>Lucky-san has literally no personality
Lucky-san never had that much personality, by design. I agree that he's underused in this season, but at least they explained why (and subtly).
>absolutely no foreshadowing that Kyururu's drawings were causing all the problems in the park
True, but I think they have the potential to go far with it. The problem isn't the concept or the episode itself, it's that they waited until nearly the end to introduce it.
>still rehashing S1 story beats
Eh not really. I was worried that it would be a rehash of the Giraffe/Wolf episode but in practice it was totally different beyond both being centered around a lodge/hotel.
>Arai-san and Fennec are uncharacteristically strong and should have been introduced way earlier in the series instead of the detectives, but then you'd end up with the same problem as above
This can be explained if we assume that all the old friends are now Lvl 99 after the years/decades past since S1. In any case, the fight scenes (with the exception of the finale and maybe episode 1) were never really highlights of the first season to begin with.
>actual plot being introduced way too late into the season for all the new developments to be expanded upon nicely in time for the finale
Agreed 100% there.
>It's 5/10 at best but all the problems present and it being such an important episode introducing ideas that should have been introduced way earlier in the season only tells me the finale's gonna be a shitshow.
Probably, but until this episode I was expecting an episode 9-tier shitshow. Now I think it could become an entertaining and over-the-top shitshow, which would actually be a good thing.

Kyururu was the one who read Japari Park

>but at least they explained why (and subtly).
I'm sorry, but I don't think I understood what part of the episode explained why Lucky-san devolved from starting to become an independent robot with its own interests to what it is now.

There's potential in the idea, but because it was introduced so late, there's not much chance for it to be utilized as well as it could have. The foreshadowing does exist Kyururu accidentally creates that Cerulean army from her drawing, but now we have three looming threats that all need to be settled in the finale. The ship Cerulean, the Beast, and the threat of Kyururu's last drawing creating a swarm of Ceruleans.

I really can't accept that whole leveling expression either. Just because a Friend has survived for a long time doesn't mean they've spent however many years fighting if they aren't predisposed to fighting. Arai-san and Fennec weren't fighters, but helped save Kaban by performing non-combative roles, but now we have to believe they've learned to fight and that they're also stronger than the owls now, who've grown surprisingly weak? Fighting was never the point of the Friends in KF1, but only a handful of Friends were anywhere good at it, let alone strong enough to boast being able to destroy Ceruleans larger than their ankles by themselves.

Then again, all the Ceruleans in KF2 are ridiculously weak so it probably would make sense Arai-san could defeat it, but then what was the point of Kaban and the owls trying to run away from it when they even said all the ones spotted were defeated by the Friend copied shortly after? Why is this suddenly such a credible threat if the danger is so easily defeated?

Really missing the mid-episode info dumps.

RIP.

They could've done that by killing it, no? All it took was a single smack and it died.

Lucky-san always existed to serve humans, right? It seems possible that Kaban instructed him to only help/communicate with Kyururu when there was danger. Seems like Kaban knew the value of tracking Kyururu's location when she gave Lucky-san away.

I agree that Kaban and the owls running away made no sense, but it's a relatively self-contained inconsistency. Maybe they were trying to lead it away from the lab before fighting it considering all the ceruleum and other stuff in there. But I'll admit that it was a bit of an ass-pull probably used to force everything into what has been by far the most content-packed episode.

If they're extinct, they have no highlights in their eyes.

Main character is a boy, and it's selling like shit, color me surprised.
This wasn't the kind of show that this fits at all.

And risk the person who feeds them getting hurt? Nuh uh

So we have two episodes left and we have: the beasts, yamato cerulean and now they introduced cerulean friend clones out of nowhere. Why is the pacing so awful? It makes it worse when you remember how expertly paced S1 was.

>to only help/communicate with Kyururu when there was danger
That seems really counter-intuitive and unnecessary. The whole purpose of Lucky Beasts are to serve as guides and it's already in their instructions to get humans to safety when there's danger.

