In an article on the show in some CG magazine, the staff mentioned they opted to go for 3D because it was easier and more efficient to handle all the different animal patterns on the clothes.

this makes me wonder what the show would've looked like if they opted for a Gankutsuou/Mononoke-esque visual style with fixed patterns and 2d designs

Yeah, Gankutsuou was my thought as well. But lets be serious here, Kemono is being made on a shoestring budget with very limited staff whose production started after the game had bombed and eventually shut down. No one in the committee was expecting it to catch on the way it did.

From what I heard, the game and anime started production at the same time, it just took much longer for the anime to get put together, probably because of the small team and all of the meticulous planning and design that's clearly gone into the show. The director mentioned on twitter (when talking about his surprise at his popularity) that he had been pretty much working on it for the past 500 days and hadn't had time to notice that it had taken off.

Which is a pretty cost effective save, but I was explaining why they didn't use the more detailed models.

That's kind of vague. For all we know that might just mean they'll make a line of animal girl pachinko slots.

I mean it is , but it's also the guy who came up with the setting and world in the first place (and also the author of Keroro Gunsou) I don't think he's going to let it go with just pachislots.

it probably means manga, stage shows, and drama cds. this is what i tell myself so that a second season is more of a pleasant surprise than anywhere near an expectation.

I like how the penguin VA's sound like real people.

The animation of the Margay adjusting her glasses is nice.

That was okay. I think the low budget really made this episode seem janky and rushed.

That was a pretty cute episode, and it was nice to get some more characterization for the penguins, plus Margay was pretty funny. I feel like Kaban and Serval didn't get as much to do as they did in other episodes but with that many characters it's probably a bit hard to fit everyone in.

TBH I find the actual show kinda middling, but the amount of fan art it generates justifies its existence.

I'm a fan of the theory that Arai-san may have originally claimed the hat as her own (because she's a god drat trash panda) and is now just really mad that it was lost and ended up with Bag-chan (who may not even have the same hat) and that's why she's chasing Bag-chan across the park.

Anyway, let's meme:






Also some proper Arai/Fennec art:

I'm not a big fan of idols (or forced drama) so I was bored through 90% of the episode.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

This is tough, but I'll admit when I'm wrong and consume the entire humble pie: I was wrong.

This actually just happened, and is my Kemono Friends story:

*upon completion of episode 3*
wife: "So, are you going to continue watching this show?"
me: "I don't think so, it's really stupid, just too stupid..."
*unconsciously queues episodes 4 through 8 on my watchlist"
wife: "uh, then why are you picking up the remaining episodes?"
me: "...I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS POST-APOCALYPTIC SITUATION AHHH YOUKOSOU JAPARI PARK"

I want to watch the Friends have fun but do not want to learn the terrible secret of Japari Park.

Also Lucky is racist.

Well you could read the manga, which apparently takes place before the game so it's just a handler and some friends doing stuff.

Well one interesting thing shown in chapter 2 there is that they also have a city area inside the park. Which would really be humans' habitat, though it probably wasn't built quite for that purpose originally.
