I can't believe I watched a cat do nothing for 7 hours behind an endless stream of text from a language I don't understand and enjoyed every second of it.
This was brought up a few threads ago but everyone was sharing their Myers-Briggs types and comparing them to the friends. I created a new strawpoll to tally up the types.

If you die in Canada you reincarnate as a bag.
>>154763451
You understood enough. You know that it's a lot of su-goi and ta-noshii.
Has this show spurred an increase of Japanese zoo revenue? I'd think with 120k stream watchers that there'd be a lot of people actually visiting them as well.
Would be a bit double-sided since zoos kind of suck for animals too.
>>154763489
Yeah, there was a segment on NHK talking about it.

The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
Taken straight from wikipedia, this website does a decent test: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test.
Friendly reminder that Kaban is an asshole.
>>154763519
It's just an internet trend, think something like horoscopes. They take surveys of different personality types then assign names to them and add some extra pseudo-intellectual descriptions. They can be moderately accurate, but not explicitly anything to base your thoughts on.

So someone explain it to me... I was told this show is somehow post-apocalyptic? From what I can gather, human died out and now there are only the animal characters?
I can't get past the first episode, I've tried twice. Suffice to say its just not for me.
Still, I'm curious, especially since its somehow become popular. What exactly is compelling about this show? Moe is all I can figure. Is that it?

They experience a wide range of emotions and tend to be success-driven, perfectionistic and eager to improve. They are also more willing to change jobs if they feel stuck in their current one and to spend time thinking about the direction in which their life is going.

Also, have this.I know there's an anime version somewhere, but I don't have it...
>>154763863
Naruto is popular because it appeals to a demographic very strongly, mostly males, especially young men.
I'm just kind of baffled because it doesn't appeal to me personally and to my knowledge, its popular with older viewers than its apparent target.
I see a lot of buzz around it and was interested, but simply can't get into it. So I wonder why you guys, the fans, enjoy it.Someone said it was memes and reddit popularity in another thread, but I'm fairly certain they were shitposting.

They're extinct, so she could not have been made from a living animal. The point being that this is possible.
>>154764111
She's an extinct animal. She became a friend by sandstar reacting with giant penguin's bones. Aurochs is also an extinct animal who became a friend through the same mean.

Probably not, though.

I looked into it and there's a new version: https://twitter.com/ENTPer_MBTIwiki/status/843088925128249344
INFP has changed from Beaver to Toki.
>>154764472
Oh no, I was a Beaver and now I'm a Toki.
Oh well.. that's fine too.
>>154764500
I do feel that loneliness from time to time, but I'd be too shy to try singing my tune as Toki does.
>>154764472
How is Toki introverted?
>>154764472
Thanks for the updated version! I'll make sure to use is in later threads if I do another MBTI.
>>154764025
The reason I enjoy it is mostly what >>154763920
said, add to that the glorious fanart that's flowing in.
That said if you have watched enough CGDCT shows you should be aware that different shows of the same kind appeal to different people, even in the most narrowly defined subgenre there are some shows I like and some I don't. Appeal is entirely subjective.
But ep.1 is the weakest, so if you're willing you should apply the three-episodes-rule.
>>154764541
Introversion doesn't mean that you couldn't deal with people. It's just that you don't really feel more energetic from being exposed to people. You kind of expand your enthusiasm and then you need the "me time" to recharge.
Although I don't know if Toki is like that.
Birbs.
>>>/wsg/1583181
>>154764632
Human being extinct is ep7 and ep4. What Tsuchinoko said to Kaban was "so you aren't all extinct". It was a mistranslation by CR.
Toki in Beaver's former spot doesnt make sense to me. Toki is willing to let others hear her singing and is outgoing, unlike Beaver who is shy and doubtful of her own abilities.
>>154764154
>>154764129
>>154764152
Oh, I'm a fucking moron. I had seen Mine Yoshizaki's picture of her here >>154764150 and I had assumed that it was a living creature, I had never even considered the idea that a species of penguins were extinct.
>>154763463
>>154764472
I'm the fat snek and I don't agree with it!
>>154764690
I don't really think that being an introvert means that you are shy and totally withdrawn at all. Having said that, Toki doesn't look as if she's constantly engaged in self-doubt and self-reflection that would be stereotypical INFP behavior, which you see with Beaver rather painfully.
This Serval MMD model is the best. Really just like anime version. Also the motion is superb.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm30853833
I now know which friend is either Introverted or Extroverted.
But who isPerverted friends?
>>154763807
Personal opinion here. Feel free to hate, feel free to judge me, feel free to add-on.
Also, bad english.
Nowadays anime lacks adventure. Even if there is adventure, it's hardly to a place that is environmentally different. Kemono friends always brings the viewers to places that are quite different from each other.
Nowadays anime also lacks innocence and a wide range of personalities. Due to this, the interactions between each characters in Kemono Friends are always fun despite the silliness.

>>154764858
The friends making Kemono Friends just have other good points!
>>154764824
The problem with a lot of anime is that pretentious behavior and being so trapped with highschool setting or merely copying other cliche. Slice of life, CGDCT or Isekai, battle shounen or harem have become just one fixed formula.
Serval and Kaban are really refreshing as lead characters, and the friends that they run into are all unique characters. The characters and a very focused plot along with subtle worldbuilding have all made this show into a success that nobody was expecting it to be.
Are there nay good t-pose or reference pictures of Kaban? I want to try my hand at making my own model.

>>154764921
What you should remember is that Gray wolf hasn't lied at all. The wolf really hasn't cried wolf because her words are true when you consider what has actually happened in the game.

That said you can put 1+1 together. The biggest reason why I think they went extinct is how they abandoned a bustling japari park filled with cute and extinct friends. Presently the park is entirely run by friends and unattended faulty robots.

