Hello everyone, I would like to start off by saying we had a blast at O-Conn, meet some great people and fans there, the entire crew was on hand for the first time in a convention lol, hopefully it’ll be like that at Oni-Con 3. On a side note, Alfred, our Director of Public Relations; will be leaving us soon, he plans on moving to Arkansas later on this month, we will surly miss him, even though he is not leaving the crew, having him in Austin is much closer than Arkansas lol. We hope to see him at Oni-Con 3 later this year.
Now for the biggest update in a while, as you all know our hard drive containing all of our source files and new prototypes of new episodes crashed late last year, just before Oni-Con 2, and the first company I sent to was not able to retrieve any files, so I have had the drive sent back to me, and now its at the hands of a recommended data recovery facility by Western Digital; the turn-around was swift with a complete analysis of what’s wrong with the Drive.
In order to repair the drive and begin the recovery of the data will cost an estimated $2,150.00, this is truly expensive. I do not have the money to repair this drive, I told the crew if we cannot afford or even get that data back, it will be THE END of Anime Fun TV; reason why? One of the biggest reasons, is this drive contained almost the entire library of AMV’s and Adobe Premiere files needed for the show, including our logo, show templates, and even our DVD Covers for the show, meaning we cannot make anymore DVD’s of the show for you enjoy. This also includes limited personal files.
We deeply need everyone’s help in this, I am in a total bind to either keep the show going, or just let drop; It will be up to you, the fans, to decide.
Please help us by donating; we honestly need the funds to repair this drive. If not, I have not other choice but to finally hang my hat on this project.
I have the quotation online for everyone to see this is not a joke, but a reality.
