Next episode in 5 minutes.
Next episode in only 3 more years.
I'm the newfag again, first chapter already adressed the two only natural advantage that humans have. Backgrounds are still amazing and hell, even with good artistic value.
Seems like I'm one of you already
>>153972037
>not the Sagan version
WAAAAI
I can't believe Serval is fucking dead
>>153972400
>You can not reply to this thread anymore
Great minds think alike
>>153972400
The owls are bullies. I like them
>>153972150
The art director for this show who will have been in charge of backgrounds has worked with Studio Bamboo a lot who do a lot PA Works shows. Worked on Uchouten Kazoku for example which I believe a lot of people praised for its backgrounds.
How true it is that all VA are basically young inexperienced and 3rd rate? It sounds pretty good to me.
Is this a one-man project basically?
>>153972315
>>153972400
How many times Serval has died so far? I'm afraid at this rate her 9 lives won't last till the season end.
>>153972615
Some VAs have experience, like Tsuchinoko, Toki, White Owl, and Fennec
>>153972615
Stop pretending to be so ignorant.
>>153972587
There was no good reason for them to take Serval down like that.
>>153972615
Serval's voice actress is very inexperienced, her first ever MC role, but there has been a mixture.
>>153972638
I can definitely think of three times off the top of my head.
>>153972615
Toki's VA is too good

>>153972615
Pretty much
>>153972650
>>153972667
Why are you being such a non-friend?
>>153972638
Just about once every episode IIRC, and twice in ep 2.
>>153972844
Because you're barely an associate.

le..l....lewd!!!
Just started this show yesterday, 1st ep seemed kinda shitty but as it went on I liked it more and more. Super cute character designs.
How are birbs the cutest though? The Ibis, mem-Shoebill and owls.
>>153972037
>>153972630
Jesus Christ /a/. How many of these are you going to do?
>>153973117
Because they are like little dinosaurs. That makes them cutest.
>>153973147
We keep filling them so we need more
Cute and kashikoi owls.
>>153973147
As many as we can before color-anon finally breaks down.
>>153973147
I'm expecting one of the Safari Live crew at some point.
>>153973147
Until colorfag finally stops being tsun and confesses his love to drawfag.
>>153973266
W-what happened here?
I really like the part in the OP where that one voice says "Japari Park" in the background in a really indifferent monotone nonchalant sounding way during the "La La La La's" in the right channel.
>>153973358
I know exactly what you mean, friend!
I want the OST

And Bag, and Beaver, and Prairie Dog, and Moose, and Lion, and Hippo. The foxes also have fairly experienced VAs, and iirc Giraffe does as well. Not sure about Gray Wolf. One of the Penguins is a Milky Holmes, too.

Those African Wild Dogs are vicious though.Saw a gang of them on Safari-live archive video kill a pregnant impala and then rip the still living fully formed fetus from her insides and kill that too.

That was super cute. Thank you, TL-kun.

>So you didn't know that today was Halloween, African Elephant?
>Yes.
>Every day is like New Year's to me after all.
>You really go by your own pace...
>>153975016
Yeah they did make that point on the video and it is true but it is still somewhat shocking to see and you are correct probably wrong to call it vicious that is just projecting human emotion onto it.
>>153975052
Cute!
>>153975098
>I'd like otoshidama, mochi, osechi, a Christmas cake, a summer greeting card, and the Old Testament.
>H-how do I even respond to that...
>Anyways, I'll give you some candy. Here.
oob: Do you have cookies too?
>Yay! Thank you!
>So you give people candy and wear costumes for Halloween?
>Well, in other cultures Halloween has a deeper meaning.
>For example, the otoshidama you get at New Year's used to be an offering of mochi to the New Year god, but at some point it turned into money.
>I guess that rearranging customs so that everyone can share them is our specialty. You might think it's strange though.
>Mhmm...

>Huh?
>Oh, you mean like Halloween? That ended a couple days ago.
>Unfortunately, thanks to rearranging every day is Halloween now.
>I learned that rearranging things so that everyone can share is a specialty of this country.
>So I've rearranged Halloween to be every day.
>Thus, please give me candy. I'll be coming tomorrow and the day after as well.

>>153975357
From what I've looked at I get the impression despite men existing the manga does seem to have more of a yuri bent to it than the anime.

