Hi all, I'm just a tourist passing by on account of the news, but I was wondering if your fan community has considered the following:
You could try organizing a crowdfunding campaign to negotiate buying or licensing the character rights from the company and let Gawr Gura continue as an independent.
That is, of course, assuming the person behind the character is interested in such an arrangement and wouldn't rather retire or transition into a new character.
I'm also assuming such a deal is possible to begin with. I don't know if the company would even be willing to negotiate.
Just an idea.
If you know of any reason why it wouldn't be possible, please share. I'm curious about it.
