Keroro pastebin link
http://pastebin.com/ai7XcTXN

Although there are episode links there, the easiest way to get them now would be just downloading the full series torrent. Still, there's also a link there for manga raws up to chapter 255, with a year of the rooster centered story.

http://comic-walker.com/contents/detail/KDCW_KS01000004010000_68/

The newest chapter, 256, begins the 2nd part of the 7 wonders of the world story, with a return to Easter Island, this time featuring the movie version of Aku Aku.

The Keroro platoon (girl version) appeared in a new promo image for Kemono Friends in the newest Shounen Ace... although... the Kemono Friends anime turned out to be an odd looking CG thing...

And also related to that, the Kemono Friends cards for the Chaos TCG also will include the Keroro Platoon girls.

What. I didn't realize that he was directly based on a real person. I thought it was just a generic reference to those lost Japanese soldiers.

I've just checked his Japanese wiki page and there's no mention of the Keroro reference though, so he probably never realized it. It doesn't help it happened during that period the franchise was basically getting no marketing even though it was still on tv.

That is really good. It's also cool how the creators are also mentioned.

Dark Keroro's robot was actually called the X Keroro Robo? Didn't know that, I swore I saw a piece of Yoshizaki art that called it the more straightforward D-Keroro Robo.
>>
>>15153163

Its name is really inconsistent.

Yoshizaki Mine called it "Keroro Robo Invader" in the design sheet.

Then, there's a picture also drawn by Yoshizaki Mine that shows it facing the original Gundam where it's called D-Keroro Robo

And then there's official material from the anime staff calling it X Keroro Robo.

Yeah, pretty ironic post now in hindsight. I wasn't very fond of the first episode, but it has been entertaining afterwards.

Regarding an anime cameo... they started including Keroro stuff in general Kemono Friends material like I pointed out in the op, so it could happen, although there's nothing confirmed at this point.

And also regarding Kemono Friends, there's a small tidbit in the Keroro manga right now that could indicate some crossover in the manga itself... the current arc in the Keroro manga involves "Keroron Balls" falling in various locations around the world causing weird events. They fly to the locations Fuyuki had selected in a list of seven mysterious wonders. Almost all of the locations shown there had been featured in the Keroro anime or its movies. The stories so far are basically Mine Yoshizaki's own direct takes on those anime/movie characters too. There's one exception though - that seemingly random mountain/volcano.

In the Kemono Friends anime, there's a similar mountain which is supposedly the source of the Sandstar that turned animals into girls... I don't think it'd be a direct tie in but it could be another take on the characters like what the current arc has done with characters from two Keroro movies so far.

Yoshizaki Mine has done manga crossovers with other series he worked on before, either alternate takes on them (like the Seven of Seven chapters) or direct crossovers (Angol Fear directly from Soulcalibur IV), although all of them were done YEARS after the series/game being referenced, which kind of hurts the possibility of this being some kind of tie in.

Lamune got some background cameos (like Otomedius).

Closest thing to a more overt Lamune crossover was Mois briefly taking this form.

I've been reading some interviews recently posted in /a/'s kemono friends thread, and I was actually surprised by the amount of involvement Yoshizaki Mine has with Kemono Friends though. He wasn't just hired to do character designs for the game - he was hired to create the basic setting concept and designs for a multimedia franchise. That's why his credit in the anime is listed as "Concept Design", rather than just "Character Design".

The anime had some kind of licensing issue where they were only allowed to show model kits and characters from UC Gundam, but there were less overt references to other shows, although always hidden compared to UC Gundam. This shot here is Keroro worrying about a Mandala Gundam's model kit's production after he started some weapon that force every liquid to be spilled (Often the featured models don't even exist, see stuff like an MG Zakurello).

I guess there might be a similar licensing issue with the manga. Still, for example, there was a scene with Keroro mimicking G Gundam's narrator, or placing a Turn-A sticker (head only) in a nanomachine bottle.

I guess that scene got away with it since the boxes were hand drawn, rather than art rips (the anime had its own made up boxes, but the manga used to get the art directly from real Gunpla boxes) and it was just the mobile suit's name, with the suit itself being barely visible.

It says the next Shounen Ace's chapter (so, we'll only actually see it next month) betrays expectations with the appearance of a certain character, which I guess means the AkuAku story is going in a different direction from movie 5.

It also says that there's new information.

This shot from the 2nd episode has a couple of interesting things.

The name "Pokopen" on top of the screen, and made it to the anime at least here, even though it was officially replaced by Pekopon.

Also, the location highlighted is supposed to be Fuyuki's school, which is part of OkuTokyo. However, the area highlighted actually is Suginami, where Sunrise's headquarters are. There's a "Sunirase" in Okutokyo in the anime, but this location is kind of odd.

