White rhinoceroses produce sounds which include a panting contact call, grunts and snorts during courtship, squeals of distress, and deep bellows or growls when threatened.
>>153522558
What an interesting animal fun fact.

Shoebills are for platonic petting only.
>Sandstar is like Tiberium
>Ceruleans are terraforming Earth to suit their need
Funny idea from anon friend, but isn't it too serious for Kemono Friends?
Aren't white rhinoceri extinct now?
>despite gaining humanoid forms and sapience, Friends still lack the ability to use tools and human finger dexterity
I think this is quite interesting.
>>153522716
No. They are subdivided into southern and northern white rhinoceros. The southern variant is doing well in the wild. The northern variant is thought to be extinct in the wild, only existing in captivity now. They were last confirmed in the wild in 2005.
>>153522704
The Ceruleans didn't make the Sandstar, they're mutated local fauna. Using the Tiberium analogue, the Ceruleans are Visceroids, not the Scrin themselves.
>>153522717
Their hands look odd to me too. Their fingers look too long even if the animal in question shouldn't have fingers that long, but that might just be QUALITY modeling.
>Last thread
>Those Lucky Beasts
I'm agreeing with the anon that said they should not be animated. They're cute, but they're teetering a bit too close to another fandom.
Also, post more Ceruleans. They look fucking awesome for mobage enemies.
I doodled a Serval for y'all!
Who's your favorite friend?
>>153522717
They have the ability, they just rarely think of using them like this. Serval was able to hold a cup or a "sword" when shown how to do so.
>>153522868
My favorite is teetering between Small Clawed Otter and Tsuchinoko, though Ibis is damn close due to those damn thighs.
>>153522717
1. Some animals only turned to friend form recently. It takes time to build finger dexterity for one. Serval learned how to hold things with that opposable thumb
2. The friends didn't receive any instruction whatsoever. Just having the ability to walk on two legs is already remarkable, never mind Toki learning different ways to vocalize (sing)
Picture is a combination of Ceruleans and the mythological beast Byakko. There weren't story scenes around this mission though, so it's all pretty vague.
After finishing it the player had a chance to get Byakko as a Friend or gather tokens to eventually recruit her. Same thing goes to the other 3 directional beasts, Genbu, Suzaku and Seiryu. They all have Cerulean and Friend forms.
>>153522308
Boss itself wasn't in the game, however...
>>153522492
In the game's 2nd story, these 3 called "Lucky Beasts" appeared (each one was individually named after a type of character in the game - Pure Beast, Passion Beast and Cool Beast), and aside from the name there are clearly design similarities.
They're described as resembling mascot characters that were made for the park but never got to be used due to it closing to visitors after the Sandstar fell.
>>153522868
Ah, you must be a friend who's good at drawing! Sugoi!
Serval is my favorite but Shoebill is very cute too.
>>153522868
Nice.
Do Alpaca next please
>>153522868
So you're a Friend that's good at drawing! Sugoi!

So how many times will they continue to sold-out? Is producing more BDs really that hard, is it the guide book?
So what advantage do human really have aside from having more of a leg start with being a bipedal sapient creature? If you teach the whole body of human knowledge to the friends, then human beings don't really have any unique quirk when compared to the other friends.

Bag figured out the bridge and the Beaver's house. She's making the Friends' lives easier.
>>153523045
And you have to think about how to accept them as living, thinking friends that are just as capable of emotions and speech as any human does.
>>153523044
But that's the issue; the whole training sequence was both funny and sad since you see how hard they try despite having visible limited intelligence
>>153523074
>ability to have a penis
That gets sandstar'd to be a moot point. You are left with friends that have both male and female features.
>>153523098
I think it's great. They can interact, but they're not smart enough to judge or scheme.
Literally zero worries around them, just keep them fed and happy.
>>153523065
Be nice to Otter-chan.
>>153523107
We find children hilarious at times because they really do have limited intelligence but they try so hard. You've seen kids throwing fits for being called a grandson for the first time for example. How should that be any different to these animals that suddenly gained sapience out of the blue?
This is a ferocious animal
>>153523147
They clearly develop their intellect though. Tsuchinoko and Shoebill show the ability of deduction, and Toki along with Alpaca show that the animals are every bit as capable of learning as any kid would be.
>>153523210

