I wouldn't mind them in the show but I fucking hate how hollow, boring and fucking annoying 3D idols sound when they're not in characterwhich is accentuated in KF as the penguins aren't the idols, the idols are the penguins.The same happened with Noucome at a lesser degree, I love Afilia saga songs but everytime I heard their stupid corner I wanted to punch them in the face.

Me on the left
Alright, so now there's the possibility that the humans left the island.
But why?
This episode was both shallower and more complex that the other before, I am not surprised people didn't like it.
Now, the first layer of critique to the Idol industry is obvious and I won't talk about it.
There is a second layer of critique though, and this is about consumerist society. Like in Romero's zombie movies, here we have a society who collapsed and yet can't stop themselves from wasting energy for useless things like Idols. There is still the view of money not being important, the owls were paid with a simple ticket, but *why* where they paid? Logically telling them to come and shake all the hands they wanted for free should have been the reward, not a piece of paper. A piece that has no value unless people recognize said value. And what is this episode about if not money then? Bag-chan could do what Margay couldn't do because she had money to spend. Bag spent her money, and now she would have to do something again for the Penguins to be able to shake hands. We have a post scarcity society and yet someone manages to still make a profit, exchanging work for money that can be converted in hand shaking.
No other animal did this, they all worked for free. The idols are thus elevated and attacked as the symbol of japanese consumerism and hoarding of power.
When Margay tells you that all idols have to do is be cute and sing/dance she's talking about how all capitalism does is give you a shiny box without real value.
We also see again how it is the birds who are the most human animals, they are the ones who dance and sing.

I think what bothered me about this episode is that before everyone acted like animals turned into people, whereas this episode they acted like people in animal cosplay.
>every idol episode ever with drama then make up
>token lesbian who gets nosebleeds and spergs out
When Toki sang Kaban liked it, and when she got better everyone else liked it too even though it was very amateurish. Things like that made it feel like this was a different world. When the penguins actually had choreography and professional singing it felt like an outside force came into the show and disrupted the mood.
I've liked idol shows before but the formula is very stale and putting that into this show which is kind of unique gave it a very jarring break from the atmosphere so far. That being said it wasn't that bad, just very weak. I look forward to the foxes next week.

It was an island in the game too. Never put together all the maps to see if it resembled Japan though.
>>154055926
Well, Japari Park is an island full of nothing but cute naive females.
Can you imagine what would happen to them if males got to them?
>>154056020
so humans are useless and waste energy?
>>154055998
The penguins had been researching and practicing for one year in order to get to that level, and past generation of the idol group only existed because penguins are popular. It was most likely an idea that got pitched in by a human who was in the park before the first generation came about.
>>154055998
Do you think the foxes managing and running a hot spring resort will also be a break from the atmosphere?

Idols are never a waste, so I think your whole point is moot.
>>154055132
Before watching the episode myself I thought this was an edit.
>>154056086
When you put it that way that makes more sense. It's weird that they're so perfect but they have been working on it for a long time. Like you said humans probably had a direct hand in it that got passed down. That makes me feel a little better.
>>154056088
It depends. Alpaca seemed very animal like in that she was only able to do one thing and had no idea what the solar panels were. It was very simple and remote. The penguins were much more involved with their craft.

People have been predicting ever since we learned the library wasn't the end goal that the second half of the show would feature animals more accustomed to human behavior and technology. It might be a bit disappointing to those expecting more of a safari, but it looks like that's the direction we're going.

They are the most human because singing and dancing are interpretative arts, and the first way people transmitted knowledge.
To quote Higgins' Anacalypsis, the three great elements of primitive ritualism - music, poetry, and the dance - existed before the discovery of writing. The birds are going to be the new rulers of the world or of Japari Park, taking the place of the humans.
>>154056207
Well, their mascot was in this episode.

>>154055998
Other animals were still getting use to becoming a Friend. Toki didn't know how to use her diaphragm and flying was still new to her. Prairie dog was to big to just dig holes without them collapsing.
Whats weird is that they mention 'previous idol generations.' Up until this point I had the impression that animals had become friends fairly recently and were still getting use to it. So do these previous generations imply that they had been friends for generations, or that the park had ""idol"" groups where it was just normal penguins.
>>154056207
I still believe my own theory that someone who works at Crunchy unironically likes the serie.
>>154056207
I know you got your mascot in there by handing one bowl of instant ramen to the staff, CR, but it's time to accept that most of the west doesn't give a fuck about something that looks this cheap. Just move on already.
>>154056207
They must have changed it because I see nothing
>>154056310

>>154055998
I agree with you, this episode felt out of place. I would have prefered if the penguins were retarded animal girls performing poorly and every other Friend were fanboying like crazy nonetheless. It wasn't bad though.
>>154056088
Let's not base that discussion on an episode that has yet to air. It depends on how they handle it, like how the PPP episode was okay but could have been great.