>>153975505

Now that the second season is greenlit (and hopefully a third will be) can we even have hope to see all the 160+ friends?

If you hate Fennec's smugness then you'll probably hate her VA's smugness too.
>>153976236
The message is so insanely vague that it could mean anything. Quite far from it being greenlit.
>>153976236

Advanced tactics.
I will pay for the second season, I have a whole bag of un-returned soda cans.
Someone post the chart about how you slowly get into the series.
Some Japs used a translated version on their convention or something.
>>153976236
It's a multimedia project for them to say the story will continue in some way could mean anything, new game, new manga, new light novel series, new drama CDs, new anime. You really shouldn't draw any conclusions from that yet in order to avoid disappointment. That's not to say I am not hopeful it will be more anime along with other things its just not a confirmation of a decision for a second season so please don't treat it like one.
>>153976467
>>153976383
Shoebill smiling is kinda creepy.
>>153976236
Staff often says that something will "continue" and then it's nothing but an event one year later or a spin-off manga.

The design is too good.
>>153976932I was going to rebut this with screenshots of Google recognizing motherfucking "Cartoon Network" but it seems like their bots have gotten good in the past week or so.
>>153976802
No, but for more than a year they repeatedly made "important announcements" that always ended up being stuff like drama CDs, character songs, seiyuu events etc. When they were about to reveal the final project (S2) people started preparing themselves for the worst case scenario and pachinko became sort of a meme.
>>153976932
>>153977114
Sugoi.
>>153977133
I thought pachinko was more of a Haruhi meme
>>153976542
I still stand by this point.
>>153977178
Haruhi pachinko was the meme becoming real and slaughtering the fanbase
>>153977178
Pachinko is a meme for a lot of popular series that are in "S2/3 Never" status.

>>153977455
Can you post that image, anon?
>>153977114
The image search points to a lot of posts (blogs, boards, twitter, etc) with 'serval' string attached recurrent to it, the resulting string with most hits then loops back in form of content search. It's smart but not wow ingenious.

Its a show with bad animation, mediocre to bad voice acting, decent character designs, terrible environments and is overall just not good.
And yet somehow its this season's 2nd or 3rd best anime.

I'd bet data integrity failure. Some of the hardware holding data might have degraded, but a separate system is trying to boot it because it detected human presence? Purely conjecture.

It's the same article, just with a different site format. What's the point?
>>153978176
>>153978157
Almost everything about the show besides the animation is somewhere between competent and excellent.

I think it will help studios understand that content is important, that people are perfectly willing to watch shoddy CG if the show is good enough instead of just throwing money at some bland sol or moe anime that looks good but you might as well watch paint dry.

Only the animation can be considered bad, and the backgrounds are clearly low-effort but still good, probably because the person working on them is very skilled. There's a few newbie VA that aren't very good but overall there's a large and very decent cast with some excellent VA like KobaYuu or Tomoko Kaneda. The writing is top-notch and it's globally a great anime.
>>153978332
At least the example he posted is very clearly not traced.
>>153978282
A dish with mediocre ingredients put together that comes out well. Also parts of it, like the macaroni and cheese, aren't good for you.
>>153978476

>>153978684
>pic related
>>153978415
>theirs are actually traced
Most of Kyoani backgrounds aren't traced, they just use real places as reference, it's different.
>>153976654
Don't even think about it
>>153978157
>food analogies
Every. Fucking. Time.
>>153978716
>aren't traced
Well yeah, you don't need to trace to just slap a filter on a photo.
>>153978684
Potatoes are great but a tuna casserole they do not make. Maybe I'll try it next time for shits and giggles.
>>153978714
Potatoes are the Japari Bun of real life. They're tasty and full of nutrients and give you everything you need.
>>153978449
The funny thing is that people keep calling this a kid's show, but it actually treats the viewers with intelligence. Exposition is very light and it leaves enough clues to get you thinking and asking questions. It'd have been standard to have the owls infodump everything about the situation of the park and point them towards their goal, but we're over halfway through and still guessing. That's rare when the actual plot seems to have such little complexity. Anime never understood show don't tell, and I doubt this will change things.
>>153978806
I still get amazed everytime people use food analogies. It's like it's ingrained in everyone's system until they realize how silly it is.
>>153978806
That was a good thread, and those were some good times.

