I know, right? I think we should keep a list of prominent fanfiction, even if it's not in English. Personally I've found these very good:
1) https://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/12790 the 2nd season doujin by Waipa, I'm sure everybody knows about it already
2) http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31411028 the Cerulean Owl episodes that really deserve English translation, so far I've only done it in my language, but when I finish I'll give the author the timed japanese script subtitles so anyone can request those to make their own translation.
3) http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm33742502 The upcoming Kemono Instinct about Jungle Combi, they recently released the 1st episode. Translating this one would be hard for me since it's voiced which means no onscreen text. Nevertheless, the original textual fanfic it's based on seems to be pretty good and easily readable via google translate.
The other place didn't appreciate these works but I'm sure you will and perhaps we can find more pieces to add to this list.

In all honesty pastebin pro doesn't really make any difference to me one way or the other, but I do appreciate the gesture. A more useful way to help would be spreading it around since I'm way too autistic to do anything related to that.
I am sorry the project has been on hold but I've been actively involved in getting my novel published with legit editors the last months.

Thanks and you're welcome, I really needed to know if it's being postponed due to some external influence or whether the author is about to just drop it running out of motivation.
I recall you asking about user input and the direction the fanfic is going. I do admit I find some plot turns unexpected for KF (starting somewhere around the mutated plant), but on the other hand most of the existing fanfiction just tries to regurgitate the old ideas and memes (in the original sense) of the anime or at least the game. Seeing a creative effort more independent in that regard is always welcome.

That's a bit ironic since my goal is to include the cerulean queen/cerval arc from the game into S2f. I just felt it both needed to be there, and served as a perfect narrative threat.

Well it's fine for the game, as not many people know its plot anyway. Cerulean Queen is cool and it'll even be canon, since she was never destroyed but merely reduced to a small blob that got away.
I remember now the hints about Cerval in that mention of rainbow wings in ep4. However, the rumors (from guidebook 6?) are that somewhere between the game and anime another cerulean crisis happened, and so strong that Cerval had to be sacrificed, crystallizing her body to make that sandstar filter in the volcano with the help of 4 gods. It's part of what's being said in this page, actually >>860021, though Cerval mentions there are censored out.
I can't cite any verifiable sources on that, let alone the translated ones, but I've seen several mentions of it from both Japanese and English fans.

I think they changed it because instead of listening to the fans, they listened to the guys who said it looked like shit. So, in line with the universal and very stupid corporate principle of "fuck the core audience, always seek out new audiences", they went with a more conventional aesthetic.
But a cynical corporate approach only works out when you're Marvel, so they ended up with a style that's pretty much objectively worse. Just look at the shading in the eyes and hair.

I wish more anime would stop focusing on that aspect so much. The best shows tend to usually have a unique art style (not always good, but usually unique to that show), or when generic art styles are used, they tend to focus on other aspects and let QUALITY be part of the experience. Part of what made Kemono Friends great was that it took advantage of the QUALITY and incorporated it into the show itself.

I imagine they'll try to sell it off as being "closer" to the source material than the original. Because of course, the main reason why the entire franchise took off is because everyone was drawn to Yoshizaki's art in the game, and the success of the anime later must have been because of the large fanbase Kemono Friends already had.
Actually, I wonder if it's because they were unable to get the original assets. I can't imagine why they wouldn't be able to, but maybe they'll throw that excuse in somewhere down the line.

There's absolutely zero chance Yaoyorozu owns the models to the point Kadokawa can't legally use it, as taking away exclusive copyright in exchange for publication and funding is pretty much step A in any creative industry.
No, Kadokawa has them, they just don't care for them. You could imagine it's because of sheer pettiness, but corporate is all about convincing itself it's doing the right move. Hence my conclusion they're doing it to placate the criticism that season 1 looked bad.
What I don't understand is why they're still going for CG since that was far and away the first criticism. I would have gone with straight up conventional 2D animation if I was them.
No.862583
Actually, there's another theory - they have the models, but they also have new artists for season 2 who can't replicate Yaoyorozu's style, so instead of risking a clash of styles introducing new Friends alongside the original ones, they just went for a global redesign. That's a bit wasteful, but there's logic to it.

