>The most incidentally soulful thing in anime in the longest time
>Corporatism had to killed it off before it gets the chance to spread its wings

It's a gachaslop adaptation. Corporatism is the reason it exists in the first place.

>>280014549
No it wasn't. Are you retarded?

I fucking hate Kadokawa.
Imagine what Tatsuki had envisioned for us in Season 2.

I love this little dumb dumb like you wouldn't believe man...

>>280014549
The game closed down before episode 1 aired. The earliest viewers were people that watched it out of curiosity, or because they thought it would be a trainwreck. And then it became huge.

>>280014549
>>280015092
Everyone had already written off the franchise as a failure before it even aired. And Tatsuki singled handedly revived it through sheer passion of making an anime and having it air. Which it not only did but made waves in its own country and to a lesser extent abroad. If that isn't soul, I don't know what is.

esl retard

>>280014581
We would've had 2 more seasons and a movie by now

>had to killed it
Ban all who can't even write English.

>>280015320
>a movie
Every now and again, I imagine what that would be like and my delusional autistic ass thinks sometimes I should just make one myself.

Basically this

Yup, this is certified Tanoshii

>>280015662
There it is...the soul...

For me? it's Jaguar

I wonder how popular it would be today, especially with the gacha game since gacha games are the biggest thing ever in the past few years.

>>280014312 (OP)
It got killed by fans who boycotted season 2 because the studio comitted the crime of hiring a new director (something studios do all the time)

>>280017988
Fuck, I should get Shake Shack today. There's one in walking distance and I've been debating whether I want it or not.

>>280017988
spamming this retarded overgeneralization won't make it true

>>280017624
A fellow man of taste I see

>>280017922
If they bring back Tatsuki and nod to one of the current games, then I can see it getting relatively popular. Not nearly as much as it had for S1 but enough

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

>>280014312 (OP)
Didnt watch because looks like a low budget show made in MMD

mine won, tatsuki lost, the end.

>>280020603
I enjoyed way too much anime to say that I have a favourite
>>280020653
I'm not trying hard, I watched 3 episodes and it was exactly what I said, I can only imagine zoomers that grew up watching Dora the explorer and the likes of it are the target audience.

>>280014312 (OP)

Not even remotely, at least compared to genuinely soulful works like 20th century anime.

It was ruined by a single man envy and petty jealousy. Not corporatism.
There's a reason why Mine went MIA for nearly a decade now.

>>280021943
Honestly one of the worst betrayals of my childhood I've seen. Keroro Gunso was the first time I tracked fansubs for any anime that wasn't already big in the west

>>280021888
>you now remember all the band-wagon jumpers that came in for episode 11 and 12 after writing it off as bad
>True Tanoshii Enjoyers got a top tier anime with SOUL and pure unadulterated TANOSHII and you could tell everyone was having fun making the anime
>you now remember that KF11 and 12 outdid Madoka's NND numbers by a factor of 10 if not more. Nothing else airing at the time could even compete with it's numbers.
I wonder if an Anon saved the webm of the viewer numbers to show just how crazy the boom was.

>>280022081
This one?

All these years later, there still haven't been an MC duo with as much chemistry as Kaban and Serval

>>280020572
Dora's mah fucking homie bro, don't go dissin' Da 'Splora dawg

>>280022123
That's the one

Please kill yourself. It was a soulful, heartfelt show.

kemonomimi =/= furry faggot

>>280024397
I said to many furries adhered. Faggot.

>>280024500
I know what you said,and it doesn't make any sense
Why would furfags adhere to KF if it goes against what they like?

>>280014549
Isn't the "owner" of the game the one that hated the anime for being more popular than the game?

>>280024550
Be nice, he's a friend who isn't good at using his brain

>>280021943
He's gone radio silence for a whole decade?!
It's not that big of a deal.

>>280015092
>The game closed down before episode 1 aired
Did they never re-open it after the show's success?

But isn't is super popular? That's what I've learned from this thread

>>280014549
>it's been 8 years since I first started explaining people the (lack of) relationship between the gacha and the anime
fuck, I'm getting too old for this shit

>>280027282
Nope. If I had to guess considering everything else that happened that could've been a contributing factor to why things eventually played out as they did, though who knows with how little we've found out about it over the years.
>>280021943
It's so frustrating, legitimately all he had to do was what he does now where he just draws up new Friend designs from the shadows and nothing else.

>>280019575
Sugoi, you're a Friend who can read kanji!

Mentally ill furfags

Anon, it's just Japan being jelly about not getting in on the pony train and getting their own awfully, but soulfully animated childrens show which blows up into the stratosphere at which point the corporate in question and the crew attack the main creator and after their ousting create a stripped down and corpo-oriented version of the thing that zombies along for a while.
They just had it on 3x speed as they got there in a year as opposed to western's 3.

Kemono Friends is literally the perfect adventure anime.

I'm sad it never got any fangames, especially based off the fan creepypastas. I'd LOVE a sorta top-down game of the apartment complex creepypasta.

>>280022123
>gakkou gurashi
Damn it was really that popular? Surprised literally nothing was done about the franchise then. I did enjoy it but it was very obviously an off-season show you watch once and forget.

>>280014581
>tatsuki
where is he? what is he doing? did he really make 2 series and quit the industry?

>>280029014
It got a few over the years, mostly on booth though some are on steam like Cellien May Cry. Definitely deserved more though, thinking about what could have been always gets me thinking about Naby's never ever projects and how nice those would have been if they actually got finished

>>280028331
It's still an existing corporate property and they had him by the balls from the very beginning. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

>>280029074
Outside of some vtuber animation thing he got hired for last year, he's basically been in hibernation. Some hints at new works and some clear signs that they've been working on improving animation at irodori but otherwise not much

>>280029140
>Some hints at new works
The movie straight up had a release date of 2025, until the TV series cut the line.
Working on two big projects is not what I would call "hibernation".
Didn't they say Kemono Friends took like 5 years? He doesn't have an army of 100 animators under him like the average anime production, so it takes more time.

>>280031041
Tatsuki is always sleeping, silly. Even when he's working, he's sleeping. Until the next work comes out at least

>>280024550

How exactly is it soulful? It's a kid's show. If you consider kid shows soulful just watch Precure or something. The kemofure revisionism in here is quite insane if I were to be honest

>>280032713
Are you implying PreCure isn't soulful too? Get the fuck outta here