Ireland pls

I love /a/
Here, you can have this white fluffy stuffthat always disappears for no reason.
>>153978777
I'm not saying they never did that, but 90% of the time their backgrounds are neither traced nor filtered photos. A lot of persons will think a background is a photo just because it looks realistic and they are unable to notice the little things like the lack of details, the inconsistencies or the weird perspective that usually comes with an authentic background drawing.
>>153978966

We've had some not very happy meal headed people flowing in over the last couple years. I'm glad that Kemono Friends has worked as a deterrent to most of them to keep these threads comfy.
>>153978449
Well, I might be friend without any hope. I think they will just pump out shitty CGI shows without much content instead. Hey, it's the visuals what counts the most, eh? Moe girls and all that?
>>153976932
Bravo, Japan.

>>153979158
I never been a huge fan of /a/. I always was around /tg/ but this anime made me come here to talk with people about the show.
I also started to watch more anime and man. Some people around here are not very kind. Some threads turn quick into a shitstorm. I'm glad this kind of threads are more comfy.
>>153979329
>Some people around here are not very kind.
Its a vicious cycle of being mean to keep shitters away and being around assholes as a consequence. But its really all about finding threads like these where everybody is on the same wavelength and just want to discuss the show.

>>153979329
The problem isn't really that people aren't kind, it's the people who love to capitalize on that and derail threads with bait and the like. I'm really fine with people hating on an anime if it means having something to discuss but a lot of people are just being irrational or are just looking for (You)s.
Judging by pixiv both Emperor penguin and Shoebill lead the number of lewds
>>153979613

>>153979536
> 12 year olds don't play Warhammer
That seems like exactly the age that would find Warhammer super cool, though. Or at least 40k.
>>153979570
Episode 8 soon.
>watch otter videos
>can easily imagine them going わーい!たーのしー!
>>153979646
I don't play it but I've always heard that Warhammer is a money sink that can burden even working people. Sort of like the buyfags that whine about blowing all their money.
>>153979646
Doesn't Warhammer takes tonnes of time and money though? Doesn't sound like something most 12yr olds would have.
>>153979611
It's more like a lot of people take some things too seriously. For example yesterday aired the new Dragon ball episode and the threads turned into a ''gohanfag vs anti-gohanfag'' war... again.
>>153979712
>>153979536
You would be suprised about that 12 years old thing. /tg/ board always resolved about making new things. Painting, modeling, charater/world build, stories and so on. /a/ just started to consume things over and over again, reposting and reposting.
>>153979706
And the lore is too much for a 12yr. They get bored easily. There is a lot more accesible entertainment.
Kids these days think that the old pen and paper rpg are to much work too.
>>153979712
DBS is garbage anyway and so are its threads.
>>153979705
>>153979706
If you're getting into the wargaming scene itself, sure. But there's plenty of Warhammer exposure now that doesn't involve the miniatures and such (video games, books, etc.).
>>153979635
Blame it on her being oversized.
>>153979646
Well the problem isn't really the appeal, it's the accessibility and popularity. Anime can be watched free and caters to a lot of interests. Warhammer and DnD requires a lot more involvement and even money, and is a pretty niche thing.
>>153979776
I guess you could say that's just the nature of the beast.
>>153979827
Her chest is barely noticeable. Goddamn nip perverts.
>>153979828
I got into D&D when I was twelve. Even earlier, technically, as I'd read some of the Forgotten Realms books a year or so before that.It helped that my dad used to play and he helped me find some other people to play with.
>>153979827
But Shoebill is one of the smallest characters.

>>153980014
BAHAHA
Dude those lines are pretty choice
>>153980026
This disgusts me.
>>153979905
I didn't mention anything about age like the other anons. But yeah, twelve years old is pretty reasonable to start playing DnD but, as you can see from your story, it holds a sort of barrier of entry that anime doesn't have. Keeps a lot of "undesirables" out.
I was totally into Warhammer as a 12yo, as were my friends. I started playing stuff like Space Hulk, Heroquest or Mordheim in elementary school. However it was much cheaper back then, when I was in highschool you could still spend around 150€ and start playing. Compared to regularly buying 60€ video games it was not that expensive.

Dodo isn't the only Friend of a species humans hunted to extinction. There's also Steller's sea cow, and possibly some others. (I'm not sure if Aurochs counts as one that humans eradicated or just as a species that ultimately died out despite the Polish attempts to preserve the species.)