It just seems like if you think that is a break from atmopshere then its just going to carry on with friends doing far more human things with a friends running hot springs episode and then a lodge episode.
>>154056387
I sort of feel bad that they didn't even put any effort into that still.
>>154056388
They're very cute together.
>>154055998
>>154056361
My only complaint is that Kaban had not enough time and was basically useless.
>>154056327
I think it's the other way around, the studio wanted to appeal to the foreign fanbase so they put the Crunchyroll mascot there.
Except they got the wrong 'fanbase'.
>>154056361
They were retarded animal girls. Just retarded animal girls who had already put a lot of practice into their job rather than only starting it when Kaban and Serval showed up.
>>154056326
A handful of them probably gave it a watch for the sake of writing about the boom going on in Japan and at least a few of them stuck with it and enjoyed it and got the rest into it. Peer pressure works quite well in pushing this show from what I've seen.
>>154056327
Is everyone besides CR's mascot in that frame actually a friend from the game?
>>154055743
Too real
>>154056428
Yeah
>>154056416
Does /a/ have some kind of mascot?
>>154056361
>I would have prefered if the penguins were retarded animal girls performing poorly
But they were, didn't you notice how they were completely out of sync at first? They only managed to perform well after solving their issue and calming down, and don't forget the recruiting/training montage that happened across an entire year.
So, is this show going to spawn any yuri doujins?I fucking hope so
>>154056388
I'll be sad if we don't see them together again.
>>154056326
Their main social media guy unironically likes it if he isn't lying on their twitter, as does a number of their regular editorial contributors.
I wonder why Lion and her friends played football/soccer and not baseball.
>>154056422
You're right, the key point of my paragraph was "performing poorly".
>>154056459
Yes but I prefer to think we don't
>>154056497
Because Kaban gave them that idea instead of baseball.
>>154056416
I wonder if they realize that a majority of the english community for the show is on a website where pirating anime is advocated.
>>154056506
They did do so initially.
I fucking hate this drama idol shit. This has no place in MY Kemono Friends.
>>154056459
It's still Yotsuba, she's also the mascot of the site as a wholeor was now that SACHIKONG has taken that role over.
>>154056466
Fatalpulse is going to make a doujinshi featuring all the Friends learning how great humanity is, with Kaban being replaced by an obese, balding fat man.
The real Kaban wakes up and sees the fake Kaban, who then...

They still did a perfectly choreographied idol gig in the end, that's my complaint.
I think the episode was okay despite that and I loved the penguins performance, I was just disappointed.
>>154056605

Not him but I will change my mind about all of this if the show demonstrates that friends are able to advance even further once they gain more knowledge and get used to their new bodies. This episode was different because no one has acted like this before. Even the owls, kashikoi as they are, still didn't know what they were doing and were so adorable because of it.
Thinking about it hasn't Serval been around awhile? She seemed to know how the world works but didn't know about anything too advanced. Does that mean if friends are in a remote area they won't be able to get better? Is that why she got bullied by hippo and other friends for being a troublemaker and whatnot?
>>154055933
>group of friends found a better thing to do than juggle a rock all day every day
>a lot more friends came and enjoyed their performance
Yeah, such a scathing critique of consumerism.
>>154056631
They're still getting lodsemone from Niconico.
>>154056608
I think this is the introduction to the more ''human'' side of the park. The first 6 episodes where more natural. Episode 7 is a library with owls that know about humans. Episode 8 is idol group. Episode 9 hot springs.
We are now in the civilized half of Japari Park

>>154056394
>They are on the production committee for the show.
Why did they wait until now to start talking about it then? I don't remember them caring much until around episode 4 or 5.
>>154056608
I don't have any problems with the penguins or their performance or the way the issues were approached. I just felt that because they weren't characterised deeply enough it was difficult to feel the almost serious tone it felt like the show was going for with the drama came off as good. When they were for example playing the moose/lion conflict off they have always approached it from a goofy comedy kind of aspect "these baka animals having baka animal problems" without taking it seriously.