Actually Kadokawa doesn't own the source material produced by Yaoyorozu. Kadokawa gave Tatsuki a shit ton of freedom because they had to produce SOMETHING and expected the series to fail anyways. Those assets are not owned by Kadokawa and were specific to the show itself. Tatsuki can't use them because he doesn't own the Kemono Friends copyright, but Kadokawa had to produce their own assets because the art WAS owned by Tatsuki. This was one of the main reasons he left- Kadokawa was planning on firing him when the show became popular and they demanded that he hand over all of his art assets, which legally they didn't own.
No.862587
>>862585
Going into further detail, one of the reasons Kadokawa is doubling down as hard as they are on Kemono Friends is precisely because the IP scene for Kemono Friends is a shit. Assets for the various Kemono Friends media are each owned by different studios or different producers. If you want to think of it as "market shares," then Kadokawa owns the largest share (roughly 55% to 65%?) of the Kemono Friends market while the rest is split between a bunch of small-timers. Kadokawa has basically realized their fuckup now that the series has the potential to be a cash cow, and so they're trying to assert dominance over the smaller studios to force them to comply. Some of the methods they're employing have been pretty illicit bullying by threatening studios and such with cutting contracts, if not outright illegal such as the case with Tatsuki's assets, which is one of the main reason the Nips are as pissed off as they are. "No Tatsuki no tanoshii" is more about the attitude fans are taking about Kadokawa's bullshit shady business deals than it is about wanting Tatsuki to be in charge of the anime.

I refuse to believe a multimedia corporation could be so wholly out of touch that they believe the fact that KF was 3DCG was the defining factor in its popularity. I can understand execs not understanding why, but the different departments and teams have had over a year to look into why fans loved the show. From the way things are developing it'll end up being a case of Kadokawa wanting to differentiate their version of Kemono Friends from Tatsuki's while still retaining what they believe to be the core traits that made it unique. They want S2 to be the definitive version that everyone remembers, as >>862587 more or less alludes to. So it'll end up being, to noones surprise, a souless chink-shit copy.

It's irrational by all accounts, so there's no surprise they're completely fucking winging it with this "season 2". It really looks like they're retooling S1's cast for a full-on gag anime.
You can imagine a reasoning along the lines of

Is there something wrong with your head? The animation quality might be better, but the animation technique is about two decades old. Animation tools have evolved to allow the use of weighting mechanics while animating on a budget. Tatsuki's work consistently weighted characters so they didn't look like floaty aliens, and the only time they didn't was when it was for gags like Serval throwing the bus or when it made sense (ceruleans). It's like giving a high schooler movie-grade models and watching them make Gary's Mod-tier animations with them.

>Tatsuki's work consistently weighted characters so they didn't look like floaty aliens,
Tatsuki barely animated his models, multiple scenes included objects that were just dragged and not even properly animated, e.g. the bus in the opening or the escape scene in episode 9.
His characters didn't look like "floaty aliens" instead they looked almost as stiff as statues.
>Animation tools have evolved to allow the use of weighting mechanics while animating on a budget. Tatsuki's work consistently weighted characters
Both KF 1 and KF 2 are weighted, and both are badly weighted.
I can tell you why the movement in KF1 isn't floaty, almost all of the Friend animation is animated in 2's (12fps).
Many Ceruleans were animated in 1's (24fps), that's why their movement was floaty.
>The animation quality might be better, but the animation technique is about two decades old.
KF and KF2 use similar animation techniques, both are manually framed with no or barely any tweening.
KF2 animates characters in 24fps, KF1 in 12 fps. That's why the bad weightning & framing is more obvious in KF2.
For that matter I don't consider the animation in KF2 good (it's fairly bad), I just see it as better than KF1.

This season 2 material is a very good demonstration of how well Kadokawa and the remaining production team can produce an agreeable and decent series, with good characters, better animation, and better design. It's, as always, a good piece of work from the good concept designer and creator Yoshizaki Mine, who's creative capability exceeds most of those who have nothing better to do than to go on the internet to bitch and moan about the work he's doing.
Certain KF fanboys here have proven to all of us anons that they're incapable of doing anything more than hating and ccomplaining, with no arguments, no substance, and only dumb slogans like "no tatsuki no tanoshii". It's absolutely embarassing, especially when they grasp at straws like >>861274 which pretty much immediately turned out to be a fluke, but still it caused another wave of cringy fanboy rage at the company who has so gracefully given them this franchise they're now so obsessed over.
And if you look at posts like >>864806 you can see again that it's nothing but speculation, nothing but "yeah I bet S2 is gonna be this and that, reeee i hate kadokawa!" which is especially cringy since nobody has even seen one single episode of it, but regardless fanboys seem to think they get to have an opinion. Please stop being a bunch of bitching, cringy autists, learn to accept that change and progress can actually be a good thing as it is in this case, and don't try to form an opinion if you don't actually know or understand anything about the subject matter. If you do that, then maybe we can have a proper discourse here on this board, maybe we can actually properly discuss Kemono Friends, whether it's the first or the second season. Thank you.

