Over the last year, there's been a rash of Kickstarter projects to fund manga licenses in the US and produce an original anime in Japan. It's a great thing -- companies get the financial assurance that their project, and fans get to have a direct involvement in actualizing the things they want.
What we're in the midst of is a fundamental change of the industry and a new way for companies to survive and thrive.
Follow me after the jump where we'll detail just what Kickstarter means for the industry, how that will affect what projects we see in the future, and how you can be involved with the whole process.
