Why is the level of detail in the character design so good?
Finally, stop dying as I'm about to post, thread.
>>153865157
>Unless they where planing for the game to crash
I wouldn't put it past nexon, honestly.
I was waiting to someone to post a new thread, but they are too comfy to let them die and not start a new one.
>>153865792
But necon has nothing to do with the creation of the anime. They where just hosting the game and little more.
Huh, watching youtube videos of the mobile's story, "Kako" is actually a game character too. She doesn't appear on screen, but Mirai mentions she was caught by the Ceruleans when they took over the Park Central (it was meant to be an entertainment and commercial district, also with hotels and other stuff for lodging, although the only thing visually shown is a theme park-like castle in the game). Almost all the staff escaped, but she stayed behind.
I guess this pretty much confirms she's going to be in the anime? She had no design in the game but then there's art for her in the TCG. Maybe she's going to be the one underground then.

What's the ferris wheel about?
>>153865972
It's actually pretty odd since her design was created specifically for the anime, but so far it doesn't seem like she'll have much of a role.

So not all bird friends have their wings on their head. Is it because they don't fly?
>>153866122
There's obviously some meme I'm not getting here but I wish they would just finish the arm instead of having it float there.
>>153866289

>>153866384
>Yes, like all other birds, penguins have feathers. Penguin feathers are short, overlapping and densely packed. The outer part of the feather is waterproof while the inner down section traps an insulating layer of air, keeping the penguin warm in the sometimes freezing water.
They're just not fluffy feathers. Maybe it's just a design choice.
>>153866469
Yes
>>153866538
Yuru Yuri?
>>153866410
Maybe they pull a reverse dark twist. Everything seems bad. Humanity extincted, park abandoned, the ceruleans predating on friends and humans... and then everything ends fine.
>>153866410
>>153866410
It doesn't seem like the kind of show to have a dark twist. Some people think it's masquerading as an educational show for kids but is actually some super deep post-apocalyptic tragedy.
I think that there have been some foreboding signs so far, but it would be weird for there to be some kind of complete tonal shift in a series as innocent as this one. I'm just hoping that the ending is happier than the ED would have me believe
Vol 1 is once again sold out everywhere, as one might expect. Wanted to order, but can't find it anywhere. Amazon, Mangaoh, Honto, CDjapan, etc.
Anyone else disappointed when they learned that Japari buns were made from plant material?
Was it here that someone mentioned maybe Arai-san was able to speak with Boss before, because she hid her ears under the hat and Boss thought she was human at that time?
That seems like an elegant and very possible reason.
>>153866695
I was relieved
more yuri friends when
>>153866695
>>153866750
I thought it only reacted to the feather. Why do we think she had a hat at some point?
>>153866626
Just noticed those silhouettes. This picture is so perfect.
>>153866750
Not all Friends have animal ears. I think Boss can tell humans and friends apart via other means.
I think it's more likely that normal Boss reacts to humans, while mystery voice Boss (which isn't really Boss at all) reacts to the feathers and other special items.
Otter was best. Why aren't there more otter posts?
>>153866854
>Why do we think she had a hat at some point?
Not him, and I don't know that she had the hat in her possession either, but we know she was certainly looking for someone wearing the hat, so she at least knows it exists.
>>153866922
>>153866854
She speaks about how she found a hat in the latest episode.

I don't see it. Any kind of twist like "humanity is annihilated" and such would basically limit its legs as a franchise.
The park is in ruins and people there left or were killed. I don't see why so many people want to extrapolate that to the entire world.
>>153866854
Boss talked to Kaban before seeing the feather. When he saw it was when the ''recording?'' with the girl voice started.

Descriptions like this don't do justice to the nature of penguin feathers. The outer feathers can lock together with teeth, using the same structure you see if you rub your finger along the edge of any other bird feather. They're all zippered up in a way. This form helps water to run off the penguin so it doesn't hang on long enough to ice up.
Underneath that coat they're actually not densely covered in down feather, but do have an extra third layer of feathers that stick to the skin and hold the heat to it like body hair. Their method is layers not quantity per inch.
Also, as flightless birds it used to be thought penguins didn't have the sensitive feathers most birds use to adjust to air currents in flight. They do in fact have them to help both in swimming and ensuring their feathers are groomed and oily.

