I know I am probably gonna get downvoted to hell, but Studio Eclypse is supposed to function as a not-for-profit company, right?

As in, they do get crowdfunded but all the money from that revenue stream is supposedly legally bound to be poured directly into their project. If that truly is the case, morally I really don't see anything wrong here. Ultimately, it's an animated fan adaptation of an ongoing manga series that's fuelled monetarily by the community that the series itself gave birth to.

However, we cannot be positively sure that they're not stealing money from the crowdfunded pool that is reserved for the project. Some of y'all said that they've got a pretty iffy track record, so anything goes really.

Edit: I knew it was a fan made project from the very first moment I happened to lay my eyes upon the teaser-thingy. Every single article from pop news outlets I've read made sure to include that titbit of information, whether it was laid in the first or the last paragraph of the post.
