For uninitiated: FULL-LENGHT promotion anime for a cancelled mobage, made with the sole purpose to fill in the reserved timeslots as cheaply as possible. We might just be witnessing one of the greatest clusterfucks in anime history.
Kind of cute and with nice sense of adventure though.

That problem solving for the river did not quite end up how I thought it would. I thought they were going to build a complete bridge but then they just kind of stop and I'm wondering where the fuck are they going with this. Then Serval goes fucking HULK and lifts up the entire damn car and jumps across the river with it. I mean holy shit. She could crush Bag-chan's skull with a finger probably.
>>
>>152362481
Yeah, that part was a bit strange. Did Bag-chan really expect Serval to be able to jump with the bus's cabin? I guess she knows better. Also, Serval's ears clipped through the bus.

It all makes sense now.

Tell us more. I bet the result is more interesting than the ads for the other mobages, like Schoolgirl Shitters or Kantai Collection.

I have no clue what a mobage is, anyone want to fill me in?

Fanservice still works.

I think I like it and can forgive the 3D crappiness because they have no claim to look good (unlike the usual high budget 3DCGI crap), no budget, and zero marketing.

It's short for mobile game. They make most of the game market and it's where all the money is, especially in Japan. This is why we're flooded with anime adaptations making advertisement for them.

>>
>>152362836
What there's to tell? The game ran for 11 months, they wanted an advertisement anime, then the game was discontinued recently. But they had already contracted a studio.
Here's what I think happened. There were several options for the studio. If they give up the timeslot they probably won't get back all the money they paid for it. Also they have a contract to actually make anime and get money for it. I assume the company that contracted them can't just one-sidedly cancel it and has to at least put in some money. So with those money they will end up with some profit rather than just choosing to just not do it and taking the loss. And I guess the contractor probably can give them money to cover their loses and terminate the contract. But that will be less than actually finishing the show. So the studio just gonna scum it out, make the show as cheaply as possibly to get their money while possibly pocketing some of it.

No let's not get ahead of ourselves, this is a much better story than Hand Shakers. HS is a steam of nonsense, this at least has cute kemonos and a big end goal for their adventure. Also this show has a big mystery, we can at elast watch it to learn what kind of animal Bag-chan is.

The problem is they're already bought the timeslot and need to fill it according to the network contract (And it was probably too late to cancel and find another buyer for the slot). So they spend as little money as possible on this series and hope for the best.

What makes it standout is that it's not a short. Advertisement shows are often short, extremely weird bad shows are often short. But this one actually has full episodes that they need to finish somehow. Although It's not actually painful to watch like Gundam IBO or something like that.
>>
is this the money laundering show of the season?
>>
>>152363819
This. If you cancel a reserved timeslot then the station has to scramble to fill it with something else, so they'll charge a sizeable fee to make up for it.

The reason this is so cheap is almost certainly because someone saw that fee and said "yeah, we can do it for less than that."

Thats not how it works. You buy a certain number of slots in advance and if this show is a full cours then they are stuck with those slots because no series wants to buy half a cours of slots halfway through a network season.

They're stuck with however many slots they initially bought unless they want to pay a large contract cancellation fee and damage their professional reputation.

They can't sell the slots themselves, the network owns them. They have to cancel the contact and the network then resells the slots. Or else they have to work out a deal with the network to air something else.

Iirc that's what happened with gundam unicorn last spring. Sunrise had a show lined up that fell through so they chopped the Unicorn OVAs into a tv series with a slapped together OP and ED and aired that instead for cheap.

In the game, it was mentioned that the Control Center took care of their food, although the only one directly mentioned (over and over...) was Japari Manju/Japamanju.

Although in the game it was also mentioned that after becoming Animal Girls many of them enjoyed civilization, like Serval says that she likes watching tv, playing videogames and other stuff, while in the anime they portray them as still living in the wilderness.

Did you know when you bite straight through a tortoise they are kill? True facts.

Cats in general love killing things because they can. There's that video where a puma kills a sloth because it was mad at not being able to reach at first. Sloths are useless for food, full of mulched leaves and locked tendons, they're just high targets to play games with. I guess the jaguar's reputation is because they're that much more efficient death traps than your average house cat.

>>152365847
The show is kind of set up as a semi-prequel to the game, since "Kaban" is heavily implied to be a younger version of the game's Park Guide (same VA, feather hat).

It's not strongly tied to that though, since it also contradicts a bunch of stuff just in these first two episodes, like how the Park Guide in the game was around since the Sand Star fell for the first time and talks about how happy she was to be able to finally talk with the animals she always saw around - and Serval is supposed to be younger than the Park Guide.

