Apparently the producer was doing some commentary on the marathon? He mentioned the 4 Gods are in this scene: Which I guess is referring to the Sandstar glows? (3 to the left of Kaban, one to the right of Serval) Not sure if it will have any bearing on anything but that's kind of interesting, I wondered what was up with those.

Yeah so apparently it was Yoshizaki on the stream? He mentioned a couple of other things. Thanks to some 4chan anon for translating his comments: -The sofa shown when they took a break is from a Japari Bus -The scream in episode 1 IS a Friend getting eaten by a Cerulean.  At least we know they don't outright die...-Current Japari Bus is the newest model that is controllable by boss -Sandstar prevents deterioration. Since a lot of things have deteriorated significantly I wonder if this means more time has passed than we think. -Clothes can come off if the Friends consciously wish to do so, otherwise it remains more of an animal-like function? Kinda odd but might explain why they didn't think about it until Kaban pointed it out. Also there's a pastebin going around that has some interesting spoilers from the guidebook at the bottom. Nothing SUPER crazy, mostly just confirming what a lot of people were theorizing. edit: Also apparently the 4 Gods were just the mountain in the background in that pic I posted earlier

Yeah I was going to wait until the last episode aired to discuss the guidebook stuff further, just to see how much of it factors in to the ending.

MrLonghair posted:Show of the year and my god did questions get answered. My theory was pretty much on in the end, but her hands? Then that hyena..? This is like lovely lighthearted but with a pinch of dark. No, wait a minute, she had gloves on originally. Whatever higher process recreated her tried to get those done, we see them grow bit by bit. I think that hyena is the friend who got eaten by the big cerulean on the bridge in ep1? Maybe she'll get hit by Sandstar and become a friend again? And yeah, the black on the hands is her gloves getting recreated, I'm pretty sure. At any rate, a wonderful ending to a great show.  I really hope we get a season 2/OAV/something at some point, I want to meet new Friends!

Just when we thought TATSUKI couldn't get any more based, he casually makes another ~3 minutes of Kemono Friends. https://twitter.com/irodori7/status/849299293789933568 TATSUKI posted:"I slept a little bit, so I kinda went and made an anime.

There Bias Two posted:So is this unofficial? Also, does anyone have it subbed yet? It's unofficial in that it's only on Youtube and not actually airing or on Crunchyroll or anything, but it's TATSUKI (the director) who posted it and apparently he and some of the animators just worked on this in their spare time? And the VA's found some time to do the voices? At any rate it's pretty awesome for them to do this for the fans. Anyway, since it's just on Youtube I THINK it's OK to post a torrent of the subbed version? Here it is, someone yell at me if it's not allowed. edit: Haha even Yoshizaki is impressed: https://twitter.com/yosRRX/status/849338523312377856 Yoshizaki Mine posted:When our last meeting came to an end, I thought to myself that the director's eyes seemed to sparkle when I said that you can freely create things even after we're done...

I'm surprised we haven't seen more art of cat Friends with laser pointers, honestly. I've seen a number of "cat is freaked out by cucumber" ones though. In Japans-memes-are-next-level news, the latest hashtag trend is the "#Learn With 'Stop, Fennec!' __________ Accident Series" . Apparently this spawned out of some fanart where Fennec is getting rather uh... amorous with Arai-san and she's all like "Stop, Fennec!", and has been turned instead into Arai-san giving helpful advice on preventing different kinds of accidents and disasters. As an example: https://twitter.com/sodbren/status/850499369967075328 "Stop, Fennec! Using gloves like that while drilling is dangerous-no da! The glove could get caught-no da! #LearnWithStopFennecWorkRelatedInjurySeries" This has spawned a ridiculous number of "series" hashtags dealing with topics from airline disasters to construction and automobile safety.

Trihugger posted:I'm a Friend who's a little late to the party. This was a nice anime. Also I can't get the OP out of my head. The creator of the song also made and performed the OP for Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, another insanely catchy OP. And it seems to go well no matter what it's played on. Man, I totally didn't realize that, and I loved the Nozaki-kun OP (and it's B-side). No wonder it's so catchy!

The original pic was done by Tatsuki as a promo for Doubutsu Biscuits x PPP's appearance at Animelo Summer Live (Anisama) in August. Apparently Shoebill and Otter's VA will be joining them as well. Also their performance on Music Station was earlier today and was very cute and pretty well done. edit: found a better recording cathead fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Apr 14, 2017 |

The collaboration event between Tobu Zoo and Kemono Friends started today. All 3600 of the badges they were selling (that had the Friends alongside their respective animals) are already sold out. Apparently a humboldt penguin fell in love with Hululu and was sitting there staring at her for hours. I guess he's discovered 2D love.  Some other pics:     P...please don't eat me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo727UwJgJM

Details about the game and stage show are up! Bushiroad will be handling the new game, out in summer 2017? It's a mobage again, as expected. https://twitter.com/kemo_anime/status/856313152509665280 The stage show will be an original story. Looks like the core cast + Okapi are involved. https://twitter.com/kemo_anime/status/856312820111097860 cathead fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Apr 24, 2017 |

https://twitter.com/tobuzoo7/status/857076876463947776 So that one penguin is still hanging around Hululu for most of the day. Apparently one day he missed feeding time because of it and his caretaker had to feed him separately? Anyway, his name is Grape-kun and he's 20 years old, which basically makes him a grandpa in penguin years.

nielsm posted:The old penguin may have poor eyesight and mostly just recognizing the general shape of something penguin-colored standing. Although that doesn't explain why he remains attracted, if he would have difficulty telling Hululu apart from anything else. I dunno, one of the things about Yoshizaki's designs for KF is he often tried to emulate color patterns and body shapes for the animals when he could. I wouldn't be surprised if Hululu's colors are distinct enough that it fools an old penguin who probably can't see that well (and doesn't understand the concept of a picture cutout to begin with). Also someone mentioned Grape-kun doing courtship dancing, I posted this in the GBS thread (lol there was a GBS thread) and apparently forgot to post it here:

Honestly aside from the janky chase scene, ep 1 was pretty good in retrospect. I think it's less so if you're just coming into the show with no idea what to expect though.
