Why this show need to be CGI turd?

It would be glorious if animated traditional way.

>>153582531
Because no budget, this studio has something like 10 people working at it. I doubt this show will cost them more than 250k to produce, can't make a 12 ep anime with traditional animation for that.

>>153582531
It's the way it is, because it's CGI.

Steve Irwin's son was just on the Tonight Show and couldn't help but start humming La La La Laa. Dat armadillo screaming.

>>153582531
Because this director likes CGI, look at his other works.
I don't mind it at all because it can be cute often enough (like it is being for this show).

It would explain why the ending had abandoned amusement parks. They tried to control the Sandstar and failed, causing the volcano eruption and creation of the Ceruleans. They abandoned it and placed a No-Fly Zone over it and left it for decades.

Now Kaban-chan will help the Friends fix up the park and get a message off the (presumed) island to contact civilization. In the future she is then Mirai (which means future) who is the main guide to the park for everyone to enjoy it with the Friends.

What if they are all dead? What if this is actually Heaven?
Boss is God, ceruleans are angels that transport human and animal souls between their personal paradises.
This one is made in the form of a safari park and designed for the souls of wild animals and adventurous little girls.
There are extinct animals and even mythical creatures born from the human collective unconscious.
They don't need to think about getting food, they can fall from tremendous heights and still be alive and well, they are just having たのしーい with friends all day every day.

In the final episode, when Kaban-chan finishes her spiritual quest, she will leave the Japari Park and reincarnate.
Serval will reincarnate as her cat.
Beaver and Prairie Dog will be expelled from paradise for being homos.

The only thing limiting sales of this anime is the fact that they didn't produce enough materials due to not expecting popularity and are this perpetually sold out.

>>153588227
I think the popularity boost came early enough that they should be able to get a good amount more than initially expected into production.

>>153590603
It has nothing to do with "the sakuga-meme" all the sakuga fags are into it too. It is about casuals that think anything containing CGI is awful rather than accepting the show isn't trying to be the best looking thing in the world ever and being able to enjoy it for what it presents. So ingrained in the casual western fanbase is the hatred of CG that the majority literally cannot look past it. They think CG is bad because it is CG. Anyone reasonable doesn't have a problem with CG it is when the CG elements obviously clash with the 2D elements when they are trying to blend them together that thoughtful people hate.

>>153590715
She's everyone's friend.

She is some kind of new gap moe. A stern natural bitch face, misunderstood by appearance, and a uniform that rocks her body.. those tits are as stern as her face.

They probably expect that westerners won't like it at all, by comparing data of viewers with that of shows that were also made in 3DCG. Their investment in the show is very likely to be quite small.
Large enough that they will definitely get the rights to air it, but not so large that they require it to be a hit. It might even be that Crunchyroll invested into this show years ago, when the multimedia-project was in the starting phase.

Implying "the west's" favorite animu isn't Dragon Ball or Nayrootoe or One Piece or something to that effect but something with real or imagined "intellectual complexity".

I agree to some extent that westerner will have more of a proclivity to do this but the Japanese are very much doing it too although its just a smaller subset of the viewership and not the major draw. Here is a post I made the other day:

Holy shit. Some people really deep theorise on this show.

Apparently the first episode follows the history of evolution of humanity.

-Kaban-chan starts off no more than a beast unaware of her abilities.
-Then it is shown that humans develop an advantage over other animals through endurance with the scene where Serval pants.
-Humans even though outpaced by their prey and possibly weaker in the wild could often run far longer so would kill animals by exhausting them with superior endurance.
-Then the ability to throw at a target/goal which gave humans advantage in hunting and so on is shown when they fight the Cerulean.

It goes on further to go into some stuff about being expelled from paradise, gilgamesh, humbaba and ancient Mesopotamia which I don't really follow.

I agree and I wouldn't post one myself, but when someone does it I feel compelled to read it and react on it if it's too dumb. I can't really help it.

From that article.
>What drives people to watch Kemono Friends is the endless speculating about how sugoi the setting is.
It's amazing how someone can be so clueless about something and at the same time think his opinion matters enough to write a lenghty blog post about it.

Your average western anime viewer only likes to watch the latest mature, dark show. Also, males aren't suppose to like cute things, a good example of this are those Kirby covers.

Also this kind of show would be seen as childish and "contentless" by your average westerner. I hate to bring it up, but it's part of why people made such a big deal about the MLP thing, while in Japan there's a good chance your average otaku watches both kids and late night anime.

Sometimes, autism is just autism, be it in the West or in Japan. Or anywhere else, really.

I've been listening to this on loop and i can;t stop.

Yes but the nips at least have the decency to merge their silly tinfoil hat theories with the fact that they also enjoy the show for what it is. Besides those are actually interesting observations instead of whatever stupid narrative the west tries to manufacture to build some sort of faux enjoyment for this show.

>>153593836
They did invest in the whole project if the way it is listed on the website is anything to go by and are fairly high up on the list but not super high. Given the relatively low budget though maybe the buy in wasn't so high.

>without any pretense of irony or so-called "intellectual complexity"
I don't get it. Why do some people want this pretentious shit? The only purpose of entertainment is to entertain. I have never learned anything meaningful from anime or any entertainment media as a whole. Want to stimulate your neurons? Then go study.

People who want to read intellectual depth into entertainment are stupid and immature. Often arrogant too because they are too stupid to notice their own stupidity.

There is an interview the much hated sakugablog posted recently where the president of Bones said:
"As of late, digital distribution has to be factor for sure. When the distribution is decided and there’s some quality to the product, you can also sell it overseas. But then, the overseas side says “sci-fi, action or fantasy” – I’m being told that if at least one of these genres is not included, the show won’t become really popular there. (laughs)"

I don't into Plamo but I'd buy this and learn how

>>153594118
I think you can do both. I find the idea that there is a complex mystery and deep lore to a show like this attractive and intriguing but at the same time that isn't at all why I am engaged with it or watching it. I watch it because of the good feeling it gives and the lovable characters.

So you're saying that the average westerners are Narutards that loves edgy stuff and hates everything else?
