Ep8. "PePaPu Live" Serval and friend obtained live tickets to see the Penguin idol unit "PPP" (PePaPu) During the press conference, the idol otaku Margay shows up next to PPP... eh!?
It seems like the setting might suddenly become closer to the game after their visit to the library, with the girls more familiar with human culture?
Nolan Richardson
Which Friend has the biggest dick?
Carter James
I hope the penguin episode doesn't affect the atmosphere too much, it was nice seeing the natural progression of toki learning how to sing and friends just barely learning how to use technology, it'd be weird if suddenly there was a group of penguins giving a full live concert with perfect singing voices. even though i would this pengin
Oliver Anderson
Is this considered spoilers?
Ryder Allen
We don't know if all the animals turn friend at once. Didn't Serval mention about the Friendstar eruption a day prior? We know that Serval certainly has been humanoid for some time.
Ayden Thompson
It's posted on official website. How is that preview spoiler?
Charles Jackson
No it isn't. Only on the website of a single TV station.
Sebastian Miller
>decide to visit the Kemono Friends tag on pixiv for the first time in a while, to see how much it's changed >Shoebill porn >Shoebill porn >Shoebill porn
Grayson Cruz
Oh well. Actually happy to know that the penguins will have an episode.
Ryan Adams
Didn't really mean how much sense it would make in the world itself, but how cheap it would feel watching it. Like they wanted to jump on the idol bandwagon and just threw them into the show itself and not just the corner they've been in so far, hoping it'd work. I don't know, I really can't help but be weary about this next one.
Ryan Hall
So is this show good? I keep seeing it everywhere and it just looks like a generic "cute girls doing cute things" anime.
Is it NOT just a cheap otaku-pandering pile, cashgrabbing off the monster girl craze?
Ayden Lee
Just turn the adult tag off.
Nathaniel Hernandez
If you enjoyed Tesabu/gdgd you'll like it.
Gavin Cruz
We will have to see exactly what's going on there. It can be anything from the penguins putting on a fullblown live concert to penguins just messing around after having gotten the idea from Owl. If Alpaca can figure out how to brew tea from Owl, then the penguins could also come to the idea of performing as an outfit.
Sebastian Johnson
The penguin idol group existed long before the anime if anything its a case of including somethign that was already part of the franchise rather than ignoring it not jumping on the bandwagon.
Noah James
its a nature documentary that doesnt come off as pandering or sexual just fun
Bentley Lee
It's very good. It's different, in an very subtle way, from a typical "cute girls doing cute things" series. It takes a trained eye to really notice. Go watch the first three episodes and come back. Seriously, just go do it. No written answer is really going to explain it to you.
Elijah Anderson
Is it a bad thing that I've had it on for so long that I've forgotten that was an option?
Chase Hernandez
Its zero style, all substance.
Fun times with friends exploring adventure and helping each other solve problems.
Anthony Rogers
They weren't PPP though. They were called PIP at the time and the leader was emperor penguin. Royal penguin's essentially a new friend who's not part of the game at the time.
Jayden Rodriguez
>all those TA~NOSHI~ >not a single piece of crossover art Tanoshii really is dead.
Austin Turner
Kemonomimi != Monster girl
Kemonomi != Kemono as well but just let that one slide
Caleb Hall
...
Brody Baker
Guess I'm not the only one that does that huh.
>Are you over 18 >N-No
Jonathan Collins
It has cute girls doing cute things, but it's more like good children entertainment/educational show than otaku pandering shit.
Matthew Watson
Whats the verdict? Is Kemono Friends going to be ruined by unnecessary idolshit?
Hunter Brown
If you're the kind of person who regularly says things like "generic cute girls doing cute things anime", then this anime may not be for you.
Julian Morgan
Be honest. Would this show have been a big a meme in Japan if it was 2D animated?
Hudson Davis
Yeah but I am just saying characterising it as "jumping on a bandwagon" when it has been part of the franchise for a long time is completely wrong.
Aaron Mitchell
Okay, time for me to try it. Be back in a few hours.
Define "regularly".
John Nelson
>unnecessary
Jack Howard
If it is I'll blame it on the big corporations and still love the anime for what it's creators are trying to do.
Angel Stewart
The show doesn't feel like a children's anime. No toy gimmick advert, no cool visuals and the protag's too normal and mild to grab children's attention.
Ian Harris
ВКУСНИЙ МИЮЯЙ
Benjamin Morris
Im not so sure; the 100 yen animation gives it a kind of homespun 'handmade' feel too it that might be lost with slicker visuals.
Jaxson Cox
That sounds like a fucking terrible nature documentary.
Where's the hippos humping each other?
Henry Evans
>No toy gimmick advert, no cool visuals and the protag's too normal and mild to grab children's attention. That's why I said good. It's something I'd actually want my children to watch if I had any.
Jordan Mitchell
I guess we might also get a bunch of minor Friends cameo as the public for the concert?
Maybe they'll really cover all 160 Friends from the Shounen Ace poster this season.
Jordan Ward
Only if you were someone who was here for some intellectual masterfully crafted post apocalyptic mystery who was deluding yourself into thinking this show was an artistic masterpiece rather than just pure たのーし!
Matthew Bennett
I'm tempted to say yes. Like some other user said, it's merits are on its substance not its style. Then again, I find it hard to imagine it being as charming with cheap 2D animation.
Jason Thompson
That seems like alot of new Friends to "animate" on 500 yen per episode.
