“Zunda Horizon” Kickstarter Includes English Subs Goal!

While a previous crowdfunding effort was announced last month, there’s now a special English language crowdfunding effort for Zunda Horizon as well! The Zunda Horizon Kickstarter is extra special, as one of its goals includes English subtitles! If the campaign succeeds, fans will have an English subbed version of Zunda Horizon!

What is Zunda Horizon?

Zunda Horizon is a 30-minute anime produced as a joint effort between Wao! World, Studio Live, and Zunko’s promotional company SSS LLC. Part of a four-series lineup of the “Anime Tamago 2017” project, it is the first anime musical that incorporates singing synthesis software such as VOCALOID and UTAU. The AH-Software VOCALOID and Zunda Horizon’s main character, Tohoku Zunko, sings using her VOCALOID software, while the rest of the cast sings using UTAU.

If you haven’t seen Zunda Horizon yet, there are official videos available on YouTube and niconico. However, you need to be quick! They won’t be up for much longer.
