 A crowdfunding campaign for an anime adaptation of Imomushi Narita's It's My Life fantasy manga exceeded its initial goal of five million yen (approximately US$46,000) on Friday to produce a three-minute episode with an ending animation. The campaign currently stands at 6.6 million yen with the end goal being an eight-minute episode, which would include both an opening and ending at 15 million yen (approximately US$138,000). Shogakukan launched the campaign on the Makuake website on Sunday last week, and it will end on April 25, 2018. The story centers on Astra Ludger Doomsday, a 35-year-old former captain of the royal knights who retired early and used his savings to acquire his very own house. However, not long after beginning his peaceful life, a young girl crashes into his house. The girl named Noah, is an apprentice witch, and mistakes Astra for the evil God.

| Awesome, read the beginning of this and it seemed really my type. Great to see this happening! |
 |
| OH YEAH! been hearing about this crowdfunding for a year, such a good & cute story, too bad its only 8-minute episode. hope this will be great. |
 |
| That moment when the crowdfunding must take place for an anime adaptation. |
 |
| If this doesn't feature at least one Bon Jovi reference I'll be mighty disappointed... :^) |
| Hopefully they can make it at least a 12 minute series. Astra Ludger Doomsday: Tetsu Inada (Ojisan to Marshmallow) when the crowdfunding news came some out some montgs ago he's my top pick to voice Astra. Antagonized said: As long as they get a decent staff and not a 3 minute series. I'll settle with that. Hopefully the crowdfunding succeeds though. Well fuck. |

| Okay, 46k in USD should not equal to only 3 min. You got Nekopara who's initial goal was 100k USD, for 20 minutes. |
 |
| Wait that short? You would think maybe it would try for 24 min. Like a pilot episode and then go from there but this? I hope it succeeds but this is really worrisome. Almost seems like an expensive advertisement for the source material. Also after watching the PV, it looks really bland O.o |
 |
| Synopsis seems quite "FUN" Might as well try |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| It's a good song, but I don't quite understand how you're supposed to get an anime out of it. |
 |
| Oooh, I’ve read some chapters, it was pretty interesting |
| looks like garbage fantasy setting |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| It was now or never, thankk God the anime adaptation is coming out. It's gonna live forever. |
| Around the gif~ "It's a big mistake to think you're the only one who can turn into a car" - Shiori Takatsuki |
| The picture reminds me of Somali to Mori no Kamisama and the synopsis is quite similar too in a way. I'm not impressed with the PV so I guess I'll just read it. |
 |
| I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone |
     |
| Look cute but already know this trash content from a mile away. Glad shit can get crowdfunded like this though. Impressive on that feat. |
 |
| Crowdfunded huh. That's neat. Reminds me of Under the Dog. Hopefully this doesn't turn out like that. |
 |
| This actually looks rather nice ^^ |
| Is it to much to ask that maybe we might get a full tv series after this? if the interest is their maybe they should. it is a good Slice of life series that makes u feel good. |
| It looks fun but with only 3 minutes...meh. |
| perfect promotional anime from crowd funding, nice. now it's time for me to read it again |
 |
| Just 3mins reaching that goal? meh. |
 |
| OMG fuck yes! I have been waiting fo this! |
| Looks really cute but the setting looks like a generic fantasy. I haven't read the source material but given the low crowdfunding goal, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a minimalist short. I hope at least it's funny enough to hold my attention. |
| Honestly, I think if a proper studio can get their hands on this project, they can make it at least into a 1-cour adaptation. |
 |
| I enjoy reading the manga, but releases take forever to come out. I would absolutely love to see Noa's true identity and power. Swagernator said: That moment when the crowdfunding must take place for an anime adaptation. Rarely do viewers have a chance to directly effect the fate of an adaptation, and indeed for a studio to put forth the resources needed to make such a work. This sort of crowd funding I would actually put money into. |
| crowdfunded but they couldnt add an english sub for pv thx but no thx |
vladiemoose said: 40 thousand dollars for 6 minutes? holy f--k Animation is expensive, very expensive. |
Why do they need to? |
|
| I haven't read much of this, but I am still excited about it! What I read was funny and charming and I would gladly read more of it! |

| IT'S NOW OR NEVER, I AIN'T GONNA LIVE FOREVER |