Most of the locations in Okutokyo (or Musashi like it's called in the manga) come from the neighboring Nishitokyo and Musashino districts, including the Nishizawa tower (Skytower Nishitokyo), Kissho academy (girls-only school in reality - probably a relic from when it was planned that all the partners of the Keronians would be girls) and Kichijoji station from Musashino.

The anime does throw a couple random locations from other parts of Tokyo there though, like an Okutokyo Stadium and "Sunirase" like mentioned above.
>>
Finally got around to updating the Pastebin in the OP with the stuff from the last thread, such as dorkly's cytube stuff and the translation of the dialogue in the Keroro/Kemono Friends crossover event, the latter of which is actually now very timely. Sorry for being too lazy/busy.

Chapter 257 in a bit.

>>15212537
>>15214928
>>15212377
In the beginning I had zero interest in the anime either, to be honest, but thought it couldn't hurt to try if so many people had found so much in it for it to be some come-from-nowhere dark horse anime of the season (and with it also being a Yoshizaki joint). I ended up marathoning everything out and digging it. Also: why does Fennec always look so smug?

I just -really- wish it wasn't CG, which would have certainly done more justice to Yoshizaki's designs, but the non-VA budget for the anime might have been the equivalent of like 100 bucks.

>#3 is actually the Sandstar mountain
It's kind of funny that in past threads we were wondering exactly what the hell that volcano was, but now that totally makes sense.

Is this a Kemono Friends-specific TCG or a KF-themed expansion to a specific TCG already out?

Bummer, but if the anime and buzz around it is giving the Keroro Friends more art/more crossover stuff in general it's still all fine.

KF expansion for the CHAOS TCG, which always adds new packs based on recent anime. For Kemono Friends, they're just reusing existing game art, with the only new art being for bag and 3 other humans in the style of the in-game art for the animal girls.

Really hoping for a KF anime cameo in order to get more fanart.

I think even if there's a tie-in in the Keroro manga later it wouldn't have an effect as big as a quick anime appearance would have, considering how big the Kemono Friends anime is right now.

The main issue though is that the way they're building the mystery regarding humanity's fate in the KF anime, they couldn't really throw in Keroro without revealing what happened to the world unless it's a completely random cameo where they don't even meet the main cast.

Same, but yeah, it's too bad the show's already gearing up for endgame mode and probably won't give us an appearance by them that will satisfy.

But with Japari Park being an island and them saying the humans left through the harbor, I'm just hoping the "park abandoned because of Ceruleans or whatever" theory, and not the human extinction one, is the winning one to set the tone for the second season the anime will obviously get. From then on the platoon could just end up crash landing their not-Thunderbird 2 on their way to wherever, become Friends, and shenanigans ensue.

I registed and got into the site. The list in that thread isn't quite complete though - it starts from episode 84. I think there was a Japanese guide released back then that covered the early episodes though, which why they only start making a compiled list by that point. It does go up to the end of the original anime though.

I copied the raw Japanese text for the references from episodes 84 to 103 if anyone is curious but couldn't see it. I'll start translating them once I copy all the text from the relevant posts to a doc file.

Well, KF is tangentially related on multiple levels, and we have dabbled in discussion of Mine's other works and earlier history in these threads.

Regarding that speculation...

The Friend-like Cool/Pure/Passion Beasts in the KF game's 2nd main story carry a star pendant resembling a Keroron ball that is never explained in the story and isn't part of the design of the original robot Lucky Beast in the anime.

The alternate dimension stuff introduced at the end of the Mutsumi's father arc and carried onto the Keroron Balls also could used to explain why Japari Park resembles Japan (In game, it had the same overall shape as Japan, with the regions named after it, in the anime, although the shape and names haven't been mentioned, the Sandstar mountain seems modeled on Mount Fuji - there's also the name itself, with Japari clearly coming from Japan).

If this speculation is right though, it's certainly going to be another alternate take on the concept, like the new Nazca we got last arc or the current redo of Aku Aku's movie 5 forms, rather than tying into the existing anime or the closed game.

It could even be done in a way that just reuses the Animal Girls concept but avoids using any actual existing one and only features original characters. I'll be satisfied if we get the Keroro Friends for that arc though.

Had to check pic related again just to make sure about the one of the Keroron Balls being in Japan even though you had the snippet on the bottom right there, and with only 6 of the KBs spread throughout the world but all of them still being out of the platoon's hands, it all checks out.

When you put it that way it almost seems like that sneaky bastard Mine's been planning this for a while. Only thing I really have to add is that he might just go for similar but alternate designs for any other Friends that appear in the story to continue riding the wave.