Toki is not an autist, delet this

I guess that's not much help then.
>>154764824
I see what you mean about anime lacking adventure. I'm inclined to agree.
I also see what you mean when you say there is a lack of innocence (a lot of anime is tagret to an older audience, despite the visuals) and personality in characters, since a lot of characters play off or follow genre cliches and stereotypes. So I can see why if you find that in this anime it would appeal to you.
I don't however. Maybe if I watch more the strengths will become more apparent. We'll see.
>>154765025
Working on it.
>>154765050
There do seem to be a number of hints interspersed in the episodes.
Si far I've only watched two episodes, so I don't know about all the other hints.
Also
>extinct friends
Are the animals extinct IRL or in the show? Because if its just in the show, that would be an indication that something happened prior or parallel to the park's opening i.e. the creation of a sanctuary preceding an extinction event.
Some parting thought. In ep4, the little blue robot refers to animals and "friends" separately when playing the pre-recorded message, which indicates that humans knew about the hybrid friends characters. So were they invented by humans? Are they an attraction to help park visitors learn more about animals? Are they robots?
Besides that, there is also the fact that the robot only talks to the human character, which is in line with the other hints that this is an amusement park.
Interesting. The more I watch and think about all this, the more curious I am. Is this the secret appeal of the show?

>>154765031
Oh yeah there's also the author's other work, Higurashi.
>>154765226
Now that you mention it. It really got extremely popular despite it's quality.
If the island is simply just like a big zoo amusement park thing, couldn't the humans have just said fuck it and went back to the mainland? Like that island in New York that was abandoned and quarantined. Though then the question arises what did it mean by saying there's something important underground?

>>154765000
But that's wrong. The point is that drawing skill isn't the only thing that matters. ZUN's art might kind of suck, but that doesn't mean 2hu games are low quality.
>>154765062
Tsuchinoko had shine in her eyes too so I think the artist just wasn't given the extinction memo.
>>154764472
Oh man I'm a bag.

He hasn't draw breaking friend's mind and turning them into cumdumpsters which he's so fond of drawing.

Eh, sorry if you misinterpret. When I meant by less quality I meant by the drawing.

My heart. She's so frail here, I'm overwhelmed by the desire to protect her.
>>154765573
I'd wager that all voice actresses cry doing the last episode. I've spent enough time with actors on closing night to see what they're like.
>>154765518
NOO I want happy times not sad times.Though maybe it'll feel good to experience a real emotion again.
>>154765518
They also said episode 11 will be canceled because of a tsunami and nuclear powerplant meltdown.
>>154765586
it's an old version mate, see >>154764472

Time to prepare your tissues.

please stop the sad
>>154765518
STOP
You know the impact of the last episode is now gimped since she spilled the beans that it was gonna be SAD FUCK I DONT WANT THIS WE SHOULD JUST TANOSHII FOREVER
DO NOT MOLEST OR MAKE SERVAL CRY
$500 FINE
>>154765518
I'm sure everything will be fine.
>>154765787
Nope. It's only making me screw bloody 5 minutes in my brain.

Super legit.
>>154765787
It could just be a goodbye ending. I'm expecting a "Kaban sails off into the sunset" over "Serval fucking dies".
there's a ball on her head.

That's a blue-tongue, anon. I have them in my backyard.
>>154765558

Fixed
>>154765867
Oh, that explains it.
>>154765799
I don't really mind if something sad happens as long as it doesn't break the possibilities of a second season honestly.
>>154765825
Serval dies on the way back to her home planet.
Did they ever do a technical blog on how they make the show? What is the framerate the show runs at? Like 6?

This is an OCR I did of an interview on a magazine about the technicalities of how they produce the CG. It's this one where the famous "Ceruleans eating a friend that got cut" picture comes from.
>>154766081
Oh for pete's sake. Kemono Friends is actually going for AOTY. Fuck.
>>154765996
Sorry, 6days and 20 minutes. It will be on 25 mar.
>>154766090
No, the Cerulean Queen became Kaban
>>154766052
I will riot if anything bad happens to Kaban or Bossu. I love them so much. I already know nothing bad will happen to Serval or other friends.
>>154766090
>>154766111
Cerulean queen took Kako's sparkle (knowledge and whatnot) and she went into hyperevolution but ended up devolving when she's defeated in the game.
interesting
>>154765815
don't die out there
also take plenty of pictures and share it in kemono threads
I think Kaban is close to being Kako than Mirai, since Mirai has green hair.
>>154766140
Didn't she end up stuck in larval form in the game?
Meme sweater.
>>154763463

Kako and Kaban's hair color is exactly the same.
>>154766242
That little sequence was so good. It's part of when I started thinking "maybe there's something to this" when I was watching.
Captain here. Remember Kemono friends will end in two weeks. You will never experience this live excitement that only a truly great show gives you while on airing. Lower your IQ as minimum as possible. And enjoy this moment of your life with gratitude!
>Kemono Friends is going to be the greatest and most prolific piece of modern tragedy theatre to exist
I'm not ready.
Do you think this show somehow endorses bestiality?
>>154766314
わからん
>>154766340
No. It questions the definition of humanity on the other hand.
>>154766314
I'm so, so happy I got to experience this all live. I'm sure there will come bingers afterwards who will enjoy it too but nothing will compare to watching this show unfold and the whole phenomenon explode live.
I haven't had this much fun watching something weekly live sinceGurren Lagann. Log Horizon comes close, too.
>>154766103
Looking at google translate there's some really interesting stuff in this interview but I won't post it here because I can't trust it. Anybody up for properly translating it? >>154766105
speculah thinks that the island that Kaban's map is showing isn't Australia, but rather Pangaea.
>>154766407
So Kemono Friends is set in the world after Leviathan destroyed everything in Muromi-san?
>>154766390This is my first time following 4chan threads for an airing show and I feel like I've missed out on a lot now.
>>154766407
That fucking tag man. If you want the speculation from nips that's where it is.
>>154765518
She cried because of how touching the happy ending was, r-right guys?Please, Kaban and Serval don't deserve sad ending. That would be so cruel.
>>154766390
Then you watched the wrong shows. We had a fun ride almost every year.
>>154766363
2deep4me
i'll just stay tanoshii
へき、へき!
>>154766464
She cried because she will never voice act a character as popular as Serval again and it's her first ever proper role
Last episode,
Kaban becomes the cerulean queen and devoured Serval, while crying.
Serval comfort's Kaban while being eaten.
Kaban repeatedly saying I'm sorry.
Servals final words being "I'm glad I've met you."
>>154766407
That's one big island.
>>154766407
We thought the show was in the far future.
But instead it was in the far past.
The ancient abkani civilization built the park and let loose the sandstar!
Why are these penguins so gay?

