What You Need to Know:
- In Shima City, Mie Prefecture, a crowdfunding has started for the creation of an anime PV featuring Megu Aoshima, a character made in 2014 to help promote the area.
- After her character was released, many commented that her character was too "sexualized" and "insults female divers." However, the character design remains unchanged, and has even won second place in the Moe-characters (prefecturual representatives) Gran Prix 2016 last October.
- They plan to release a 30-second PV featuring Ise Shima, with the voice actress and music featuring local people. Will they achieve their goal of 4 million yen?
Crowdfunding Ongoing!

30 SECONDS? That's TOO SHORT!
Voice actress will most likely be Mikako Komatsu.
I applaud Mie for promoting voice actors as well.
She's not bad. Really sexy!
30 seconds? Really?
30 seconds... isn't it a bit short? Hope they succeed though! Mie is such a beautiful place!
Yeah but for an ad it's not really. But! She's too cute so 30 seconds would be short for me!!!!