What

Attached: Caracal.png (271x327, 96K)

I would've said Kaban's smart enough to avoid getting hurt but she's the one who put all three of them and their lab in danger in the first place. I guess the lack of retort to Kaban doing that means it's something she's done often?

Season 3. Uh oh.

How many different studios has this been out sourced to?

She's going fucking senile. If she doesn't scream don't eat me, she can't solve problems.

But Kyururu doesn't know her destination. And Lucky still has his danger-warning programming, as shown in the last episode.

Season 3 is already reserved for the new game. Next season will be Kemono Friends 3.33

Manga said that humans and friends co-existed. Maybe this means that humans died out and friends lived on?

It's too early to say how bad it is.

S1 was better paced because S1 didn't take the risk of trying to add any more intrigue than what the first couple of episodes introduced.

>KABAN HAS A DRAWER OF LUCKYS. IT MEANS HIS SACRIFICE WAS IN VEIN

Mother fucker. Lucky beast are literally dying in this season. Jungle Rambo Lucky died in Kaban's arms. Being turned into a watch seems to SAVE THEM.

I don't there there was any attempt at connecting different KF projects together.

Do we know that Lucky-san can still see as a wristwatch? The lens-ish thing seems to be more of a light.

>It's too early to say how bad it is.
We're on episode 10 and the winter season ends in two/three weeks user. There's no way anything they've introduced this episode will have time to be developed on properly.

This is true given the interview with the director of Yaoyorozu and that dude from Kadokawa.

>We're on episode 10 and the winter season ends in two/three weeks user. There's no way anything they've introduced this episode will have time to be developed on properly.
That's what everyone said about Akanesasu Shoujo episode 11

Pretty sure it's implied he can still see and hear back in the last episode, but he just can't move by himself anymore. Then again, all the interactions with Lucky in the last episode were verbal, so it's possible he's blind too.

Are you sure? Maybe it was in yours!

The manga, game, and anime are extremely disjointed. Both in the game and anime the park was never finished where as in the manga it was.

The manga also makes no mention of the Ceruleans.

The game and anime have different versions of Ceruleans. Not to mention sparkle.

In the anime they abandoned the park where as in the game they took it back from the Ceruleans (supposedly), and in the manga they never had to do so.

I guess if you wanted to say that they were all the same setting, you'd start out with the game then proceed to the manga and finally the anime. But it still is going to be a bit wonky with some concepts from the game and anime in there.

Anyways it'd go like this after the defeat of the Ceruleans and the queen, the park was eventually opened/finished. Eventually the Ceruleans came back, everyone grew to complacent and weak from not having to worry about their old foes, leading to most of the park being destroyed as Ceruleans swarmed it leading to the humans evacuating and bombing the island.

Though this didn't completely wipe out the Ceruleans and the park remained abandoned by the humans permanently.

Then comes season 1 after ten to twenty years later. And season 2 which is twenty to forty years later (according to the math I saw mentioned here).

That's a door user

That's a bit wrong though, given the Guidebooks. The chronological order would be
Manga -> Nexon Game -> Kemono Friends -> Kemono Friends 2

How is that possible?

There's also a cryptid chubby snake. So cryptids can be Friends too?
But not bugs? Or fish?

It's important to note that both extinct and UMA Friends are completely made of Kemonoplasm, just like Ceruleans so you had situations during the Nexon Game where the Four Gods Friends could turn into Ceruleans to test the player and their Friends, Ceruleans turning into Friends, etc.

It's possible for a Friend to make herself look human too, but none have done so yet.

>In one game, the friends have access to all toys and shit

Attached: BALL PIT.png (297x299, 136K)

The answer to that is yes. So long as a fossil, etc gets hit by Sandstar. There's several extinct friends like Mammoth and more.

Before the Sandstar appeared, Japari Park was a facility dedicated to animal preservation and housed numerous fossils.
Ah it would appear I was incorrect, thank you for correcting me.

>Gorilla-san can get two cymbals
>Just fucking runs around like an evil monkey doll.