>>154766464
>She cried because of how touching the happy ending was
Anon, there is a reason why there is a tons of crying serval fanart on the net. Expect the worse
すごーい!
2月6日に何が起こったの?
>>154766498
If anything the Cerulean Queen would become Kaban. One of the main features of Ceruleans in the game is to steal others characteristics.
>>154766390
There are other recent wild rides too, I remember fondly of DR3 even it was shit.
>>154765518
A Nanashi's report of today's radio event from 2ch Kemono thread.
・The box the owl gave to Kaban seems to be a key item.
・Nobody knows friends live as long as human or original animals. It will remain a mystery.
・The VA of Serval cried really hard when she read the scenario of the last episode in her room.
>>154766517
Yuri keeps them warm in the cold winters.
This is excellent.
>>154766552
Serval climbs up the Sandstar too much
>>154766476
Nothing has particularly interested me in the past couple years besides Jojo (which I'm perfectly content to watch on my own and avoid the threads) and Flying Witch, which was fairly tame. Tried getting into Flip-Flappers and it just couldn't hold me despite its appealing look, which is a shame I think.
>>154766550
Welp, I guess tanoshii times are over.
Last episode.
Kaban realizes that she can find no friend among human beings. Yet there's no comfort upon returning to Japari park, for those friends she made there are gone. All that she could do is to make new friends.
>>154766589
For JoJo it's certainly best to avoid the threads, they're some of the worst on /a/. Wasn't a fan of Flip Flappers either. ConRevo is probably the most recent show I really enjoyed watching with /a/.

>You're wrong!
>What!?
>I'm the Human Friend, Homo Sapiens Sapiens.. Kaban desu! And I am from..... the Savannah Area! I'll show you the pride.. of Savannah Area Friends!
Man it sure has been a while. Life finally caught up to me even for if for just a moment.

fugg
>>154766550
B, But Serval-chan said she would live together with Kaban-chan just like beaver and prairie dog!
>>154766604
Kaban and Serval got into an argument where Serval does not want Kaban to leave. In the end, Kaban left the park without telling Serval, leaving her with a bit of bitterness and regret. As Kaban went through her back, she found a crumpled paper plane and a Japari Bun in her back. She opened the paper and saw a message which reads "It was fun.".
Kaban's tears flows out as she eats the bun.
>>154766776
We know you were having sloppy makeouts with color-kun behind the bleachers.
>>154766740
Who's that Friend?
Ah but I do hope my lovely color anon is still here to catch me when I fall.
>>154766529
It blew up on Pixiv and Nico. I was going to skip the show entirely but it got so popular art-wise I picked it up.
It's okay, they're definitely tears of joy and relief. Remember in this next episode we're meeting Brown Bear and maybe some other hunter unit friends. They surely won't let anything bad happen.
>>154766794
I don't often read a post that makes me want to physically destroy the person that wrote it, but
>>154766550
Looks like I'm gonna cry really hard too. I now have that feeling like someone who really close and dear to me are in hospital and you fear for the worst, but really hope for the best.

Kaban is the second coming of Mitochondrial Eve isn't she? I remember this speculah by the nips where Kaban is retracing the history of humanity in this journey with Serval.
>>154766801
>>154766776
DRAWFAG KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>154766550
Maybe she was crying because it was a really good ending.
Maybe nothing goes wrong at all and this is all just a 100% good end.
This show should've taught you all by now to stay optimistic...
Yeah
>>154766817
I know, my english is bad.
>>154766529
Yeah it caught fire just before ep5 aired.
>>154766791
Serval is a liar, anon.
>>154766876
It's Kaban's fault for teaching her how.
>>154766791
>trusting a cerulean and a dorobo neko
Such a gullible friend
>>154766801
>>154766776
Brilliant as always.
>make new discovery
>first thought is how you want to tell your best friend about it
It is not permissible to split Kaban and Serval up at the end of this series. I do not allow it.
Anon, I finally understand. This show is that your dog who loves you unconditionally. When you talk to your dog, you lowered your intelligence and talk like a kid yourself. Just like while watching this show. This is the secret of Kemono friends' charm.
When will the tanoshii come back?
Keep it all safe.
Tatsuki says that they are making works that will make everyone happy
>>154766916
That's not it at all.
>>154766916
Until you realize that your dog's actually a hell lot wiser than you've ever assumed before. You've been under the dog's care all along.
>>154766917
It's never left. Giraffe and wolf were tanoshii as fuck. It's just mixed with more seriousness now.
I wish there was more good fan art of giraffe I loved her but she doesn't seem to be getting much.
>>154765518
I should not have read that. Welp, the next few weeks are ruined.
>>154766916
There's a whole lot more to it than that, but let's all stick around for the tanoshii and not the psych101 course
Kemono Friends is meta-moe.
>>154766965
There's a lot of under-represented friends. I don't think I've seen any art of White Rhino or Black Bear
>>154766529

This.
Last scene will be Kaban sailing away on the boat.
Everyone will wave to her from the docks.
Serval will be shown with her eyes just offscreen.
She stops waving, and lowers her head slightly.
Then she takes off and starts to run.. run.. run..
She reaches the end of the dock and...
>SERVAL JUUUUUUUUMP
>*thud*
>"Like I thought, I'm really curious, so.. I'll go with you.. just a little while longer!"ok we'll have to do something about the "friends revert when leaving the park" deal, but I'm sure we'll come up with something. maybe sandstar has spread through the whole planet since the timeskip and now it's.. Japari World
>>154766930
I just have faith in him
>>154766552
So one of those 4 Servals is a cerulean, right?Which one?
>>154766776
>>154766801
I've been waiting for this.
Go ham.
>>154765518
>>154766550
This is all an elaborate PR campaign so we expect the worst, but will love the inevitable happy ending even more because of this wrong expectation.
Ra ra ra ra
Ra ra ra ra
Oh goodbye from the Japari Park~
>>154767018
There's no way to tell.

