As much as I hate to admit it, the momentum of the fandom will most likely dissipate after the show ends unless the production committee play their cards right and introduce new media. Fan content can only keep you going for so long, just look at Tiger & Bunny. It's now forgotten except by die-hard fujoshi despite being the winner of its season because Sunrise fucked up and dropped the season 2 ball.
>>154532105
When they anime ends the committee have said that something else will take it's place, but they didn't say what.
China is wondering why the show is even popular in Japan. Blibli, the chink niconico has it ranked pretty low, I think Maidragon is the most popular show in that site.
>>154532105
Again, these are the same people that did Tesabu mate. And if you don't get what that means, let me give you the short explanation. Second season was rushed in just because of the positive reaction the first one had, and after the third and last season, they've kept the franchise afloat with specials. And it kind of works.
>>154532174
I think Kemono Friends has that same kind of spark that Touhou has for many genre spanning fangames.

I don't mind that, not every series needs to become the new KanColle. If they manage to keep this ridiculous fandom alive with a new game that's great, but if things die out it's fine too. I'll just be glad that I enjoyed this show and that I had tanoshii times with all the people who did the same back when it was airing.
>>154532168
It's not as if the studio has any say in it. A new season of anime would be down to companies on the production committee to decide.
>>154532105
There's no point in being pessimistic. Just enjoy Kemono Friends while it's happening.
It will be part of the collective consciousness of /a/ for a long time at the very least. I predict Kemono Friends threads will spontaneously spring up for the next few years or so.
>>154532289
I sometimes forget how many people live in China. Most of those videos already have over 3 million views if I'm reading correctly.
>>154532105
I'm a sucker for obvious throwaway series every season due to the underdog factor and I've watched Valkyrie Drive, Izetta the Last Witch, Ange Vierge etc.
I'm just glad I came across the AOTS
>>154532187
>whenever she says "P-please don't eat me"~
>>154532511
If you're into robots and haven't seen BBK yet I'd definitely recommend it. Flop of the season, yet AOTY, well at least in my case. Was, and more or less still am obsessed with that series, though unlike KF that didn't catch fire.
>>154532511
The only true underdog in the shows you mentioned is AV. A lot of people were hyped for the first two especially Izetta when the first few episodes aired.
>>154532105
There's a new manga being released the week the anime finishes.

These threads really remind me of back when Touhou was still on /a/. Minus the thread spamming and TOUHOU HIJACK LOL though.
>>154532670
It's an anthology manga by 20 different authors and looks like it's based off the anime universe because bag is in it. Maybe they're throwing tons of variations out there and will then serialise the one that gets the most positive reaction.
>>154532105
I think currently its have all the right factor go big like Touhou in 2004: Interesting world-bulding, simple yet amusing storytelling, decent character design ( focus in cute and not lewd, unlike boatslut), mostly, the freedom for fan to interpret any charater they like,. The last factor create a shit-ton of memes to the franchise, which help bringing new fan and keep the old fan stay.
>>154532511

Shit. Thanks for reminding to finish downloading the OST for that. Such godly soundtrack.

when I was a kid there was this PSA that played on TV that talked about how "everyone has something they're good at!" and it always made me feel like garbage because it showed a bunch of really talented kids doing things like skateboard tricks. Totally had the opposite of its intended effect by making me self-conscious about how talentless I was since all the other kids were secretly skateboard wizards and shit like that.

I remember that shit. It didn't make me feel bad though because I felt like I had a special skill in being good at video games. Then online multiplayer became more common and I realized I was nothing special. Then it became even more common and I realized that most people are talentless, socially retarded idiots and me being 'nothing special' was actually a pretty good place to be.
The best way to make yourself feel better about who you are is to take a look around and realize how fucking awful everyone else is.
>>154538865
But that doesn't fit the message. If you say "everyone has something they're good at" and I don't, it's telling me I'm not only incompetent, but an unusually spectacular incompetent.
For your intended outcome the message would have to be, "Everyone can be good at something (with practise)". That's not the same at all.

