/a/ - Animu & Mango

>>770865

I want to make a baby come from Shoebill.

>>770865

Yes but only one.

>>770865

Well, where else do babies come from?

Did they ever mention if there are more Friends of the same kind, or is it only one girl for each animal? I want to see a group of Servals having fun together or Emperors being sensual.

>>770891

Just a good ol' Friends

Never meanin' no harm.

Beats all you never saw

Been in trouble with the law

Since the day they was born

>>770942

In the guide book they mention that it's possible for multiple friends of the same type to exist at the same time.

>>771062

Ibis - Judas Priest's Painkiller on vinyl and a Les Paul

Grey Wolf - A shit-ton of art supplies

Hululu - A picture of Grape-kun on a silver frame

Lion and Moose - Road Warrior/Legion of Doom cosplays

Raccon- Shiny bitz

Fennec - a restraint collar for Raccon

>>771062

>Tsuchinoko

A copy of the Divine Comedy, the greatest contribution autism has made to mankind

>Serval

An easy-to-use camera, it really looks like she'd enjoy immortalizing moments

>Shoebill

All volumes of Komi-san wa komyushou

>Capybara

A sauna booth

>>771062

I would get Otter a set of juggling balls.

>>771074

>protect your Serval with the power of tanoshi

I wonder if you could get all the friends, and for each one pick a gun that suits their personality.

>>771062

Jaguar- A lighter raft made out of good materials.

Alpaca- A coffee percolator, some cans of fancy tea leaves and a thermos if she wants to carry her tea during her mountain climbing.

Lion- A big ol' scratching post.

Oryx and Aurochs- matching guard uniforms, either something silly like American Gladiators or sukeban uniforms. That or make both groups dress like American Gladiators/Sukeban, and adopt nicknames like Calypso and Turbo.

Wild Dog- a cute dog collar.

>>771074

Well it should be. To bad I can't find webm I have of 05:28.

>>770954

Futa friends gattai with other futa friends?

>>771460

I want to be the serval.

>>771479

No, wait, I want to be the all-powerful lion-sama!

>>771481

>>771093

>make both groups dress like American Gladiators/Sukeban, and adopt nicknames like Calypso and Turbo

Get Lion's group in on that, too. I'd say Lion's got a good enough mane to be Malibu.

>>771514

I need a kemono friends animal crossing clone.

>>771690

I'm waiting for a kemono friends event in AC pocket camp. It's such an obvious thing to do, and Nintendo put anime stuff in other games before (Mario Maker), they have to do it.

>>771993

JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION!

https://mobile.twitter.com/irodori7/status/944564636895940608

So Tatsuki received and award by Twitter as anime of the year or something like that. I don't know Moon so dunno what he wrote.

>>772797

The mares and maybe Aurochs would have a huge fanbase. Rhino would look goofy.

>>772797

I don't know, I think they strike a delicate balance actual animal parts would disturb.

>>772873

I'd imagine Kadokawa's situation must've been a huge boost, sadly. Though episode 11 and Grape-kun were huge events as well.

>>772888

There is such a thing as bad publicity. Gawker has proven that.

>>772797

>Aurochs minotaur

>>773055

I'd love to see how would the girls react to videogames.

>kaban: she's a human friend, so she observes the mechanics and masters the game in 10 minutes

>serval/jaguar/lion/ocelot: can't stop slapping the big ol' ball in the joystick or pawing the big colorful buttons on the controller

>raccoon/otter: being dexterous with their hands, they keep making the character move like a spaz and may be able to trigger glitches and bugs; they can't play the game to save their lives

>ibises/PPP: naturally gifted at rhythm games, toki has beautiful graceful moves

>alpaca: the screen is full of spit because she kept dying

>>771096

These people could have so much fun if they were to come to the States. Shame that Japan is so cucked when it comes to weapon laws.

I'm seriously thinking about installing itunes just to buy the new Japari Cafe 2 album...