>>153868272
Shit, actually, calling it teeth gives the wrong image. Under a microscope the outer feathers have grooves and hooks that allow them to hold and slot together on a teeny scale.

I'm watching Etotama right now and I don't dislike it, but aside from having animal girls and 3D it has nothing in common with Kemono Friends. It's essentially a battle-favored take on the old Urusei Yatsura formula.

>>153868672
>The emperor penguin breeds in the coldest environment of any bird species... it has a layer of sub-dermal fat which may be up to 3 cm (1.2 in) thick before breeding. This resultant blubber layer impedes the mobility of emperor penguins on land compared to their less fat-insulated cousins

Putting fake cat ears and a robot cat tail on a real girl should soon be feasible given the huge progress we're making in prosthetics, then you just have to brainwash her into believing she is a cat.

They're such cute and funny little things and I love how this show has handled them.
Please translate it.

I agree. It's already well-established that you can do things like add entire appendages from completely different species with only a couple tweaks to a gene here or there.

>A speculation on Japari Library being the old testament's fruit from the tree of wisdom in Paradise (Garden of Eden) and Kaban and Serval being Adam and Eve.
>Evidence 1: The Japari Library's appearance seems to be based on an apple. Apple = Fruit from the tree of wisdom. Also, the large whole in the wall is implying a bite was taken from the fruit
>Evidence 2: The large tree growing through the library symbolizes the tree of wisdom. The tree of wisdom is located near the center of Paradise (In this case Japari Park would be Paradise.). The 7th episode is roughly the middle point of the anime and the Japari Library might be geographically located near the center of the Japari Park.
>Evidence 3: Tsuchinoko (a snake) realized Kaban was a human and still let her go to the library. This resembles the story of how a snake seduced Eve into eating the fruit from the tree of wisdom.
>Evidence 4: Kaban is Adam and Serval is Eve. The reason for Kaban being Adam is her use of of boku as a first person pronoun, which makes her more masculine, and the fact that Adam was the first human. Serval was an animal that took the shape of a human when she became a Friend, just like Eve was made from Adam's rib, which was initially not human shaped. Furthermore, she was the first to invite Kaban to go to the library just like Eve invited Adam to eat the fruit from the tree of wisdom.
>Evidence 5: Kaban reading a book, the crystallization of human wisdom, can be interpreted as Adam eating the fruit of wisdom. What about Serval? When would she have eaten the fruit of wisdom? One can interpret that to be when she ate the banana, as there is a theory that says the fruit of wisdom was a banana and not an apple.

They are capable of flight but if they are far from a continent or another island... maybe japari park is called like that not because it's in japan but because IT'S Japan?

Ceruleans, derived from latin caelum which literally means "the heavens", are most likely the angels trying to drive them out of eden then.
Further evidence of blasphemy is this morning star shaped one. In Revelation 22:16 Jesus states "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." The morning star is also associated with satan, an angel fallen from the heavens.Though it's probably all coincidental and analyzing it this much is autistic
I am so fucking confused by this show. I'm not shitposting, I am genuinely confused. It's so bad but because my friend kept raving about it I watched all 7 episodes. Why is it so popular? What the fuck is even happening in the story? Why do I want to watch episode 8?

All versions of the story seem to be in different universes right now.
Manga - Sandstar fell, but there seem to be no Ceruleans around. Japari Park opened like intended, no major issues. Friends/Animal Girls live with constant human contact.
Mobage - Sandstar fell and Ceruleans appeared. Park closed to visitors, but Mirai (Park Guide) remained behind and she's soon joined by the player character who receives a mysterious invite and has a magical amulet that boosts the power of Friends. Together with Serval and other Friends they travel around the park helping other Frieds and retaking the park, hoping to one day reopen it.
Anime- According to the official site, somewhere in this world the Park opened at some point in the past, but... what we actually see in the anime itself.

