Ok, we could not believe it, but we found a comment on Twitter by Hideo Kojima, about MGS: Philanthropy.
A fan asked him if he had watched the movie, and his reply is really… Well, you can read it here (on official Hideo Kojima’s Twitter).
Here’s a screenshot of the message and its translation (thanks to Ash Volf for translating this into English).

RT @BookishBoy: @Kojima_Hideo I know this must be asking too much, but did you see “MGS Philanthropy”?
Of course I did. It’s awesome. I felt like crying for their love towards Metal Gear. It’s also a well made movie. I can’t wait to see next part.
What’s going to happen next? We still don’t know, but since we too would like very, very much to see (and produce!) the next parts of the movie… We’ll try to contact Mr. Kojima and find out ourselves!
Thanks to Lucas “halosolid” Gabriel for discovering the message!