It's more than likely that the friends are capable of learning higher skills but many haven't. Alpaca was capable of making tea when she was taught. Toki was capable of improved singing when she was taught. Beaver built models when she was taught. Prairie could build houses being taught by Beaver. Penguins could form an idol troupe learning at the library.

Why?
If they have such a problem with the subs, why don't they just translate it themselves?
Why go out of your way to pirate CR subs if you don't think their good enough?
>>154057380
TL-kun had a bunch of horrible mistakes in his translation and now he's re-editing every single chapter with help from JP friends. That's all I know on that matter. Last I checked, they were arguing whether or not TL-kun was genuine in his apology, which is really a moot point when they're willing to redo all their work with people assisting them.
There are only 4 episodes left until we are left to fend for ourselves.
I honestly don't know what I will do without more Friends.

The thing with penguins, penguin shows are popular and Japanese zoos sometimes call them idol units because that's how Japan works.
Making them into idols was natural and turning their episode into idol drama was inevitable.
My only real complaint about the episode is that the location it happened in had zero presence and felt like nothing.
>>154057560
How were there previous generations in the first place?

At this rate I'd guess yes. Unless they get busy and can't finish before the anime ends, then no, never. People lose interest fast.
>>154057646
Probably neighbors who didn't want him to be put in an unmarked grave.
>>154057646
He himself, probably. Surely you can pay for your funeral in advance.
>>154057555
I feel like this show could go on forever like Teekyu did.
>>154057618
I feel like they intentionally made it isolated from the rest of the series. They had to cram so much into the episode at once (introducing margay, and all five of the penquins, giving them some backstory, creating drama for a plot, having room for idol things) that there wouldn't be room to properly include other things.
>>154056948
When? I thought it was in episode 4 when Tsuchinoko appeared, but I rewatched it and she says it was used in the past. I honestly don't remember when it happened.
In any case, it's evidently not commonly used anymore, it's a rare artifact from the past, based on how Tsuchinoko acted, so the point still stand.

>>154057560
sandstar eruptions create new Friends, and it looks like this bunch was born while the first generation was still alive. And yes, I have to assume Friends do die when they're time is up, with subsequent sandstar eruptions birthing more

Sure am. I was just waiting on typesetter anon to finish up so that I don't overload them. Also I figured it wasn't a good idea to start up again immediately after the episode since it'll just get in the way of discussion.
I don't own the rights to translating the thing or anything though, so if someone else wants to do it, by all means, go for it.

That's me. My schedule's been backwards so I have never been here when you are.
Are you typing up the translation in a document then pasting it in posts all at once? If you are could you contact me on batoto, it would save me a little time if you could send me it or dump it on pastebin or something. If not no big deal.
>>154058028

Why was Princess getting so flustered about there being different numbers of penguins on the previous idol teams? Just because there was never a royal penguin on them before?

>the location it happened in had zero presence and felt like nothing
That's another good point. I wanted to see some aquatic friends too.
I get the reasoning for the other penguin's nicknames, but how do you get "Hululu" from Humbolt?
>>154058189
>Just because there was never a royal penguin on them before?
she was afraid of how the audience would react to a new penguin being introduced
>>154058189
Yes, she was worried she wouldn't live up. Although general stage fright also clearly had a lot to do with it, anyone would be scared getting on stage in front of a large audience for the first time, especially if you're hyped up like PPP apparently have been all around Japari Park.
>>154058297
It's the noise she makes when slurpingfish
What are they going to find at the harbor?
>>154058297
Humboldt = フンボルト = FUnboRUto

jesus christ why is serval so ALPHA
>>154058297
フンボルト > フルル
But also because it's cute.
Out of curiosity, is the Emperor from the game or the manga any different from this one?
>>154058189
I think she never said the others the original team was made up of 4 members, so she feared they'd kick her out once they discovered it since she doesn't have any ancestor or something.
>>154058297

>>154057560
they were probably just humans who pretended to be penguins and the current PPP read up on them one day by finding posters and stuff
>>154058828
I think it's being used incorrectly too. "shit-eating grin" means that even though something is really awful you're still smiling through it. At least I think it is anyway. I don't like to use it either because imagery.

