FUNDING PERIOD IS OVER Would like to thank all of the fans who believe in the creative vision. The studio system would never consider bringing a project like this to life so it helps when we as random people, without some L.A. socialite uncle, vote with our cash and sweat equity to bring originality back into the lexicon.
I like how this feels like a genuine kickstarter, no bullshit, no weird merch, just "here's an idea, wanna see it happen? Pay me to hire people. Want it longer, pay me more so I can hire/pay people more." Its straight forward.
And that's exactly why I believe they can actually pull it off, unlike some other dubious kickstarters this one is aiming towards a realistic and achievable goal, 35K also seems to be just right so it shouldn't be underfunded
@@wauwau1 And previous, low-quality animation Kickstarters had animation goals of 80k for a _full series,_ which is impossibly low for a high-quality animation. 250k for a pilot-level piece, could reasonably cause this to be good enough to get picked up by a full-fledged media company.
I want two good seasons, a middling one that feels like filler, a fourth one that´s really good but makes people start wondering how everyone´s still in high school, a fifth one where things start to get stale and it´s obvious the idea is to keep them in high school forever, a Spring Break special movie that is pretty Okay, funkopops, more youtube video essays than RWBY ever got, Left 4 Dead 2 character mods, and a SHIT, GOD-AWFUL, TEAR-MY-EYES-OUT live-action Netflix adaptation that pretty much removes all bite out of the original, makes every youtube essay maker compare it to shitty anime adaptations like Death Note, and KILLS THE FRANCHISE.
I want this to be a series so fucking bad, i haven't laughed in while until i saw a playthrough of it and couldn't stop laughing. Hope you guys reach 250k for a full episode!
i stg we live in the era of indie gaming and development overall, i think most people have gotten tired of the miraculous garbage piles that AAA studios can put up for 70$ with a guaranteed profit.
I'll try to donate next paycheck. I really would like to see this develop into its own show like Hazbin, TADC, and all the other sick independent animation we have on RU-vid rn. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in making your dreams come true.
If it does get picked up by some studio, I hope it doesn't get censored into oblivion. For some reason, I have a feeling not many will be willing to let the writers show the main character bully a bulimic girl into relapsing. Or a bully nerd to become a shooter. Or enter a suicide pact. Or do all her mom's medication, causing her to have a heart attack and die because her heart medication's currently in the nasal cavity of her daughter's best (only) friend
Bought a bunch of copies of both games, for my friends, and I guess I'll actually back a Kickstarter for the first time in my life. This series definitely has potential to be a renegade in the modern garbage zeitgeist that is the current day American entertainment industry, and I really hope this succeeds, Mr. SBN3. Best of luck to everyone involved now, and in the future!
It's funny that you said that as it seems almost exactly like the current American entertainment zeitgeist. The humor and style and underlining mentality doesn't seem very Dissident or unique at all. Even the way the girls talk is soooooo fucking basic.
Me and my friends have been quoting the Batman Beyond series for years, and when I saw clips of this game circulating, I could immediately tell who wrote it. You're a fucking genius man, and this is going to be the first Kickstarter I have ever donated to.
@@konpeitojellieWe hit the 11 Minute pilot stretch goal around 3 months ago but I can’t find anything to suggest we hit the budget for a new class of 09 game or the 30 minute pilot.
Its weird seeing a kickstarter thats prices and goals are actually realistic. Usually kickstarters overpromise like "100,000 and we will make an entire season of a show!", and he really just gave the facts of how much and how long it will realistically be.
I love independent animation and class of '09 the re-up. That game has sharp writing with a heart that's not just offensive for offensive's sake. I'd love to see an anime that shows the real stuff in American high schools. I want a full series.
oh man, it would be awesome if this got a full pilot and then got picked up by a studio to make a full show. hopefully not 4Kids though. "please give me a fry" *fry is changed to lollipop because fries are unhealthy* and then *in the background Jeffrey is heard spraying people with water guns*
At first i thought this was a guy who wanted to make Class of '09 an anime but then I realized his ass MADE THE GAME LMFAOOO. This has been the funniest shit I've seen in a while and kudos to you for that. I shall support you as much as I can to see this dream become a reality 😊
I've been watching you since the first taste closed back in the day, I didn't think it was possible for your writing to get even tighter but you really improve every time it's insane. Supporting you for this and hope to see you hit that half hour pilot goal.
Genuinely such a good pitch. I love how SBN3 doesn’t try to make it look good. (And doesn’t need to since it is that good). No phony shit, just straight up “i need money so i can make this.” Then he really hits the nail on the head with, “say you’re absolutely psychotic, your therapist is really sick of hearing about this Class of ‘09.” I love the optimism and honesty at the end, “this may not be the best anime, but it will be the realest.” Optimism, honesty, and accurate depictions of our society are exactly what we need. Thank you, SBN3. From the bottom of our hearts.
2009 was just just 14 years ago...and yet that time already seems like a different world. Yet somehow this series manages to perfectly capture that time. Gladly gave to the Kickstarter and both both games for me and my friend.
I always make sure to credit when I share your stuff man. You've been making absolute bangers and Taste Closed has some of the best back and forth in any series on this site. Your comedy chops are staggering my guy.
i am a broke highschooler so i unfortunately can’t donate but i really hope u get the donations you need!!! i’m a huge fan of the game + short and i think this will turn out super great. hope you’re able to reach the goal!
I'm just glad Class of 09 isn't going for the modern anime like style you see with shows like Castlevania, Legend of korra and voltron and Kevin smith's heman that style is getting way too played out This is refereshing to see a show look like actual anime
Oh this is based. I really hope we get the cop scene animated or maybe thr scene where Jecka snorts a line of beta blocker and freaks the f out. My fave 2 scenes
Keep up the great work, I knew when I saw that anime short it's something truly special, and I just had to get the VN bundle on steam too. As someone who was alive during that time period, that game really really slaps
I wish this kickstarter good luck! and think a anime would pretty good i watch both games and seen all endings, ive never gone through a game with lots of routes for ages and i forgot how fun they were but this game reminded me again! I live the unique routes and just how unique this game vibe is like its so chaotic but addicting to play its perfect💫 which is why a anime would be brilliant! i hope half an hour goal can be done if not any goal, praying it succeeds please give it a chance people we got a good sample here already we need more🙏
Holy shit, I’m so happy I found the creator of this FUCKING MASTERPIECE! I saw the gameplay like last month and I’ve been watching EVERY route and ending for the game. It’s so goddamn good. I seriously truly hope this kickstarter gets funded. ❤❤
I don't have money, but I do have fingers, fingers that can type in the comments. Hopefully the algorithm will see this and recommend this to people who do have money, and will support this! :>
Fucking "ghost stories" levels of legendary shit going on here. I just binged the first one. Now binging the re up. Nicole is viciousness given human form holy shit
I discovered this series recently and wish that I had donated. Independent animation is so good lately and I need many seasons of this show. I genuinely would have thrown like $100 at it.
wait so let me get this straight. You rushed out the Flipside to put your full attention on the anime? Is that why you gave the class of 09 bad emotional endings? To get fans wanting mor- Oh my god.. that’s why you gave the Flipside crappy and emotionally draining endings. You want people to get attracted to the anime.. that’s kinda evil. Did all the comedic elements go into the anime too?
No wonder this was such a funny game, I had no idea you made it. The batman beyond videos are still some of my favorite and I get parts from taste closed on reels all the time, of course no one knows that they are from you which is lame. Good shit and good luck!
If there is going to be more I’d think it’d be funny if Nicole or someone else does a 4th wall break and mentions how uncool or gross it is to be in an anime.