Outside world is as empty as the parkso Kaban-chan leads the Friends to rebuild and resettle the world.
>>153873086
Outside is fine. I don't want Kaban to be the last of her species.
>>153873268
Aesthetically I would like the outside world to be empty but then I'd have to come up with some sort of explanation for why everybody is dead and that's not tanoshii at all.
Especially because it feels like everything that could destroy humanity would have demolished Japari Park as well.
>>153873086
I wouldn't mind a Dark City ending of some sort.
>>153873392
>I don't want Kaban to be the last of her species.
It already seems like there's another human in the park.
>>153873404
>Especially because it feels like everything that could destroy humanity would have demolished Japari Park as well.
It's sandstar, I don't have to explain shit.
>>153873086
I don't know how they can justify the park that probably cost as much as Japan makes in a year to be abandoned if everything is fine.
>>153873404
fantasy mode - all humans were spirited away
fallout mode - all humans castled up in dome cities
space mode - all humans left earth on space arks
space mode 2: electric boogaloo -japari park is the space ark
Humanity was wiped out by a flood; Japari Park is Japari Ark and Kaban is Noah
>>153873666
Noah had to bring breeding pairs, though.
I just realized how fucking terrible this show would be if Kaban were a boy.
>>153873086
Empty, for the chance of some urban ruins exploration in later media. Also, I'm a real sucker for mono no aware and everything bittersweet so I'd rather have a sort of "life after the end" backdrop to the whole story.
>>153873729
It would be pretty bad, yes, but at least they can repopulate for sure
>>153873182
Why is she shooting him in the head?
>>153873729
It'd be fine if it was still an innocent adventure and not "Kaban-kun has to fuck all the friends with harem antics."
>>153867194
Utatte masu ka?
>>153873525
Aggressive predators (Ceruleans?). It'd be basically a Jurassic Park situation.
The issue with the entire world being in ruins is that it'd essentially render the whole Japari Park set up pointless - especially if you also want Friends outside of the Park.
>>153873830
You don't need a pair thanks to the power of sandstar.
>>153873897
is it even possible to have more than one friend per species
>>153872218

>Kaban-chan's hands are amazing! They can make all sorts of fun things!

What the fuck is up with rockhopper penguins, they look like they came straight from hell.
>>153872281
I too want the OST
>>153874013
They're just punk rockers
>>153873897
It's still a lot of terrain. Expensive terrain. There has been wars for less.
The only excuse is if outside the park there are even more Ceruleans or human weapons don't affect them.
Why is she the most popular penguin?
>>153874018
Cheeky.
>>153873917
Friends are singular living repositories of all the genetic information needed to resurrect their species. Japari Park is a self-perpetuating ecosystem containing all the information needed to restore the world to its future state, left by the last humans. Kaban, of course, is the human Friend, whose existence is the last key needed for Japari Park to fulfill its true purpose.
In Episode 12, Kaban finds machinery in a facility that will consume Japari Park, recreate all the animals and people, and restore the world to its former state. Despite being sad to see each other go, the true wish of the Friends is to see their species, and the world, restored to their primeval glory."Hey, Kaban-chan, what was down there, anyway?"
"Oh, nothing, really."
>>153874242
She seems the most calm, cool and mature. A lot of people like that.
Also she has the more mature body.

It's not. It might look different from what you're used to, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
That confusion is normal, as you're slowly acquiring taste.
You know it's true.
>>153874265
I never seen that theory and I like it a lot. Every animal is a library of it's entire species.
And when they are restored they have a really vague sensation of what happened.
All humanity learns to enjoy nature and respect animals because they all have a little bit of Kaban inside of them.
Also Serval is the new nº1 pet in the world for some reason and all Servals are friendly with humans.

She is going to die for real there
I just realized that another message of this anime is that if you are alone you can be who you want. Or, to be more precise, if you can be identified by someone external, your are "specified" and you have to fit in the box.
In this case, we know what Serval is, and she acts like a serval. Any animal here shown acts like the animal, even if there is a filter of absurdism. On the other hand, we don't know what Kaban is, and as such she was free to be who and what she wants until the owl confirmed she was human.

It's obvious they were going with an apple = knowledge theme for the library's design, but the other points are rather forced, like Tsuchinoko standing in for the snake. What about Shoebill in that case? Tsuchinoko didn't even point them to the library.