On that note, I wonder if he'll actually do it after Easter Island, some other time sooner than later, or save it for last.

This story was almost certainly planned when Kemono Friends was going to end and they didn't expect the anime to be a huge success, so there wouldn't be any rush to tie into it. I guess there's the card game pack though, which is coming out next month and includes the Keroro Friends. If the arc starts immediately after this one, there would be some synergy with that.

They also could rush into it in order to jump on the bandwagon while the popularity is at its peak, but that could be seen as a cheap move. It did take a couple of years for Angol Fear to appear in the Keroro manga rather than doing the chapter as a Soul Calibur IV launch tie in.

Then again, Yoshizaki Mine did quickly throw a Keroro chapter in his old Space X Jubei manga, and the Keroro collaboration in the Kemono Friends Mobage was right after the first few months. So, his track record with this kind of thing is rather inconsistent.

Basically every project he worked on with some creative input (rather than just character design) has included references to his other work, aside from some old manga adaptations he worked on back during the 90s (like Dragon Quest Monsters and VS Knight Lamune).

The Kemono Friends anime might be the first exception if there isn't some Keroro reference or cameo in the final episode.

Then again he has even created characters just for the anime that have only gotten background cameos or even just name drops, which is kind of weird (like Australian Devil and Giant Penguin).

Ahu Ko Te Riku seen here is part of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahu_Tahai

Keroro is impressed at the stuctures, to which he remembers Fuyuki saying how most of the people in the island engaged in such cultural activities, therefore Easter Island is (was) an island of artists.

In true Keroro style he then just builds Gunpla and leaves everyone else to find the Keroron Ball there.

There's also space Jubei.

Speaking about him, I wonder if there's some kind of rights issue, since the anime removed his cameo from Dororo's debut story (this page is from his own manga though, not Keroro. In Keroro, he just appeared as one of the suspects when they were investigating who was the one that might have been attacking aliens).

Being as both were published by Kadokawa but only in different magazines (Newtype and Shonen Ace), that would be baffling.

That's why I thought the "I'm sorry!" page was weird. We've gotten short chapters before, so why would we get a special page about it this time?

Although, IIRC, I guess there was a note saying that the chapters would stay with normal length from now on once the 7 wonders of the world story started.

Does he mean to say the last episode was kino?

I was honestly expecting something more special, but after seeing shows fall off the deep end for or by their finales for the last several years, having one that's good is always satisfying. Everyone showing up behind the owls to get Bag/Kaban out of the Cerulean was so cliche but damn if it wasn't cool to see everyone like that. And then the reveals afterward, and the interactions...

Also, damn, with what's going on with BD preordering/sales and how many people for clamoring for more merch along with anything else related to the franchise, he and the anime staff are gonna be Scrooge McDuck-ing it hard (again in Mine's case after the 2005-2010 extent of mass Keroro popularity) very soon, huh.

The main problem is that any appearance in KF anime related material is very unlikely as long as humanity's fate isn't confirmed for the anime setting and things still weren't answered by the finale here.

A time skip shouldn't be an issue though, since the platoon hasn't aged at all in more than 500 years (based on Keroro's flashbacks with child Mois).
>>
So of course, Kemono Friends reminded me that this series existed and I only gave it a passing glance back in its heyday
The pastebin says chapters up to 195 are translated and some sparse ones after that
is there anyone working on those following chapters at all or are the raws impossible to find now?
>>
>>15371873

We actually have the raws linked there. The issue is the lack of a dedicated group going through everything in order.

The manga is also more wordy than action series, so even short chapters can end up with quite a bit of text.

>ch. 234-246 (volume 27, most recent release in Japan) - ch. 234-238 were officially translated into English on ComicWalker. ch. 239-246 in Japanese/no known English TL. Raws in Pastebin.
>ch. 247-current chapter, 258 (>>15350767) (not compiled) - Japanese/no known full English TL. Half-step or less translations for some in this and past Keroro threads (look in archive). Raws in Pastebin.

I think I have the raws for volumes 24-26 on another HD but I'm currently at work.

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have said that.

Dimensional stuff like in these recent Keroro chapters, or something like it done in another way, but "gone wrong" (either way) could also be used to justify an anime appearance for a few eps. It would /absolutely/ be a lazy way to have them appear the in the anime's Japari Park, no doubt about it, but it would still be fitting in the context of Keroro considering how highly advanced the Platoon's technology is and all the things they end up causing because their technology to do X or Y malfunctioned throughout the course of the entire manga and anime.