Either way, due to that set up, I doubt they ever planned to deal with the enemies much here.

I hope they feature the 4 guardians though, especially Byakko, but considering how they need to be defeated before becoming Animal Girls I guess they might be skipped.

This is bad because no budget and no motivation. Hand Shakers is bad because the studio making it went full fucking retard and thought it would be a good idea to put sunglare in every fucking shot and 3DCG chains that look fucking garbage.

I already mentionned the cast as I think it is the main difference between the two.

>memorable characters
Aside from maybe Leviathan they were pretty generic.
>fun setting
It was an extremely generic j-fantasy setting.
>Great humor
Which was based mainly on the characters and setting being retarded.

I wonder I you're not having a case of nostalgia goggles for ZBL. I loved it but it wasn't great by any means, it was just a unpopular but genuinely fun show.
>>
>>152366688
Why not compare it to Polar Bear Cafe? That also had a diverse cast of animals.

Small clawed otter was cute but it would be better to have a dozen of them.

You know, regardless of everything bad about this anime, ie almost everything, this is actually written decently. It's no masterpiece of story telling, but everything makes sense and flows, which is more than you can say for most anime that try to have a plot, and even of most anime that don't try to have a plot.
>>
>>152362780
IT'S A TRAP!
>>
>>152366166
It was great because of the cast doing retarded RPG stuff, loved this while it was airing.

Kemono is cute, reminds me of my first attempts to MMD and has a kid like wonder sense to it, it's mostly unintentional QUALITY happening though.

I would put them on a similar boat, but I was actually looking forward to more retarded dragon girls than kemono, I'm still watching kemono as soon as I see it is available though.

It beats me how this little budget project is actually better Handshakers.
>>
>>152369488
The main problem of Hand Shakers, even more so than the generic and retarded plot and characters, is its godawful aesthetics.

Kemono Friend is extremely cheap but it's not a display of bad taste like Hand Shakers.

To oversimplify it, it's normally just a term for anime furry. A good example would be >>152371453 's image: fur over the whole body and animal facial features, but still a roughly human form and no neon colored genitals like western furry has.
The more common term for just animal ears/tail would be "kemonomimi".

Kadokawa was pushing it. It's the whole reason it had Keroro's character designer, a Keroro crossover a couple of months after the game launched, a manga and figurines were shown too (although I dunno if they're still getting released).

I think you're wrong, kemono doesn't mean "anime furry" outside of maybe the english-speaking furry fandom. Kemonomimi just means "animal ears", you don't use the term to designate a character, but you can say "kemonomimi musume" for example.

Anyway, the term is used here for its original meaning which is "wild animals". As you can see there is no cats or dogs in sight in Kemono Friends.

Serval is just wearing gloves. The claws are kind of a special attack of sorts and only appear when she's using them.

The game had a costume change feature. Only the ears and tails stayed on for most characters after changing costumes. I can't take a picture since the game isn't online anymore though.

>>152373297
Based on the game,

They're aliens that fell to Earth alongside the Sand Star that turned the animals from Japari Park into Animal Girls. They do absorb and copy beings around them though, so some of them start showing human characteristics.

Don't know if it'll come up in the show since it's kind of a prequel, and that's a big reveal in the game's main story. There's also a Cerulian Serval that's tied to that reveal, and she doesn't seem to be in the anime.

It was obviously gonna be a higher budget thing made by a more established studio. We probably would've gotten a lot of fanservice to justify the late night timeslot.

Just judging by the feel of these first couple of episodes, I think that they took a script they already had done and shopped it around. They likely had all the zoo interviews done too, maybe for the mobage.

In a way its really endearing, having this tiny MMD studio trying to bring this show to life while having next to no budget or resources. It's pretty obvious that they are tackling a screenplay that's beyond their means, but they are still going for it. There's a lot of little things that make me feel like the people making this are trying to do the best they can given the complete lack of corporate fucks given.

>>
>>152383579
4 is still just a human with fur and other animal traits, 5 is halfway between human and animal, 6 is about 75% animal, 7 is a talking animal and 8 is a fucking rabbit.
>>
>>152383579
4-6 is the different between human furry and animal furry (basically an animal that walks on two feet vs a human-sized animal furry), with 5 just being absolutely in between the two. 7 is a sentinel/human intelligence animal, 8 is just a normal animal.
>>
>>152383579
7 is animal with human mind, 8 is full animal. 7 is kinda a mascot from a magical girl anime, I think.

4 to 6 are different grades of beast to animal, like 5 is Lyla Lay and 6 is Daisy Duck, and 4 is human structure with animal face and fur.