Bag remembers the Friends as they were before being Friends, which is why her first reaction to meeting a threatening one is "don't eat me!"
>>153523263
And their Friends forms are all in this image too - the middle girl in each direction (middle in the first row, middle in the bottom row, above the title, middle in the leftmost and rightmost columns).
Is there one Friend for each kind of an animal, or are they just rare enough to seldom meet each other?
>>153522558
>White rhino
>Black rhino
>Sumatran rhino
>Javan rhino

Sad to see all of them are either endangered, critically endangered or extinct in the wild.
>>153523367
Some animals that have enough visual variation have more than one friend representing the same species, like the Red Fox.
I don't think only one Friend per species is really a plot point, it's just a way to avoid a bunch of identical looking friends or needing to make minor variations of the same species, rather than covering different ones. It's not like we see a bunch of standard animals running around either.
>>153523401
It's all poaching and habitat loss too. Aside from one known occurrence of lions taking one down, they don't have any natural predators.

The ones with shadowy faces and red eyes are all Kamaitachi. They are on that wiki.
Couldn't find any information on the one beside Seiryu or the long haired one on the bottom. Maybe they're new designs made after the game? There are also two chicken friends that only debuted after the game was offline, although I don't think they even are in that image in the first place. Royal Penguin, the leader of the PPP unit, also wasn't in the game.

The beasts are dangerously furry
A focus on Ceruleans is ideal going forward, so they can get to the root of the entire mystery.
Given they were only a few months out from releasing the anime, why can the game then instead of waiting? Seems kinda dumb. The costs of running of the game couldn't have been THAT high.

If it was conceptualized as a multi-media project from the beginning, is the manga still running? It definitely feels like they pulled the plug on the project after the game failed.

>>153526279
That's because they are.
We already discussed in earlier threads how that Kemono Friends really isn't made like a typical Japanese toy commercial anime geared to kids. Kaban's way too subdued as a lead character and there's no consistent toy gadget that the anime force-feed the audience with.
>>153526244

>>153526932
there are some that are not from the game in the anime site
Capybaras are really chill animals, and Friends are already pretty damn chill.
How chill would a Capybara Friend be?

That's what I meant, that they are not the same.
Better otter.
Nah.
>>153526985

So hold on. Friends actually go to the extent of the high-powered deities in Japanese myth?

>>153526985
Sexy, but she doesn't seem to have an ass as crazy as small clawed otter's one.
>>153526985
She's the complete opposite of the other otter then?
>>153527037
In the (defunct) game at least. The anime is its own canon AFAIK. Tsuchinoko is included, but those are mostly an oddity of an UMA rather than some OP God-Friend.
>>153527049
I beg to differ.

Maybe they got a bad angle in that photo.
hey I heard gaijins estimate Kemono friend lowly, about point 4/10
is it truely? kemono friend is boring for you guys?
>>153526679
Nah, just an example of the costume system of the game. Basically any character could wear Serval's clothes since it's one of the outfits for the system.
>>153527138

>>153527161
Most people in this side of the globe seem to value animation above everything else, so I guess they didn't even give this show a chance when they saw the CGI.

many people don't like CG.
Most people stopped after episode 1.
>>153527198
That's just false. Most people don't give a fuck about animation as long as they don't think it looks bad. There is just a strong hatred of 3DCG in the west.
>>153527161
Elsewhere, yeah. People like it here though.

>>153527351stop it
>>153527367
People rate the show with only watching a single episode so all the people that were always going to hate it because of CG will count as much as people who watch the whole thing.
>>153527320
They're already extinct in the wild, friend.
Wow, it gets better. Yoshizaki has a video from mid December talking about this being his last chance to play the Kemono game.
So Nexon literally canned the game 3 weeks before the anime aired. Why the fuck would you not wait at least another month or two? Nexon is retarded.

after some days, internet got hyped with Kemono

It's really a good thing KF is mostly inaccessible to the western audience due to cheap 3D.

Not really. Kemono Friends was already liked here at least 3 weeks ago.