Kadokawa's is well equiped for the future, they have a good line up of manga which can still get adapted (Dungeon Meshi, Otoyomegatari), popular LNs that can get sequels( Index, SAO, Overlord, Konosuba, Re:Zero, Youjo Senki, etc.) popular new LN series e.g. 86, and they have good connections in the industry.

While I can agree that some fans definitely go a little bit overboard, you sound like a pretentious prick who has everything figured out. If they didn't fire Tatsuki and everything was going "normal", how can you confidently make a prediction about it not lasting? The series lends itself to an easy formula, you have cute animal girls with their animal quirks, add humans or different elements to shake things up.
I won't paint Kadokawa as the evil empire or anything, but they can have really stupid decisions. Kancolle is growing stale, the new girls aren't making waves like the older shipgirls and a chinkshit copy is offering tits, lolis and a more active gameplay style than unfair RNG causing le ebin salt; meanwhile chinkshit game is already getting an anime and a PS4 game that looks different from their core game. They bought the rights to Yume Nikki, a HUGE indie darling, and they're doing squat with it. I'll fanboy for a moment and say that they had easy money with KF, having a cheap adaptation that ignited interest in the franchise after previous failed attempts at a mobile game and a manga; they could've let these small-timers produce another season or two and it would mean more money, instead SOMETHING happened (I'm not discarding YYZ or Tatsuki being at fault maybe, but we're never getting the full story), they fire the guy, have the seiyuu doing damage control, even after the free promotion and the commercials with two huge companies. They won't suddenly die anytime soon, and they're not the devil incarnate, but they can be really stupid.

Tatsuki single handedly revived the KF IP, that's the sole reason people are upset instead of just ignoring the whole situation. Even if it didn't and somehow died after the second season, Tatsuki was a valuable asset they decided to throw out the window because some rich faggot's son got uppity about him.
You're also implying Touhou doesn't make money, which it does. It doesn't have an official anime series and whatnot because Zun doesn't want one.
>Kadokawa's is well equiped for the future,
>it's okay to kill the golden egg laying goose, I have another one of those
It doesn't matter if they have other means of making money, they are a company, for companies more money is always better. They just made a whole lot of money out of what was supposed to be a contractual obligation, it won't cause them to instantly die of bankruptcy, but no one is happy with what happened.
>The mere fact that Zun works with Kadokawa for official Touhou books/manga/magazines shows that they aren't the evil company KF fags believe they are.
>implying
One, contractual obligations exist, ZUN could be working with them and them only because of contracts.
And two, the company having good people and bad people is not mutually exclusive. There can be cunts and retards that caused the KF situation, as well as decent people that deal with ZUN.
Besides, the problem is not "hurr durr the company is ebil" like the strawman you're attacking, people are fucking upset because Kadokawa fucked up and keeps trying to shift the blame onto others and sweep the whole deal under the rug instead of just admitting they fucked up.

I agree with you, Kadokawa does make stupid decisions, but I can't say if removing Yaoyorozu from KF was stupid, the only certainly stupid thing they did in the KF fiasco was making the Seiyuu apologize.
It's not just Yume Nikki, Kadokawa owns RPG Maker, but for years they haven't published the official manga/novels for many RPG Maker games.
Still, I also believe that they make many right decisions, otherwise they wouldn't attract so many talented people.