JOURNALISM
>>153877844
"Sleeper hit" is a generic term meaning anything that became an unexpected blowout success.
>>153877707
no you fuckers need to stop liking crunchy or ANN or whatever articles on these threads its so very apparent some of you faggots are just here because its popular.
>>153877836
Most likely the latter.
>>153878001
Personally I think its fun watching MAL faggots squirm and try to reason why Kemono Friends is doing so much better then their 'deep mature' chinese cartoons.
>>153877707
>Kemono Friends is based on a social smartphone game
Every time.
>>153865792
>was the game crashing part of your plan?
OF COURSE
>>153878156
What is this thing and why are there like 3 Kaban pictures of it
>>153873862
The mobile game had a silent avatar and the only real pandering stuff was some phrases that the Friends could say in the home screen and even so it was all fairly tame.

The article could have been a lot worse though, even if they got some big things wrong there was a bit more research put in and they didn't misunderstand why it's popular from a fundamental level because they tried to force their western views on the show like it seems every other english article posted here has.
>>153878180
It's a mainstream meme thing, I just liked the art.

>>153878001
I think it's interesting to witness the western response to Kemono Friends. He's free to link an article, you're free to ignore it and to capitalize.
>>153878183
You can relate a lot more with characters when they're interacting with other characters instead of cardboard cutouts.
>>153878542

>>153878455
That would be what's called "12D chess", or something like that.

Heh, back in the 90's, Moomins were aired in public Polish TV. I hope you had similar service like us. 7 AM was the sacred time when every kid could watch something great. We even made our own Moomin animation, Teddy Floppy Ear style.
Shame how kids nowadays have several channels of shitty cartoons. Honestly, MLP was one of the best shows these kids could experience. I feel bad for them.
>>153880301
He's the concept designer, which is much more than just the characters.
>>153880301
He's the concept designer, not just character designer. The basic story ideas for the franchise in general came from him, not just the designs.
Do you guys have a folder for those edgy art?
>>153880238
Hey, I just came across it on twitter and found it funny because it confirmed I wasn't the only one who thought Anne looked a lot like Serval.
>>153880327
Nope, never aired where I live. In fact I didn't watch my first episode of the Moomins up until a year ago. I do get what you're saying about childhood nostalgia though. Ed, Edd n Eddy was that for me.
>>153880416
No because I don't save that. It's only tanoshii in my folder.

>>153867936
The Keroro Friends will be in the Kemono Friends Chaos TCG pack too. Maybe they will actually appear in the anime finale or something?

It feels more natural than other shows. It's objective is not to entertain, is to make you feel good.
It's tempting to start watching this series though the fact they're full-lengthened episode is kind of a bummer.
Maybe a shorts like 5 minutes one but 24 minutes? How am I going to binge watch all the episodes?
>>153881502
I dunno if 'natural' is the word I'd use. But then I don't know what word to use. It's so...unique.
>>153881512
What? It's just a single season so far. The show really wouldn't work as a 5 minute shorts anyway.
>>153881512
Are you autistic?
>>153881512
Just let the tanoshii flow through you.
>>153881410
Sure, give me a few minutes.
>>153881512
I think a lot of people went into this expecting a short. Now I feel like I could watch a couple more cours. It's a lot easier to watch than you think once you get used to it.
>>153881512
Every episode feels 5 minutes long, that's how much fun they are.
>>153881512
You are saying that now. Whatch some of them and then you will be wishing that they were 40min episodes.
>>153881350
Its something like:
>I cried. I kept crying. I was so lonely, I kept crying
>Long ago, I went to that place
>that day, Japari Park
I'm only about 50-50 on whether thats correct, though
>>153880830
Looks like Kaban-chan lost her pants.
>>153881387
Yea, first thread I saw looked like several guys ironically trying to shill for underdog animation. Just because it has CGI animation. Well, it's like ,,slow food" movement, or obscure indie/old games. Graphics are secondary, most important is how much love and thought was put into final product. I really love character design. There's so much detail in everything.
The fact they have planned the story and it already has a end makes me wonder how will this franchise survive. 2hu and boatsluts can survive since the contents is huge and the settings are already established
>>153865739
Is there a folder with the other typeset comics? I dont know if I have them all.
>>153881512
The only episode that I felt that should be a short was the first episode, the rest work fine for 24 minutes.
But seriously though...is anyone planning on supporting this show/franchise with their wallets?
>>153881410
Here you go.
>>153881756
I plan to get the Serval Nendo and definitely will get a Shoebill nendo if they make one
>>153881664
It can't shill when there's nothing to sell. The anime was considered last bonus to a failed franchise. Every other services had been shut down before the anime.
>>153881786
I'm really feeling it, thanks lad.
>>153881756
Thinkin about nendos
>>153881756
I already have the whole BD on preorder. I hope the studio has a reasonable cut from the committee since I want my money to go straight to them as a thank you for this wonderful series.
>>153881756
I would preorder the Blu-ray if it wasn't out of stock.
>>153881756
I'm short on cash right now but I'll buy what I can afford.
>>153881786
Did Serval get to eat any curry? I bet she'd like some.
>>153881682
The ending probably will end in a way to allow a sequel even if the ending is closed. It was intended to be part of a larger franchise, so no way they'd set out to make something that couldn't be continued.
>>153881512
Once the tanoshii kicks in, you'll be unable to stop watching.
>>153881756
I'm definitely getting the Nendos and considering the BDs.
>>153881682
It's better to have a product with a satisfying ending than a cow that gets endlessly milked, with the milk getting thinner and thinner with time.
>>153881861
>It was intended to be part of a larger franchise
But at the same time, the anime was supposed to be its own thing, mostly unrelated to the game or the manga. I'd rather have a conclusion than a dumb sequel hook which might get abused by greedy people who want to print money while ignoring everything that made this show so enjoyable in first place.
>>153878781Non Non Biyori did that to me and made me a lot more open to other anime genres.
Now Kemono Friends just opened me up a lot more. My backlog is crying right now.
>>153880830
These are minimally adapted lyrics from RIVER, by 10-feet; the artist mentioned that they drew it while listening.
I cried, all I did was cry,
When I noticed it, I had been crying alone,
I had gone to that place that I had gone long ago,
that day, Japari Park.
>>153881611
I'm about 70% on mine being right, if we flip enough coins eventually one will come up heads. I think the 行った in 昔行ったあの場所に行った refers to where he had been crying somewhat recently rather than referring to his travel long ago but I can't be sure.