This show sucks.

>>774152

No one asked you, /v/.

>>774153

I'm just kidding, I love this show but am so starved for attention I like to say inflammatory things so that I provoke a response.

>>774201

Goddamn, and I just paid for the Serval Figma yesterday. The series burned bright for a cash-in and they decided to kill it before it shined even brighter. What pains me is that there WAS gonna be Season 2 in fucking March before corporate bullshit set in. I wonder if they'll get off the Japari Boat now, or will we get HILARIOUS comedy spinoffs with the girls saying their catchphrases over and over and with gratituous fanservice, or a grimdark second season for edgy smart people like me.

>>774216

It's just Kadokawa apparently, they ended up fucking Kancolle and even Gamera (there's still no signs of the reboot film being made, and it was supposed to come out this year).

>>774201

Grape-kun died in vain.

>>774234

>As long as Yaoyorozu can make other shows

I bet there's at least one non-retarded person in charge of doing something anime related somewhere in Japan who's just waiting for the right moment to hire Yaoyorozu.

>>774242

Let's see him make another girls collection series.

>Gun lolis

>Vehicle girls

>Plant girls

>Adapting from another failed mobile game

>>774276

I'd be down for plant girls, but I think Tatsuki is too creative to fall back to just doing not-Kemono Friends.

>>774276

>Gun lolis

With Upotte and that chink mobile game /k/ just discovered there would be 3 different set of gun girls. Therefore I doubt he'd do that.

>Vehicle girls

It would be overshadowed by KanColle and to a lesser extent GuP.

>Plant girls

That would be really just not!Kemono Friends.

>Adapting from another failed mobile game

Then he can do whatever he wants, and it's not bound to be anything like Kemono Friends.

>>774283

There's also this guy who said they spent the last few months trying to work out a deal but Kadokawa refused to budge and it fell through.

https://twitter.com/fukuhara_ystd/status/945943082431758336

>>774283

I don't know how it works, but something tells me Miyuhan will stay close to Tatsuki and Yaoyorozu, and will probably volunteer to do the OP or ED of their next project. She really does feel affected by the whole ordeal.

>>774287

I'd like to hear their sessions and discussions with the bigwigs, but I'm sure you'd hear the most corporate and stubborn excuses to not bring them back. What, did Tatsuki dress up someone's daughter/grandaughter like Serval and fuck her? Even for stubborn Japanese businessmen decisions, this one sounds completely unreasonable.

>>774290

it's really just a matter of not wanting to admit your big corporation and all its experienced executive should suck it up and admit the ten guys at Yaoyorozu were the right ones for the job. When you slave away at a desk job and your one prospect is becoming part of management, the belief that you're here because of merit is one hell of a drug.

>>774301

>admit the ten guys at Yaoyorozu were the right ones for the job.

Is there a recent example of the opposite of this? A huge budget anime with a lot of marketing and experienced people working on it that flopped massively?

>>774326

Dunno if to call it a flop, but Kobayashi-san, maybe. Beautiful animation and all, but it barely got a Kanna figure. I read that Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryoukou got really low sales and that pains me, it's wonderful.

Let's not get into Urara Meirochou either.

>>774327

Oh, and Nichijou did poorly in sales too, had to wait years for a BD. Don't really know of a series I dislike that did poorly but had huge budget.

>>774327

That shitty anime about anime characters coming to life? The one with the annoying protagonist, the paizuri outfit redhead and the girl that just wouldn't fucking stop talking. I don't know if it sold poorly though, or if it was just shit but still sold.

>>774330

Dunno which series you're talking about, anon.

>>774334

Re Creators I guess.

>>774330

>paizuri outfit redhead

Need more for research

>2017, soon 2018

>No evangelion opening in Kemono Friends style

How disappointing.

>>774209

>I bet there's at least one non-retarded person in charge of doing something anime related somewhere in Japan

>That's what I'm thinking as well, their ability to produce gold out of nothing can't have been lost on everyone.