Jesus fuck this isn't the place to argue about this but I'll just throw one out.
It's a fucking horrid dumpster fire of a 'game'. If a shitty walking simulator in the form of Machine for Pigs didn't exist SOMA would be on top of the chopping block when it comes to relatively recent garbage I had the misfortune of playing through. Literally only existed to engage you, engage you like a brick wall engages you if I might add, with its own generic quandary on the nature of human consciousness. As a short story? Sure. Hit me with it, the whole WAU and ARK story line was interesting enough for a good read. As a game? Especially the game they made? God fucking no.
Had to go play I Have No Mouth just to wash the horrid taste of that sorry excuse of a tedious repetitive hide and seek fest. And don't even get me started on Outcast.

This does seem to be the case.
I just caught up with episode 9 and was reading a Japanese blog for theories and clues I missed. The blogger had a pretty brilliant theory, though maybe other people have thought of the same thing. I dunno if it's been mentioned in these threads before.
Bag is not actually a human. She's a Friend of a human.
In episode 9 they reveal that Friends are made when Sandstar comes in contact with "an animal or something that used to be an animal". They mentioned Giant Penguin, who was presumably born from Sandstar coming in contact with a fossil.
We know Raccoon is looking for her hat, which she believes Bag stole. Bag seems to have just shown up wearing that hat. Note that the hat is also pretty beat-up looking, with a bunch of holes and all. They also mention at a couple points that Bag was "born during this year's eruption." If she was a real human, then that wouldn't make sense.
Her knowledge of human culture also seems inconsistent. She knows how to read, she knows about clothes, but there are a bunch of other obvious things she doesn't know about (I'm forgetting some of the details the blogger brought up).
She also appears to be a bit sturdier than a human should be, surviving in the snowy mountain biome for quite a while before remarking that "it's kind of cold", and also being flung a good distance by Hippo in episode 1.
Anyway, the main point of the theory: Bag was born when Sandstar came into contact with a bit of human hair that was still stuck to Raccoon's hat. That's why the hat looks so old, that's why Bag seems oblivious to the fact that she "stole" the hat from Raccoon, that's why Bag seems a bit sturdier than a human should be, that explains how a supposedly extinct human suddenly popped up in Japari Park with no memory of her life, but peculiar bits of specific knowledge about being human. It's because Friends are born with a sort of "genetic knowledge" of their lives as animals.
>So, you want a comfy, slice-of-life show... that's completely off the wall and set in the post apocalypse?
>>154540486
Friends have enough taste to know that you shouldn't try to fix what's not broken.
>>154540707
I don't understand.
>>154540256
Alpaca always makes me smile.
>>154540742
But all Friends seem to remember their previous lives as Animals. Wouldn't Kaban be able to remember her life as a Human if she's a Friend of a Human? This part makes the theory inconsistent, she should be able to remember as everyone else does.
>>154540727

>>154540796
Friends from fossils/corpses might not remember their lives.

>>154540742

Are you actually fucking kidding me? People have been calling Kaban being a Human Friend god knows how many episode ago.
In fact, that's one of the theories that /a/ nearly unanimously agreed with after the end of episode 9 in its livestream thread. It really isn't as brilliant as you think it is.

