NicoNico's top 10 Winter/Spring anime of 2017, a survey

But Konomi Suzuki is singing the OP.

Every single form of evidence I've come across has lead me to believe Uchouten Kazoku might become a cult classic in Japan. I'm expecting it to sell at least twice as much as S1.

>>155468538
I had to go out of my way to watch it legally, I gave up and watched it on the seven seas.

Do you think Miyazaki can see past the CGI and actually enjoy Kemono Friends? Environmental awareness has always been his thing and this show is filled with it.

>>155468709

with how popular it is, expect ss2 in no time

>>155468796
Asspull giants is only ahead by a slim margin which seems pretty normal

Kemono Friends has a higher percentage than the other 9 combined.

>>155468252
Nobody but children watch anime in Japan

>>155468252
/a/ picked it up because of Japan turning it into a meme. Less than 20 ips in the week 1 thread

>>155468952
No Miyazaki can't enjoy something that's 3D.

>>155468952
His head is so far up his own ass, no good anime exists to him unless he personally was involved in it.

>>155468252
>No one watches it in Japan except children.
I believe a good amount of 30+ watch it iirc.

>>155468912
Visuals aside, I enjoyed the first episode. It's comfy enough to go through it and, at the same time, there's the underlying mystery which made me curios to see what happens next.

>>155468952
Sure if he animates it himself and Ghibli.

>>155468958
It's because it ranks number one is nearly every demographic. Kids, adults, old people, ect.

>>155468952

This makes no sense.

Why is Kemono Friends so fucking popular? The competition was so heavy this season with Loli Hitler, Lusty Argonian Lesbian Maid and The Adventures of Young Rance, yet, despite all that, Kemono Friends, the fucking nature documentary for kids, rose above in charts and popularity.

It's not a terrible show, it's just wreathed in mediocrity. With such high budget cute girl shows being churned out every season, how did the one made by 10 guys, none of whom are really even that notable, with the budget of 10 japari buns make it to the top?

The story had a sense of progression towards a goal every episode, which can be said to be doing more than most cute girl animes. But is that what people want?

But it doesn't make sense, with Japan's shit taste and love of shows where absolutely nothing happens for entire seasons, this should have been a forgotten flop, which is even worse than a remembered flop because at least people acknowledged it, but it became AOTS, and maybe even AOTY.

Did Kemono Friends save anime?

>>155469097
>>155468744
I really think its better to say its a comfy anime like Aikatsu first. The mystery is just the cherry on top.

>>155469053

Were you here for K-ON's boom? It's literally that, people of all ages could relate to the characters. Also those same people who watched K-ON in their early 20s are now in their 30s, which is why that one poll conducted in Japan had people aged 30+ and even 40-50+ years old.

>>155469143
>Did Kemono Friends save anime?
Stop.

Well it did revive the creativity of the Japs after a drought of good material to work with. If only IPs like Kancolle, Fate and Granblue were more loose about its rules.

>>155469314
Does it even matter? KF only has one season of anime. Those are gigantic compared to it with games that provide continuous content. KF is a fad that will die out, interest for it will be gone like SnK

Well, it was a noticed anime that tried doing the adventure genre with a set goal. Other animes that I thought were great and followed this formula of the set goal are Rage of Bahamut: Genesis and Thunderbolt Fantasy. Neither were as popular, but I felt both did better in their respective areas.

These days they just keep wringing it out with the goal never even hinted to be gotten closer to. Shows like Konosuba, Naruto and One Piece, as popular as they are, never show us how close the characters are to achieving their goals. But in KF, they at least gave us a status update every episode.

So yeah, this might open up more doors for the stagnant anime industry to try and get through more.

>>155469792

Girls like hot guys. What's not to get? Most of the Gintama cast are males anyway. Most of them are muscular manly men type too.

Don't forget S2. And besides most anime have limited lives post-airing. The fact that this became popular despite its budget bodes well that it'll last a little longer than expected

I believe One Piece actively reiterates that it's "goal" was just an excuse for Luffy to go adventures since it's obvious he doesn't actually care about it. So it's an essentially infinite adventure that anyone can drop and pick up whenever they want

That said, it's refreshing to see set journey contained within 12 episodes, even though technically, it can also go on forever as long as the humans don't show up

Again, I don't understand. The story continued? Is that what you're trying to say? You wanted it to remain daily life of bounty hunter and the guy that wants to kill him?