>So cryptids can be Friends too?
>But not bugs? Or fish?
Yes. There's this concept called 'Sparkle' that is what causes Ceruleans to attack humans and Friends. Sparkle is the motivation for life, the desire to live and the emotions that go along with it. A Cerulean with Sparkle becomes less monstrous looking and takes on attributes of the Friend or person they take the Sparkle from, which is how both the Cerulean Queen and Cerval were born. Cerval was born after consuming some of Serval's Sparkle and was able to blend herself among the Friends because they're all colorblind and couldn't see she was a fucking rainbow of colors. However, because of her friendship with Serval, Cerval became a real Friend.

So this is what's happening on the latest episode

Don't fish, bugs, and other things have a desire to live? Don't fucking spiders want to survive to see the next day?

Attached: Our new friend is blue.png (398x396, 236K)

Also non existent animals, like the tsuchinoko.
>inb4 she's just a fat snake

More fun lore, since it reminds me of the before times when life was good.

The Lucky Beasts were designed by Kako and based off a legend told among the Friends of an ancient beast that flew over the islands, leaving in its wake sand of the stars (not to be confused with Sandstar). So, early models of Lucky Beasts were also capable of hovering and flying, but later iterations were developed without this capability (for reasons).

Probably, which is why they really should've done all this shit sooner since it's fucking explained poorly and I still hate Kyururu regardless. Sparkle only exists as a concept in the Nexon game that was never mentioned again in either the first anime or the manga.

Ask Mine why there aren't fish, bug or coral Friends and he might give you a 'b' in response before quickly deleting his tweet.

Yeah this is usually the part that stumps people, I don't think there was much of an answer though. There was stuff about it in the older threads but I can't remember much about it.

Anyways it's probably because Mine didn't want to have to draw every living thing in the planet.
IIRC the cryptids/UMA were born from the human mind via sandstar. Something about there being strong belief in something causes the sandstar to make it into a friend. Sandstar is a very strange, confusing substance.

Crunchyroll removed them due to copyright reasons. The info dumps are in the Japanese raws.

And another page.

The top is talking about the different sizes of Ceruleans. The red indicates comments made by Serval about each size. The middle section is a picture of a human (Friend?) and an early-model Lucky-san overlooking ruins caused by Sandstar.

The bottom are censored pictures of the volcano. Cerval had, at one point, sacrificed herself and locked herself in stasis to either create or maintain the filter on the volcano, I forget which.

They used to be rainbow colored but I think it was theorized that after the death of the Cerulean Queen, the Ceruleans throughout the park had since devolved or degenerated into becoming simpler "creatures." KF2 takes more from Nexon's designs of Ceruleans than KF1, which is to say they take more tangible object shapes while KF1 Ceruleans were simple blob creatures with sharp tentacles sometimes or simple versions of robots (Big Dog-shaped Black Cerulean and the Lucky Beast-shaped Cerulean in episode 1).

What the colors actually meant though, I forget.

Forgot, I also have this page. It's a sample of a Cerulean escaping its petri dish. Keep in mind, Ceruleans and Friends are both made of Kemonoplasm and are/were born from the same substance, Sandstar, coming into contact with either animals or various kinds of minerals. What it meant for there to be various strains of Sandstar, we'll never know. Where does Ceruleum come from and what is its connection to Sandstar, wakaran.

Huh interesting I thought there was a reason for the different coloration in the Ceruleans, seems I was right about it.

And yeah seems the KF2 Ceruleans are... well evolving is one way to put it. Or rather they're returning to what they previously were.

Just how far apart in the future is this season set?

And lastly, KF1 was originally going to have a more gruesome first episode. The Ceruleans would have had a more menacing color and tone to them and the first big Cerulean would have had a stick jutting out of it, a wound caused by Aardwolf trying desperately to defend herself. You would even see her dying during the fight as she's being digested alive, still partially visible, then while Kaban and Serval are leaving, you would see her hand jutting out of the dead Cerulean.

According to 2ch/2chan autism, 20-40 years after KF1. There's no real way of knowing though, especially since we don't know how quickly Sandstar can terraform a region. I like to not think about KF2, but if I had to approximate a time reference, it's between "a lot of years" and "a really hot minute" from the time of KF1, otherwise I might strangle someone if it turns out to not have been a long time at all.

