The Kickstarter campaign was launched on July 18^th, at 6:30 pm, by Lucca Comics & Games to allow all Yoshitaka Amano fans to actively participate in the largest and most complete exhibition ever dedicated to Sensei in the West. 

In less than 3 hours from the publication, the initiative has reached the fixed goal and exceeded it in the following hours thanks to the participation of more than 300 people who have showed their passion for Sensei, creator of contemporary mythologies. 

Fans are anticipating the first retrospective which celebrates the 50-years career of the visionary artist between anime and videogames: Amano Corpus Animae, scheduled from November 13^th, 2024, to March 1^st, 2025, at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan. 

Among the several propositions of the campaign, the most attractive one is the possibility to visit the exhibition accompanied by the Japanese artist in person. Also, Fan Tickets – daily open tickets for Lucca Comics & Games, where Sensei Amano will be present. These tickets allow fans to take part in the event in any of the five days, in addition to giving them access to the exhibition in Milan. Finally, fans will be able to leave a mark on History by adding their name on the Backers Wall, placed at the beginning of the exhibition, where the names of those who supported Sensei’s first exhibition in Europe will appear. 

By joining the campaign, it will be possible to fully enter the community of “super fans" of Sensei Yoshitaka Amano on the occasion of his first exhibition in Europe. With a unique formula for an art exhibition, the initiative is going to last until August 9^th: the objective of the campaign is not linked to the funding of the exhibition – which will be funded by Lucca Crea – but it aims to allow everyone, included those who will not be able to be present in Milan, to take part in this great exhibition dedicated to Sensei Amano and leave their name in History.

There are a lot of propositions for the occasion which are still available on the Kickstarter platform. As aforementioned, among the most exclusive propositions there is the possibility to purchase a daily open ticket for Lucca Comics & Games. For the first time, it will allow fans to visit the international fair on any day from October 30^th to November 3^rd. 

There are just 7.000 open tickets available. After August 9^th, at the closure of the Kickstarter campaign, this type of ticket will not be released anymore. 

Among the several propositions, there will also be limited edition and deluxe edition autographed art prints, and other surprises to discover by participating in the Kickstarter campaign.