>>154766930

But why?
>>154767018
I just can't tell!
>>154767018
The one on the right is Cerval from the game who is a Cerulean serval but her and Serval become tomodachi after a while because no one can dislike serval. Oh wait you're being a happy meal.
>>154767077
Autist is spot on but calling Jaguar retarded and Tsuchinoko a genius is a bit contrived
>>154767000
You should try looking then.
Tatsuki has been making Kemono friends frantically for over 500 days in a tiny room at the second floor of this building in Tokyo.
I really hope he gets rich by this show's success.

I think it's the other way around. Jaga is the meme.

>>154767049
Those two are weird
>>154767117
He posted once on twitter saying he went to a conbini and an ad for Kemono Friends was on the TV in there and he felt super self conscious.
I just binge read the available chapters of the manga

I hope him and the rest of the studio understand that most people actually genuinely like the show despite the budget constraints. I just don't want them to think they're the butt of a joke or something
>>154767076
Or the music box version, those always sound sad
>>154767117
Are you kidding me? I hang out right around the corner from there every week. I don't know what he looks like but it's entirely possible I might run into him.
There will be casualties when the last episode is aired.

We currently have six submissions.
>>154767240
I wonder how much money they will make from it though. They aren't on the production committee so won't be profiting directly from any merch or discs. Maybe they get a small cut of disc sales for being the creators of the material though. The greatest benefit for them is that they'll probably never want for business again.
>>154767047
Not that anon, but some shows have dedicated meetings for fans and devs where they can ask questions and westerners mostly don't even know about them.
>>154766776
>>154766801
Are you actually fucking kidding me? You're still fucking alive? Here I was having the time of my life having nothing to do because you just upped and disappeared on my ass. Shit was so great too.
Thought I'd have a bit more time alone now I have to fucking color your garbage again. Is that right? Yeah that's right. Fuck it. I'll do it.
>>154766908
I didn't realize how much i like Kaban.
>>154767304
I wonder if they would have ever taken on the Kemono Friends project if Ishidate never left the studio and if Ishidate is a little bit jealous of their success without him.
>>154767319
>a show like this is gonna make me cry soon
>>154767047
They do a radio show twice weekly that anyone can watch online. If I understood Japanese well enough I'd be on it too.
>>154767319
>tsundere color friend in full blast
Every. Time.
>>154767304
>The greatest benefit for them is that they'll probably never want for business again.
I don't understand this statement.
>>154767339
Probably but Ishidate sounded like an as/mean spirited personality wise and it shows somewhat with Tesabu. I dont think a KF with Ishidate would be good.
>>154767319
>>154767319
And all is right with the world.
>>154767333
She's an ideal MC, and the trio of Kaban, Serval, and Bossu make for a great core of characters. I really like all 3 of them. Even if Bossu isn't the only Bossu the one we've been following is special to me.
>>154767386
I mean that with huge success production committees looking to make a cheap anime will be queuing at their door to get them on their project. Ishidate seems like a bit of a selfish egotist not that I don't love his work.
>>154767319
Our old threads are back. Thanks gay faggots.
>>154767319
Holy shit. I can't believe their romantic shenanigans weren't in the KF threads for a whole week.
No wonder I felt something was missing.
Tick the bingo cards lads. Faggotry is back.
>>154767424
I hope he isn't going to die in episode 11.
I'm 3 episodes in and Serval fucking died
>>154767440
>>154767462
Back just in time. Those two anon are great friends.
>>154767493
>>154767424
bossu will be okay
no worry my friends
Kaban "What's the simulation thing?"
Agent "You were in a coma and all this Japari park was like a fake dream you watched for these twelve weeks."
>>154767514
Get used to it.
>>154767536
>SAO
>>154767514
KF gave me so many accents I never knew existed
Truly a show ahead of its time and budget
>>154767536
I think thats the only way for this to end that I absolutely could not forgive
よよよ
>>154767536
>the whole plot is just Kaban's imagination running wild as she watches Animal Planet shows
>>154767536
They are not going to use the tesabu trick again
>>154767601
ねねね
わーい! たーのしい!
>>154767493
Kaban didn't look so sad in the preview, so i doubt it was really a crater caused by Bossu.
やだ
If only it was possible to alter time to give KF an open end
>>154767608
>>154767710
She looks pretty concerned in the picture where he's glowing orange though.
>>154764127
It's too bad MMD spazzes out so hard on collisions. I know someone went about animating the first episode in it and it did look better for some scenes.
>>154767022
We are on the inevitable collision course and no one can get off from it.
>>154767608
Kaban is just the Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes
when did jaguar say wakaran? can't seem to find it on ep 2
>>154767727
I wouldn't hate that ending too much really because it'd keep the overarching innocence of the show and no bad events would actually happen. What's more pure than a little kid having fun imagining things?Especially if the show she's watching is Crocodile Hunter and they throw in a nod to Steve
>>154767824
wakaran...
>>154767798
I'm ready for tears of either happiness or despair
>>154766550
I'm usually apathetic about anime plots, but if this gets a sad final episode it will be like watching Mahoromatic all over again.
>>154767824

>>154768215
No, separating kaban and serval is literally a crime
Does Bossu have some level of sentience? He does seem to portray emotions sometimes, though that could just be the cutesy styling of the show.

>>154768219
Unease. I don't know where the plot could go from here if they do a direct continuation. The outside world doesn't deserve anything more than a passing mention. The idea of Bag going out there to find humans is incredibly dull. The appeal of the series is the park and friends, who theoretically wouldn't exist off the island. But what's there left to do on the island? If they're going for a downer ending, it'll be hard to reel that back into a slice of life. I don't want them to invent some brand new threat and ditch Bag's existential crisis either. A direct sequel will probably mean the ending to this just didn't resolve anything. If the anime does continue, I'd want it to be a spiritual sequel or starring other characters.