The fact that they moved the plot with only 2 episodes left leaves the impression that they will make another season. If they revealed earlier that the Ceruleans are evolving it would have been a good plot device for KF2. KF2 may even be likable if they went with that approach and told a completely different story with Kaban fighting the Ceruleans and Kyururu getting caught in the crossfire, the story happening from both their perspective.

But I guess that's too much to ask for Kadokawa, they want to play it safe in the long run with another season.

I'm sure they will make another season but if next game and anime don't sell it may be the end.

Also, how the hell was the old amusement park submerged in water? And for some hilarious reason a hotel was placed nearby. The airplane ride near the hotel is also a weird addition, it's like an amusement park was built on top of another. But civilization already vanished by the time of S1 so how the fuck did the Friends built that ride. Everything feels like a retcon of the first season and they're doing a shitty job at it.

It's somewhat reasonable that a hotel built offshore is waterproof, but a hotel sunken decades ago and still not flooded with such giant ass windows ist ridiculous.

Besides the sunken amusement park, it honestly seems like it was built underwater and the friends are full of shit.

Friends couldn't have built it, they lack such knowledge.

They only seem to be able to upkeep certain things that the humans left behind, everything else just sits there and rots because they don't know how to maintain it.

Except the episodes before Black Dog were all about finding the humans and after Black Dog was defeated Kaban went to the new region to continue her search, but most likely she'll just meet new Friends.

Kyururu however just fucked around for 10 episodes before the 2 creepy birds talked some sense into her and we suddenly get this plot development ala FranXX (God help us) outta nowhere

Looks more like she’s rubbing her nipple with her index finger

Gen 2 best gen.
>That Serval dance from the Nexon's Game.

Kaban didn't even know who she was or what her goal is until she met the owls. Kyururu was well aware about her existence from the first moment and still failed.

Why would anyone think it would be a good idea to build a hotel underwater though? But yeah it was obviously built that way. The Friends might have thought it was apart of the amusement park so assumed that it also sunk. The Friends aren't that bright after all.

Some of the buildings are also well-maintained, like they were abandoned just a few days ago. Yeah, the friends took care of them, but its weird.

Kyururu was looking for the place in his drawing, or am I making up that?

Wasn't it that it was a normal hotel but then it got submerged

oh fuck, these numbers don't lie

>implying friends know how to use a computer

Modern buildings are relatively easy to maintain. What really fucks over old building when they are abandoned is water when it gets in.

My guess is that she stored the frisbee and left the house to look for the humans ( In this case, look for Kaban )

No matter what, I will still believe that Kaban is friend version of Kako rather than Mirai.

So does she get a domestic release instead of wild release?
I mean if you think about it a dogs potential is from gaining advantages from humans to take down things they can't fight normally.

Kaban has a goal from the beginning: to find out what kind of animal she is. Every episode, she makes definite progress and it gets resolved half way through the series. Only then does she decide to find out what happened to humans.
Meanwhile, this season Kyururu fucked around for 10 episodes and we are finally starting to get some resolution.

Maybe the true treasure were the enemies we made along the way.

All she wanted was someone to play with.

Kemono Friends 2 is the antithesis of Kemono Friends.

One word
>Mine

You mean if she is a Friend? Yeah it would help us determine if she is. IIRC Kaban's eyes dulled when informed that humanity might be extinct back in KF1.

i meant a hint of the current state of humanity, in line with the design of the extinct's eyes

In that case all you have to do is look at Kaban's eyes, as she is a human friend.

I say this because no one is really sure if Kyururu is a human Friend, a human, or something else.

People can agree one thing, she sucks

Is it even possible to redeem Kyururu as a character by the end of the season? Let alone the show itself in the eyes of fans?

If infodump makes anime great then Wikipedia must be an ultimate anime of history.

