 A crowdfunding campaign for the previously planned anime adaptation of Little Busters!'s spin-off visual novel Kud Wafter has surpassed its initial goal of 30 million yen to create a 20-minute OVA. The campaign currently stands at 34 million yen (approximately $300,000) and an extra 10 minutes will be added to the episode if the fund raises 45 million yen, with the end goal being a theatrical release. The campaign was launched on Campfire website by Visual Art's on Wednesday and will end on September 28. A separate project for the international patrons will be announced at a later time.Slated for Fall 2019, the anime project will be produced by J.C.Staff with supervision by Key, and will be the first part of the tenth anniversary commemoration of the release of Little Busters! visual novel. Developed in June 2010, Kud Wafter is the eighth visual novel by Key. A PlayStation Portable version of the visual novel was released in May 2013, followed by a PlayStation Vita version in December 2013. A manga adaptation drawn by Bakutendou was serialized in Dengeki G's magazine between March 2010 and December 2013. PV Source: Hachima Kikou |

| Damn Fall 2019. I have plenty of time to try Little Buster before lel |
 |
| More little busters!!!! Yay!!! \o/ |
 |
| I bet this will satisfy the pedophile otakus very much. Like Haxx |
| Watching LB atm and I absolutely love Kud, so getting an OVA about her are great news, Wafu. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| thats one expensive episode lol 300,000 USD? meanwhile a lot of anime episode only have like 100,000 to 200,000 USD budget |
| tfw my waifu's finally getting her own show adapted, squeel~ Though it's a literal eternity away. Hopefully they'll reach some further stretch goals before the crowdfunding campaign closes so we can get some more runtime at least. If fucking Nekopara could raise almost a million for its OVA, I don't see why Kud Wafter can't too |

Symphyon said: I like Kud a lot (she's my third favorite girl of LB) ... would that make me consider a Pedo? ._. No, but only consume lolis in moderation for the sake of your mental well-being. |
| Hope it'll soon reach extended goals as well :3 |
  |
| A Key title that I'll never watch. Holy shit I don't get it why this get an adaptation. Maybe JC Staff is desperate and now wants to fish out lolicon people for more money. |
 |
>Slated for Fall 2019 The wait is long... :/ |
| Don't mind me, just a little upset that this had to be a crowdfunded project in the first place. |
 |
| Wow.... I just know that an anime adaptation requires that much money... You could buy a house for a 30+ minutes OVA.. Lol XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| more wafuu~ is always welcome but hell, $300,000?! that was impressive the fact that's it crowdfunded.. and scary at the same time |
| Hopefully it'll reach the 1hr mark. A 20-30 minute ova is a laughingstock, an introduction episode at best. |
| Fall 2019 is way too damn far away....... |

an extra 10 minutes will be added to the episode if the fund raises 45 million yen It makes me seriously question quality of storytelling when length depends on money avaible (or size of time slots for that matter), not the actual story there is to tell... So with more funds they would add another character? |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Thanks God it's not 8bit. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |

So with more funds they would add another character?Well, it is an adaptation of existing vn after all, so they probably prepared storyboards for each version, depending on how much they raise in this campaign - with Kud Wafter it'd be easy to make it just a short happy-go-lucky episode with some fanservice for fans, but if it's gonna be a feature-length movie they'll definitely go for some bigger drama. |

| @Kitsu-nee If hey are tight on money can they spare it on storyboards that won't be ever used? It just sounds cheap if you can add episode length as if it was some kind of fabric for drapes. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Kud a shit though. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Literally, i came. |
| FCKING HYPED was waiting for the news here on MAL. Really hope for they reach the final stretch goal :-: Just seeing the JC Staff artstyle brought tears to my eyes. I wonder what the other parts for the 10th Anniv Commemoration are. Anw with the LB spinoff slated for release... Tomoyo After anyone???(R.I.P. KyoAni) |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| Movie incoming. |
