>>156217371
Is it cute and not too deep but deep enough? Bang, mega millions. I've noticed Western Works have more guts when it comes to talking about deep and uncomfortable topics. Probably because our society doesn't revolve around taboos.
KF is still TANOSHI as fuck.

Only when the "uncomfortable topics" have become the mainstream consumer's masturbation material.

It seems pretty safe to say that the popularity comes from the internet communities.

No matter what anyone says, you'll go in with high expectations due to its success and it'll be ruined by that. You having to ask us to explain is already a bad sign.
For me personally it's the most pleasant surprise I've ever had with anime and it's why I go into new anime blind for the most part.

It already sold 120k copies on just the first 2 volumes of the guidebook + BD. Second volume is to be released on the 24th. They can't print these fast enough.

You can't even buy vol2 on Amazon Japan anymore. Their May preorder quota's completely exhausted and it's now pushed to June 26 window for vol1 reprint.

Of course it couldn't be. It's not sold as BD. It's sold as a book with a free BD bonus material.

Anime is a medium to a tell story.

Think about this for a second. If you just want to watch animation, just go watch animation short with pretty movement and pattern motion.

>>156222232
>>156222222

Well, while we're here in this meta thread, I read somewhere that NTSC-J standardized on a color temperature of 9300K. Does this mean that I've been viewing my chinese cartoons all wrong on my 6500K monitor for all these years? I've noticed that switching to 9300K can smooth out certain gradients, especially that blushing shoulders/butt/thighs effect that a lot of people around here seem to think looks like pimples.

>>156221969
It's good you're honest about it.
However, production values aren't the only element of animation. Tatsuki's direction is absolutely perfect.

>>156218000
kemono.

>>156222340
He was really the man for the job.

Who could have thought that all an Anime needed to succeed was a man competent in his craft given creative freedom on a passion project.

It's so simple and honest, yet mind-blowing for this industry.

>>156221246
Well, if they printed 120k..and they all sold out, and they cost $33, that's $4mil

I don't get people who says they can't watch Kemono Friends because of the animation. Are you the same people who only play games with up to date graphics?

>>156222417
If KF makes you want to gouge out your eyes, perhaps you should wear a blindfold from now on, so as not to damage your eyes from overexposure.

Kemono fags clarify this to me, they are wearing arm and leg stockings and that furry color is not their fur?

>>156222498
The announcement stated that they sold 120k copies to date, they will be reprinting, and you can't even buy the 1st print run for volume 2 which comes out on the 24th.

You can't even buy the vol2 on the reprint that gets delivered by May 26 by now.

What part of this make you want to gouge your eyes out? How can you even survive in the real world when you go outside and glance at the 3D humans?

No.

It's their fur, until they intellectualize it as clothing (which doesn't happen often), then it becomes clothing.

>>156222693
It's Kemono Friends

>>156222633
For the first episode. Even that had at least one fellow saying he enjoyed it, and predicting the threads to be slow and comfy.

I don't understand does /a/ like Kemono Friends like Code Geass and Madoka?

>>156222654
There should be warning about that show. It, arguably, glorifies suicide in that it shows a dead girl getting even with her tormentors from beyond the grave. This can ultimately make suicide seem appealing to some people if they were to do the same thing.

Turning suicide (a surprise suicide, no less) into a farce like what that episode of Paranoia Agent did hardly makes suicide seem better in any sense. The biggest argument you could make is that the trio seemed more or less happy at the end.

Or something. I dunno, it's been years since I've watched it.

>>156222989
It is what it is.
Don't be surprise when the comiket roll around late in the summer. It already had 1event earlier in the month with 70+ circles. Meanwhile one of the top grossing mobage app in Japan apparently failed to even get 10circles to participate.

>>156223401
Zoos are always happy if someone visits them.

>>156223297
Better than being a cardboard cutout with happy happy as ther eternal setting. Characters like George and Pam gave the place more of a "real" feeling. Simply put, in the west when shit happens, we say it does, not try and hide it as much as in the East.

Now here's some extra tofu for you, with the "perceiving it as clothing" bit.
After episode 7 aired, there was some talk of the library being the Tree of the Garden of Eden, which I dismissed as looking a bit too deep into it.
Next thing that happened was they ran into idols, or in other words religion and idolatry.
Next thing that happened was, they went to the hot spring, and Kaban taught the friends that their clothes are clothes. Then she insisted they change out of them in private.
In other words, she teaches them about clothing and the shame of being naked, after having gone to the Tree and received its Knowledge.

>>156217371
delusion all around

to even care to have "taste in anime"

>>156221010
Every cute girls show needs some sort of twist to make it so that you don't feel as though you're mindlessly consuming cute girls. KF does well by blending in other components: animal attributes, mystery / post-apocalyptic, and travel; and, by cycling a lively cast of guest characters that feel like more than the sum of their gimmicks but also don't overstay their welcome.

>>156222989
Dedicated conventions are not exceptionally rare but they're not common either. OC is how people who have gone down the rabbit hole try to make their enjoyment of the series last forever.

>>156223485
>>156223200
The guidebook even specifically states that ep1-7 retraces the development of humanity as it goes out of Africa to the point of written language.
