Kemono Friends is the Jojo's bizarre adventure of our generation.
Is it me, or in the past the results tended to be more evenly distributed? This time we have the top three taking half of all the results.
Great taste in anime as always, /a/. Totally not just plebs with less than 100 anime watched.
>>155241461
In terms of obnoxious fanbase? I agree.
>>155241530
> Everybody who doesn't like what I like is a newfag
Why do people like Kemono friends?
>>155241748
Yeah that's it, sure.
>>155242098
It has great world-building and invokes an innocent desire for exploration/adventure. But every now and then it drops a small info hook that reveals the world might not be as innocent as it looks. The animation itself is terrible, but the direction is really well done. All in all it's a very enjoyable show, as long as you can get past the 3DCG wall. Generally, people start finding it interesting between episode 2 and 3. The first episode is admittedly bland on its own, but it foreshadows a lot later on.
>>155242262
Gonna pick it up, thanks.
>>155241214
>No Dragon Dentist
Shit poll
>>155242262
Yeah, for me it was Toki's intro early in episode 3. Alpaca, and Kaban and Toki's scene on the tower, sealed the deal.
>>155241214
>ACCA that low
>>155241214

More than I expected
LWA > 3gatsu > Konosuba 2 > ACCA > Maid Dragon > Gabriel DropOut > Rakugo 2 > Onihei > Zestiria 2 > Demi-chan > Urara > Masamune-kun > Kuzu no Honkai > Seiren > Fuuka
>>155242201
another bump
I'm still really enjoying Little Witch Academia, it's a fun and cute show. I liked Ai Mai Mi as well, but I preferred the earlier seasons. Nothing else really won me over; Maidragon is bad as expected, and Dragon Dentist wasn't even worth watching.
>>155242807
>Maid Dragon > Gabriel DropOut
Demi-chan was actually pretty good
>>155241214
>Kemono Friends
Flop Dragon, LWA and Demi higher than GabDro is a blasphemy.
>>155245146
KF just saved anime senpai.

I cant believe people like gabriel dropout, its garbage pandering in the worst kind of way. At least maid dragon has likeable and cute characters, but GD is just filled with shallow, unlikable cunts.
>>155242262
gonna give it a try then
>>155245642
In what way is Maidragon not garbage pandering?
1. Ai Mai Mi
2. Kemono Friends
3. Rakugo
>>155245741
>http://www.strawpoll.me/12637027/r
I think they implied it is garbage pandering as well, but that it has likeable and cute characters.
Scum's Wish literally changed my worldview on love, so yeah, that's my AOTY
>>155242450
for me it only picked up around episodes 5-6
I personally didn't find it life-changing or anything, but at least give it a chance
>LWA only at 4th place
What happened to /a/?
>>155246326
Novelty wore off after the second movie
>>155241214
If LWA and Grabiel DropOut had their positions switched, the top 5 results would perfectly mirror my personal top 5 of the season.
>>155246326
Trigger can only be a one trick pony for so long.
>>155246326
It should have stayed an OVA
This is actually out of control.

Number of tweets.
>>155246633
Kemono Friends got a million tweets? Jesus.
>>155246700
It also got into world trending three times.
>>155246488
For scale, 2nd place is Gintama and 3rd place is KonoSuba.
>>155241461
Is that a Kemono Friends reference?
>>155242098
It's a new type of Moe show. Whereas the classical Moe girls have become archetypical and stale, in kemono friends it is the show itself that invokes the feeling of Moe from the viewers.
>>155246963
>it is the show itself that invokes the feeling of Moe from the viewers
I'm pretty sure the characters are still a driving force, it's just that Kaban and Serval have really good chemistry and are really fucking cute.
Kemono Friends was really special!
>>155247038
In the classical sense, moe is about creating vulnerable, innocent characters in which the audiences can imprint upon, drawing the innant older-brotherly desire to protect and cheer from the sidelines, for the overcoming of those very weaknesses. The show itself has glaring flaws, obviously very poorly provisioned, yet its those same humble beginnings that highlights how hard it tries to to be something more. In those efforts, the show itself become the "moe" entity. Every effort it makes, every small success, become reciprocated by its audience. That's why the surprising decentness of Kemono Friends drew such a overwhelming response. It's like watching a toddler taking a first step.
>>155247387
Kaban is pretty innocent.
>>155246590
No, but sales are just as impressive. Even more impressive if the numbers being talked about around the place are true.
>>155246599
That's a different beast altogether. You can't compare it with normal anime.
>>155242098

We're all little girls here, so yeah.

