So I missed a conversation about KF earlier today, but feel I that I could at least comment on it a bit for posterity's sake. To start, I'm going to quote myself back here >>6294

>One can beat around the bush and try to throw theoretical roadblocks in the way over semantics in definitions, but if you really use /a/, you KNOW what the generals are. We should all do what must be done for the betterment of the place. Sacrifices must be made, personal whims of "but I like that one" ignored.

I'm also going to re-quote myself from back in June, as I had foreseen. https://sys.4chan.org/j/thread/5890#q6194
>We'll see if KF threads are any good in a few months. 6 months+ with no new relevant content (such as episodes, chapter releases etc) is a learned estimate for how long it takes something to go bad on /a/.
>"Bad" here I might define as:
> - the threads feel forced and are often bumped just to keep them alive with fluff posts
> - the users are there more obviously to keep each other company than to discuss the topic
> - there is very little direct discussion on the series, quite often just dumping as fan arts are usually the only new thing to share at all
> - if anyone were to watch the threads for a few days or weeks, repetitive posting patterns would begin to appear; this is hardly ever a good thing

What we have today hits "threads feel forced", "bumped to keep alive with fluff posts" and "users are there more to keep each other company" type things. So if I were to pretend to score an average thread with this, they're about half-bad now. There is (massively to their benefit) sometimes a lot of actual, dense discussion; people are NOT done actually-talking about this yet. I predicted extra fan material keeping this afloat on /a/, but rather what we got was extra real content by the producer in so-called 12.1, various ads that were ~ "12.2" and so on. This is incredibly abnormal for the usual patterns of what we normally see in this medium. (Continued)