>>154768388
I don't think it'd be so hard to continue.
First part, if Kaban realize that her place is with her friends and the whole problem with Sandstar and Cerulean still remain, the season 2 will delve more deeply with the whole world setting as Kaban's adventure takes her to meet marine friends as other friends take more aggressively to the administration of the park.
Part 2. Oinari-sama in the game worked with the park staff and with friends to contain the Cerulean Queen, and the 4 gods were protectors that you had to beat before they join your party. S2 would allow more exploration into how UMA and cryptids play into the future of the park and of the friends.
Third point. There's a whole can of worm that's been blown wide open already from Lucky Beast's recording of Mirai and that other Serval, and significant human link to the park has to be addressed. S2 will force Kaban into the role of a mediator in this sense, even if she were to come across surviving park staff. The situation will be even worse if Kako's story back in the game actually gets picked up by the anime again, since Kaban and Serval would have the weight of recovering the shine for comatose friends if that were the case.

The setting done by Yoshizaki Mine is thorough. There's a good amount of worldbuilding and quite a few elements of game lore are introduced in the anime.
>>154768612
It'll get even more blown up if elements from the collaboration with Keroro Gunso and GiTS make it to the anime. Just the part about alien beings and AI turning into friends in the Japari Park exclusion zone would last more than just one arc.
The thing that I absolutely don't want with S2 is to have the game park director (the player) being introduced.

It did this by befriending you. Serval and Kaban have become your friends, anon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWH_9VRWn8Y
Friend threads for the last few days have not been tanoshii. The last thing that I want to see is "I can't believe that Serval is fucking dead for real" in come ep12.

>>154768841
Which is all the more surprising as I dropped the show after only a few minutes of the first episode due to the CG. I did pick it back up again after it started to take off.
I suppose you're right anon. They did become my friends at some point. Now I just want them to be happy. I want their journey to continue until it's final end of happiness.
>>154768952
I'll be bathing in my own tears, nenene.
>>154768952
I'll accept a separation ending IF and ONLY IF the entire plot of season two is about them trying to get back together.

>It'll get even more blown up if elements from the collaboration with Keroro Gunso and GiTS make it to the anime. Just the part about alien beings and AI turning into friends in the Japari Park exclusion zone would last more than just one arc.
Nah, that'd take out the focus from the animal stuff.
Heck, even back with the game, although the Keroro collaboration was considered a success and they published how the game got to 300k users during it (from 200k previously, this is unique users though, not active users which likely was much smaller), no numbers were ever given for the Ghost in the Shell stuff and they did no collaborations at all after it.
>>154768903

>>154766946
Reminder that the bond between dog and man is REAL.
>Human-like modes of communication, including mutual gaze, in dogs may have been acquired during domestication with humans. We show that gazing behavior from dogs, but not wolves, increased urinary oxytocin concentrations in owners, which consequently facilitated owners’ affiliation and increased oxytocin concentration in dogs. Further, nasally administered oxytocin increased gazing behavior in dogs, which in turn increased urinary oxytocin concentrations in owners. These findings support the existence of an interspecies oxytocin-mediated positive loop facilitated and modulated by gazing, which may have supported the coevolution of human-dog bonding by engaging common modes of communicating social attachment.
When you look into your doggo's eyes, it falls in love with you, and vice versa.
>>154768952
I haven't cried in around 12 years but I think I would cry about this, yeah. Something happening to Bossu would cause it too I think.I'm also not exaggerating.
>>154769168
Bossu is just a robot, anon. There are plenty just like him, all equally soulless and without any emotions at all.
>>154768388
Kaban goes off the Island finds humans they decide to go back to the park to reopen it and eliminate the Cerulean threat? It's a recurring event in the franchise and they could get the off island part done in not too many episodes. It depends how it ends really Kaban may never even leave the island.
>>154769233
But that Bossu is the only Bossu who has been together with Kaban and Serval
>>154769233
>soulless
I wouldn't expect you to understand. Everyone overlooks him as being an important character, but not me.
Not like anything actually bad will happen to Serval or Kaban, but Bossu might not have plot protection.
>Ehhh, so Human Friends live in the Savanna area too? Sugoooi!

Miracle of Kemono friends:
・Anime staff is only ten people.
・Tatsuki's first title as director. He does everything except voice acting. Devoted himself to Kemono friends over 500 days on end.
・The budget was so low that even the wheels of the bus don't spin.
・Mobage, Manga, cafe, goods etc, everything collaborated was already finished before anime airing.
・They have to change all VA from Mobage due to mysterious reason. Serval's VA is almost literally who level obscure girl.
...And everything went well. Became AOTS big hit in Japan.
>>154769322
It's a Christmas miracle.
Jesus this show exploded in popularity. Dont think I seen something grow so fast
I can't imagine any ending with humans being satisfying whatsoever. Finding adults like Mirai or any descendants depending on how much time has passed or whatever to fix things would just rob Kaban of her agency and relevance. And if it's just a case of regular life is continuing as normal outside of the island, that's even more flat and boring.
The only way it could maybe work is if Kaban discovers the humans are in an unreachable place (offworld, etc) and can't get back until Kaban and the Friends figure out a way to save the day (thereby becoming the plot of S2). Maybe Mirai can communicate sporadically through Lucky Beast to give her advice but it's up to her to use her ingenuity to figure out how to save the park.
>>154769313
Yes, perfect.
>>154769242
>to reopen it and eliminate the Cerulean threat?
I think if people were capable of that it wouldn't be abandoned for decades. Unless Boss was just downplaying their understanding of it, they really don't have a clue how sandstar works. In that case the only way to stop Ceruleans would be some crazy plan to remove all inorganic objects. Depends on the state of the outside world too. But I'd argue that in reopening the park you lose a big part of the series in the "after humanity" vibes. Leaving it wild is for the best.
Just finished episode 10. Jesus this is the DEEPEST anime in this season.
I'm serious.
>>154769233
He reminds me of flood from super Mario sunshine for some reason
>>154769356
I think it's fine if humans are found and life is normal outside and don't think it robs Kaban of anything nessecarily.
>>154769392
Glad you finally came to realize this. This anime turns your brain into a happy meal for the first 6 episodes and then it takes off like a rocket.
>>154769313
I kind of want them to find a Lucky Beast Prime and hear him say something like
>About the territory of Human... Yes,
>Savannah, Jungle, Mountain, Desert, Forest, Plains, Lake, Ice Field...
>There is not a single place where Humans do not thrive.
>>154769297
>Boss explodes for masters
>Serval and Kaban "Boss!!!"
>Another Boss buries in the beach wakes up
>"Did you get hurt?"
I know this happens. This is called the Ghost in the shell method.
>>154769356
>>154769423
I got the funny feeling that Kaban may be getting that charm which the park director (player) received in the game, which greatly boost friends' offensive abilities so that they can go toe to toe against Ceruleans.
I don't know if Mirai has survived. The game has Kako in a coma due to Cerulean robbing her precious essence. Dealing with that alone would keep Kaban awfully busy.
>>154769387
I think that you shouldn't decide what wouldn't work until you actually see it and shouldn't cling too much to what your ideas of how the show should be so much that you'll dismiss things before they even come to pass. It's a way of thinking that can only lead to disappointment when your conception turns out to be different from the authors intent.
>>154769460
Not true. Human cannot thrive over the Antarctic nor over deep ocean where the Cetacean friends are.
>>154769506
Ocean maybe not, but they can do a pretty good job of staying alive in cold places if they have to.
>>154769322