But then it would miss the point. The show was about people who became part of something much bigger than them, and how they acted when met with such circumstance.

If you're saying that you wanted it to stay progression free, then you're part of the problem

anime is dead, kemono friends was nice though

>>155470077
Budget has nothing to do with good direction, that's why Kemono Friends was good in the first place.

>>155470154

There was a thread on 2chan about a week or two ago that falsely reported that LWA sold around 700 copies.
Before people started pointing out that the OP was lying, most of the replies were in the neighborhood of "Yeah", "Sounds about right" and "I thought it'd be lower".

It made people care about endangered and rare animals. How many people know about the existence of serval and nippon nipponia before the anime? Not many I believe.

And it deserves the flop, considering it was even less enjoyable than the token CGDCT of the season while it's supposed to be the most "fun" show here.

It's possible the show isn't for you, then.

However it's also possible that you're in the same boat I was in. I started watching the show during its fourth week, and when I marathonned the first 3 eps, while I found it enjoyable, I wasn't quite sure what the big deal of it was. Then after a few hours I found that I couldn't stop thinking about the show, how it made me feel, and how I wanted to see the characters again. After that, I couldn't get enough of it.

So long story short, it may just be a matter of it needing to wash over you.

Dude, it gets better. The chase is so bad it's funny so don't sweat it. At least it isn't handshakers "nice watch" level bad.

If anything it's quite endearing when it gets to the character parts or the mystery music kicks in and you get little bits of information, yet the information given never comes as unnatural nor hinges the problem of the day.

Seriously man, just watch at the chase scene as a "so bad it is good" thing.

Just when I thought this show couldn't one-up itself anymore. Also with the whole book over BD thing, anime is going to change in someway.

The budget full CG anime that looks absolutely awful and is full of first-time seiyuus, based on a game that's shut down. It has swept away every other show by an absurdly large margin.

Character count is in arbitrary and nonsensical metric to use, and recks of desperation.

Whether there are any male characters come down to an aesthetic choice and plot necessity. Like it or like, girls are the default sex in anime unless plot required otherwise.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Friends, is in fact, Kemono/Friends, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Kemono as Friends. Friends is not a life unto itself, but rather another living component of a fully functioning Kemono Domain made humanoid by the Sandstar deposits, animal traits and vital bodily functions comprising a full living being as defined by JAPARI.

Many animals have been functioning in humanoid form every day without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the bipedal body form which is widely used today is called "Kemono/Friends", and many of the animals are not aware that it is basically just an altered form which came about from the Sandstar eruption.

These "friends" are definitely living beings capable of cognition, speech and being wholly sapient. However, they are not friends on their own volition; they can only be considered as such after their transformation through Sandstar exposure: the whole Kemono Friends is basically animal with Sandstar transformation, or Kemono/Friends. All the so called "friends" are really just independent species to Kemono/Friends.

>>155471958

The Kemono train isn't even a season old and we still haven't had a comiket or japariket(2 are scheduled) so I can tell you that the madness has just begun.

well obviously nothing from winter, now that we are in spring is topping views again as a short series (even if its just 12.1 by itself), so if everything in this season doesnt stand up , we are left with summer and fall.

I think everyone is underestimating just how big this is getting. Even the fans.

I bet the main reason why Kemofure took off like this is because original stories with fulfilling stories and equally fulfilling conclusions are rare in anime nowadays.

Also, the story isn't too dark or too bright; just enough for salarymen and OLs to get their positive vibe fix for the day.

>>155472814
Disregard that I went full retard and probably suck cocks.

>>155472477
The desperate people here are the one who refuse to admit that the show got popular thanks to a fad that's been going for a while: 20+ characters of the same gender that are based on a certain gimmick(ships, animals, swords).
>Any show will inevitably acquire a bunch of side character just from simple plot development, outside of perhaps 4-girls-in-a-clubroom type of plot nondevelopment.

What amuses me the most is how much hatred the series has gotten because some people around here get absolutely furious just because a show ended up being more popular than what they liked the most in a season. I knew salesfags were the worst kind of cancer on /a/, but I had never taken a closer look at them until now.
That said, the bandwagoning faggots who are using the popularity of this series to shitpost and turn everything into a contest are also pretty fucking awful.

Upotte (guns), Moyashimon (bacteria), Hetalia (countries), Kancolle (ships), Touken Ranbu (swords), Shiro Project (castles, only a mobage).

