Hello Backers, I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates. We are working on the Kimagure Orange Road Kickstarter and expect to finish that project by the end of January. Once we finish that project, we will be dedicating our time to Kodomo no Jikan. Right now, we are set to release Kodomo no Jikan omnibus vol. 1 digitally to our backers by next Friday (August 10). It is a little nudge forward but soon you will own a digital copy of the first omnibus. A week after backers have received their digital copy, we will publish it on the eManga store at eManga.com. (Omnibus vol. 1 will be print-ready as well) Despite what you hear, we are still working on publishing manga and more importantly, working on kickstarters. I appreciate your patience throughout this process. And by looking through the comments, I noticed a lot of comments regarding updates(lack thereof). While I am always disheartened to update little to no progress, I will try my best to post updates on small details and things of that nature. Please note that I am also in charge of a department here at DMI but if you message us via Kickstarter, I will respond to you and answer to the best of my capabilities.
We have a few more things in the works that we hope to unveil over the next week or so, including another new reward, some add-on items, and more! We also want to let everyone know that we are very seriously investigating the potential of making an English dub of the show a stretch goal, and are currently in discussions with a few companies to see how feasible that is, so expect more news on that soon as well! Thank you to everyone who's shown their support so far, and to anyone who will in the future - we're relying on your help to make this happen!
We've got a big update for you: ARIA The ANIMATION is now officially at verification! That means replication will be happening very soon.
Here's what this means for you:
1) When we submit the replication order, we need to know the final amount of discs to make. That means ARIA The ANIMATION (Season 1) will be REMOVED FROM THE SLACKER BACKER OPTIONS on August 6th at 11:59PM Central Time. If you have been waiting to put in a slacker backer order for season 1, do it ASAP!
Please note, the rest of the seasons and the Guidebook will still be available for purchase. When those items get closer to release, we'll give a cutoff date for them as well.
2) We can't give an exact season 1 release date, since the time it takes to replicate a set can vary. But as soon as the season 1 sets are received into our warehouse, they will be shipping out to US backers. You will receive a shipping notice when that happens, along with an estimated delivery date. So, consider this the last call: if you need to update your shipping information, please do so now! This link will take you where you need to go: https://www.rightstufanime.com/contact-us
INTERNATIONAL BACKERS: The initial plan was that all items for international backers (including tier rewards) would ship in a single shipment once all ARIA seasons were complete. However, we have received requests to do partial shipments by season, and are currently investigating the possibility for those who are interested (although there will be an additional shipping charge). We'll keep you posted as we figure out the details.
It is Okamoto.
Dear Backers,
Today, I have to make a regrettable report.
Completion of the animation will be delayed.
As we reported last time, it is due to lack of personnel.
I judged that further time is necessary to keep quality in it.
The new prospect of completion of the work is in September, 2018.
And the shipment of rewards will be later.
I am really sorry for Buckers who is looking forward to the work.
And I am keenly aware that I am immature.
I will continue to put one's heart into this project.
Best regards,
MECHA-UDE's Director

Hello [NAME REDACTED],
Thank you for voicing your concerns about the recent Re: Zero release.
We’ve heard from a handful of people that there may be issues with this release. We used the approved materials from the licensor under their direction, however based on what we're hearing from our fans, we’re continuing to further investigate this issue.
Our fans and their feedback are important to us and we want to make sure you have the best anime experience possible—thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Thank You!

Dear eBay Seller,
eBay supports tax policy that is fair to entrepreneurs, artisans and small businesses and opposes efforts to impose taxes that are harmful to sellers like you, who are vital to the American economy. For all the small business sellers that use eBay there has never been a more critical time to stand against new and unfair Internet taxes.
The U.S. Supreme Court will make a decision in the coming weeks that could give states the right to tax every small business on the Internet. The issue is just as pressing on Capitol Hill. States, shopping center owners, and giant retailers are lobbying hard to increase taxes on small business owners like you, and everyone who buys from you online. When the Supreme Court makes its decision, it will bring together the various threads on the issue of Internet sales tax.
Our leaders in Washington, D.C. and in state capitals across America need to know how you feel about new Internet tax burdens – burdens that could negatively impact your ability to sell online in a variety of ways.
The link below takes you to a petition we plan to deliver to President Trump, key members of Congress, and select state governors. Please digitally sign the petition today. It will take you less than three minutes and help us tell political leaders that you stand with us against these new taxes. Feel free to encourage your networks to also sign the petition.
Rest assured that eBay will continue to fight this battle on your behalf!
Sincerely,
Scott Cutler
SVP, Americas Marketplace
eBay