>Bag is not actually a human. She's a Friend of a human.
Welcome to the episode 2 theory thread, anon. Nice to have you finally catch up with the rest of us.
>>154540796
This may not be canonically accurate given what they revealed about the Sandstar and Ceruleans in the last episode but I like to think what they have is a genetic memory of their species' behavior, and not necessarily the memories of a specific individual.
>>154540858
Well that's why I said I just caught up.
>>154540839
Ibis has empty eyes and remembers her animal life.
The issue of the empty eyes also goes against the idea of Kaban being a Friend created from human remains. Every extinct animal Friend has empty eyes, but Kaban doesn't.
Some people seem to assume that they only have empty eyes if they know they're extinct, which is why Kaban's aren't empty, but in that case most of them wouldn't have empty eyes since they wouldn't remember their former lives anyway.
There's also cases like Australian Devil, which has empty eyes even though it's just a Tasmanian Devil fossil from mainland Australia, and the actual Tasmanian Devil Friend doesn't have empty eyes (and, yes, both of those have made cameos in the anime).
>>154540742
bruh
>>154540985
no
>>154540955
However, in spite of saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if Kaban really is created from human remains. There'd be no point in bringing that up in the first place if they aren't going in that direction. I just don't think it fits well with how the Friends are designed and presented.
>>154540985
>>154540742
all cases of Friends made from extinct creatures have no highlights to their eyes - see aurochs, toki, etc.
humans can't be extinct, because kaban's eyes have highlights.
>>154540051
Interesting that the most popular age groups are 20-34. Probably older than your average anime fan in the west I think. I assumed as much to be honest and I think that older appeal might explain to some extent these threads as compared to others on the board.

>>154541149
I tend to just relax and enjoy the experience while I'm watching, and avoid spoilers and theories until I get caught up, so I often miss "obvious clues" until they're formally revealed. Definitely want to rewatch the series from the beginning, paying more attention to the details.

It's from greek philosophy.

This is where we get words like "psychosomatic".
Tangentially, absolutely nothing in SOMA is in any way new. Its core twist has been done many times before, in movies likeThe Prestigeand most recently inChristopher Brookmeyer's Bedlam

>Well, the crested ibis isn't quite extinct yet, according to Wikipedia. But that's an interesting detail I never noticed.
Crested Ibis is basically a situation similar to Australian/Tasmanian Devil. The original Japanese ones are extinct (and the site specifically calls her "Japanese" Crested Ibis) with the surviving ones originating from China.
There's enough of a distinct made in Japan they've preserved genetic material of the last Japanese ones hoping to inseminate the ones brought from China in order to bring back the native line one day.

On a fine day, you are spending your time stroking your yellow furred cat.
Then suddenly, a sudden knock was heard from the front door.
One of your family members opened the door.
BANG!
Your family member lied on the floor, screaming in pain.
A girl wearing a red shirt , a tattered hat and a bag entered your home.
She was holding Japari Bun with her mouth.
She proceed to reload her shotgun.
Another one of your family member rushed to her.
Surprised, she dropped her bun.
BANG!
No one mess with her bun.
She reloaded her shotgun as she approached you.
BANG!
You lied on the floor in pain.
She took out a black marker a wrote a large M on the cat's forehead.
She then whispered to it's ears.
"We friends now. You can ride my Japari Bus all night long."
She grabbed the cat and rubbed it's belly.
"Welcome to the Japari Park."
Your vision blurred as the girl walked away.
Using all of the strength you've had left, you asked.
"B-but why tho?"
She turned to you with a large sinister smile on her face.
"Because IT IS SO TANOSHII"

I fucking love pumpkin. All you need to do is cut it up and shove it in the oven. I ain't a co/ck/, not by a long shot, but they had a whole bunch of veggies there to chose from. Considering they also had curry spices, they must've had others as well so you could make some great dishes with those. Some oil would've been great though. All those taters could've been made into fries with so little effort, but hey, they can still mash them I guess.

Serval comes back from the shore along. Everyone wants to know what happened and where Bag-chan is.All she says is, "The world is hollow and I have touched the sky."
I won't make it. Please help.
>>154543791
I still don't see instant ramen on the table.
>>154543821
Well that's pretty instant at least.
>>154543574
If those purple things are sweet potatoes then a fire is all she needs to make a very oishii snack.
>>154542620
But that's an iguana

>"Well, darling, servals don't live as long as people do."

