I was such a big fan of Yoyo & Nene when it was shown at SLA 2013. If it weren't for Patema Inverted, it would have been my outright favourite that year.
Or maybe or The Life of Budori Gusko.
No. Never again. Ever.

Was interested in the Kickstarter then saw it was a digibook.... no thanks.
Best of luck though and if you add another tier with one of your regular collectors editions I'm all over it
Edit. The digibook is only 8 pages!? With more pages being a stretch goal along with French subs? (Inevitably causing a delay)
Gotta say this doesn't seem like a very 'Anime Limited' style product... kinda disappointing.

We've mentioned this on the Kickstarter page, but to reiterate here this is not an Anime Limited product. We're supporting STUDIO4°C by running the Kickstarter part of their campaign for MIND GAME, but this is their product, not ours. So it won't have any of our branding on it at all. Hope that helps.
I'll be polite about it: it was f***ing awful.Was The Life of Budori Genki that bad?!
Seriously, Budori Gusko was the most beatufully animated, gorgeous-looking 2-hour bore you could imagine. Budori himself is the most bland main character I think I've ever watched. If I'd had to hear him say "Yes", and mindlessly agree with other characters just one more time...
This review hilariously summed up the whole film in only a few short lines [CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS]:
Supernatural cat: I'm here to save you from famine. You're good kids, but that won't help you. Hey girl, if you stay here, you'll starve. Come with me.
(Budori's sister goes to him, seemingly in a trance.)
Supernatural cat: Well, bye! (vanishes)
Budori: ...Hey! You thief!
Budori: (Alone in his room) Other people have helped me all my life. Now I want to help them back. I'll do anything.
Supernatural Cat: You called?
Budori: No.
Supernatural Cat: I can take you to the volcano.
Budori: Can I make it erupt?
Supernatural Cat: I dunno.
Budori: If I can make it erupt by giving up my life, I'll do it!
Supernatural Cat: Ok, here we go!

Honestly, the film would work best as an art book: the backgrounds are genuine works of art. Scotland Loves Anime 2013 was the stuff of legend for me as an event, though, so I still enjoyed it in its own way.
But I wouldn't feel so "genki" about the prospect of ever seeing the film again.

I'm kinda torn. Really want to buy it but £43 for a film I've not even seen? That's steep.

As far as you know (I won't hold you to this
), will there ever be an AL branded release, or is this our only opportunity to own a release?

As far as you know (I won't hold you to this
I know this doesn't answer your question exactly, but with there being a standard retail edition I can't imagine there will be
"Will this release be available through retailers after the Kickstarter?
Yes - is the short answer! It will be available to buy via retailers after the Kickstarter run and only after the Kickstarter backers have received their copies. This Kickstarter gives you the chance to own this film way ahead of everyone else! Plus, the exclusive art cards and stickers are only for crowdfunding backers!"

Thanks, but I was really trying to indirectly ask if a less expensive standard edition may eventually become available.
Ferensviel
Dandy Guy, in Space
Ahhh okay yeah I see what you mean, I'd assumed it would be like Mai Mai Miracle with the collectors edition being exclusive to backers, but reading it properly it's just the stickers/art cards that are exclusive.

Depends on what the Japanese studio wants to do. They are controlling the production of the package, and setting the price.
I don't think Mind Game would sell enough to justify a standard personally.

Cardcaptor
Yeah I mentioned this to them elsewhere and it seems to be fixed now.
Anyway, I'm somewhat interested but I'm not a fan of the packaging at all, especially for the money being asked. So yeah, I'll be passing for now but may change my mind closer to the deadline.