Nathaniel Brown
Basically a PBS kid's show.
Jacob Ward
Am already quite disappoint, and the episode ain't even out. I really don't see how anyone in the top brass could think this would be a good idea. Bring Ishidate back!
Jonathan Reed
probably not. part of the charm is how shit the cgi is. all the clipping makes it not weird fetish pandering.
Michael Smith
That's the thing which I find really annoying. Even if Hasbro did do better by accepting Lauren Faust's initial proposal, the resulting show still had personalities that scream tropes and the lead characters are themselves merchandises.
Granted, we can't compare that show with this one. The production value poured in by Hasbro is outright lavish, while this show's made on next to nothing.
Joshua Murphy
Is 500 yen not a lot of money?
Julian Rivera
Waaa~i, its a friend who's really good at baiting! Sugoi!
Isaac Nelson
quite literally a happy meal a friend budget wise. It's sad that this might actually be how little budget Kemono Friends got to work with.
Juan King
Damn, that's pretty bad. Maybe they can share the fries?
Gavin Martinez
...
Hudson Perez
I wanna fuck serval-chan, but because I have an allergy to cats, my dick will become swollen and I will have to cut off it
Austin Perez
Which friend is this
Juan Kelly
Cat allergies come from a protein in their saliva so as long as you are careful you should be fine.
Evan Myers
Why are we Twin Peaks now?
Jayden Collins
Why does the platypus play tennis?
Jackson Turner
It's $5 dollars.
Oliver Rogers
Because she has the hat that makes her bill
Luis Cooper
I think it'd be fine. Mine Yoshizaki's art has a certain kid's show feeling which would fit with the anime.
Christian Flores
You should probably stop taking a show about cute animal girls doing tanoshii things so seriously. What were you expecting to happen next? A big showdown with Ceruleans or something?
>Why does the platypus play tennis? Is that the beginning of a joke?
Jonathan Thomas
Kemono Friends is actually Lynch's Twin Peaks S3
Tyler Clark
I don't like this "giving giant tits to those who don't have them" trend.
Colton Morales
Wai~i! You look like a Friend who is good at being negative Sugo~i!
Thomas Martin
Th-then why not baseball...?
I noticed that too after pressing submit.
Jordan Kelly
but I wanna be bj too
Christian Morgan
Sugo~i! You sound like a Friend with small breasts!
Carson James
No, I have faith it will be just as tanoshii as the rest of the show. I also feel we should hold out judgement until at least tomorrow, since episode 7 is clearly going to be a game changer.
Also I like idolshit.
Jonathan Mitchell
I'm not being negative at all. I just think some people with unrealistic expectations for this show are going to find themselves let down when it turns out to stick to being simple retarded fun like it always had.
Luis Cox
Seems like all (shown) birb Friends have good legs
Austin Smith
>episode not even out and people already crying
Justin Miller
I want to massage Auroch's dense thighs and help her release all the tension and stiffness from a long day's work.
Caleb Martin
unreasonably high expectations
Noah Wood
I think this case in particular comes more from Sup Forums's irrational hatred of any remote mention of idols.
Nathaniel Walker
>Sup Forums >hating idols literally what
Evan Johnson
Speak for yourself. I love idols.
Joshua Gonzalez
>irrational Idolshit is garbage the only appeals to the lowliest of otakus to sell expensive merchandise, I don't want my tanoshii ruined by penguins.
Joseph Turner
I personally hate idols, but my tastes are typically diametrically opposed to most of Sup Forums. I see nothing but idolshit in the catalog all day.
Owen Jones
It probably helps they seem to be reusing a generic body structure for most characters.
Also, these bears look like idol fan club members/groupies. I wonder if they'll be thrown in this episode too.
Nathaniel Gray
>I see nothing but idolshit in the catalog all day. That is one sugoi case of selective vision.
Xavier Perez
Don't bully the PPP
Justin Adams
When you go outside of the threads specifically for idol shows most people seem to take this attitude.
I love idols too, I'm just saying that a good chunk of Sup Forums absolutely hates them for whatever reason.
Joshua Long
>it's a genuinely interesting and innovative show gets completely ruined by the sudden injection of idols NO NOT AGAIN
Luis Sanchez
When your mom talks to you guys like an infant child and says "here comes the airpla~ne!" to feed you your baby food, do you also get the same sense of excitement from the way Serval speaks?
Or how about when she brings you to the mall and says "Wow! user look its SANTY CLAUS do you want to sit on his lap and tell him what you want for Christmas? Sugo~i!"
Kemono Friends really makes me feel comforted and protected and I get to learn about all kinds of semi-common animals that I wouldn't ordinarily see with my limited exposure to the outside world!
Leo Bell
I trust them. They already blew our expectactions from this anime since chapter 1. It's going to be fine.
Jonathan Miller
>sudden They've been in every episode so far and probably had more screen time than your favourite in show Friend.
Jaxon Lewis
>>sudden injection of idols I don't know where you've been but the the PPP were always there since the beginning.
Luke Jenkins
I don't like idol-centered titles, but I don't know how one episode, which isn't even aired yet, can derail show into idolshit or ruin it.
Cooper White
>he hasn't been skipping the penguin section
Jaxson Moore
What if time skip happens?
Colton Flores
They likely won't appear in the main plot outside of their one episode and maybe the finale.
Jack Cook
>everyone loves the penguins >"PPP episode when?" >they get their own episode >FUCK OF IDOLSHIT REEEEEEEE
