Ooooh, lots of new things, exciting!
When I first saw this year's design I kinda didn't register it as such since it's so early in the year! Reminds me a whole lot of Ohedo Julia Night after being performed just recently lol While I like it, in my opinion, they went a bit overboard with the colors (Also, I am the only getting tired of Miku having pink streaks in her hair...? It added a nice 'wow!' like Magical Mirai 2017 at first but I dunno, I also liker her perfectly teal hair! It's happening so often now.)
I'm looking forward to the winter design and I hope we get matching outfits for the rest of the Cryptonloids like last year's Magical Mirai, it the best decision they had! Seeing all the different (not so matching always) designs for Snow Miku really made me yearn they just decided on a single outfit for them
I guess it's not the crowdfunding aspect that puts me off? But rather that when Crypton pays attention to Meiko and Kaito it comes with strings, it feels especially unfair at this point - rather than finishing their main line of character in whatever scenario Crypton always goes for alternative Mikus - which isn't a bad thing but it happens so often that it has become stale at this point.
In any case, I hope it's easy for foreigners to contribute because I want to help make it happen and have seen many english speaking fans feel the same.
Regarding having Magical Mirai twice a year: I guess I'm in the same boat that having it only once a year makes it more special. Then, I can't help but to also think about the team and all the work that goes behind it, they also deserve to rest. It could affect international concerts or at least for people that try to go as many as they can and like other people mentioned the blu-ray releases, everything would sort of be clumped together.
So, yeah, since this is an exception for the Olympics hopefully it's kept that way. If anything, have a rotation for some winter Magical Mirais every couple of years for the people that can't go during summer? But honestly Snow Miku sort of fills that void in the winter season.

Well, technically Rin and Len got their first one in 2017 which I consider their 10th anniversary year. I feel they went with that idea in mind when finally making them so they could have it before their birthday happened. I do know their 10th anniversary was properly celebrated in 2018 but I get why they wouldn't make another so soon, especially how long it took just for one.AND not even Rin/Len/Luka got an original new figure for their anniversaries at Mirai, were just figures they already had! So yeah probably it's just that.