>>154058863
Maybe they were friends too. Makes sense that humans in the park used penguins as idols. They do things like that in real zoos with dolphins.
>>154058863
I think they were actual penguins. Another anon mentioned penguins sometimes being called "idols" at Japanese zoos, so it makes sense that when Japari Park was open to humans they'd make the penguin friends form an idol unit.
>>154058788
Just ignore the angry friends, the episode was great indeed.
So we're in agreement that this sketchy-looking, flat shaded still shot was injected at the last possible moment as some kind of business deal with CR, right?
>>154058956
It's likely.
>>154058933
I like that it's still kind of vague just when in the timeline friends became friends and whether there are/were other friends of the same species. The longer we go until dumping all the lore, the better.
>>154058956
why even go through the effort. it seems so insignificant
>>154058956
>business deal
Crunchyroll outright partially owns the project publicly.
>>154058956
Wait, is this the mascot thing people were mentioning before? Which one is it?
>>154059018
Orange one.
>>154058788
That part where Hululu didn't even realize the issue with the group members until after the whole thing was already resolved was just pure gold
>>154058956
A-am I the only one who thought she was some kind of fire fox at first?
>>154059018
red hair fox looking one
>>154058956
I don't understand what it has to do with CR or any business deal.
>>154059018
The one that's not from the game.
>>154059066
It's the mascot from their website.
>>154058956
Given how Crunchy is actively trying to sell the show to the western audience, yeah it's possible they made it at the last moment, like that Serval VA recording.
Still, nothing wrong with this shot since the mascot is integrated in a tasteful way. You would just think it's a new Friend if you didn't know the CR mascot beforehand.
>>154059064
I never would have noticed had someone in another thread not pointed it out, because I didn't care enough about CR to even know they had a cute anime girl mascot.
>>154059066
The orange fox like girl in the middle is the crunchyroll mascot. Crunchyroll are investors in the franchise so get a say in the production of the show. That is pretty much all there is to it. It is quite possible they asked if she could be inserted to help them market the show to the rest of the world.
>>154059110
>>154059148
Oh, okay. I never visit CR or know the first thing about them.
Anyways, it seems like a cute touch, nothing harmful.
>>154059112
>Given how Crunchy is actively trying to sell the show to the western audience
>They didn't care to shill it until it got big
I bet they're butthurt as fuck that they cant figure out why its not popular in the west.

>>154059203
I think they don't understand why it's popular in Japan, so they must think "Might as well try to advertise it to our subscribers, maybe it will work somehow".
>>154059256
Nope. This is the beginning of the end. They will show Friends taking care of themselves more and more in preparation for Kaban's departure in the final episode.
>>154058643
>>154059309
Isn't it just as much they advertise this shit to make it clear that they as a service ALWAYS have the best and biggest shows from Japan in a season. Like once you sign up it doesn't really matter how much you watch.
>>154059148
Might also be possible that the idea for the cameo came from the studio's side out of gratitude to Crunchyroll and/or all those funny gaijin fans (who totally watch their anime on CR, right).
>>154059256
Maybe it won't happen anymore since there's no more mystery around what kind of animal she is.

I've been researching a bit how is popularity going in the west. Seems that more and more people are starting to watch it.
I still don't know if it's a good or bad thing.
Humboldt is the perfect chikan material
The episode reinforces this
>>154060148
Who doesn't?
>>154060160
That's a bad thing obviously. The less popular in the west, the better.
>>154060160
It's a good thing for the show, a bad thing for people who have such little personality they need their sekrit clubs to feel good.
>>154060165
more like sadist/femdom material
koutei and hululu a bests
other penguins irrelevant
>>154060160
It's a bad thing because the more popular it gets, the more special snowflakes we'll have here whining about it becoming popular.
>>154060270
You mean Princess and Hululu.
>>154060262
that is emperor
>all this CR promotion

>>154060165

>>154060111
Penguins are very aesthetic animals, so it makes sense that animal girls based on them would look great.
>>154059906
That's what they want you to do to them.
>>154060231
But popularity in the west is irrelevant, all that actually matters is it's popularity in Japan, so I'd prefer to actually be able to have decent discussion of the show with a small english fanbase.
>>154060288
emperor is masochist/exhibitionist/gangbang material