They're probably betting on fart's twist being enough to save her character, but anyone could tell you that's absolute bs

If they would have had a short scene in every episode showing last episode's friends encountering a cerulean clone then this twist wouldn't have come out of nowhere

Then again, when I see how the retards from here shit on Kemurikusa when it's good and has all the Tatsuki it can have, I ain't expecting much from this place.

If there was ever any reason to use the word soulless, this is it.
S2 is like an AI trying to replicate emotions, all as a vehicle to brutally squeeze merch/game sales out of the franchise's last remaining dignity.

You are so overly dramatic, it's embarassing, friend.

Sometimes people don't call things shit because they're drama queens. Sometimes things are just shit.

It's funny they keep saying this is a new story despite the fact (for some strange reason) you watch this without watching S2 you would have no idea who Kaban/Fennec/Arai/the Owls are and why they are important.

Have you seriously read your last post?

Good for you, you want a medal or something?

Only if I can ask everyone who keeps nitpicking about s2 the same.

That wasn't my post. But S2 is in fact shit, and it is in fact factually both cynical and anti-healing (as Kemono Friends official representatives has written essays about how it deliberately chooses to dismantle the "kind" premise of S1) and "has soul" is an adjective that gets thrown around all the time without drama of any sort.

Congratulations on eating garbage and enjoying it. Be sure to buy the BDs!

The little things were the things that made S1 special, it can be clearly seen that S2 is lacking those things.

Its pretty pathetic. Preregistrations opened up about 2 months ago and it just barely hit 40k recently.

That doesn't make it wrong, user.
Sometimes it's okay to be a bit dramatic to make a point.
The guy you just replied to isn't me.

>as Kemono Friends official representatives has written essays about how it deliberately chooses to dismantle the "kind" premise of S1
Sauce? Why would anybody remove one of the main reasons why the original was so loved? The people behind this are either complete idiots or the hate the original and its fans.

I want otter to stare at me with utter disappointment in her eyes, as I break my promise and watch S2 in front of her!

Anybody who was around for the good old days will know that the show was extremely loved (I went into depression for a month after it ended). It's understandable people would get emotional about something they loved being destroyed before their eyes.

Mirai has long hair while Kaban doesn't, thus debunking that.

I made a mistake. There was an essay by an animator circulating about why KF1 was an aberration (yasashii sekai etc) but when I tracked it down the original source it turns out that he doesn't work on on KF2 a professional capacity and only contributes to secondary work on it as a fan.

So my bad on that one.

Except you're wrong.
I watched it back then, I'm watching it now.

A sequel being a bit different isn't a bad thing. I'd have enjoyed Tatsuki's KF2, but I'm enjoying Kimura's one as well.

You guys are obsessed on what it could have been and dismiss right away anything straying out from the way.

Did you guys even play the original or even read the mango? No KF sequel is the same as the original.

I read the manga, it was boring and the game shut down before the anime aired. I enjoyed KF1 because it had things that I liked in it, KF2 has none of those things.

A sequel being different being good is a matter of personal opinion I agree, but you cannot overlook the inadequate writing, poor pacing, many character inconsistencies, and worse animation quality that makes KF2 a bad sequel. It is inexcusable to deny people's bad reception to the anime as merely being people disliking change with these glaring flaws in mind. Even then, change is not inherently a good thing either. In the case of KF2, it had shown itself to be a major change in a bad direction, given the extremely negative reception to the show among Japanese fans. You could argue that this is simply because of 9/25, but nearly every episode has since shown a negative trend in viewer approval of the show, and viewership has a tendency to decline as the episodes go on. There is no reason to lie down and accept change when there was nothing that needed to be changed, yet you are implying that albeit different, the changes made by Kimura and KFP are good changes.

>given the extremely negative reception to the show among Japanese fans.
People are memeing up how bad the show is, way more than it actually is.

There's an obvious bias from day one because ablooblobloo evil kadokawa and kimura.

I can only believe in Tatsuki to provide enough healing to cancel out the anto-healing kF2 has incurred upon my soul.

No studio in Japan wanted to take the project, either from foresight of negative backlash or they were busy. The only retard bold enough to accept this shitshow had little to no 3D animation experience and they outsourced most of it to other studios with little to no 3D animation experience.