AHAHAHA FAGGOTS
i didn't watched it but is kemono friends actually good?
>>155249097
Yes anon
>>155246326
Akko is shit
>>155248840
Mostly, but once in a while I do watch a mature anime for mature people when I'm in the mood for it.
>>155249097
You think a show that looks like garbage would be popular if it wasn't good?
>spamming Kemono Meme
Guess we can't even have a serious discussion about AOTS anymore. next season can't come soon enough.
>>155249394

Demi-chan has a slight edge over Kemono Friends for me. But both were fantastic.
Hope we get some more comfy shows next season.
>there are 100 people who actually think LWA is AOTS
Holy fuck. Watch more anime
>>155241214
>autism the anime is going to be AOTS
kill me
>>155249097
Yes. It's the best anime of the season and will probably be the best anime of the year.
>>155249394
>>155249466
What did you vote for?
>>155249634
Demi-chan
>>155249651
Okay, thanks for telling me.
To be fair, it's incredible LWA it's that high considering almost nothing has happened in the first cour of the series. It's basically a SoL with witches shenanigans
I wonder if any Dragon Maid fans are angry at Kemono Friends' popularity.
>>155250058
Not that I'm a fan of either, but Kemono Friends is such an innocuous little thing made by only a handful of people, I don't know how anyone could be upset with its success.
>>155249466
/a/ has shit taste.
Every motherfucker has me thinking LWA is actually good, but that anime is straight trash.
>>155250058
You must have been avoiding the stalker and sales generals this whole season.
>>155250058
I'm pretty sure there are fans of every anime that are angry at Kemono Friends' popularity.
Maid Dragon was actually my ATOS before I gave Kemono Friends a second chance and fell in love with it.
Is Kemono Friends actually that popular here on /a/ or is it just poll rigging?
>>155250162
What did you vote for?
>>155250262
It's probably that popular, but it's also a meme and thus discredited.
>>155250326
More of a meme than Maid Dragon?
>>155250326
Every fucking thing is a meme
>>155250262
It is very popular on /a/ and is a very good anime.
>>155250349
Maidragon is a crappy but legitimate show, Kemono Friends is 3DCG, made by like ten guys with no budget, and about animal girls and apparently the extinction of humanity?
>>155250058
I'm angry people even like Dragon Shit or even praise it just because KyoAni is doing it. Had it been anybody else, it would get shit on hard.
>>155250446
Had it been anyone else, it wouldn't have been nearly as high-quality a production nor would it have any of the attempts at sentimentality. So, you're probably right.
>>155250445
So Maid Dragon has excellent animation but mediocre writing and Kemono Friends has mediocre animation but excellent writting?
>>155250058
No it's mostly Konosuba fans judging from that last sales thread
I feel like half the people who vote for Kemono just do it to mirror Japan's tastes. I like the show but it's nothing special.
>>155250537
I think Maidragon has okay animation and shit writing and Kemono Friends has shit animation and shit writing, but also novelty appeal.
>>155250548
>just do it to mirror Japan's tastes
Nobody fucking does this you moron. When has this even been the case in a season? The majority of /a/ always shits on Japanese taste every season, why is Kemono Friends suddenly the exceptions?
>>155250412
I had to struggle to get through the first 3 episodes, does it get better?
Why is Konosuba higher than Gabriel Dropout? Gabriel Dropout is funnier.
>>155250642
It's always the case to be quite honest, my friend, or should I say, my tomodachi.
>>155241214
Where's NGE? because that's AOTS of every S.
>>155250694
I like both of the shows but I think Konosuba is funnier.
I believe the writing and characters are better in Konosuba as well. Gab looks a lot better though.
>>155250642
Denial is strong.
/a/ is heavily anti-CG. The mindset is too ingrained.
>>155250661
I think it's more of a matter of the show growing on you, rather than getting better, but I have seen plenty of people say that episode 4 is what got them hooked.
>>155249394
>AOTS thread
>serious discussion
Pick one.
They're made by the same faggots who make stalker threads aka designated shitposting threads filled with newfags and crossboarders. Nobody should give a shit about other faggots' opinions anyway because they will be shit.
>>155247051
Too soon
>>155249394
>t. Cerulean
>>155250766
None of the new characters were as funny as the Headless Horseman. The mask demon is annoying and should have stayed dead. The persistent church followers joke got stale. So many things went wrong with season 2.
>>155241214

