The new stage play has the same actresses, but they also announced auditions for a new unit. Maybe the new series will feature mainly new characters.

They still have weekly livestreams starring the original cast, so I wouldn't think we've seen the last of them yet.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.

People participating have to record themselves performing the script supplied on the audition site. They did take it down by now, though.

I mean, I get there's record of the people auditioning for a position but the claim of plagiarism implies someone had access to the actual script for the series and that seems much harder to come across. Did someone in the staff go rogue and leaked everything or something?

The audition script is the stolen script. It was available for download to anyone.
The audition also only started today, first requiring video applications.

That's the original author whose script they stole

The script is pictured in the Twitter thread.
It's not related to Kemono Friends in content.

Ok like, I ran this poo poo through google translate since I didn't have time to parse through everything, but this just seems like basic VA exercises looking at that page that's linked in the tweet?

Are they claiming that the initial auditions pulled from basic VA stuff and that's somehow evidence that everything is hosed? It more seemed like the kind of thing where you'd get some canned programming problems in an interview for a development position. I don't know how this poo poo works though so I'd welcome some further insight besides a single twitter poster.

It's plain old plagiarism. They didn't ask the author for permission.

I'm still sort of conflicted about this stuff because even apart from Tatsuki's awesome work I still really dig the characters and style and voice work of KF in general. It's hard for me to go "YEAH gently caress THIS FRANCHISE!". :smith:

That is kinda why it sucks that they made them apologize in behalf of the company, it screams of an attempt to tug at the heart-strings of the community.

Yeah making the VAs apologize was a real scummy move.

With the new season I wonder how many of them would actually get rehired

Speaking of VAs, it's come out that for the new unit they were making, they had applicants write their bust/waist/hip sizes on the application form. And they were specifically looking for under-aged girls who were not attached to an agency. So yeah, it keeps getting worse and worse.

Edit: Oh, and asking for that information violates Japanese employment laws.

It seems to be the latter, which is mind-bogglingly lovely. I found a reddit post with some translations of various things, with the caveat that i can't confirm the accuracy