Dimensional traveling could work as a Keroro chapter (and that overall seems even more likely now considering how Mine randomly threw in Serval, Kaban and Lucky Beast for that apology page, which shows he apparently can use them in the Keroro manga without issues), but it'd be really out of place as a Kemono Friends episode.

There's also how the anime in the end mostly avoided fictional friends. The only one was Tsuchinoko, and in that case it was seen basically as a standard animal, rather than focusing on the yokai legends associated with it. And the "gods" were just tablets rather than Friends like in the game. It's possible the anime staff really wants to avoid fictional Friends in general.

On the other hand, that whole tablet filter set up did seem kind of odd. It apparently was just found there rather than man made. I guess if they go with Sandstar being an alien creation, like that would suggest, it's possible they could throw in the Keroro platoon as exposition bots for a season 2, since it seems like otherwise nothing would ever get answered. Although the tablets or something similar could just take Friend form somehow (based on the gods from the game) and also give that exposition.

It really wouldn't be that hard to have them show up via dimensional nonsense or just 4-wall horseshit.

>The real deal would be making the Platoon fit in that's actually entertaining.

I think something fairly easy that would work with the Kemono Friends anime format would be drawing comparisons between Keroro and a frog, like the salt water thing, hibernation and humidity (or rather lack of). Maybe the group meets only Keroro initially and only actually believe that she's an alien by the end when she leaves with the others. In a scenario like that the viewer wouldn't even need to know Keroro.

From a Keroro chapter point of view though, there's tons of interactions that could be done just based on the genderswap aspect. I think the game collaboration actually showed that pretty well at least for Giroro and Dororo, like all the teasing that Giroro got and Dororo as a girl actually being popular. There's also the bit with Keroro telling the player that she makes for a perfect girl, although that wasn't actually part of the story itself. If it's a Keroro chapter, interactions with the human supporting cast also would be possible.

I never thought about it before, but unlike every other human character in the manga it seems like Tomosu and Kaneami are stuck with their signature outfits every time they're wearing generic casual clothing, rather than popping wearing different stuff every time.

Looking through their appearances now, the only variation of casual wear (not counting stuff like swimsuits and such) is a winter version of their outfits (long sleeves for both, different collar and a muffler for Kaneami in at least one of her appearances).

Wonder why that is? Maybe make them stand out more in black and white? Or some other significance (for at least Kaneami, don't know what Tomosu's excuse is) or Yoshizaki just being lazy in this instance?

In any case, I never even noticed, given how underutilized they were/are in the manga so far.

Keroro.com had as an Aprils Fools joke a new marketing campaign, "Joshi Kousei Keroro", which was just the Keroro platoon cross dressing as high school girls. The images are offline already though. The anime used to do crossdressing jokes all the time, although they seem much rarer in the manga.

Someone saw it and made some neat fanart of Keroro and Tamama Friends version dressed in those outfits.

The shade of green in Keroro's hair there almost mixes so well with the turquoise in her uniform sweater that I initially confused the former with the latter. It's great.

Cute-wise though, that gyaru-ish kouhai Tamama takes the cake, pun possibly intended. In that universe, she'd definitely look like the type of girl who'd be a LINEhead on her phone with multiple straps/charms hanging off it, and stickers (of sweets, natch).

Come to think of it, even though that particular one is based on a joke, it would be cool if there were more alt-outfit Friend art out there in general, Keroro Friends or otherwise.

Probably the latter. My copy of it and the volumes afterwards are all fine aside from the normal aging; even though they were bought new, they were printed forever ago.

But yeah, Tokyopop was never known for their consistent quality, and you likely wouldn't even have to leave this board to know why, considering their handling of some of the Gundam manga they published in English. Keroro got off lucky, though, it seems, and was generally treated nicely by them, given it was always one of their top sellers.

She wears some ZR in some of her random outfits from the manga, but never in any of the anime ones, which are generally more remembered since there are only a few variations. Can't look through manga pages right now though.

She wears darker, although not black, tight high socks in that chapter where both her and Keroro kept using elemental form changes. I'm pretty sure there's at least one other chapter with a similar outfit.

I can't remember if she wears tights + skirt though.

Updated the pastebin again with some of the other stuff in the thread and some clarifications before it finally goes off to KemoFre-hastened Valhalla.

Once again, to any new peeps or lurkers:
What happens when these threads hit image limit is that, to help prevent fatigue from setting in, we generally reconvene 2 months later when the manga chapter after the next months' is posted unless someone else is really down for having one or for special occasions. It used to be every month or faster back when ComicWalker put out new chapters in English or when we had the 2014 anime shorts, but right now nothing new's really going on in Keroroland other than the manga and the KF related stuff, so yeah.