Green banana peels are so fresh and delicious!
T-this is right, right?
I know it's not the red ones, but I don't think Tsuchinoko ever says "It's bad if we don't leave the labyrinth quickly" and Arai isn't actually shown climbing the cliff..
>>154543922
That's weird, the alpaca info segment does talk about them having a herd leader like monkeys, though adds "they don't have to listen to it".
>>154542884youkoso
>>154543897
Lovely. We need to make that bird into a friend.
>>154543897
That's one of the funniest birds I've ever seen.
>>154543949
There's a scene when Arai-san climbs up and Fennec calls her while riding the cable car.
>>154543949
Third one's wrong. It's the one under it where Raccoon climbs.
>>154544059
>>154544075
Oh ok, I was skipping around but must have missed it.
>>154544022
Yeah, that one got me too. Maybe it's some small quirk that I missed.
>>154544022
The Alpace one is very deceiving. The person says essentially the same thing, but in slightly different wording.
Oh my God you guys I just realized
Japan + Safari = Japari
>>154544228
Congratulations, you're only what, ten weeks late?

A new discovery!

To be fair, Savanna Slug Friend is still stuck in episode 1.
>>154544228
Sugoiii! You must be Slowpoke, the slowpoke!
>>154544228
You must be a friend who's slow at understanding things!
>>154544228
Atarashii!
>>154544317
I don't think you can call travelling the continent while fighting the forces of evil with ごはん "stuck."
>>154544421
Can I put it into her butt?
>>154544356
>Slowpoke
>Slow poke
>Slow Pokemon
>>154538123
Nah, you just have to switch the whole site to Japanese, there's an option at the bottom of the page.
They won't let dirty gaijin watch official releases of anime, though.
>>154544467
>>154544467
Okay, this blew my mind for real.
>>154544518
This. You won't even get the proper tags for the video if you don't.
>>154544449
>it's male.
Now that we're on page 10 I just want to say that I'm having a lot of fun enjoying this show with you anons. It really makes me smile.
>>154544467
Wait, what was that site where you could put in a name and it would divide it into blocks and rearrange it to form some sort of hidden meaning? I want to see what it turns up for the Friends.
>>154544577
A butt has no gender.
>>154544579
But that's not how you start a shitpost. How do you expect anyone to call you a faggot after that?
>>154543821
God I want to feed serval so bad. My one regret from this episode is that they didn't show her eating the curry along with professor. I was so disappointed.
>>154544449
If gender does not matter, sure.

I want to put each penguin's head up the ass of the next one and create a penguin pentagon or pen-pen.

Serval is the master of all friends
>>154544754
Nice.

>>154544754
So... The Penguin Centipede?
Kaban = Bag
>>154544908
Yes, but it's a closed loop. An endless pentagonal penguin centipede.
>>154544577
But why would a boy wear clothes like that? I bet it's just a girl with short hair.
>>154544836
Oh, not that. I found it though.

>>154544923I just realized that Otter has a head like a happy meal because her animal ears are shaped like the tabs on a happy meal box.
>>154545010
You... have to lurk more often.
>>154545015
>friend = talent
Really makes me think.
>>154545015
???
>>154544228
Is that what it meant?
>>154545015
Makes sense.
Started watching this with my daughter. She asked me why Otter isn't wearing pants.
>>154545088
>>154545181
You can't swim with pants.
>>154545045
The phrase existed before Kemono Friends.
http://netyougo.com/slang/14793.html
>>154545015
Don't type in Toki
>>154545227
That's a good answer. I just told her some animals don't wear pants, like Donald Duck.
>>154545241
Penetration Penguin!
>>154542749
Of course. She runs a cafe on top of a mountain and if friends with Toki.
>>154533420
Those buns are a happy meal.

Don't worry, she has a cloaca.
Why do people keep calling Alpaca a Llama.
I told you she was a girl!
>>154539441
I can't believe Serval is fucking fed!
What have I unleashed
>>154543897
Holy shit it sounds just like Toki
I actually thought that was her voicing it at first
>>154539441
The arrow saying she's cute makes me smile.