>>153881695

>>153881502
More like staff had more freedom with what they are doing. Sales weren't important anymore, because whole project flopped anyway. So they could spread their wings. I guess that budget restriction was also good, because they had to decide what should be included, and what shouldn't.
>>153882056
>mostly unrelated to the game or the manga.
The manga and game also didn't fit in the same canon though. It's not like the anime is special in that sense. They were still all intended to be part of a larger brand, so it wouldn't make sense to end the anime with something that stops future sequels from being made.
It could happen if the anime's storyline changed directions due to the game failing, but so far they've denied anything like that.
>>153879910
That's cute. I wonder if it'll come up in the anime.
>>153882075
you're translation for the first panel is correct (I don't know how if fucked that up)
I think that the comic is being retold from some time in the future. So the 'mukashi' refers to the time when the events of the comic occurred.
>>153881682
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Even if Kaban's storyline is finished at the end of the anime, they can still make another series set in the anime Japari Park.
>>153882330
A decent conclusion wouldn't necessarily mean that future anime projects are impossible, they could give an ending to Bag's story and follow up on whatever happens because of it for example. It's just that I'm worried because you don't usually see cheap-looking efforts like this end up this successful, so I'm afraid that people would try to do more of the same in the future and fail horribly because they couldn't get what was so magical about what's currently going on correctly. I'd love to see more Kemono Friends in the future, but more than that I want this season to be successful and satisfying without trying to turn into a cashgrab.
Did someone asked for shoebill-chan on steroids?
>>153882533
Put it back.
>>153882533
I need to see more characters from other series cosplaying Friends. Oh if only Touhou wasn't reclining.
>>153882533
This series is pretty funny.

What did that yellow piece of shit cook up this time?
>>153882533
Mou sugoi~!
>>153882527
Neither Madoka nor Girls und panther got the 2nd season. Both were successful at that time. Haruhi got 2nd season but flopped. It's not easy to develop a successful franchise.
>>153882677
>literally us
>>153882706
And part 4 is >>153882533
>>153882700
Madoka didn't get a second season because the story was over. If it wasn't, Shaft could have easily pumped out more seasons instead of the movies. It's all about the context.
>>153882739
I need a translation of all this
I just reached episode 3
Ibis is pretty annoying and I wish she would just shut-up
>>153882776
Strips 1-3 are translated on Danbooru, 4 doesn't have one yet.

