Post Kickstarter Analysis of The Grisaia Trilogy Campaign

Marcus Estrada writes: "The Grisaia Trilogy is a series of three visual novels (The Fruit of Grisaia, The Labyrinth of Grisaia, The Eden of Grisaia) which have proved immensely popular in Japan. Theyve released on Vita, PC, and even seen a spin-off game and anime series. In all, things are looking great for Grisaia. Its recent Kickstarter campaign also seemed to have everything going for it as both a strong brand backed by the always-successful crowdfunding publisher Sekai Project. Things started off great with the campaign being fully funded in under 24 hours and the march to dominate all stretch goals seemed easy as can be. Unfortunately, early on Kickstarter chose to remove higher-dollar pledges because they promised a dakimakura (pillow cover) featuring one of the anime characters in a state of undress. In many ways this shakeup seemed to haunt the Kickstarter through the rest of its run."