There's also the Chinese zodiac for Eto Rangers, Etotama and the upcoming Juuni Taisen.

>Kemono Friends probably 75k+ sales
>Love Live Sunshine 50k+ sales
>Idolmaster Gekijou 20k+ sales
>Yuyushiki OVA 10k+ sales
Yurifags finally win

>>155473421
Oh, I forgot Ketsuekigata-kun, for blood types.

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka ep1.

It's a Nico meme by this point to go to that episode and make comments for healing purposes.

It works with cute boys too, but they tend to be live action.

>>155473409
And it still sold 20k

What the fuck

>>155473409
I thought the KanColle anime was decent. The admiral being a Fubukifag even worked to explain why she was treated so specially. It certainly could have been better, of course.

>>155473418
No, there was a lot of flak for their episode and only 1 of them is popular.

>>155472650
AOTY doesn't have anything to do with popularity (on fucking Japan, much less). If people around here end up enjoying something more than it then it will obviously take the title away.
I doubt that this shitposting frenzy will still be around in December so I find it very unlikely that people are going to vote ironically in droves just like they did for that dumb poll from a little while ago.

>>155473421
You're missing the point, all that shit is just about "girls are objects/animal things lmao." kemofure had a good story and good character dynamics.

>>155469143
>The story had a sense of progression towards a goal every episode, which can be said to be doing more than most cute girl animes. But is that what people want?
YES. The adventure genre has been dead since approximately Slayers' heyday. It needs to come back; clearly, people want it to come back.

Being Hululu.

So good no one would have touched if it didn't have cute girls.

>>155473493
>>155473509
Koutei is the poster girl R-18 girl for kemofure

>>155473191
God bless Japan.

>>155473420
To be fair, the shitfest here don't seem to come from Konosuba or Youjo Senki fanboys.

>>155473421
Etotama was fun.

>>155473477
The Japanese are obsessed with blood types. Why do you think almost every anime character profile lists them?

>>155473523
God is the poster girl R-18
damn straight.

>>155473521
And yet this show in particular was a huge hit. Could it have been because of what >>155473497 said? Nah, bet it was just luck.

>>155473553
But why would you make anime about that.

>>155473553
anime blood transfusions?

>>155473496
>vote ironically
>they didn't vote for my AOTS so it's ironic!

>>155473521
What's your point? The girls obviously aren't the main draw, even if they are popular now.

>>155473496
AOTY poll are heavily biased towards Fall because of recency. Yuri on Ice won Crunchyroll's AOTY, Hibike won 2ch's AOTY and Flip Flappers won /a/'s AOTY. All of those aired in the same season.

>>155473286
Has it gotten even worse since episode 8? I can't believe it.

>>155473521
Cute girls OR an absence of exposure to the mascot culture in Japan.

>>155473575
Persons of a certain blood type have particular traits.

Every anime has cute girls. You might as well as not have said anything. Kemono Friends' designs are more uguu than than the most concurrent shows anyways.

>best seller and most popular anime of the season also had the hypest scene of all season

You can't make this shit up.

>>155473403
It was but it was only about the string. The fad faded because there was no new source. KF anime though invited and inspired artists/viewers to do works of their own with how the anime was presented. I was surprised that after 30 minutes of episode 12.1 and we already have fan arts sprouting for just 2 minutes of footage which show just how much people loves KF.

It's done by Yoshizaki Mine. What did you expect?

>>155473310
I still don't understand how this method of shitposting caught on so hard. All it does is prove that the poster is a huge retard, even more so if they mention furries.

Hollywood adaptation when?

>>155473652
HERESY!!!!

>>155473098
etotama as well. Even CG animals as well.

>>155473648
The west has never seen a phenomenon before or after MLP, it's literally the only comparison they can make. Japan has one every year.

>>155473493
And by "a lot of flak" you mean "it ranked the worst on the Niconico streams, yeah 92% of the votes were 'excellent' but that means the episode was shit"

>>155473652
Narrated by David Attenborough?

>>155473286
should've been 1 cour with less filler. Nothing happens.

I mean, the first episode of Kemono Friends had especially terrible voice acting. It felt like the VAs (especially Kaban) weren't even trying.

>>155473684
Then it wouldn't be Hollywood. It'd be BBC.

>>155473480
The movie explain why fubuki is treated specially you know.
