh well, we'll see... Time to depress people who've watched Clannad.