>>154059906
Pretty lewd butts, which is strange considering the design is pretty damn pedomorphic.
>>154060160
If they're going to be accepting that it's a good show and not some sort of meme, then that would be fucking sugoi. Sadly, that's probably not going to be the case.
>>154060231
If you take a look at literally any thread about shows that are popular in the west, you'll understand why the people here are so averse to KemoFure getting more popular.
>>154060376
I really don't care about whiny autists who cry about fanbases?
>>154060307
Why do their butts look like that
>>154060296
I wonder if anyone will do a parody of the face of someone whose intelligence fell to that of an anteater.
>>154060160
I feel it's good because it shows people not to push these types of shows aside immediately. Both it being for a younger audiences, and the fullVERY mediocreCG.
>>154060281
It's going to become one very deep layer of unbearable irony between actual enjoyment, and those hopping on the train just to be in.
>>154060303
I appreciate other's designs too.
>>154060281
Saying that is bad if it becomes popular isn't whining about it becoming popular?

Even if you don't care about those people, they'll still be there in those threads spewing dumb shit everywhere. The smaller the fanbase of something is, the smaller the chance of it having the worst kind of posters is as well. It's not about being a special snowflake who's proud of liking things before they got popular, it's about being able to enjoy things without getting lumped in with bad elements.

>>154060592
Probably if they say it's an island is because you can realistically go around it on foot.
>>154060524
You don't seem to understand what anon is complaining about. Most posters don't care about an anime getting popular, they care about the threads becoming shit as a consequence of it getting popular.
I wouldn't worry too much about that happening with Kemono Friends though, we're 8 episodes in and it's still unpopular outside of Japan.
>>154060570
Sorry, I just have no interest in wasting any more of my time on your personal insecurities, last (You) for you. I'll be enjoying the show and the threads, you can sit there and continue to stew about your overinflated sense of entitlement and not have fun if that's what you want.
If the idols are on their 3rd generation, does that mean the park has also had 3 generations of friends?

Look at a globe and look at how big the continents are. Theres no way the friends would be able to know that the park is entirely surrounded by water if the park was as large as a continent.

>>154060779
And that's how things should stay, ideally. What the whole sequence of posts meant is that the show getting more popular would increase the chance of those shitters showing up.

When Margay said she was excited at the chance to see a PPP group from their first show, she might've implied she'd seen the last after they were already established. There's not enough info to tell how generations would come about, but just because penguins have had 3 generations doesn't mean they all shift at once.

When idols quit a group and let their kouhai take their place that's called a new generation. I suppose the meaning is the same in the anime, just penguins disbanding after a couple of years until the next friends decide to revive the group.

If we can trust mal as a testimony of its popularity, it's increasing fast as its popularity doubled in a few weeks. But it started from such a low point that it's still less popular than Idol Jihen or SGS.
>>154061691
I like this show because it's cute and fun but also because it has other interesting aspects going on. You can't deny there's no deeper mystery behind it all.
You really need to stop assuming that whoever likes this show for more than just the cuteness and fun is because they read about it on some normalfag review. The staff is putting thought and effort into this show and you're honestly a piece of shit not only for not acknowledging that, but for antagonizing anyone who does.

Heh.Cute design, though, I'd love to see it in Mine Yoshizaki's style.
>>154061870
Even the Japanese people behind the show admit that it has some mysteries, nobody is arguing against that - the problem are the people who only picked up this because they heard it was some deep shit and don't care about the characters or even try to have fun with it. There is a difference.
>>154062107
Pat all the Friends on the head.
Take Kaban's hat to give it back to Arai-san. Fucking hat thief.
>>154061870
You've misunderstood me, I'm not saying there's nothing deeper. I'm sure I wouldn't like it as much as I do if there wasn't as much effort put into the writing and mystery as there clearly is, I think the primary reason most people here and in Japan enjoy it is because it's cute and fun but also has a lot of thought put into it. I'm complaining about the people who can't fathom that a lighthearted, fun show could get this popular so they convince themselves that it's some dark and deep show and force themselves to watch it.

>I'm watching this because there's so much world building and mystery going on, all those who watch just because there are cute girls are plebs who can't appreciate all the effort put in by the makers
Can't we just all agree both of these extremes will just ruin their own enjoyments of the show
>>154062547
CR didn't pick it up. They partially own the show.
>>154062552
I don't think anyone thinks either. There are just people that fear that the way western bloggers try to rationalise the popularity of this show will have a negative impact on the quality of these threads and then some people misunderstanding those people as saying "you aren't allowed to enjoy the show in way X".