>>152384262
This. It's why you hear stories like Retarded Dragon Girls' mobage material shutting down as soon as the anime ended. Or even look at Ange Vierge alone where the original PVs/CMs for the game looked really good but a few years later we're left with a low-budget albeit fun anime series.

If you aren't part of the big boys or don't have at least a relatively loyal but niche audience then you're fucked in Japan's mobage market.

Battles took too long but were in real time, so they needed player input and attention. Real time battles also meant most battle animation was very simple.

Graphics were very low budget aside from character art (which was still very simple). Most bgm was pretty repetitive too.

They wanted to keep each character unique, so popular characters didn't get variations or anything.

VA only for battle quotes, no VA for story dialogue and such.

If it isn't making money it gets shut down so that development resources can be used on something that might. It's not like a mobage is developed and released and that's the end of it.

It was the only tie-in event aside from Keroro's (and the later had the creator working on the game).

Going with SD designs for the main art, not just the battle sprites likely limited the appeal.

But I think the gameplay did hurt this. Long real time battles means that people actually need to pay attention rather than just play leisurely goes completely against the spirit of these games. The characters automatically did standard attacks, but there was tons of micromanagement like healing, special attacks, combo attacks and an odd in-battle level up function (separate from the overall character level) which had to be used quite often.
>>

That's end/late game only though. And GBF's battles aren't real time, even in Raids.

If you're getting pounded you can just sit still for a while and wait for some other party to use a healing or power up, with the enemy not attacking unless you choose to actually use the attack command. That's why leeches are a thing in the first place.

I don't like furry but I've seen much much worse, thank you. The main problem with furry art imo isn't the subject but the terrible taste in which it is usually drawn.

That's handholders, with added big order status.

The difference being that handholders has huge budget making it easier to shit post about.

Kemono Friends is just cute CGI without much budget, and some novice Voice talent.

Episode 1: Hippo was best girl
Episode 2: Otter and Okapi were best girls, Tasmanian Devil gets honorable mentions

I just wish the 3D was a little better. This is just a bit worse than that one about submarines, whatever it was called. The moments where they talk and their mouths don't move crack me up, though. That's some advanced as fuck ventriloquism.

Jaguars actually play by doing lifting or killing stuff they don't eat, they actually carry stuff trough River banks just to play and bite it of throw it away when they are bored.

Sloths are commonly safe from hungry Jaguars since they are more moss than meat, but a bored Jaguar will toss it around just for the keks, then eat mushrooms and get high and proceed to trample around some wood or go for a swim.

Hand Shakers isn't even close to being a trainwreck so far, it's just a generic "boy meets girl with magical battles" that looks like shit.

That word is thrown left and right by retards but few shows actually match the description.

I find it mildly perturbing that this show somehow resembles Dora the explorer. It's more disturbing that I can't stop watching it.

I think it's not a trainwreck because there's nothing to wreck, it's just terrible all the way through. It's just an undiluted stream of nonsense, fucking Kemono friends actually has a story to follow.
>>
Somehow against all odds this show has made it into my top 5 anime of the season.
>>
Aren't people exaggerating a bit on how bad this show is supposed to be?
I don't think it looks that bad for a low-budget CG show, and the voice acting isn't bad in the least. I mean Serval is a newcomer and she yells all her lines but it sounds cute anyways.
Not to mention the show is pretty well written so far. I'm getting the same vibes I got from FlipFlappers's early episodes. That subtlety, that sense of wonder, it's all so deeply fascinating!

1 - Savannah

Any estimates on other regions? Fennec will be introduced in the desert and the penguin girls are rather likely to show up in an arctic episode.
Raccoons however appear all over North America so they could fit in all sorts of regions from subarctic to subtropical. Not to mention as invasive species in Germany, Japan (thanks to Rascal) and the Caucasus.

Clearly their world was meant to be visited by humans like some kind of zoo, but no human has set foot in there for a long time, since everything is worn down and broken and the animals don't even know what a human is.
What the hell is the backstory on this park? And how did Bag end up there?
>>
>>152403380
Maybe it's like Utawarerumono and she's an archeologist fused with an ancient deity in form of a bag.
Humans died out due to a catastrophe but created a animal people from bag's cells which ended up populating the world.

I don't want to get dark, I just want cute Kemono girls meeting more friends.

But if I have to take a guess the park could have been abandoned as the dust/slimes where dangerous to humans and this was turned into a full reserve for the kemono girls.

INB4 this is a post apocalypse story, that would explain the ending being just photos of an unused park.

With the staff the show has it was going to look the same way if the game was cancelled or not. This is literally the kind of animation the staff usually does. So yeah, nice meme OP.

Other true bears:

Nope, for a moment I thought about it too, but I just compared to the game voice clips (there's a youtube video with all voice clips in the game, aside from some of the Keroro/GitS characters) and they don't match.