>>154769322
is it selling well for real?
>Next episode they reveal that Kaban and Serval are in fact revived Mirai and Original Serval
>Ends in a Cerulean attack cliffhanger

>>154769522
Arctic environment? yeah. Not totally thriving, but getting by just around the arctic circle is doable. Where the Emperor penguins are though are not prime candidate for human to colonize.
>>154769541
Yes. It's the biggest anime of the season and everything sold out.
>>154769541
Anon it's the most successful show of the season by many times over. It could be huge in sales if it weren't for the fact that it's perpetually sold out as a result of low production of materials due to a lack of expectations of success.
>>154769541
Yes. The books keep getting sold out, the Kemono Friends CD is topping on Oricon chart and itunes.
>>154769541
How gullible can you be?
It has been the top seller in amazon for months now

>>154769541
Yes and the best part is that stalker doesn't track it.
God bless.
>>154769473
That would make me less sad, like the entire park AI network is Boss. As long as the stuff our Bossu has been through isn't just erased, because none of this adventure would've been possible without him.
>>154769597
Well, the fact that Kemono Friends don't really get sold as DVD/BD and is instead sold as book screw with any attempt to rank it. It's a good thing really.

>>154769597
Doesn't stop some people from going into the stalker threads and swinging their dicks about it.
>>154769597
>and the best part is that stalker doesn't track it.
This is such a best part that it deserves repeating.
What happens when Kaban and Serval meets the Cerulean that Mirai couldn't defeat
>>154769541
>>154769604
I wouldn't rule out that the Lucky Beast may be one of a kind among the other beasts. It could very well have been Mirai's personal one-off as it suffers unique water damage, forcing those Mirai recordings to be unique, so whatever info that's on Lucky beast would be irreparably lost if it goes under.
>>154769584
It's probably going to have pretty low first week sales though. The reason it's always sold out is they simply only made a very small number of copies like what happened with the OP single which only sold 1000 first week.
>>154769593
I've been looking for this
i think the full version of this is on twitter, anyone have that?
>>154769322
>They have to change all VA from Mobage due to mysterious reason
About that, The friends have different VAs because they're in a different generation from the game and most of the first gens are presumed dead by the ceruleans or MIA.
>>154769644
Anime ends.
I want to see Serval's seiyuu again, she's great.

>>154769623

>>154769693
Ceruleans have never been shown to kill anything in the franchise ever. The idea that they're killed is wild speculation.
>>154769693
We're probably on 2nd or 3rd gen where only first gen ever met human
>>154769738
It's always implied. They have rendered Kako into a comatose state and they did rob Serval's memories.
>>154769541
Consider the following,
It's so popular that its 1st episode's play count beat S1 Konosuba's 1st episode play count from since it first came out, in just half a season.
>>154769689
It's probably still more than anything else this season. Remember GuP? They ran out of copies as well and the sales stuck at nearly 30k that's where the small number of production is.
>>154769738
Nice damage control Cerulean.
I wonder what happened to the friend scream at the end of ep1? Where did she go eh? Inside the cerulean I bet.
>>154769644
I don't think Mirai would've had hunter friends to help her yet, right?
>>154769767
Dunno. Mirai should have more friends to call upon than Kaban.
>>154769754
It's never implied in anything. All they do in the game is steal memories, characteristics and skills. The worst effects that has had in anything one time is a coma.
>>154769692
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_0B-PNcA5E
The full song is here. No idea who is doing the MMD though
>>154769767
The hunters are probably what's left of Mirai's old group
>>154769803
Well, it's reasonable to guess that they may have died naturally too. We really have no idea how much time could have passed, or whether ther timelines are strictly linked at all.
>>154769766
We have no idea. Like I said speculation.
>>154769738

