People said "This is impossible, are you insane?!", "Hahaha, as if, it will never reach the stretch goals!", ">kickstarter, >VN, >muv-luv". To that people, there's just one thing to say: WE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE, WE BROKE THE UNBREAKABLE row row fight the powaWe achieved what was previously the last stretch goal. This by itself was just amazing, incredible, awesome. But then, a last challenge rose from the shadows: Operation Cherry Blossom has begun. Everyone who has read Muv-Luv Alternative knew that that operation is impossible; it's just an ephemeral dream. BUT, as I said before, we did the IMPOSSIBLE, we broke what before were UNBREAKABLE walls. WE. DID. IT. Now, a normal Eishi would say "Mission accomplished, we can go home now". Yeah, indeed, the mission was done, we could go home, there's nothing else to do. Hehehe, as if. WHO said we are NORMAL Eishi? We want more. We want blood. WE WANT MORE BETA'S HEAD. WE ARE NOT ENTERTAINED YET. The remaining Eishis, with their awesome Raptors and Takemikazuchis, went to the world above. For them, sky isn't a limitation. They can go above and beyong. For them, everything is possible, and they know it. After all, WHO THEY THINK WE ARE?! Against all expectations, surpassing even the most optimistic forecast, we hit a simbolic mark: We could have stopped here. It is enough already. But, why stop here? We can do better. And we did. Still not satisfied, we went ahead, using every last bit of energy. At the end, when indeed we used every bit of our power, rest was now allowed. Now, collecting the spoils of war, the final number is the amazing amount of $1.25 MILLION DOLLARS!!!
Celebrate, O brave warriors, celebrate! Because this victory is ours!
*Ahem* Now that the Kickstarter was finished, in addiction to the page of the project, there are other useful places that you can go to read news, interact with the community and other things. Here are some of them:

Haha, you beat me to it!
So for anyone unfamiliar, Muv-Luv is a trilogy of visual novels(delivered in two games), the third of which is the highest rated visual novel on VNDB. It's has a fan translation for years, but this release will be improving upon that, overhauling the engine for Windows 8+ compatibility, upgrading the art assets to a higher resolution, and other various improvements.
The story is one that changes from novel to novel, starting as a fairly standard high school harem romance/comedy, but then changing into a mecha comedy, and finally into an epic mecha action/drama that is possibly the best mecha story I've encountered in any medium. If you haven't read any visual novels, this is not a bad place to start, and if you do read them but haven't read this, then you are missing out.
Anyway, I'm hoping this does well, because I really want Photon Melodies/Flowers to get translated. Amusingly, I'm starting off at a lower pledge than I initially planned($300) because the model kit tiers are limited, while the jacket is not. I may upgrade later or add the jacket as an add-on later.

All right.... well, I'm intrigued. I just ordered the original series and Unlimited off of Amazon Japan.
Which one is the third series? There appears to be one on-going...

The main series consists of Muv-Luv(which contains Extra and Unlimited) and Muv-Luv Alternative. There are a fair number of side stories as well. Keep in mind that if you ordered it from Amazon, it's going to be in Japanese. You can get a translation patch for it, but the Kickstarter version will be the better way to go if you have the patience to wait until March.

Dang, not even a day and it's almost reached its goal! This certainly seems like a successful kickstarter

And IT'S FUNDED!
Damn, that was fast. Next month I'll drop 1$ or something just to get the BackerKit, maybe late this year 80$ will be acessible...

I'd be very shocked if they could patch books. But fortunately either way, I read Japanese.

It's already funded and it still has 39 days to go. It'll probably surpass 2 million at this rate.
Man, I want a kickstarter for the Type-Moon VNs.

I see that they've expanded some of the limited tiers, which is probably a good thing given how quickly they filled up.
They're currently at $320k... it's got pretty good steam! At this rate, I'd say their 700k stretch goal is reachable. The question will be how they adjust if it gets even more (which again, at this rate, seems likely...).

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to be confusing. I do understand that it's a visual novel. There have been manga adaptations, however, and it's those books that I purchased (well, the first two groups). I'll look forward to enjoying the translated visual novel product of the Kickstarter when it eventually comes out, but in the meantime, I might as well enjoy a manga adaptation of the original!

I'm on the BackerKit tier right now, but I'll up my pledge if it looks like we may not reach the Vita stretch goal. If this doesn't come to the Vita, that would be downright criminal!

Muv-luv is one of the few Visual novels I told myself I would try relatively soon, like as in my top 3 short list... news to me it's the highest rated though, I'm pretty sure it wasn't when I decided thus.
That said I also want to see baldr sky and Mashiroiro symphony done. qq

They're currently just a hair short of $400k at the moment (that's after three days). Kicktraq is showing them at $166 average per backer, which is pretty incredible.I'm sure that will drop as the upper limited tiers close out, but still...