But she is so cute
>>153882700
GuP and Madoka both got a movie. Madoka is pretty sure to get more material in the future and it's totally possible GuP will get more too. Haruhi is a special case because the author of the LN stopped working on it and on top of that the main VA sucked too many dicks.
>tfw Kaban-chan is my favorite but everyone gushes about the Friends instead
It's a lonely existence.

>>153882936
This is amazing
>>153883306
Don't worry. They don't know how to apreciate the superior animal. The homo sapiens.
>>153883306
Everyone loves Kaban, it's just that you're not going to get much attention when you're a regular human in a show full of animal girls.
>>153883385
Being the only regular human in a show full of freaks makes her special and the freaks the common rabble.
>>153882936
Ok, picked up.
>>153883385
Well, usually the main human character is hated or basically ignored.
Everybody loves Kaban.
This show is awesome
Is Japari Park in Fukushima?
>>153883518
Yes it is. And whats better is that it doesn't end with the show. There is the community, the fanart, the memes, us...
>>153883579
It's in Japan
>>153883306
Don't worry anon, I find Kaban-chan very cute too.
>>153883581
Our threads are reliant on the anime and Japanese content. Threads always die off when the anime ends no matter the series and that we are doubly in need of moonspeakers to consume the fan-content which is quickly becoming the meat of the franchise we are fucked the day moonspeakers get bored.
In short, cherish these moments, because we currently are at the peak of the western fanbase. It's only downhill from now on.
Another nice rendition of the OP:

Kaban isn't really a normal human. She's a homo sapiens in friend form.
>>153882789
Have you heard her backstory?
>>153882936
>Error 502
>>153883696
It's also why there's no need to worry, because there threads will fade away almost immediately after the show ends.;_;
>>153881756
I'll probably get the nendo if it turns out well.
>>153883696
>>153883714
It's great.
>>153883696
>Threads always die off when the anime ends no matter the series
Unless it's one of those "brother dicks his little sister" or "the vampire looks 5 but is actually 1000 years old!" series.
>>153883696
You are correct, BUT, considering the success and nature of the IP, there is a good chance that the owners will want to keep the ball rolling.
How? Well, a new game is something they'll probably do. If the anime has a "hard ending" there is always a chance for a reboot, etc.
Unless those behind this are allergic to money, I really don't see how they'll let it die.
With that said, will future iterations keep the charm? Hard to say... fans may not even welcome an animation that wasn't made with the current limitations.
>>153881756
I'm borderline "saltines and ketchup packets for dinner" broke but I'll try to scrounge up some cash for at least the Nendo, I haven't had this much fun watching a show with /a/ in ages.
>>153883899
It'd be better if they were allergic to money than too attracted to it. I don't want to see Kemono Friends tun into a 5000 episodes series while everyone turns into a caricature of their former selves.
As long as they don't someone make a second season completely impossible (friends revert to animals, kaban dies) they could just pull some Dog Days stuff and let kaban return for adventures
Or possibly a different MC who goes on a different adventure and meets different friends
>>153883696
The western fanbase isn't much of a thing to begin with. As with the peak I'm not sure what that means, some may think it will be in august when we get a truck of doujin content. But the best threads on /a/ are surely right now, even if Kemono Friends gets more anime in the future we won't see the same craze over it again. And the threads will likely be full of shitposters.
>>153883958
I love this.
>>153883899
but I don't want this show to get milked like fate or other shit franchises
>>153884002
If they do a different MC, I hope Serval stays offscreen having adventures elsewhere with Kaban;_;

Yes Toki-chan, you make my heart dokidoki

If Toki is that nice
Why are they on the verge of extinction

Try refreshing the page, maybe. I just used the link someone else posted already.
>>153884243
because she is pure and not a slut
>>153884243
Because we're not allowed to have nice things.
>>153884243
Because she's too nice, so people hunted her too much.
Humans need to go extinct.
>>153884275
I want to hold hands with the bag.
>>153884275
Why does she wear shorts with tights instead of pants?
>>153884322
Comfy while also protecting against mosquitos
>>153884296
>>153884341
Pants are also comfy and protect against mosquitoes.

Ah, the classic situation. We all want more content, but we don't want to watch it go to shitter.
Time will only tell.
However, it'll be hilarious if the whole thing ends becoming into a new pokemon sort of thing.
Damn it