Pretty sure this is the second time in a short while that there are issues at Yaoyorozu.

We also don't know exactly why the deal with Kadokawa failed, I wouldn't put all the blame on Kadokawa without any proof.

> grimdark second season for edgy smart people like me

Gen Urobuchi & Ufotable present Kemono Friends season 2.

In all seriousness, I have no clue who Kadokawa is going to hire for Kemono Friends season 2.

Since there are not that many big 3DCG studios, it seems quite hard to replace Yaoyorozu and I am not sure if Kadokawa is willing to change Kemono Friends to 2D.

>>774385

What are you talking about? Not only is there one but it's a 30 minute epic in addition to that.

I am so upset right now!! I come back from a great Christmas vacation to this sadness! Why Kadokawa? Why do you have to steal all of my Sugoi and Tanoshii!

>>774394

Nice contribution to the KEMONO FRIENDS thread, fucking retard.

>>774201

I wonder me if this petition will still working:

https://www.change.org/p/けものフレンズ視聴者のみんなへたつき監督辞めないで

>>774478

By the time episode 12 was being written, let alone produced, I'm fairly certain Yaoyorozu had no illusions of a second season.

You have to remember fucking nobody expected this to be anything else than the winter season's bottom feeder.

He just wanted the Friends to have a hopeful ending in spite of everything.

Tatsuki has kept himself busy over the past few months however. That station master short he made a few months ago he worked on again, almost 5 minutes now.

>>774478

I'd rather have the ending the way it is instead of a depressing one. The viewer can imagine all kinds of adventures that the Friends go on.

>>774528

ASMR Stingray is so damn Moe.

>>774570

Kasha~

>>774528

I hope he gets to do a full anime series like this and get big enough to rub in in Kadokawa's faces.

So what do you think is going to happen to KF now?

Who should do/direct the second season? Should KF remain 3DCG or should they switch to 2D?

>>774637

S2 was already in production with another company, hence the seagull girl. But Tatsuki's S2 is probably gone. Will probably stay 3D unless Kadokawa chuck cash at a 2D adaptation to try and draw in former fans.

>>774638

As a potential director what would you think about Kyougoku Takahiko (LL, Houseki no Kuni) he has shown that he can do 3D and cute girls.

It would be my first choice for KF season 2.

>>774528

According to some Nip twitter users, it seems that a leaflet/poster at C93 "announces" a new TV anime by Tatsuki.

Can't speak Japanese but here's the link:

https://twitter.com/MURASAKI_KAZUHA/status/946551752320466945

>>774655

I think that guy is on a whole different level, LLS1 and Houseki no Kuni's direction are pretty fucking good, above average at the very least. But he also directed GATE which was pretty meh. I bet he'd do well with Friends though.

But now I'm thinking, anyone they pick to direct KF season 2 will know about the whole Kadokawa vs Tatsuki thing. They could very well try to make a second season that respects what was done in S1 and Tatsuki's vision of KF, at least partially.

Unless they're a total bitch who bends over to any whim Kadokawa has, and I bet that's the kind of guy they're looking for to do it.

>>774691

That ass is very prominent.

>>774691

I can already say he's full of himself, and should fuck off, looking at that typical "super hot adult woman" design.

That's not what made Kemono Friends a success, and I'll be happy seeing him drown in his own ambition, if that's the way he chose.

>>774738

It's not very Friendly to wish ill on someone for doing something they want to do just because it doesn't appeal to you.

>>774757

Is he making some alternate-setting Durarara?

>>774691

>>774757

What is?

>>774570

>>774528

There's an ASMR turtle as well now. Seems like there will be spirit animals that speak in ASMR sounds. I wonder which spirit will have the intense slurping sounds.

>>775285

No! This is not happening!

>>774738

>I can already say he's full of himself

I kinda agree.

I have a big fear that this is going to be a "deep" cyberpunk anime.

