And the "very important announcement" teased in the trailer is confirmed as a crowdfunding 

project for the sixth episode now being held at MotionGallery. The project's target is to raise at

least 4,000,000 yen (about 35,264 US dollars) to produce the new episode, and it is scheduled

to be finished by December 22, 2017, 60 days from today.

The length of the episode will be decided by the amount of the donated money, from 20-30 seconds

(4-5 million yen) to 60-70 seconds (6.01-7 million yen). Investors will be able to join the production

process as producer who has the privilege to receive various production reports and materials, to

provide their opinions on character designs and voice cast, and to attend the voice recording session

and premiere screening. If the project reaches its goal, the sixth episode will be posted on the web

in early March of 2018. Learn more about the project with the two PR videos below.