Nobody gave a shit about Kimura until he started shitting on S1 and blocking people on twitter.

If the fans of a series hate a show for being the complete opposite of what they want, it only makes sense that their opinion of it would amplify and negatively affect 3rd party viewers who would take their opinion into account since those fans would know and care more about the series than they would. Fan backlash is a powerful poison no creator should ever want to incur upon their own franchise, especially when it is the fans who buy the merchandise, spread the word about the show, etc.

Are you seriously going to downplay the fact that most of the fandom and the #notatsukinotanoshi drones who buzzed around because of the Kadokawa shitstorm weren't ever going to give the show even a chance of being positive from the beginning?

Citation required. Also he did Aikatsu, which I'm not familiar with, but sounded pretty popular for some reason, no not giving a shit about him? Eh, not sure.

>weren't ever going to give the show even a chance of being positive from the beginning?
full 40% of people (that's not many, grant you) were planning to give the show a chance based on preview voting even after the shit quality of the animation had been revealed on the grounds that the story might be good. 20% announced they'd hated it already.

of those 40%, 5% remain. that's nearly 90% of people who went into the show with the full intention of respecting it if it were any good, who have now abandoned it because it was not.

The backlash didn't really start until episode 6. I mean not giving the fans the direct sequel they wanted was one thing but then saying that some horrible thing off screen separated the beloved main characters of S1. How did they think people were going to react.

That S1 was loved because of Tatsuki, nah.

But that S2 was hated from day one because of the consequences of the Kadokawa shitstorm and shot before a fair trial? Well, we're on this thread, ain't we?

There were plenty of people willing to give S2 a chance, as we can see in the viewership and ratings. The show actively went against everything that people liked about S1 and therefor people began to hate it. This weeks episode rated a little better, because it was better than average. Fans were willing to give this season a chance but its awful in every single aspect.

Some people were willing to give it chance, I didn't like the first two episodes but I thought 3 and 4 were a step in the right direction. Then episode 6 happened and the nico ratings sank like a stone.

This post.

It really shows that fans just want to be fed the same stuff they're expecting. Anything out of their expectations is awful and horrible and icky ew.

Can't you take that characters can change and evolve with time?

You might notice it, but there IS a massive number of viewership unaccounted for between those of the last episodes of KF and all throughout KF2. There are a large number of people who refused to give KF2 a chance, and the few that did found the show average at best until the show did more and more to make those viewers upset or angry. It had everything going against it, sure, but there was a an opportunity to make right with the fanbase that Tomason unfortunately missed by a country mile.

>Can't you take that characters can change and evolve with time?
Serval got her memory completely wiped how the hell is that changing and evolving.

A hamburger can evolve into a pile of shit (it tends to do that after it's eaten) but that doesn't mean people will still like it.

Of course fans want the same old same old. It's about providing the same quality and meeting those established expectations while making adjustments, not radical changes. There was no time given to the fans to change with the characters and the characters were forced to change with little to no explanation or reason given to justify or make time to allow the viewer to ease into these new changes. Too much change in a short time going against the expectations of the fanbase and even retrospectively ruining the things that came before it are not good things by any measure of the word 'good'.

Also I hardly think Tatsuki's S2 would be a carbon copy of S1. For example I'm 99.99% certain Fennec and Arai would accompany Kaban and Serval on their adventure which would change the dynamics quite a bit. Also we would probably get some for answers of the whereabouts of Mirai and the rest of the humans.

Who talked about Serval.

Serval fucking died and Kaban had no choice but to leave her behind. She moved on, years passed, she grew and she had a purpose which she could still fullfill.

When Kaban saw Serval, she was surprised as she clearly wasn't expecting to meet her.

The fact that the episode didn't evolve into a deus ex machina with Serval remembering everything out of nowhere seems to be the main annoyance to everyone out there with the fact Kaban didn't get pushy about trying to get her back.

