A Kickstarter campaign launched by Sekai Project has surpassed its initial goal of 100,000 USD. The campaign aims to create a 20-minute OVA based on NEKO WORKs' visual novel series Nekopara. The funds raised currently stands at 273,585 USD, and an extra 10 minutes will be added to the episode for every additional 100,000 USD raised, with the maximum duration of an hour. The campaign, which was launched on December 28, will end on February 10.

Synopsis
What's NEKOPARA? Why, it's a cat paradise! Kashou Minaduki, the son of a long line of Japanese confection makers moved out to open his own shop "La Soleil" as a patisserie. But upon moving out, hidden amongst his things were two of the catgirls, Chocola and Vanilla, that the family had been raising. When he tried to send them back, they begged and pleaded until he gave in, and now they've opened La Soleil together. With two catgirls who really, REALLY love their master trying their very best and occasionally failing—a heartful comedy opens for business!

I'm so hyped for this! :D
Bummed out it won't be 18+, but oh well. Cute catgirls are good enough ^^

Wish the pledge goals weren't so high though >__<
50 dollars (+20 shipping) for a bluray is a bit above Ardy's budget

IT'S HAPPENING!

Purchased the series bundle on Steam a while back. Had to play in offline mode, but I do not regret the buy.

Ohhh I know what you mean Ardy.... It's too much... But the OVA looks delicious...

I had the feeling that it would be 18+ but, well, sometimes non-naked waifu + cat ears are more stimulating than ever...

But I guess, it's a good thing that other people helps and participates for the industry... The $$ will go the animators I am right?

hah?
wot?
wut?
wtf?

hmm, Well, an all age adaption, i'm surprised when a lot of people fund all age adaption like that. I thought Nekopara is about fapping.Well people can still fap to ecchi scene so there's that.

It is but before that it's SoL moments honestly. It's not only about fapping so, there's that.

If you want to go and have some fap material then read it, I personally ain't the fan of it per say (well blame the time I played it honestly), but you can surely get enjoyment out of it. This is probably just mere fanservice/advertisement honestly.

Honestly, I have a feeling this is going to be really disappointing

The Nekopara games have fantastic H-scenes. That was really their main selling point. But the slice of life segments were all really mediocre. They mostly made me sit there rolling my eyes waiting for the good parts to start

When you have a game where you only really care about having hot sex with horny catgirls, and then make an all ages OVA out of it, then as a producer you probably aren't really understanding what the games' main selling point was. You're literally adapting all of its negatives and none of its positives like this. That said I know there are some pretty crazy Nekopara fans out there who will probably eat this up simply because it's Nekopara so in terms of sales I'm sure this'll be a huge success anyway. But personally I doubt this can ever be better than like 3/10 or so (as that was what I gave the all-ages volume of the VN)

That aside, seeing a $100k Kickstarter be fully funded almost immediately was pretty funny

I would throw more money at it if I wasn't poor as spit T_T

@HaXXspetten: While for me too the main point of Nekopara were the H scenes, I will still probably enjoy this. It's just some moe cuteness with catgirls :3
Maybe later on they'll give us pervs what we want :P

I've pledged $100 (+$30 shipping) for the limited edition one! Can't wait for it to be released! Damn, can't believe this is happening and I've been following this since the first Nekopara series came out 2 years ago and I also played vol. 0 and 2 when they're released.

Vanilla best girl. Give me more Vanilla =w=

It's nice to know that an OVA of Nekopara is going to be produced. My brother likes Nekopara so I'm definitely showing it to him. Despite me not knowing much of the VN, (I only watched one episode of a let's play of it) I'm excited to watch it because the anime looks super cute and I love cute things.

300k dollars in 2 days, holy wow. This will surely get past 1 million. I wonder if they'll make a 2nd OVA with the extra money they'll get, if there is enough. Either way I can't wait for it.

Props to the madman who backed 10k.

They are rich basically, like, shit ton of money loads in their god damn pockets. But I'm not complaining.

and here's hoping Haruhi gets a 3rd season but it probably won't ;;