Intredasting.
http://kemono-friends.jp/archives/event/01/
It had a WiXoSS cross promo event.
>>
>>152403380
At least in the game, it's a huge natural reserve where they gathered animals and constructed environments simulating natural areas from the entire world and even revived extinct species through genetic engineering.

Then the Sandstar fell and the Cerulians appeared so they restricted visitors. Although the game mentions a bigger human staff, the only other human character actually seen aside from the nameless protagonist is the "Park Guide" (who has Bag's VA and a similar hat, but bright green hair and looks significantly older).

The protagonist in the game was someone who had been in the park in the past and made a promise there, and then mysteriously awakens there in the present with partial amnesia (although they at least still remember they're human). With an amulet related to that promise, the protagonist had the power to boost the strength of the animal girls in battle, allowing them to start destroying the strongest Cerulians.

The outside world is never really seen in the main story, although the Keroro event seemed to imply everything outside of the park was normal since the Keronians had just come from the outside world before getting their UFO shot down by a Cerulian.

The characters look bad and they're poorly animated but the rest of the show is pretty decent. The static backgrounds that the CGI characters are placed on aren't bad looking either I wonder if they reused them from another show or something.

She voices one of the main characters in a prequel story to Yuuki Yuuna (not the one that's getting an anime adaption this year). So far it's only been two drama CDs and a few events for her, but at least it's a solid role with more to come in the future.

It does kind of suck when they keep everyone in the cast except for one person, though. Usually they'll change it out entirely, maybe keeping a few VAs (like how the Tasogare Otome anime shared no VAs with the drama CD's except for Yuuko's).

No there's no real reason it can't just be they get to the library and finally figure out what kinda animal Bag-chan is. Then throw a big party, end scene. It'd be great. Naria girls went dark for seemingly no reason and while it was entertaining it really wasn't necessary I think.

I really should have seen it coming after her grandma died for real, but I honestly thought it was just a moment of dark humor.

She's not supposed to be a human?

Only humans have access to Bag technology.

She must be hairy down there since she's an otter

>>152426053
why isn't she on their web site?
>>
>>152428447
Her clothes are so scarce, even normal hair would stick out.

Best CG by late 2013 was Aikatsu.

There were tons of characters in the game. No way all of them show up in the anime.
>>
What is it about MMD that makes it look very 2D style?
Better CG looks worse than MMD in my eyes.
It's not about what looks closer to a drawing, just something about the style.
>>
So how popular was the game anyway before it closed down?

>What is it about MMD that makes it look very 2D style?
black outlines and no lighting/shadows = flat colors
wouldn't be surprised if the shadows on the models are part of the model and not actual shadows

Doesn't it answer the question? I doubt this is retarded dragon girls stuff where the devs massively fucked up.
>>
>>152429762
Read the thread, retarded tripfag.
>>
>>152429790
I meant I know it wasn't popular enough to last a year but I'm interested to know if user stastics exist for the game.

Otter-chan's seiyu has the decent skill as you say.
Surprisingly, one seiyu is assigned to one still-image animal)

Why am I re-watching this again and again.

They should blink....

Come on anon be kind, leave the poor animator time for a bathroom break once a day.

So, how are they going to get to the top of the mountain?
>>
>>152431008
A bird friend flew overtop of them at the end of the last episode.

Ah, that would do it. I hoped it would have something to do with the cable car.
I like to imagine that this is some kind of post apocalypse, where the ruins of what used to be a high-technology safari park are now overgrown and dilapidated by time, and for some reason the animals are little girls.
And Kaban is like a human who bailed out onto the planet in an escape pod from space, and then lost their memory.
The human race survives in space but the planet was abandoned and forgotten about.
>>
Somehow I get the feeling the ending is going to be that the characters get reverted back to their animal forms and Bag loses the ability to communicate with them because she's a human.
>>
>>152430687
agreed!
>>
>>152431008
Bird friend is showing up in OP.
Is she flamingo?
>>
Why can't I hate this?
>>
>>152431277
I don't want a sad ending like this.
I want the Cerulean to be defeated and Bag-san to live happily ever after with all her Friends.

However it would be great if at the end Bag is revealed not to be human after all.

>I meant I know it wasn't popular enough to last a year

It lasted two years from the beginning of 2015 to December 2016.

They advertised more than 100,000 users after the first couple of months when launching the Keroro crossover event and the Android version - and then announced 200,000 users soon afterwards, but after that I don't think they said anything about the userbase numbers, so they probably failed to grow above even 300k users.

means literally nothing

That was my first thought but there haven't been any new Brave shows in years.