The fact that Kaban still got her memories after being ceruleaned in s1 is actually the asspull, but no one minds that one while they crucify the fact that Serval's memories are gone like they're supposed to be.

Anyway, don't worry, everyone had an autistic fit when OMG KADOKAWA RETCONNED KABAN in episode 1 and she still appeared.

Mark my words, Serval is going to experience a deus ex machina memory restoration and go back with Kaban at the end of the show.

Nobody.

Now this is delusion

How so?

What very basic things did season 2 get wrong, now that it's almost over. Starting with an obvious one

>Get Serval the fuck out of the main cast for pure fanservice sake, allow the story to just be about a new girl and a new cat. Forcing serval to be there just because "she's popular" ruins things from so many angles. It shits all over season 1 as well. Serval can show up, but fuck you for making her amnesiac and part of the main cast just because of money. Its so fucking blatant and ruins shit.

>redditspacing

>>autism

It's because Serval fucking died for real that's a huge slap to the face of everyone who enjoyed their character dynamic. It's even more of a slap to the face to the fans of Serval who loved her character personality only to have her unceremoniously killed off-screen with little explanation and to be replaced by a Serval with barely even a tenth of the personality the original Serval had. Kaban's character growing from losing Serval, especially when the two were the main protagonists of the first show, should be something that shouldn't be skipped over yet it's because Tomason doesn't know what to do with them that they glossed over and skipped over these extremely important character developments. This may be Kyururu's story, but that doesn't mean it is okay to skip over such important character details.

I agree with this one. I actually want a manga or something that would show the unavoidable danger actually doing something irreversible to Serval and Kaban, Kaban's reaction, her sadness, her strength to overcome it, the way Arai/Fennec/the owls reacted, etc.

It would be actually pretty cool, but obviously hard to shallow for most of the fans, specially after s2.

Do I need to know anything about the original kaijuu in order to enjoy this thing?

Actually, over everything, I'm sad that the fandom is actually at throats with each other.
How come a fandom about cute girls and fun stuff with a dash of darker backstory because this sour.
Don't tell me S2, it started well before that. And nowadays, it's about who can be the most angry and cynical cunt in the end.

I also agree that s2 shouldn't have had Serval.

Caracal might be a bitch, but at least just with Kyururu, she might act different.

>may.2chan.net/b/src/1553041825038.webm
i love nips

I'd argue that it would've been more appropriate to hold off on the story KF2 tried to tell until they've done at least something with Kaban, Serval and Lucky outside of Kyoshu. Even if KF2 takes placr long after KF1, we're given nothing to go off the idea they've done a whole bunch of stuff and learned so much on their adventures. The way it is right now, Kaban comes off as a failure who couldn't find humanity, protect her best friend, and now can barely even protect the park. It's disgusting, if you ask me.

A new journey is just tainted when you have an old protag following you the entire way. They've already been developed, they have no reason for being there, they solve all the problems for new protags too easily so no one has to think for themselves, they in fact take away from other characters development, and they get anti-development that angers older fans of the previous series. There's almost no way it would work out, its a rookie mistake.

This so much. S1 wasn't anything special on paper. 'Comfy anime with a bunch of cute girls and some more serious plot' is something that's been done many times. S1 was exceptional because it was made with extreme care and passion.

>Kaban comes off as a failure who couldn't find humanity, protect her best friend, and now can barely even protect the park.
Why should Kaban be a mary sue though, is she supposed to find something that doesn't exist anymore? She's supposed to be a superman and always be failure proof?

Now that's pretty bad.

>Kyururu shows up and immediately dies
>Lucky-san forms back together between Kaban and Serval
10/10.

Seed Destiny was pretty bad about this, but at least KF2 ain't making Kaban overtake Kyururu's spot in the story.

Kaban as a Friend is shown to be intelligent, quick-thinking, and far braver than she was at the start. All the Friends cared about and looked up to Kaban at the end of the show, and there is absolutely nothing in her character implying she would be incompetent as a park guide and guardian of the Friends, yet in KF2 she makes mistakes her younger self wouldn't have made. It's because of how optimistic in the belief humanity is still alive that Kaban was so determined to explore outside the park. It's that very optimism, hope in the face of near-undeniable evidence to the contrary, that hope Kaban and Serval shared that people loved the two of them so much. To take that optimism and hope for humanity away from Kaban is to take part of Kaban's very being from herself, which KF2 has done and shown.

