"die properly"
The announcement came late at night so there's been no follow-up to this at all.

Hasn't stopped Kadokawa's stock price from going into a free-fall though, so I expect there to be something before lunch if not breakfast.

Also it's now Tatsuki's birthday.

Kemono Friends became popular because something with so much heart is rarely seen. Kadokawa has now demonstrated why it's so rarely seen.

「けものフレンズ」の映像化プロジェクトに関するご報告

2017.9.27

けものフレンズプロジェクトA

「けものフレンズ」に関しまして、すでに新規映像化プロジェクトの制作を発表させていただいておりますが、発表当初より同体制での継続か、新体制での新たな表現かも合わせて検討中で、現時点においてもまだ何も決定していない状況です。

そのような中、今年1月~3月に放送されたTVアニメーションと同様の体制を優先として、視聴者のご期待に沿えるべく調整をしておりましたが、アニメーション制作会社であるヤオヨロズ株式会社より8月に入った段階で辞退したい旨の話を受け、制作体制を一から模索することになっているのが現状です。

「けものフレンズ」は動物ファーストの理念のもと、関わってくださったすべての方々の手によってゲーム、コミック、アニメ、舞台と展開して参りました。広く門戸を開放し、理念に賛同していただける方々のお力添えをいただき、世界を広げていきたい。そのために誰のものでもないプロジェクトとして、動物のための「けものフレンズ」として活動を重ねて参りました。

しかし、アニメーション制作を担当していただきましたヤオヨロズ株式会社には、関係各所への情報共有や連絡がないままでの作品利用がありました。映像化プロジェクトとしては次回の制作を引き続きお願いしたかったため、情報は事前に共有してほしい旨の正常化を図る申し入れをさせていただきましたが、ヤオヨロズ株式会社からは、その条件は受け入れられないので辞退したい、とのお返事でございました。

「けものフレンズ」の映像化プロジェクトに関しては、上記のような経緯で一部滞っておりますが、「けものフレンズプロジェクト」は今後も御協力をいただく皆様と共に作品を守り、ファンを守り、動物たちのことをもっと知ってもらう活動をこれからも初志貫徹、続けていく所存です。映像化に関しましても、改めて、そしてできるだけ早くご報告できるよう進めて参ります。

今後とも様々な「けものフレンズプロジェクト」をよろしくお願いします。

Report on Kemono Friends’s Animation Project

Kemono Friends Project has officially announced of a new animation project, and there been no decision on whether or not if the original arrangements would be preserved or if something new would be put into place to bring out something fresh.

The original setup based on the original TV animation run of January-March had priority, and we wanted to adjust based on customer expectation, but Yaoyorozu animation studio turned down the offer to take part in this, so the committee is now looking into how to proceed with the production.
Kemono Friends is made with “animal first” in mind, and encompasses the work of many people who are involved with games, manga, anime and stage plays. We’ve opened our doors to anyone who share this philosophy in taking part in expanding this world. Kemono Friends as such is not a project that belongs to any single person, as it is “Kemono Friends” for the animals.

However, Yaoyorozu studio chose to utilize the project’s intellectual property on its own without having informed or shared the news with the committee. The committee has hoped to continue the partnership with the studio and we have asked for normalize full information sharing from the party in advance, but Yaoyorozu would not accept these conditions, and have asked to be withdrawn from the project.

The above is the reason why the animation project of “Kemono Friends” have come to a partial halt. As mentioned above, Kemono Friends Project will continue to work in protecting this work, protecting the fans, the animals as we hold true to the original aim of the project. We will update everyone on the situation of the new animation project at the earliest possible date.

We ask that you continue to support Kemono Friends Project as we move forward.
What a load of bullshit...

Yes, because we all know anime fans have only the most absolute respect for copyright law, especially when violating it produces something cool.

From what I understand, the argument used is that doujin stuff doesn't infringe copyright because is not using any of the official resources whereas 12.1 actually had participation from the show's VAs and thus it broke copyright.

Not that it makes the whole thing any less stupid but yeah.

I'm fairly certain doujins very much do break copyright law. They just don't sue them because it's actively beneficial to have more people talking about the original, and it would also be PR suicide for any companies involved.

You know, exactly the same reasons you wouldn't fire a very talented director for making extra things for a show.