>>154062570
>CR partially owns the show
>CR does absolutely nothing to promote the show until it explodes spontaneous in nipland
That marketing director should be terminated
>>154062718
I guess they thought, nobody cares so whats the point. Maybe it only makes sense for them to heavily promote the popular shows in order to draw in subscribers?
>>154062718
The property was a failure until it unexpectedly exploded in Japan.
They had no reason to promote it.
>>154062718
>>154062776
and then when it got popular in Japan I guess they thought, maybe there is something to this and it could catch on in the west too.
Tasmanian devils often die from face cancer. ;_;
>>154062788
For the west, at least. Apparently it was already filling threads on Futaba since way before the popularity explosion.
>>154062844
Good thing that's an Australian Devil and is already extinct, then
>>154062847
filling threads on futaba does not mean its profitable
Good night, Friends, until next thread
I don't get the Happy Meal meme. Someone please explain.
>>154051021
Just saw this post checking previous threads and the royal penguin is thought by some to be a subspecies of macaroni penguin, even with DNA evidence it can be argued as just a variant. The major physical difference is the colour of their face, which must mean something to penguins as they stick to their own communes even when migrating.
No relation to king or emperor despite its name. In a way it would have seemed like a pompous surplus category when they could just add a descriptor like 'white-faced'. Many other animals share a base name while being genetically different and even hugely different in looks.
Anyway, here's African penguins going down some stairs: https://youtu.be/c7qZWGsgRl0?t=36s
I want to molest the penguins
>>154062847
It was pretty much driven and spread from futaba initially in terms of popularity growth and even 2ch it was one of the more discussed shows of the season still. We were managing to get a couple of 300-bump limit a week up until episode 3/4 iirc.
>>154062866
I googled "Australian Devil" and it insists on showing my the Tasmanian Devil. What am I missing, aussies?
>>154062815
The west as a whole cannot into wabisabi so that probably isn't going to happen. Not unless it's that "I watch it ironically" crap.
>>154062938

The fuck? And even still their promotions are basically "LOOK AT THIS WEIRD SHIT THAT GOT POPULAR IN JAPAN. WTF GUYS LOL"

>>154055586
FUCKING DELET THIS
>>154063021
Thank you, Friend.
>>154062893
It's still proof that enough people care about the show to talk that much about it.
>>154062964
I see quite a few people enjoying it unironically now on western twitter and it just seems to grow day by day with people saying "I started watching for memes/ironically but its actually really seriously good" kind of thing.
>>154063010
They even misdescribe it as being based on a mobile game still too. The PR people writing articles aren't the same guys in production committee meetings in Japan.
>>154062988

>>154063059

>>154062898
Look up Japanese Spongebob Happy Meal advert.
>>154062893
The series already made back its own budget on niconico payed views alone, before any merchandise or BD sales.
>>154063094
And profits come from things that sell, which usually only happens if something is popular.
>>154062988
Rwby is a ff8 fan-fiction. Looking like an old video game adds to the experience.
Also it's a battle shonen, a genre much more popular in the west than CGDCT or iyashikei.

Yes but Kemono friends was not selling before the anime aired

Despite the popularity it had on futaba it was a commercial failure
Of course things are different now that the anime is airing, but before the anime the franchise was not pulling in a profit

>>154063362
What the fuck else do you expect?
Hang on a second. What if the Friends aren't actually changed animals at all, but rather some sort of automatons or statues brought to life by that strange substance?
I got the idea from a shot at the end of the OP where the camera scrolls up past a whole bunch of friends who are standing totally still while glistening with the substance. Could they all be "off" in this state before they're brought to life?
This would explain why they all seem to be able to subsist on nothing more than the occasional Japari Bun, and also why they don't eat each other. They have no need of such food, just the occasional bit of fuel intake.
This also explains the ethics behind keeping sentient beings in a theme park at all - they're not really sentient, they just act like it. Kaban-chan is the only truly sentient being in this place. It's also why Lucky Beast only talks to her - what would he get from speaking to a park attraction?
Maybe their knowledge is all stored in some external server or place that has long crashed after some volcanic explosion drove all the park staff away, which is why nobody can remember what happened.
>>154063396
Fennec already knew that Arai-san is going to fuck up, isn't she.

I get the feeling she just enjoys watching Arai-san doing whatever she does but is driven by her urges to defend and protect her waifu.
