Last week, AUKN&rsquo;s Ian Wolf reported that American anime distributor AnimEigo had launched a Kickstarter campaign for a release of <em>Otaku no Video</em> and today, AnimeEigo has seen its Kickstarter for <em>Otaku no Video</em> achieve its goal with 22 days to go!



The AnimeEigo campaign to release <em>Otaku no Video</em> reached its goal of $40,000 in 13.5 hours of its launch. With the success of the campaign the Cover Up(grade) stretch goal has been changed from 1982 backers to 999 backers and the four-page Mini Manga stretch goal from 3967 to 1982 backers while more stretch goals are promised.

Following this success AnimeEigo has also announced they would launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund a "High Octane Edition" of <em>Riding Bean</em> later this Summer. AUKN forumites may be familiar with Riding Bean because it was aired a number of times by the Sci-Fi channel back when it was once a source of anime.



&nbsp;Here&rsquo;s the story:

<em>Underworld deliveryman-for-hire Bean Bandit and his sidekick Rally Vincent are given the task of rescuing a girl from kidnappers and transporting her to safety in Bean&rsquo;s notorious car the Road Buster. Unfortunately Bean and Vincent have been double-crossed by their would-be clients so run the risk of not only losing the cash but falling foul of the highway police and the kidnappers themselves.</em>

Here&rsquo;s a review of a release put out by MVM films from 2006.