Tatsuki's animation works with something light hearted like KF, but it will be impossible to take an anime serious when it's filled with cheap animation and animation errors.

I still remember the bus moving without it's wheels being animated.

If such a thing happens in a serious anime, then it will be posted for years in QUALITY threads.

>>775564

>Cyberpunk

>But with lighthearted character and surface-level story

>And all the DEEP is kept in the background

Could work. The ass shot seems to indicate he gargled too much nier automata to avoid the pitfall you're talking about though.

>>775560

You are literally sitting in a Kemono Friends thread.

>tfw all those extinct animals will never have their own representation

Weep, for what has been lost can not be replaced.

>>775631

As far as I'm aware Yoshizaki Mine hasn't been sacked and he's the one who made the designs, not Yaoyorozu.

>>775631

Says who?

If we can have mythical animals like Yatagarasu or Tsuchinoko then I'm pretty sure that we also have some extinct animal friends.

Sadly I don't know enough about extinct animals to pull out a list of all the friends and pinpoint which are

>>775631

>>775635

See >>771080 again.

>>775584

I wouldn't have an issue if post-apocalyptic/dystopian/(insert word)punk + comfy becomes a short fad, starting with Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryoukou.

I would have an issue if it's pretty much cute girls doing cute things but with a darker color palette, you need to address the bleak situation.

>>775834

Very nice lewd friends.

>>776057

My Heart can't do this. Penguins are born flightless, but with wings, so they can at least dream.

Grape-kun reached heights of pure love that most men won't reach.

>>775834

I like how small these girls are portrayed.

>>776071

I didn't notice that. Wish they showed some panels with Beaver or Raccoon.

>>774390

>>774385

>Anno shits on his fanbase as his purse and ego continue to bloat.

>He'll continue to milk his work with a fourth movie, supported by a giant budget.

<Tatsuki poured his heart and soul into his work, worked an the budget of half a cup instant Ramen.

<He get's fired as a reward.

Pavilion is supposed to release some time this month right? Everyone hype for another delay?

>>776464

They kind of did. The studio sided with Tatsuki, saying they wouldn't work with out him and in the previous months since, they've been negotiating with Kadokawa to get him back. But they refused to budge and they walked out.

>>776464

>>776448

>>776313

>>776470

Neither Tatsuki nor Yorayozura got fired. Tatsuki works for Yorayozura.

And Kadokawa didn't sign a contract for S2 with Yorayozura.

They were not fired, there was never a contract with them for S2 in the first place.

>>776471

Ahh, okay. Still, I'm glad that Yorayozura stuck with Tatsuki through it all.

>>776478

>doesn't serval specifically mention her ears at some point?

Either she does or it is mentioned doing that section with the zoologist for the real Serval.

>>776472

Tatsuki wasn't even the issue.

Kadokawa couldn't find an agreement with Yaoyorozu.

According to Kadokawa, they used the IP without contacting or sharing information through the appropriate channels and didn't want to normalize the relationship.

This is the official reason, why the negotiations between Kadokawa and Yaoyorozu broke down.

>>776523

I don't believe for a second KF is a philosopher's stone. The success didn't rely on a formula but rather on some small-time creators' drive. It's lightning in a bottle that would have run its course eventually and Kadokawa wasted even that.

>>776524

It would have been nice to have just one more season, all those friends that the new region held could have been a trove of new adventures.

>>776570

I know. The fact that we'll never get S2/Fragile Friends: Farewell Ruins of the Sandstar pains me too.

>>776570

I guess there's always fan work. There's plenty of official friends designs to go with.

>>776570

>It would have been nice to have just one more season

There's going to be a season 2, which will be created by another studio.

>>776742

That's what she gets for teaching little Friends about clothes.

>>776949

I would never provoke Hippo-san.

Hippos are hyper aggresive. I am surpised that she didn't rip Shoebill apart.

>>776963

This strip seems to be based on real ecology though.

