Help us create the best release of Patema Inverted possible!

Patema Inverted was released in 2013 and, before it even hit Japanese cinemas, it had already won the Judges AND Audience awards at Scotland Loves Anime and been screened out of competition at Annecy. A winning trend that has continued with it's winning an Excellence Award in the Japanese Media Arts festival this year.

Directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, director of the acclaimed Time of Eve, and Pale Cocoon, Patema Inverted is a rare gem that's a pleasure to watch both on the big and small screens. With much critical acclaim, Patema Inverted will be released worldwide for home video.

For a film of this high quality - both visually and narratively - there are so many ways to create a deluxe edition. This Kickstarter campaign will allow us to go above and beyond even our usual quality in order to give fans in the UK the definitive edition of the film - a cut above even our normal high quality of release!

In short - this campaign will allow us to arrange and package Patema Inverted in the best possible way, which would not usually be commercially viable. It will also give YOU the chance to own the title before it hits general retail!

Unlike our previous Kickstarter, this isn't a plea to help get an unnoticed or commercially difficult film to market. Instead, we're trying to create a new breed of product that goes above and beyond even our regular collector's format.

The main risk of doing this, is that this kind of release would be simply beyond what is reasonable to just "put up on Amazon and see if it works". Our aspirations for this title go well beyond that.

If we were to release the definitive edition normally, i.e. via Amazon or other retailers immediately, the cost of the release would need to be about £84.99. That is simply too high, especially if we want to get this edition into the hands of as many fans as possible at a reasonable price point!

That's why we are proposing a 1,500 unit print run, every edition numbered, exclusive to Kickstarter with any remaining units leftover to be sold at a higher price via retail at a later date (SRP of £84.99).

In addition, we're trialling a new model of release that means if you support the Kickstarter for the amaray or regular collector's combi-packs, you'll get it before it hits retailers!

So, if you support our attempt to make a cool release early you get your copy early!

#1: DIGITAL REWARDS:
While you can expect some beautiful wallpapers arranged by our in-house artist, the key digital extras to note are the digital booklet and the video extras.

We went out of our way to create a bunch of extras for Patema Inverted including some very neat press notes made up by the ever-talented Jonathan Clements. They will be made available as a bonus to Kickstarter backers pledging from £10 upwards.

In terms of video extras, we have 30 minutes of bonus material recorded in London that we'll be sharing directly with backers! We're looking to include it on the home video too of course.

#2 REGULAR AMARAY COMBI-PACK:
This one is self explanatory really - it's an amaray combi-pack with Blu-Ray and DVD and a reversible clean cover! We'll ship out a Kickstarter exclusive postcard using our quad poster artwork too.

Kickstarter backers will get this before it hits retailers like Amazon, Play, Zavvi etc.
Retail price: £24.99

#3 Collector's Edition
People should be no strangers to the Anime Limited release model now - our Collector's edition for the film mirrors that of the Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning one - which is to say:

• Rigid slipcase
• DVD + BD combi in digipack
• 48 page booklet included: We'll be translating the booklet in the Japanese Collector's edition.

Kickstarter backers will get this before it hits retailers like Amazon, Play, Zavvi etc.
Retail price: £34.99

#4 Ultimate Edition
This is our crowning achievement - we've actually gone and licensed the official design works, which allows us to create an Ultimate Edition of the film. That's not all though, below is a list of what you get in this edition:

• Ultimate Edition box, with custom digipack to hold the DVD and Blu-Ray and any other goodies produced as part of the Kickstarter.
• A numbered art card certifying the release.
• The visual fan guide (full of art, settings & design notes) - translated into English for the first time.
• A replica of Lagos' letter from Patema Inverted (it's spoilery so we can't tell you more now ).
• Collector's edition of the BD/DVD

Some of the stretch goals will probably centre around adding more to this as well - so watch this space!

If there are any units of the Ultimate Edition remaining after all Kickstarter orders are fulfilled, the remainders will be made available on our online store only after backers receive their copies.
Suggested Retail Price: £84.99

Good question! We're already a good way into production including the dub with NYAV Post so we're aiming for Kickstarter backers to get their copies by the end of September - namely under a year after it screened in the UK first!