>>153527367
Normal western anime fans (niwaka?) see anime as mature cartoons for mature people like themselves, so childish-seeming anime like this gets dismissed. The poor animation and CG don't really help either.
>>153527367
People here were enjoying Kemono Friends before it exploded in Japan not just following Japanese trend.
>>153527567
>Emperor penguin gets so much lewd stuff
>>153527567
The Friends all have amazing hips I can't get enough of.
>>153527527
"There's also the issue of timing, but when we initially invest in a game, we consider developments while we're looking at the daily KPI [key performance indicators]. At that time there were no plans to continue. There might be something if we maybe launched now, but in the end we consider this a completed title."
I just can't see the cost of maintaining it for another month or two for the anime to hit being a huge investment.
Considering its now defunct, I wonder how much it would cost to license and relaunch ala what Nutaku does.
>>153527583
>>153527326

Niwaka fan means they became a fan due to its popularity i.e. jumping on the bandwagon.
>>153527655
>Furry
I don't think the yiffags can accept Kemono.
>>153527610
They're not listed as investors in the project so they must have purchased a liscense for the rights to make the game. The IP isn't theirs.
>>153527688
Careful, there are a few dangerously furry characters apparently.
>>153527300
There's only Oinarisama and some mythical things on the zoo page. We've seen Tsuchinoko but there's also Kyubikitsune and Jinmengyo (if that counts).
>>153527714
It's just kemonomimi. Nothing furry about that.

>>153527692
That doesn't mean they wouldn't benefit from renewed interest in the game due to the anime.
>>153527382
That was great.
>>153527776
>>153527590
but Kemono is not for childlike works
>>153527714
>>153527776
Lucky Beast is actually a robot mascot turned friend form. I think Tachikoma's higher up on the totem pole.
>>153527776
DELETE THIS
>>153527828
But the game wasn't very good in the first place? Designs are obviously great, but I heard fighting system was lackluster.
The only thing I fear if KF popularity continues to grow is the explosion in furryshit cosplay it may cause at cons. Its already bad enough.
More shoebill art
>>153527844
But they think it is. They are stupid.
>>153527858
I don't think putting on an animal ear headband, and dying your hair to a funny gradient color counts as furry.
>>153527864
>>153527776
Are they even playable? I don't see them on the wiki.
Kaban or Bag-chan

The furries certainly don't think so.
>freaking out over Lucky Beast
>>153526099
These necks are plain weird.
>>153527828
No it doesn't. We don't know what agreement they had in their contracts though. It's probably just bad timing. Maybe there was a liscensing renewal fee or something coming up and they didn't have any confidence in the franchise.

I think everyone will have their own personal favorite Friend, based on their individual likes and types and the wide variety of cuteness to choose from, but I think we can all acknowledge that Serval is on another level completely. She is the purified essence of friendship, a literal angel.
>>153527609
And breasts as well. Even though I usually prefer DFC I'm loving how busty Friends tend to be, feels great to be a true breast lover.

Does Shoebill have elbow gloves and pantyhose hidden under her sleeves and shorts? Or is it a full body suit?

Eminem teaches you about the appeal of Kemono Friends
WA~I!
Today I'm going to teach you guys one thing about one of the greatest animal anime of all time, Kemono Friends.
First off, it's a media franchise. It's genre is adventure. Also, moe anthromophization. It's target audience? YOU of course. I heard what all you friends were saying.
>Is this for kids?
>Is everyone liking this ironically?
>How long am I supposed to watch this shit?
>I'm dropping it after the first episode
It's fine though, you just haven't seen the light. Everyone eventually will though. Just get through the first ep. Before you realize it you're in a loop. Something's wrong with your head. It was the same for me when I first watched it. It was the same for my mom when she first watched it. Getting past the first episode is tough, you might even have to skip it. Just get to the second episode and click that watch button.
There's lots of things: Philosophy, story, investigation, animals. Many ways to enjoy Kemofure. However it's best feature is definitely the atmosphere and kindness of Japari Park.
Serval-chan, Otter-chan, Alpaca-chan, Prarie-chan. There's lots of cute Friends. But they all have one thing in common. They're all really nice friends.
Now it's study time. If you're a Friend you should have no problem with this. You gotta know the story of the animals. If the Ceruleans turn out to be kind, they'd be sugoi friends. The Friends keep some aspects of their former selves, which means their movements are the same as real animals. The Serval jumps! The Otters juggle and slide! The Jaguar swims! Toki sings! There's a lot more too! It's a show even this little girl can enjoy. It makes you want to learn more about animals. Then the nice ladies and men at the zoo call in to tell you about them. The more you know about the animals, the better you understand the Friends. The more you understand the Friends, the more you like animals.
>>153530297
Holy shit that's す~ごい!!
>>153530297
also what kind of friend is Kaban-chan? That'll have to wait until after the chorus.
WA~I
TANOSHI~
SUGO~I
OMOSHIRO~I
There's lots of Friend-words
but they also say some deep stuff
Take a listen
Carnivorous
Endangered Species
Extinction
UMA
They say a lot
Cute friends
There's lots of beasts here but no one's an outsider
This is where love exists
The story gets darker from here on
very dark
We'll have to raise our IQ back to normal in order to examine it
It's nothing to fear though
There's just a lot of mysteries in this story
Where have the humans disappeared to?
The park is in ruin, the bus abandoned
They say disturbing things, the ED is nothing but ruins
Game service ended
What happened to their world?
Could humanity be...
I won't say anymore
There are still many mysteries
What is Kaban-chan?
Does that hat belong to the guide?
Why does boss ignore the other friends?
They only eat Japari buns
The investigation team whispers disturbing theories
Is this post-apocalyptic?
What will become of them?
Is despair waiting for them?
Enough already! Shut up!
It has to be a wonderful world! (I hope not)
If it happens to take a turn for the worse, I'll stop watching (no I won't lol)
Anyways there's a lot of ways to enjoy this
but if you want to join the nightly discussions nows your chance
Let's cheer on their journey
Watch as I do the predatory dance
WA~I
Friendship
Kindness
Trust
Respect
There's a lot to learn from the Friends
but if your IQ goes up too much
Watch Otter for a while and you'll feel better
d anime store, Gyao!, Bandai Channel, Nico Douga
There's a lot of ways to watch
Nico charges you a fee, but 20,000 other people already paid, so don't worry about it
Are you ready to lower your IQ?
(Damn when's the next episode)
(Guess I'll go to the zoo)