>A shoebill often benefit from living alongside hippos. These huge amphibious mammals bulldoze channels through papyrus swamps, allowing shoebills access to otherwise inaccessible feeding areas. They also force fish to the surface, making them easier for the bird to capture.

Saw one on safari. The fuckers move. They don't plod along like a fat man, their legs are almost under their whole mass and they just trot along like they're made of nothing.

I'm not sure if it's them or crocodiles, but I believe that factoid about them running as fast as a racehorse.

Also, never visit the hippo house at the zoo. They mark their territory by shitting and flicking their tail back and forth. It's the closest thing to the smell of death, if it doesn't surpass it.

>>777235

What?

>>777237

Are you the same guy who saw the giraffes headbutting eachother in the vagina or whatever?

>>777237

Adult males hippos can weigh up to 3,310 lb and run at approximately 19mph.

Don't fuck with hippos.

>>777284

They are scary. Far more dangerous than the large sharks. A shark might not even see you as food, and will only attack if provoked or very hungry.

A hippo will just kill you for being in it's territory, there are cases where they toppled boats and killed 10 people.

They also have around 500 human kills every year, making them one of the most dangerous animals

>>777110

>>777043

You could take a screenshot from the very end.

>>776694

Which will almost certainly ultra generic cash grab like all the other shows of this nature.

>>778698

>anthromorphic

They are cute girls dressed up as animals, not some weird furry abomination.

>>778735

Do you actually know what the word anthromorphic means? This is a honest question. If you don't know it then please look it up. Else you might make yourself look like even more of a fool in the future.

>>778737

Not the same person, but

>having human characteristics

or

>the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities.

<Neither really applies

>>778789

I will be mad if the future official works make them lewd or violent. Nothing wrong with their sexy outfits or using force against Ceruleans, but I don't ever want to see Serval groping Kaban's butt or Arai falling tits-first on Fennec. That isn't fanart, of course, fanart gets a pass.

>>778832

There were a few suggestive moments, but it never felt like it was forced.

Behead those who lewd Arai-san.

>>778860

I agree with you my brothers. The friends must never be lewded!

>>775834

I binge-watched the whole thing today while sick, and I expect to have fever dreams about getting chased by Serval-chan and pulling her ears and tail.

>>779297

Just don't sex her, anon.

That's bestiality and God will judge you.

>>779850

>? I swear if anything happens to this project I'm gonna end it, it's the last hope out there.

What project are you talking about?

It seems to me that it's about a KF game, the tweet itself is according to Google TL just stating the obvious.

>>779850

I hope that's not the case. They've already ruined S2, fired Tatsuki, damaged a good small time company, dragged out the voice actors to damage control for them, and killed any potential Kemono Friends had. Not to mention other projects such as You up Senki getting a shitty recap movie and somehow getting their hands on fucking Yume Nikki of all things. I'm not surprised if they feel threatened by a free fan project; that gem he's polishing is a thousand times more valuable than anything they could possibly shit out.

When will there greed end?

>>779868

>You up Senki getting a shitty recap movie

And? That's standart in the anime industry, and makes it highly likely that a season 2 will follow.

Stop acting like only Kadokawa does recap movies.

> their hands on fucking Yume Nikki of all things

Kadokawa likes to fund smaller projects. Yume Nikki isn't something that would get an anime without Kadokawa's involvement.

There's also the fact that Kadokawa currently seems to have an interest in Japanese indie horror games (The Witch's House manga).

>fired Tatsuki, damaged a good small time company

They didn't fire Tatsuki. There was no agreement with them and Yaoyorozu.

I know that it's popular to blame large companies, but it's not even clear who's to blame for this entire mess.

>>779872

Isn't it not an issue if it is considered a parody game under japanese law? That's how I thought doujin groups get by with their works during comiket.

>>779898

>That's how I thought doujin groups get by with their works during comiket.

Doujin works are theoretically illegal, but Japanese companies generally allow doujins and in some cases even encourage them.
