Ai Kikaku Center Prepares Official VOD for Manga Nippon Mukashi Banashi
The company says all revenue from the service will fund digitization of the 1467-episode series, with no launch date or pricing yet disclosed.
Ai Kikaku Center announced it is preparing an official VOD service for the anime series Manga Nippon Mukashi Banashi, according to news.denfaminicogamer.jp. The company said all revenue from the service will go toward digitizing the works.
The series totals 1467 episodes, and its original films and tapes are still stored in good condition. Only part of the series has been digitized so far; preserving the remaining 1000-plus episodes is said to require enormous time and cost. Some digitized episodes are already published on the official YouTube channel.
The company is also soliciting viewer opinions on what the service should offer and on future initiatives. An official online store for goods is being prepared as well.
Ai Kikaku Center said the next event has been decided, following calls for events across Japan after one held at Azabudai Hills. Details such as the VOD service's start date, pricing and lineup have not been disclosed.