What are you testing my friend?
Why don't we laugh at the ones in last place instead of the runner ups?
>Chaos;Child
>0 votes
>>155249466
I just got done watching the 1st cour and I can say it's better than most of the stuff airing in the season that I've watched.
The build up of Akko's character and the world is really nice and the side characters complement the main cast well on top of the unique setting and animation that likes to have fun with itself.
In terms of entertainment value, I'd place Konosuba above it because I'm enamored with the humor and banter between the main cast more so despite shoddy animation.
A few of the other shows I watched like Gabriel DropOut and Masamune-kun disappointed me quite abit.
Should I spend time to try out Maid Dragon?
>>155249466
LWA is one of the best anime this season. Top 5 or top 3 even if you have somewhat decent taste. This is a fact.
>>155255003
Watch more anime. And while you're at it, learn what a paragraph is.
>>155255259
If I put it into paragraph form, you'd just type "tl;dr" like a nerd.
I've been watching shows for a long time but fatigue from watching many low quality shows per season has conditioned me to watch only 3-5 shows a season lately.
That's why I'm asking if it's worth my time.
>>155250446
It's actually the complete opposite, it's a fine slice of life show that most of /a/ would probably like if it wasn't made by kyoani, because studio popularity wars are apparently absolutely epic and everyone NEEDs to shit on everything made by a studio they don't like for whatever reason
>>155250058
im not mad but that fking stupid pieces of shit just killed the anime industry
poor Kanna-chan, you too good for this world
>>155250139
Plus it brought an insane boost to Japanese zoo attendance
>>155250661
Everyone says that episode 3 is what gets people hooked, but I think episode 4 is where I kinda started liking it, at least enough to watch it since I was caught up on everything else. And then some time around 7 I realized it was what I was looking forward to most each week.
Don't force yourself if you still hate it, but if you're still a bit curious and feel any sort of interest towards it at all I'd recommend you keep trucking through it.
I find it hard to believe that /a/ would put KF as AOTS if Japan didn't blow it up.
>>155241214
How can people say nips have bad taste when this is our list.
>>155255602
I find it hard to believe that you still haven't killed yourself ledouche
>>155255602
No shit tripfag
No one would watch it due to its reputation of being a dead kusoge. No hype, no advertising and it was studio first major production that wasn't an adlib show.
>>155255602
There is no way. Apparently we are 2chan's bitch.
>>155255602
It's literally just rigging
This is truly disgraceful.
Winter was shit, as per usual.
>>155255832
Edit: I'm glad it's over.
The best part of these threads is the butthurt.
I haven't watched Kemono Friends cause of the 3dcg and Maiddragon cause I smelled the cancer of that show from Facebook. Should I give them another shot or should I say fuck them and just post Akiba's Trip as AOTS?
>>155255888
I saw give them a shot. Maid Dragon is pretty typical moe stuff with some really pretty visuals. Kemono Friends is a good adventure story with some really shit visuals.
>>155255888
Kemono friends already is reciving too much love,
One faggot more or less wont hurt
No body knows why KF got so popular all of a sudden. Not even the fans.
It was around episode 4 but nothing big happened in that episode. It's like everyone in Japan, even the normalfags, decided to pic up the show at the same time for no reason. I believe this is actually unprecedented in the history of anime.
>>155256394
literally memes
everyone just decided to stay after memeing
>>155256394
Nobody knew about its existence until it caught fire. The show went under the radar of everyone. This is the power of words of mouth and twitter.
As someone who was looking forward to the show and posted in the threads before it blew up, let me summarize the threads from my experience.
>why is this full length, it would be better as a short
>holy shit, this terrible CGI
>Serval's voice is making my ears bleed
>comparisons with Hand Shakers for worst anime in recent memory
>why couldn't it use the cute game art?
>haha, the game it advertises is already cancelled
>I'm going to watch it anyway for comfy threads and laughing about a trainwreck production
>guys, this is just like Tesagure! It had shit CG too!
>no, Tesagure was actually good
>dead threads because everyone already dropped this shit
>what the fuck, this is selling in Japan?
>24/7 generals
>reposting fanart
>being smug towards anyone who realizes the obvious and thinks it's shit
>muh sales
>>155256394
Japan is sick of 2D anime, KF was "that" different show, nobody was expecting.
>>155256465
>what the fuck, this is selling in Japan?
KF started selling literally 3 days ago.
>>155256465
>Tesabu
>>155256465
>dead threads
Up to episode 4 the threads were slow but certainly not dead. Most went to bump limit or close to it. It already had much more attention than Hand Shakers, Minami Kamakura, Idol Jihen, or SGS. I'd say it was comparable to Akiba's Trip.
>what the fuck, this is selling in Japan?
Sales in February? It's litteraly word of mouth, and in particular Kemono Friends memes being posted all over Twitter that generated the attention that led to 24/7 threads.
>>155258042
Butcher's puppet show will be the bigger change!
>>155255955
It can't be worse than Hand Shakers, right? Right?
>meme this, bandwagon that
Some people could tell that Kemono Friends was going to be a diamond from the very first week.
>>155246326
Shitty writing
>>155255602
With the sheer number of people on /a/? Nah, it would attract viewers. There are a good number of people here who watch literally every show every season, and would have kept watching until episode 3 just out of curiosity, before finally falling in love.
Kemono Friends is popular because it's good. Saying people only like it because of the popularity is profoundly missing the point. If anything is biasing people's perception of how good KemoFure is, it's more likely the whole underdog story about its production.
You fags are going to start pretending that Kemono's popularity is all due to some vocal minority samefagging. Just like with Flip Flappers, how typical.