>>154769901
Let me give you my favorite pasta about it.
Stalker threads are like the biggest imaginary dickwaving contests on this fucking board -- a daily self-esteem check for idiots who have nothing better to do than to revalidate their tastes and shitfling with other people. And don't even get me started on 'b-but we're watching for trends' or 'w-we're talking about the industry'. No you're fucking not. You're all just deluding yourselves into thinking that a simple BD/DVD tracker, preorder tracker if I might add not even actual fucking sales, is somehow enough to supplement your already lacking ASSumptions over a sprawling industry of merchandise, flipfloppy sales trends, and publisher/producer juggling.
The worst part? It's god damn spammed almost every fucking day. I would at least give you idiots a chance if it was only a bi-weekly or even weekly thing but no. We need to have these shitposting generals everyday because it's so funny to reiterate what's already been said ad naeseum. It's so funny to surmise shit and pit fanbases against each other. Oh hahaha it's so fucking hilarious 'how do I read this xdddd?'. Fucking 10/10 discussion.
No. The cancerous mindset propagated by idiots circlejerking each other in these threads is even worse than the unbridled malignant AIDS generals produce. It's a congregation of clueless fuckwits trying to one up each other with baseless misinformation and petty superiority. There is nothing valuable about a thread that solely exists for mouthbreathing cockmonglers to shitpost in. Shitpost containment, I hear? Hell no. These cesspools are shitpost factories.
Come fucking back when the actual sales have been released and then maybe we can have actual meaningful shitfling and circlejerking over the most inane shit. I god damn doubt it.
>>154769960
Oh, I see. Thank you.
So this means that since it cannot be tracked by it, it will exempted of the usual shit flinging?
>>154769901
A tripfag.
>>154770005
No. It is not exempted at all. It's just that there isn't any data for useless dickwaving to rely on. Shitposts still flew like sewage water over this.
>>154770005
90% of the board outside of these threads is not aware KF exists, the remaining 10% is stuck in their "lol shit cg who'd watch this?? lma0" 0th level naruto neophyte stage and will not be able to appreciate it for another 15 years or so.
>>154769980
The only thing this makes me think is "so you'd rather have it the actual threads for shows?" Because it's going to happen either way.
>>154770034
Meanwhile they watch either konosuba which is forced QUALITY or Maidragon that just looks plain bad.
>>154764753
The MMD animation looks just wrong
Anon, I found a pic by which you can know if you are friends or not.
>>154765124
It's just Kaban-chan-kun
>>154770038
That's running under the assumption that the shitposters that stalker enables will flock to the numerous threads of other shows. It doesn't.
I am actually quite happy with the kind of discussions that we are having here over KF. It is a blessing that much of the anon audience at large and those sites that shall not be named have turned a blind eye to this anime, since we are actually having fun while discussing this instead of just wither in a pool of endlessly perpetuated shitposts. Daft provocateurs do come in, but they have bigger fish to catch than posters on KF threads.
>>154770133
If the threads were suddenly banned for example though the same discussion would still happen just in the threads for the shows themselves. I'm certain of that.
>>154770078
Friend, you should not hate other shows to love your favorite one. Nothing wrong with Konosuba and dragon maid. But this season Kemono friends is so out of league they look pale compared with it.
>>154770209
It's not that liking one makes it impossible to like the others. I personally don't like either of them for several reasons but I don't begrudge the people who do.
>>154765518
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s
>>154770209
Most people name Blue Exorcist, Konosuba, lwa, Kobayashi, Youjo Senki, Kuzu no HOnkai and maybe Zestiria.
Kemono Friends may have dominated twitter in Japan, but it's completely gone under the radar across the board outside of Japan.
>>154766791
That was a death flag buddy
I browsed roughly around the internet but literally nobody talks about KF. This anime is truly for advanced level.
>>154770292
How do we attain otter's state of nirvana?
Kaban is going to leave to research the Friends and how to manage the park. She will be back to the park in a few yearslooking like Kakoand meet the Friends again. She will meet Serval once again, they cry when they see each other and the show ends.
>>154770174
Yes people might post preorder numbers but it really won't go past that except for maybe when you're a Kyoani/SHAFT show but that's pretty much a given.
Stalker threads incite intense shitflinging between people who don't know anything over numbers that barely mean anything. Banning them genuinely won't do anything. They're not like containment boards were the bile spreads if you don't contain it, they will just dissipate and be heavily watered down by the time they reach a thread.
>>154770323
That's for the best, western fanbases and influence hardly ever end well. Like it's a shame people might blindly bash the show when they see it has bad reviews or whatever, but the people that care about reviews don't care about anime anyways.
>>154770342
>literally nobody
Nobody that doesn't speak Japanese or Chinese that is. It's a bit of a shame that the best sci-fi adventure this season's gone unnoticed by people who can't get past the prejudice of low budget CG, but it's true that ep1 is hard to swallow.
Arai-san a.k.a Racoon is also reported to cry at today's event.

>>154770390
>show ends
I think Yoshizaki Mine and Kadokawa have other plans. Kadokawa had been in talk since ep5 about more KF to come.
>>154770209
I'm not hating konosuba, well I hate everything kyoani, but besides that, I'm just saying that both shows have problems visually, not only the hurr cgi one.
>>154770456
I am reading the same thing from the 5th open showing for KF as well. VA of Serval reportedly did cry after reading the script for the last ep according to twitter posts, and Kaban's got a key item in her hands.Arai's VA and Gentoo's VA were also in tears during the night performance.
I just can't anymore.
>>154770518
What's wrong with Maid Dragon visually, other than it looking like a KyoAni show which apparently you hate?
So we may not have been rused by 2ch anon. Is it right to say that we should expect the worst?
inb4 2 feathers combined makes Kaban a park ranger and it becomes a manly battle for survival ending
>>154770549
This heavy feeling ain't right.
>>154770408
You're wrong it would just become another common type of shitposting bait in all threads. Flip Flappers was full of it for example even during airing.
How did you have two full threads during late night? It wasn't like this yesterday and I doubt the serval stream was this good.
Friends never say die!
>>154770585
I don't know if I want a manly battle at all. Asking Kaban to do battle isn't the same as some battle shounen protag boy beating up monsters to save his harem.
>>154770622
>I doubt the serval stream was this good.
No, Anon. It was.
>>154770622
>>154770636
The Serval stream ended, and then the feels start to pile in. Ep12 may be a tearjerker.
>>154770653
>and then the feels start to pile in
I've felt no feels, thank you. I'm just here for fun.
Also, shut the up fuck with that word.
>>154767996
Sounds like authentic famicom to me, can't notice any extra channels.
>>154770670
Then we better hope that 2ch Toshiaki's just baiting and it's all really just drumming up suspense at the last moment.
>>154770600
It's because stalker threads exist to begin with that this problem is so exacerbated. Banning it is a step in the right direction.
Besides the point, Flip Flappers bought it upon itself.
>>154770705
I unironically can't bring myself to fap to KF.