You don't sound english so basically, gaijins are fucking retarded, /a/ is less so.
/a/ generally appreciates things like kemono friends instead of the naruto/attack on titan/sword art online retard masses.
It's hard to convey to you just how retarded the people who vote on those 'anime rating sites' really are.

This, episode 1 gave me exactly what I expected, a cute little distraction I could play while relaxing. What amazed me is when 2 and 3 went above and beyond.
>>153530619
People usually only do that for shows they like, and it's not like there hasn't been any lewd art before now. Most people are still too allergic to CGI to even consider giving this show a chance.
>>153530627
I was just blown away at ep4, when Sand Cat dug out overpass route out and Tsuchinoko being relieved that Human didn't go extinct. It was at that moment that the show went from a sweet little piece to one of the most interesting stories this season to follow.

Hasn't shown up yet in the anime, I think?
?
Thank goodness she looks nothing like Damegami.
>>153527719
We've actually seen some friends already who weren't in the anime site's zoo page, but are in that poster - especially in last week's episode there were quite a few.
The Japanese black bear, the giant armadillo, the African Porcupine and the chameleon...
>>153530777
Wa~i! cute friend.
>>153530877
Yeah, and Chameleon had a big part in that episode. There might be more surprises later.
>>153530866
Is there a musk deer friend?
>>153530937
Chital
>no kodkod friend
>>153530927
>>153530877
Does that mean god level friends might show up?
>>153530992
There's a chance, but I doubt everyone from the poster will show up in the tv show, since there are 160 Friends there, IIRC.
>>153530733
>Like squirrels, sand cats will also bury their food to eat later.
>>153530992
Oinarisama is on the zoo page. We were talking about it earlier.
>>153531024
80.
>>153531024
>>153531034
Oh, the poster, sorry. There's 80 on the anime zoo website.
>>153530557

This.
One tries hard to preserve animals from extinction with conservation programs, saved species like leatherbacks, pandas, out from endangered status.
The other is a wolf in sheep's clothing
>>153530866
>>153530937
Wow! A friend who's good at obliterating parties!
Please, no more cryptids, no more gods in the zoo. Save it for a spinoff and call it Monster Friends.
>>153531167
>Cryptids are not animals
>Japanese gods are not animals
The question is just how enormous is Japari Park. It's much larger than Gensokyo apparently.
>>153531167
>>153531240
Tsuchinoko is real. REAL.
>>153531274
>>153531240
Better yet, she's a friend.
>>153531206
The question is if the people writing the show can tell fact from fiction. One of the breaks had this guy from a tsuchinoko museum telling stories.
>>153531274
Zoo-oniisan said they were real. I trust him more than that anon.
>>153531370
The Sandstar makes them real regardless.
>>153531274
But you don't see them in zoos.
>>153522868
Tsuchinoko's screams won me over.
>>153531511
That's cause they're out researching ruins. Silly anon friend.
someone asked about this character from the poster earlier. She's silky anteater.
>>153531534
My friendo.
>>153531534
I like to listen a bit every day.

