Having gotten two projects off the ground recently with Black Jack and Creamy Mami, Anime Sols has kicked off a new series this week that will be appealing to many with Dear Brother. The series is known among many circles as Onii-sama e… and ran for 39 episodes back in 1991-1992 as a popular series based on the manga of the same name by Ryoko Ikeda which was originally published in 1975. Anime Sols will be streaming it with the first episode already live and will be adding new episodes every Friday. They first set that they’re wanting to produce will be for the first thirteen episodes on DVD for a total funding price of $13,000. Pledge support has a number of titlers with the DVD box itself being a bit cheaper this time than previous ones at $30. A 4250 pledge will net you a signed original illustration though, which will be tempting for many.