Honestly, nothing pointed to the fact humanity is still alive. It's even the base of the post-apocalypse setting that appeals so many KF fans.

Kaban and Serval both believed humanity was alive based solely on the recordings of Mirai and the hope that they could meet her. The post-apocalyptic setting is part of the appeal too, with the Friends taking precedence even in KF1. The innocent view of the world despite it obviously being the contrary provides that gap moe, interesting appeal that drew so many people to KF.

9/25.

S2 grew into the hate. Everyone was HOPING it would be good, but it can't even stand on its own, let alone versus S1.

9/25 and after Kawadoko finally went silent on Kemono Friends instead of fueling the raging fire. People became bitter after that and started to lash out.

This started with Kemurikusa where a divide between the fans took place. Both Kermurikusa and Kemono Friends are at odds with each other, likely because the kemurikusa fans feel like that they should stop supporting Kemono Friends because of Tatsuki's firing.

Then you have subgroup within them that tries to say that Tatsuki was a hack.

And now you have a third party, people that are trying to enjoy the second season. So they get angry that the old fans are constantly putting down the second season and fight with them.

Being Friends is no longer allowed.

I enjoyed S1 back then. I'm enjoying S2.

This ain't a fucking hivemind.

You're an irregular then as the majority of old fans either hate it or no longer care about it.

I lost hope of S2 being good after reading the staff interviews and seeing the promotional art with the fat Serval. But I hoped it was going to be mediocre, sadly it's worse than that. At least the most recent episode tried to fix a few things and gave me hope for a decent finale. But with half the season's episodes being crap, a decent finale won't be enough to redeem it.

You're taking the shitposting too seriously. Most of those 'groups' are just a few trolls.
I like Kemurikusa and also tried to give KF2 a chance. I doubt I'm the only one.

they sure set themselves up for a damned if you do damned if you don't

Her eyes didn't dull completely and the Owls correct themselves stating it was possible that they simply made a mistake and the humans left.

It isn't illogically for the Friends to have assumed that the humans died out, as they don't really know about anything outside of Japari Park.

Plus if you look at her eyes in the second season, still shiny. So humans are still alive in some form. Though it could just be Kyururu is the last one left... hopefully not.

doesn't sound delusional at all to me, it was clear that there was more friends than just serval on the second boat and making it the full Doubutsu Biscuits group would make a lot of sense.

Yeah i had missed how S1 keep a narrative IE repair bus charge battery travel to library ect S2 lacked that greater narrative until Kaban showed up.

There's something that bugs me out.

If KF2 is so unpopular, how come the fanworks is still so popular on pixiv and twitter. Not just the amount, but the numbers of fave/RTs. And not just the fixfic ones, but the ones using S2 as a base too.

Sure, it's less than back when the first season was done, but it should be WAY less if it was this unpopular.

People care about the franchise. You have to love something in order to hate otherwise you just be apathetic.

Good to know. Just in case I'll have this ready after I'm done with the episode.

It's like praising your stupid coworker for being able to tie his own shoes. He was hired to do way more than that, but he's so retarded that being able to do the bare minimum would be at least recognizable.

Sunk cost. People have invested too much time and effort that it's harder to detach from it. Luckily after this season ends I'm ready to say goodbye to the franchise.

They might, but they probably don't. The higher the mortality rate and birth rate of a species is the less of a desire to live they probably have.

Lots of insects let their children or Mate eat them. some species of bugs don't even have mouths in their final stage of life and exist purely to fuck and a die. There are insect colonies that just start killing each after the queen dies, instead of trying to survive on their own.

That's me. Mostly because I am annoyed that people complain about the lack of depth when it's there and they just refuse to see it, not understanding that one of the things that made S1 fun was the over analysing.