So those are yuri goggles.
Haven't watched it, but honest question. How did people's opinion for this series go from absolute shit to best thing ever?
>>153985919
Not judging it based solely on the first episode.
>>153985919
You have to watch it to understand.
>>153985919
Because the animation is the only bad thing about this.
>>153985919
I never thought it was shit
>>153985919
People initially assumed that it was bad from the low production values in the first episode. It turns out that it wasn't bad.
>>153985943
I just rewatched the first episode and its great. How can you not love Serval? I think it was just people warming up to the CG.
>>153985919
This kinda happened with GuP as well. People didn't really care about the first couple of episodes and then the craze suddenly started.

The first episode gives a first bad expression, but the atmosphere is there
Then any attempts to continue watching it to laugh at it becomes a trap since it gets better once you've gotten used to the bad CG and your focus shifts to the optimistic tone and pretty anime girls
>>153985919
Adding to what has already been said, would a bad show get so much glorious fanart?
>>153986008
I didn't like the first episode at first, but after giving it a rewatch I agree. It's not a bad episode, it's just not being used to it yet. Although I was not being the most open minded when I first watched it.

Those two things have no relation, a lot of people have shit taste.

> Kantai Collection
Yes, they can.
>>153984564
Oh yes, yes. This is what I want,
then you die.
why does everyone know who is boss?
does he visit all the places or what?
>>153986419
The Beasts seem to be automated park management, so yes. They even make the Japari buns.
>>153986419
There's a lot of Lucky Beasts.
>>153986469
Do the friends know that or do they think its all one guy?
>>153986501
One guy.
These are not very clever friends.

I coordinated one before, but I feel like it wasn't at a decent level of editing. My audio editing is limited to basic knowledge of Audacity.
>>153986397
KanColle gets fanart because it's first and foremost a popular game, the anime doesn't really play into that.
>>153986501
Episode 2 should clue you in on how smart are the Friends
>>153986675
Clarifying:
I coordinated a different show's OP for a Let's Sing. I would participate, but I can't handle the editing again.

The game is shit too.
>>153986521
only the owls know that there are multiple "boss" around
theyre also the only ones who call them lucky beasts instead of boss unless im mistaken
>>153986733
I would organize it if I knew someone who could edit audio, I can do images and video but audio is fucks me up.

That was the best example of a spineless cash grab made only for the purpose of milking every last cent out of the fanbase because of being stupidly popular so they went for the cheapest studio threw concept art at them and told them to make something out of it and expected the people who liked the original content to purchase blurays without a second question. Unfortunately for them because their target audience was the actual fans they didn't consider that they would actually know better and proceed to throw the pile of trash they shoveled out right back into their faces because of the inconsistencies, terrible plot, and the stench of money grubbing that went into making the show. The movie they then made was no better and in fact made the already terrible aspects of the shitty show all that more apparent and worse. If they still had any sense in them they'll not even bother with a shitastic second season they were brazen enough to announce at the end of last episode of the show before they could even get an actual reaction from their target audience. At the very least Kemono Friends looks like it was made because they just wanted to have fun with it.
>>153986679
I really wished they actually put any effort into writing and not made it as an excuse to put as many boat girls in an episode

Anime that have to show off a huge cast of girls from a game in one season can just not be good, see Girlfriend Beta.
>>153986742
Yeah, but people play it mostly because it gives them some kind of sense of responsibility for being in charge of something with the added bonus of some waifu tendencies that it adds to it although in the end it's just a glorified resource management simulator. The original fanbase is already dying out and starting to move on to other things with the shell of a husk they're leaving behind being fought over by the diehards who put lots of their time and money into the game and the people they just want to make all the girls into a bunch of lesbians so that they can get more people to look at their fanart they make to increase their pageviews.
>>153986891
That was such a disappointing show. At least One Room is everything I wanted it to be
also 600th post
>>153986891
I think Kemono Friends is doing it pretty well.
>>153986891
Girlfriend Beta was great.

That sad little "aa~ nakama.." at the end always gets me
>>153986992
Good setting and only a few other girls every episode.
Their format is basically friends of the week.

As much as I love Kemono Friends now, if I hadn't known about it before and saw Nexon trying to sell me this I would turn 360 degrees and walk away..

Tsichunoko also calles Lucky Beasts as such.
