Size comparison of the Friends. I assume most are from the game? Some of them are uh... rather large at the end. :stare:

I should have known they would have found a way to get Keroro and his gang as friends in there somehow.

Maybe Tatsuki was eaten by a Cerulean and he'll be saved and come back the same and it'll all be okay right? Right?

Riiight?

It’s been two days since this happened and I’m still absolutely livid about this and this has never happened to me before with any other anime-related thing and it’s not fun at all.

It happened so suddenly, out of nowhere and completely unjustified.
What's worse is Kadokawa then:

-Victimized itself while vilifying the animation studio with a statement that turned out to be a complete lie.
-Tried to remove the news from Nico douga from the front line, got found out, then silently put it back
-Editing the title of the new article, got found out, then silently fixed
-Dwango then admit to manipulating the news but blamed it on moderators
-Announces a new Kemono Friends radio show despite the controvercy
-Make the VAs de-escalate the situation that they had no say in

It's amazing how loving bad the company is at PR.

Apparantly they also got Twitter to censor/blacklist the hashtags fans have been using the past couple days?

lol, people don't know how twitter works.

I constantly switch between twitter being a force for good, a force for stupidity, or both at the same time.

Nothing was specified so it's hard to tell.

Even if they are trying to salvage things, at least someone important realizes they screwed up. It still doesn't explain the unnecessary apologies from the voice actresses but...

I’m guessing stuff like the voice actress thing is “business as usual” when it comes to damage control and PR but Kadokawa either didn’t realize or mostly ignored the unique circumstances of this particular controversy. And it seems based on these recent developments they’ve wisened up.

Let’s hope this leads to good things, though that’s not guaranteed at all.

Maybe news of Grape-kun's passing will help Kadokawa and Yaoyorozu heal the rift that's formed between them and save Japari Park from ruin.

Hey we can dream.

I am offended by the implication that poor Hululu had anything to do with Grape-kun’s tragic passing.

Tatsuki has a new show coming out in a couple months, just go watch that instead.

I have a sneaking suspicion it'll be way better than whatever mess this turns out to be.

Is he actually doing another full series? I know he's had a couple things in the works.

Yep, airing in January

Based on a short they did in 2012, so not far away at all.

Wait, is he talking about scripts for the second season or scripts for the first season.

Cause if it's the latter then oh boy.

I'm not sure what's sadder, Kadokawa doing this or Tatsuki being unwilling to this point to raise a stink about it presumably because "Japanese work culture" compelled him not to.

Good for him though if he's now being compelled to take action to protect his own rights. I can't imagine it would be easy to do that against such a large corporation.

There's a lot more down the rabbit hole, but the most recent bomb was dropped by the KF2 producers claiming that KF2 takes place 2000 years after KF1.

When you portray a post-apocalypse less convincing than the one in Battlefield Earth then you know you've got problems.
