We just received word that the physical goods will begin shipping out on December 26, 2017. Since there are a lot of physical goods backers, overseas shipments won't begin till the start of the new year. Please be sure to check your BackerKit account for more details and shipping notifications.

On top of that, we're pleased to announce that distribution of Steam digital keys for the NekoPara OVA will also begin on the 26th of December.

Also, I'd like to know who paid the $10000 pledge... to shake their hand :3

Will the OVA be all-ages or 18+?
The OVA will not have any explicit content. There might be some ecchi material, but nothing overt.

I wonder if they'll release an "un-cut" version like they normally do off Steam.

Nekopara was always a bit too much for my tastes, but its got definite appeal, managed to play it censored and had an ok time with it.

This is an Anime. Not a VN.

I'm aware, but it said it was being distributed on steam, so I'm assuming the same kind of steam censorship will be enforced.

Basically are they going to go full hentai is what I was getting at,

If they really release 18 rated, then it goes to H-Anime isn't it?

I wish that didn't really happened, because in VN, i really love with the story not the H-scene.

Nekopara is all a bit much for me as it is, I think the anime would make me cringe too much.

Isn't that an already established franchise ? Why are they on Kickstarter ?

Why should they pay all production money while they can get them from fans?

It was pretty much a rhetorical question but yeah, that is my guess too and the reason why I would never back something on a crowdfunding platform that doesn't treat their backers as investors. I don't mind when small innovators use Kickstarter but companies that have the money should carry the financial risks themselves. Also what risk... those games sell like sliced bread.

Nekoworks is still a small company...Sayori runs all the things on her own actually.

Considering he is just as much as an Independent.
Even though being Published by Sekai and having the Money not only from his Digital Sales for the Visual Novel with Voice Acting, then selling Manga during the Komiket Seasonal at Japan, those Funds are Not enough to cover an Animation Budget

I have to admit I didn't read the Kickstarter pitch carefully and assumed from "Apparently it's coming to Steam" that it's another game. Considering it's Anime which is kind of new terrain for them that makes it more understandable why they use Kickstarter.

Yep.
When it comes to Anime, Voice Actors + Animation + Publisher takes the most Funds in Japan.
Especially with Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works which took so much Budget for Ufotable on it Animation Part.

I don't think the Sakura Series can beat NEKO WORKs since they actually do a proper Visual Novel with Animation and Voice Acting which all sums up to have a better experience.

Yeah, Sakura VNs got popular on Steam because the ecchi niche wasn't a thing on Steam before, and I know a lot of people bought it for shits and giggles because "LOL BOOBS". Sakura anime would be too cliche to succeed, it wouldn't offer anything any other ecchi anime does, unless they would somehow surprise everyone.

Nyaa-wesome, that means we will get a 1-hour OVA :3 | They also defined further stretch goals:

  • $600k - additional subtitles languages (French, German, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish);
  • $800k - a mini VN game about younger Chocola and Vanilla;
  • $1M - a short anime based on the aforementioned minigame.