>One, contractual obligations exist, ZUN could be working with them and them only because of contracts.
There's no reason for Zun to sign a uniquely oppresive contract with Kadokawa, the guy owns one of the most important otaku franchises, he has more than enough money.
In the mid/late 2000s most Touhou manga got published by Ichijinsha. Only one series got published by Kadokawa, but over the years Zun has moved more and more content to Kadokawa.
Since 2013 all new Touhou manga/magazines/books get published by Kadokawa.
>the problem is not "hurr durr the company is ebil" like the strawman you're attacking
It isn't a strawman. Why do you say that "Kadokawa fucked up", you don't know what happened behind the scenes, it could have easily been the fault of Yaoyorozu.
Still, you blame Kadokawa despite having no proof.
What about the timeline contradictions? Both Fukuhara and Kadokawa confirm that negotiations broke down in August, but Tatsuki claims that he got the memo that he was "fired" on September 25.
Did Fukuhara never bother to tell Tatsuki? Was the entire "Tatsuki" got fired tweet just a negotiation tactic to put pressure on Kadokawa? Why did none of the other members of KFP publicly take Yaoyorozu's side?
What about Fukuhara's questionable university presentation? The solution he provided for the problems of the anime industry was basicially a Western take-over.
The Western companies(Netflix, Amazon) carry all the production cost, but the studio retains all the copyright with exception of the anime distribution right, i.e. the studio can sell merchandise.
Most of anime revenue comes from merchandies, events, etc.
This would mean that the studio would get most of the profit, but carries zero risk. It's a delusion.

You're talking as if people getting tricked into signing contracts that fuck them isn't common.
And before you straw man, I'm not saying he necessarily signed a contract that fucks himself, I'm just saying that Zun moving content to Kadokawa doesn't instantly mean the company is made up of perfect saints.
>It isn't a strawman. Why do you say that "Kadokawa fucked up"
Are you aware that huge companies can fuck up without being a monolithic evil entity?
"They fuck up" means "they fucked up", the "hurr durr they're ebil" strawman you bring has nothing to do with it.
>Both Fukuhara and Kadokawa confirm that negotiations broke down in August, but Tatsuki claims that he got the memo that he was "fired" on September 25.
Negotiations are negotiations, firing is firing. It's entirely possible that Kadokawa took some time to think on the situation, talk with layers, and think before actually going through the road of no return that was firing Tatsuki.
>Was the entire "Tatsuki" got fired tweet just a negotiation tactic to put pressure on Kadokawa?
If it was, Kadokawa could've easily said that Tatsuki was lying, which would take his credibility down a lot and possibly prevent the whole situation, yet they haven't done so. Why?
>Why did none of the other members of KFP publicly take Yaoyorozu's side?

Again, life isn't black and white. Kadokawa can have some narcissistic/stupid people in the company, but it doesn't mean they're an evil entity or that everyone against them is bad.
The fact is that something happened, Tatsuki gave his version, everyone else answered questions but Kadokawa was the only one to wake up VAs at 2am to appease otakus, shit out a bunch of "there's a reasonable explanation for this, which I'm not going to say" and not answer any inquiries.

>Negotiations are negotiations, firing is firing. It's entirely possible that Kadokawa took some time to think on the situation, talk with layers, and think before actually going through the road of no return that was firing Tatsuki.
Anon, Tatsuki isn't a Kadokawa employee. He works for Yaoyorozu, Tatsuki getting fired and Yaoyorozu getting removed from KF2 is the same event.
>If it was, Kadokawa could've easily said that Tatsuki was lying, which would take his credibility down a lot and possibly prevent the whole situation, yet they haven't done so. Why?
No, they couldn't because they can't say that Tatsuki lied with any certainty or proof, negotiations happened with Fukuhara. Tatsuki only said that he got a memo that said that he wouldn't work on KF2 on September 25.
>You're talking as if industry blacklist wasn't really big in the Anime industry.
Anon there's no blacklist for important production companies. The likes of TV Tokyo, Bushiroad, AT-X could have easily pressured Kadokawa.
On the other hand, it's true that the smaller companies on the committee could get theoretically blacklisted.
>Again, life isn't black and white. Kadokawa can have some narcissistic/stupid people in the company, but it doesn't mean they're an evil entity or that everyone against them is bad.
Again, your black/white strawman. Again, you dodge my questions.
Fukuhara is the Yaoyorozu producer who was responsible for the negotiations with Kadokawa, he was the person on Yaoyorozu's side who was responsible for getting the season 2 contract.
>Tatsuki gave his version
He only gave one short tweet, and then complained almost a year later about the KF2 script situation. If you followed the KF fiasco you would know that almost all information comes from KFP and Fukuhara.
>everyone else answered questions
>Tatsuki gave his version
Actually no he didn't, Tatsuki gave one short tweet, that's all he did. Which is perfectly fine with me because this entire drama isn't Tatsuki's reponsibility.
>everyone else answered questions
Actually nobody answered questions, KFP/Kadokawa and Yaoyorozu represented by Fukuhara just threw accusations at each other.
KFP gave their versions of the event one day after Tatsuki said he was "fired".
Their official reason is that Yaoyorozu and Tatsuki used the Kemono Friends property without consulting all concerned parties, and refused normalization of the relationship.
Then Yaoyorozu pulled out of negotiations in August.
Fukuhara said they had permission for everything, and that they got informed that they wouldn't work on KF2 in August. They only thing KFP and Fukuhara agreed on was the timeframe.
For that matter the Kemono Friends IP isn't exclusively held by Kadokawa, it's held by Kemono Friends Project.

