I am actually a fan of Kud myself, though I suppose I don’t rank her towards the top of my favorites of All of Key. I was mostly being dramatic and poking fun at how serious the hate for Kud Wafter gets 
Though I stand by the assertion that her marketability goes beyond anything pertaining to Kud’s canon personality and content of stories and her face alone will continue to sell both the good and the bad products alike.

I’m reading a spanish report and seems like are going to appear characters like Masato that aren’t in the VN… Now I’m reading JC Staff and seeing the haters incoming 
(I actually liked the JC Staff adaptation but probably I’m going to try reading the Kud Wafter before the anime like I’m planning to do with EX routes 
)
Finally more Kud Wafter news; this really made my day and filled the void in my heart a bit again after finishing that SukaSuka anime. Seems they have planned quite something for LB 10th anniversary (and probably hurt my wallet)
Hopefully someone that can understand Japanese better than me can summarize the important points from the video.
According to the video Masato will indeed appear (Jump to 17:13 in the video)
I don’t really mind JC Staff either; I think they did a decent job on LB. KW is a lot easier to adapt than LB and I wouldn’t mind if they took some liberties in the adaption. Also this means at least 8bit will keep their hands off Kud Wafter. I also read somewhere it’s going to be a movie (hopefully at least 2 if that’s the case) but I can’t find a confirmation.

The original announcement of the crowdfunding campaign mentions they want to give it a theatrical release but it could be planned as an ONA that will release in theatres too.

I really don’t see why if Key/VA can crowdfund an anime for a Kud Adaption, even a theatrical release (as implied), why they couldn’t crowdfund movies/ONA’s/OVA’s for the Rewrite heroine routes, nor Tomoyo After.
Little Busters! isn’t even that popular or known in the west, and Kud is the only VN that hadn’t been (fan)translated to be released, and also has only a small fraction of Little Busters!’ popularity. I don’t see how they could get enough money overseas to help.
Of course it may be popular in Japan for all I know. They definitely won’t get much overseas though. Any of their other titles would get more funding overseas, and that’s a fact.

With how much attention we’ve been getting lately (official translations, Harmonia being released in English first) its easy to forget that VA’s number one priority will always be Japan. And that’s OK. Even if we have to grin and bear Kud Wafter.
I noticed that on the banner for the LB! tenth anniversary, it says “Mission 01”. Could this mean they have more things in store for LB Tenth anniversary?!
I’m just a girl, on a journey to see all beauty and cute this world has to offer me.
Yes you can check the video I posted above or the LB 10th aniversary poster. So far they have planned:
Mission 1: Kud Wafter anime adaption project
Mission 2: Little Busters shikishi present
Mission 3: LB birthday mission twitter campaign
Mission 4: Merchandise sale
Mission 5: LB English version project
This is just my opinion but i think it probably because this is an experiment to see if this will be more successful than tv broadcast.
One of the reason they choose it to be a theatrical release was because they saw how much success/popularity movie like your name got and realize it might get much broader reach and profit that way. KW is a prefect candidate for the experiment for various reasons and J.C already said they wanted to make KW anime waaaay back.
And for all we know they probably using this to announce KW english edition afterward(that would explain why they waited this long to make KW anime instead of just do it after LB anime is finished)
Well I’m not interested in KW but I want to see how this whole thing went.
Are we sure about this being a theatrical release? As far as I can tell, VA has only referred to this as being an anime adaptation so far. The recent Kazamatsuri article doesn’t mention anything like that either.
I didn’t watch the stream so I don’t know what was said there but from what I read in the japanese report,it said that there will be several stretch goals and the final goal is for a theatrical release. I supposed nothing is set in stone yet and they might change it to something else if it doesn’t reach that goal so everything is vague for now.
And please correct me if I’m wrong about this.
They definitely mentioned something about a theatrical release in the stream, I guess we forgot to include that or decided against it for some reason. @Pepe @HeliosAlpha
They don’t make anything definite because they obviously don’t have the money for it yet. They emphasize like three times that the kickstarter has to succeed before anything. Even the Moetron picture says that a theatrical release would be a like final stretchgoal.
So it’s a possibility. We should report that in the article
Seems like the crowdfunding has already started https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/36314?token=9z1gn33a
so the first goal is a 30 million yen goal for a 20 min OVA.
Nice to see though that the 400k yen rewards sold out instantly and 20 percent is already funded (edit 33 percent now)
I heard they still doing crowfunding for Kud Wafter OVA…but someone in twitter upload this picture…looks like an official pv to me…