[austically screeches in Yuu Kobayashi]
>>153531167
Even if they appear, I guess it'll be all just one or two episodes at the end. They won't take over the show.
>>153530485
I think the uhuhuhihihi Serval chase scene right out of the gate made it difficult for a lot of people to bear. That was probably the only swing and miss this show has had so far.
>>153531704
>Cerulean Serval
So you defeat her in the quest chain and then she becomes a friend?
>>153531718
It was hilarious how bad her acting was there. Like, perfect Japanese meme material already.
There needs to be an expansion to Japari Park. Call it the Australia Wing.
>>153531752
>Australia wing
Frankly, Australia could use a sandstar eruption event. Aussies are surrounded by deadly critters everywhere. Making friends with Emu would help patch up the wounds of Emu war for one.
>>153531739
Yeah, she was one of the rare characters that joined based on story progression rather than gacha or event tokens.
>>153531752
There's two Devils and Red Kangaroo on the anime zoo page.
Interestingly, they all have aprons, along with the Panda. I wonder if there will be some kind of kitchen/cafeteria similar to the Japari Cafe and they will all be there together.
>>153531958
Well yeah, given that they all have those pouch for their baby,
>>153531958
There was a quick scene with a Tasmanian Devil in the anime but that's it.
>>153531983
That makes sense too.
>>153531994
Which episode? The two devils mention each other on the zoo page so I figured they'd both show up together.
>>153531718
There were a lot of things the first episode could have done better. I'm just glad the show hasn't turned into one big fight against the Ceruleans, or a depressing post-apocalyptic struggle to survive. As long as there's enough Japari Buns and the friends don't eat each other.
>>153531788
>Spiders all over my celing
>Wake up to spider Friends
>>153532015
Either episode 2 or 3.
>>153532048
>Finds Huntsman-chan at the loo
Morning, Huntsman-chan, but what are you doing on the floor? Why are you waiting for me at the toilet?
>>153531958
I think the apron is just there to show they're marsupials.
>>153532015
>>153532048
Yeah, episode 2. She has all of one line introducing herself. Oh well. I guess there won't be any Devil shenanigans unless she comes back later.
>>153532185
>All the friends come in a circle near the end surrounding Bag's hat with both feathers in it to Sandstar the tour guide back to existence
>>153532220
>sacrificing Bag to get Mirai back
>>153532238
That would be a gutsy move
>>153531167
Except for the talking aspect, at least the Tsuchinoko is possible as an actual animal. There are animals out there that is much more bizarre than a snake with an odd lump in the middle.
>>153530385
for you
Wew.
>>153532590
Wet otter friends
>>153532601
Friends are better when they're wetter!
>>153532298
the tsuchinoko may very well be just a poorly described adder
they're generally short and fat snakes
>>153530692
Serval-Chan says: "TANOSHI!"
Serval-chan jumps up and down.

It's always fun to play the game of "which Friend next episode will Japan draw the most fanart of"
>>153532736
Wouldn't Shoebill be a dark horse in every way?
>>153532736
I was going to say I wish King Cobra got some but I hadn't searched specifically for it.
>>153531167
>>153532298
As far as cryptids go, the human faced fish is in the anime's zoo site too. We might see her when we get an episode focused on aquatic friends.
>>153532815
That snek looks familiar.
>>153532848
As long as there's no hibagon friend...
>>153532776
not quite
shoebills have been a low level meme for a long time
they've been featured in a number of other animes
another animal sharing the same status is the tibetan sand fox
>>153532848
>aquatic friends
Jinmengyo is the only one though, not counting otter/beaver etc. Unless they add a bunch that aren't listed.
>>153532714
Tsuchinoko is not fat!
>>153532776
Shoebills look funny anyway. Basically a meme animal.
Wait, Japari Park has penguin rides? Sugoi!
>>153533338
"Searching for treats in the mouth"
>>153533386
The penguin friends are the park's idols
>>153533338
I love how it's an actual prairie dog behavior so they could get away with a character kissing people on the mouth as a greeting.
>>153533433
If there's a chimp friend, they could get away with anything.
>>153532975
The 160 poster from Shounen Ace has bunch of aquatic friends. I guess it could be an episode focus on Jinmengyo alongside some other random friend - maybe a bird or the 6th penguin - with a bunch of extra Aquatic friends. I just don't see them completely skipping a sea/ocean based episode.
>>153533465
Gotta keep it PG. Kissing on the mouth is pushing it in Japan.
>>153533488
Oh, right. The penguins.