There's a new protagonist (?) referred to as "child", voiced by Yui Ishikawa, and Caracal isn't voiced by the same VA as in the game either.
I see a mild ruckus on twitter about Kaban in regards to this, but I can't figure out its meaning.

They can have the same seiyuu and still be a prequel. I know the first season had Serval 1.0 with a different voice, but here the Friends will most probably have slightly different personalities, so that means the seiyuu doing a slightly different voice.
The ruckus is probably Kaban not appearing, if it's a prequel. If it's not a prequel and Kaban is being retconned out of existence, then I can understand people getting angry. To me the best damage control scenario would be that it's a prequel, and this child is the spitting image of Kaban; Mirai borrows her her hat, and one of the child's hair gets stuck in the helmet. A lingering shot, making you understand that this hair will later become Kaban. That way you can not have the OG Kaban, but allude to her existence.

>The new season's story begins with Serval and Caracal finding a "human" child in the forest. As they travel with the child, they meet new Friends, uncover the secrets of Japari Park, and become involved in an event that will "shake the earth." A previous visual (seen right) reads, "Found new friends."
Such an original story. Well, since we already have the halfassed Welcome to Japari Park which is actually completely based off the Nexon game and thus features original (for it) voices, it would be silly to make the new season about the exact same thing.

The new kid is gonna be in replacement Scrappy/Poochie once they reveal her. If it turns out that it's a whiny/2cool4skool or any other negative trait, people will hate her like Milhouse in Minami-ke 2. I'm not liking it, one thing would be to ignore Kaban, but this feels like an outright soft reboot and re-telling the same story.

It does, and it's such a retarded move. The soft reboot's reason for being is cashing on brand name and making a very basic, simple thing that doesn't need to get bogged down in legacy. You can't soft reboot something that's only two years old, only had one iteration, and still carries a significant amount of spite from everybody who knows the brand name. The only ways this would make sense to corporate is 1) they're just saying fuck it and banking on outrage somehow or 2) they see themselves as so fucking infallible they can just do season 1 again and hit the same level of success if not more if they do the same shit. The synopsis saying "solving the mysteries of Japari Park" seems to hint towards the latter and it's staggeringly retarded.

I'm still thinking they're aiming this towards children and the new MC will be annoying as shit to reflect that. Expect to see her pulling dumb pranks on the friends first episode to show how "wacky and fun" new Kaban can be.
Damn idiots. You can't replace perfection.

Says her contract with the production company expired and she decided to become a freelancer. I'd say that doesn't necessarily mean she won't be in the show, but the fact that she also thanks them for giving her a chance at achieving her dream of being a seiyuu might suggest she'll quit voice acting all together.
Did they cast her because she looks like Fennec?

Going freelance is very harsh for a seiyuu and should only be done by AAA seiyuu. Most Agencies take a 20% cut and junior Seiyuu are paid terribly (15000¥ per episode). Including the agency cut, this would mean that a junior seiyuu makes 156000¥ per 13 episode anime. Junior Seiyuu also have at least to my knowledge no rights for royalities, which normally is most of the money that well-known Seiyuu receive.

The owner of halfchan was and is notorious for performing moderation-for-hire with large Japanese corporations, especially as regards censoring discussion containing negative or embarrassing content. Their company offers "social media" services with very high price tags and strict contractual secrecy and then deals like "please ban or discourage discussion about KF" are done verbally so that the client companies involved can have deniability around the payments.
