The Latest Narrow Escape

krpalmerAfter three successful pledge drives on the streaming-and-crowdfunding site Anime Sols for the series Creamy Mami, I had supposed the fourth and final set would have a fairly easy time getting funded. After all, the site had even sent out the DVDs for the first set and proved there are results available (although it then had to send out replacement discs for one DVD with malfunctioning subtitles). However, as the deadline got closer and closer and the set was still thousands of dollars short, I started to worry, and also contemplated how there had been a special (American) Thanksgiving deal for the third pledge drive, where every pledge would count for two pledges, and whether this might have let a few people drop out of the grind.
Things started to pick up in the very last days, though, and I even got to the point of increasing my own pledge to the point of a "get your name on the DVD" promise. With hours left, the set reached its goal, and now I just have to wonder about the final Dear Brother set. It gets nervewracking, and it also gets expensive. There's also the little wrinkle that I haven't actually gotten over the name (and the thought that least other people want it more than I do) and watched any of Creamy Mami yet; it at least seems possible I won't be left in the middle, though.