It is because it is an original
No LN sauce
No manga sauce
Sure it is a kuso mobage adaptions but the kusoge is already dead. Poor FGO and GBF having to follow in kemofure footsteps.

You're not alone, Friend.
My favorite!
What is this stream you keep talking about?
Sorry, I'm a fairly newfriend.
>>154770745
A tiny, tiny, kashikoi professor.
>>154770734
Because you're a good and morally just person (when it's important at least). Lewdposting is just a necessary evil though I suppose.
>>154770734
You're merely not trying hard enough.
>>154770745
Giraffe being that huge is kind of weird. Obviously it's right based on height, but I don't really think of them as particularly "big".
Piano version ED cues in my mind before I even touch my dong

Serval has no filters, she's an animal that suddenly became a human without the benefit of having grown up with other humans to learn how to live with other humans.
Now that I actually said this, this show is getting 2deep on social commentary
>>154770816
Dumpster soup!
>>154770820
It doesn't matter, it's finished anyway.
Why there is no elephant fanart? I need elephant.
>>154770571
Compare it to their other shows, especially the backgrounds.
>>154770870
What was it about?
>>154770816
I can't believe Arai is fucking dead!

ラジオの公開収録行ってきた
とりあえず本編に関わるめぼしい情報
・博士から貰った副賞の箱は今後の話に大きく関わる重要アイテムっぽい
・フレンズの寿命が人間基準か動物基準かは声優も知らないから最後まで明かされなさそう
・サーバル役の声優は家で最終話の台本を読んで大号泣したらしい
夜の部も行くからまたなんかあったら書くわ
It's 2ch.

The weight of an adult giraffe is about 1600 kilograms or 3500 pounds. Giraffes can grow to a height of 16 to 20 feet.
>>154770883
Oh, okay.
>>154770734
Fapping to anime girls is just another way of showing your appreciation for them.
>>154770919
You're sick, Anonymous.
Very sick.
CONTRACT?
>>154770897
By the way, the event can only accommodate 400friends apparently so it is easy to spread disinfo. That said I still think our nip friend wouldnt lie like this.
>>154770953

>>154770820
People looked at a cat doing cat things in a zoo for 7 hours anyway, or maybe at Japs doing Jap things on a stream for 7 hours. We aren't sure yet.
>>154770953
awawawawawawawa
>>154770949
Then I don't ever want to be healed.

It's already posted. >>154766550
>>154770973
There's that Twitter account which mentioned how Ono (Arai) and Tamura (Gentoo) were in tears during the 5th showing event. The whole part about Serval VA crying after reading last ep script match what the 2ch post said too.
>>154770851
It looks like its based on body mass. A hippo is not as tall as a human, and a giraffe is taller than a Elephant, but an elephant weighs much more than either. A full grown giraffe can weigh more than a hippo
>>154771075
>A full grown giraffe can weigh more than a hippo
Hahaha fattie
>>154771052
Yeah, multiple people who enjoyed today's event tweeted the same thing. I think you can say it's confirmed.
>>154771118
Then it's settled. Ep12 may be real sad.
>>154770917
Wikipedia says the average is around 1200kg. Which is a fair bit less than a hippo at around 1400kg. And giraffe is a lot bigger than hippo in that picture.
Mostly I think it's weird because they're scaled by one dimension, but the image is stretched in two.
>>154767006
I sure hope it ends like this.
>>154771132
I hope it's just a departure ending then instead of "no Serval, you are the ceruleans".
>>154771166
Seconded. Imagine the universal audience and critical acclaim.
>>154771166
>headpat end
Nice.

>>154771220
>that smug fox
Every single time.
>>154771132
Maybe just sad that the ride is at its end for now, rather than the ride having a depressing end. I'm sure those girls had fun together and are just emotional right?
>>154771220
They are actually pretty. Arai-san is a cutie.
>>154771166
I'm gonna live in fear of a sad ending for the next 10 days and after it ends, emptiness awaits. Is tanoshii of a month really worth it?Will there be season 2 to save me from darkness?
>>154771220

3D posting
Thank god it's page 10.
>>サーバル役の声優は家で最終話の台本を読んで大号泣したらしい
It was not a sad tear
>>154771220
That serval pouch is waaay too fluffy.
>>154771255
Like other anon above, I don't like how that it's explicitly mentioned that the VA teared up while reading the script. If she's crying in the event with other VAs after being overwhelmed by warm audience reception then it would be much easier to assume that it's just the VA feeling emotionally touched by the whole experience.
>>154771255
They're probably just crying because Season 2 is confirmedbut they aren't in it
>>154771308
I don't mind those 3Ds in particular because they're involved with the show.
>>154771308

>>154771327
Shocker: They were replaced by the game VAs.
>>154771308
who gives a shit when it's literally the VAs
>>154771327
That's deep
>>154771308
Oh please, seiyuu love is strong here.
>>154771340
>newfag
What are you basing that on, exactly?
>>154771315
I guess she just cried during some sort of speech because she was glad that this simple, cheap work got so popular then. I hope she gets more jobs in the future.
>>154771347

>>154771303
All right
Because it is Kadokawa
>>154771371
2.5D is fine when it's relevant to the thread
seiyuu are 2.5D and that has been long established

>>154771378
Are you being a happy meal head again? The lines clearly state that she loudly cried after reading the script of the last episode at home.
Yes, it could be tears of joy and I am hoping for that.
>>154771417
Happy meal or not, we'll find the truth in two weeks.
please don't be too sad
>>154771451
>not 5 minutes
>>154771462
Well, 10 minutes technically.
>>154771416
>that fucking Boss
>>154771462
Two weeks are nothing more than a long sequence of 5 minutes.
>>154771415
>2.5D
I'm well aware of this meme.
However, 2.5D only works when you're with the person in real life, or can otherwise hear their voice. Then, you can close your eyes and pretend it's 2D. But pictures give off no sense of 2D. It's just 3D.
Keep in mind, that I'm actually a seiyuufag. I just don't like to look at them, or care what they do in their lives.

>it's evil to subject a wild animal to the most primal of instincts
At least we're on page 10.
