CATDOLL: The crowdfunding campaign for the new work "CHIKA☆CHIKA IDOL" directed by "Magic Index" failed

Anime Star previously reported that the crowdfunding campaign for "CHIKA☆CHIKA IDOL", a new animation project by "A Certain Magical Index" director Hiroshi Nishigori, had little success and the results were not ideal. Recently, the crowdfunding campaign has ended and the official also announced the failure of the campaign.

The official information released in response to this is: The crowdfunding campaign for "CHIKA☆CHIKA IDOL" has now ended. The results on makuake are 5.38 million yen and 276 people; the results on Kickstarter are about 2.58 million yen and 219 people. The total amount is 7.96 million yen and 495 people. Now we really have mixed feelings. But rather than being disappointed, I am more grateful to everyone.

To be honest, regarding this crowdfunding campaign, the official wants to use this event more to promote the animation. Unfortunately, in this era when idol debuts are rampant, the audience will not buy into settings that are not original and eye-catching. I hope the supervisor can recognize the general reality. Should he consider making "Magic Index III"?
