Serval VA: (Although Serval-chan cried during episode 10) I am a strong kid, so I wouldn't cry, but I still cried at the last episode. Arai VA: I was the only one who was crying when we were dubbing! Serval VA: I wept when I read the script for the last episode at home
A Nanashi's report of today's radio event from 2ch Kemono thread. ･The box the owl gave to Kaban seems to be a key item. ･Nobody knows friends live as long as human or original animals. It will remain a mystery. ･The VA of Serval cried really hard when she read the scenario of the last episode in her room.
There's no need to humanify human so just a human.
Matthew Roberts
Yes.
Kevin Murphy
>Humanified human that's 3deep5me
Creatures in friend form are a great deal more powerful than their original animal form. I do wonder if Kaban really is just a normal human being actually.
Anthony Torres
Yes. She is a Human Friend.
Evolution at peak performance.
Carson Richardson
>no need to anthropomorphize human there is actually a need if you think of how inhumane run of the mill """"humans"""" can be.
Josiah Flores
But Kaban actually seems like friends also, born from nowhere, 100% compatible with consuming only Japariman
Gabriel Reyes
You got it, what a smart friend. Some friends also think that the hole in Mirai/Kaban's is from her own bullet. She commited sudoku.
Lincoln Rodriguez
Not this again.
Christian Reed

Bentley Allen
But human male will become human female and since Cerulians attack Friends because they want Friends' sandstar, I assume that body are modified by sandstar during friendificatiom. So Human and Humam Friend are different beings.
Grayson Young
A Friend that loves to eat sweets!
Funny, this was the winner of designing a genderbent, anthropomorphized character in the game. Originally, Fenrir is an edgy, male, lightning wolf that loves to eat and get drunk.
Nathan Torres
she's still just a bag and hat though
Matthew Foster
>But human male will become human female According to who?
Parker Kelly
According to the sandstar obviously.
Carter Barnes
After researching, I think the secret behind the success is the bowtie. Not many anime girls use them, and it made Serval look cute.
Luke Robinson
Sandstar power is to turn any animal into a female human
Nathan Davis
Accordinf to Yoshizaki Mine, concept and character designer. He stated that sandstar turns every animal in a form of cute girl regardless of original's sex. Since humans are animals too, it applies to us either.
Henry Long
But yet the extinct Friends seem to know who they are and don't seem to have amnesia, unlike Kaban. Kaban also doesn't seem to have the whole "amplified physical abilities" part of the Friends.
Well, it has been officially stated that all Friends are female doesn't matter their original gender. But that's all based on the idea that a human Friend can exist in the first place which is just speculation up to now.
You'd think if Sandstar can affect humans there'd be warnings in the park.
Christopher Murphy
>･The box the owl gave to Kaban seems to be a key item. It will contain a bullet for the gun inside the bag
Landon Jackson
>Humanified human Sounds like French "philosophy"
Brayden Hughes
Actually, she may be alive. I thought that some friends didn't have highlights in their eyes because their species were extinct, and they've been recreated by mad science before getting sandstared, Jurassic-Park-style. But after this: >Friends are born when Sandstar reacts with "living creatures" or "the remains of living creatures." I'm quite sure they were simply born from fossils. And that would mean that Kaban isn't dead Mirai.
>in the game, Cerulean attack could cause memory loss Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe she IS her daughter after all.
Jason Baker
>Since humans are animals too, it applies to us either. Not confirmed by anything yet.
Hey, there were two generations of PPP before, right? The current one is the third? How many holes are in Kaban's hat?
Lucas Roberts
>Capybara
Christian Phillips
It depends on the anime telling us where did Kaban come from. If she really is made of sandstar stuff, then that's going both close the case and it'll open a huge can of worm.
Xavier Price
2.
Charles Collins
What are you implying
Nolan Harris
One whole day before we reach the penultimate episode.
Wyatt Young
I hope we are not watching the story of how the hat gets a third hole.
Jason Ross
I've been watching the first season of Tesagure and it's a been pretty hit or miss. Is season 2 better?
Charles Price
Are you saying Kaban has killed herself multiple times as a result of having to listen to idol music?
Cameron Bailey
We did come to a good explanation of how UMA friends could have occurred from the GiTS crossover in the game.
>Also, Mirai concludes later that the Sandstar builds their forms based on the AI and stored data, not their bodies, which is why they end up with different colors referencing a certain event from GiTS. Two of them (HAW-206 and Logicoma) even are created based just on archived data carried by the Tachikoma rather than any original physical body or active AI in the Park.
If this holds true, then data or stored memory, or maybe even faith would be enough to give cryptids or the Japanese gods a physical friend form in Japari Park. This form can only be sustained within the Japari park exclusion zone at that, because friends revert back to their original form without the background sandstar radiation.
Nolan Hall
No. It's just that Kaban's been repeating the same loop for her best friend several times by this point.
John Gonzalez
>or maybe even faith would be enough to give cryptids or the Japanese gods a physical friend form We /monogatari/ now?
Gabriel Russell
Lets hope not. I know we like to joke about those meguca parody but lets not have Kaban do a homu.
Zachary Jones
Or a simpler explanation is that in the Kemono universe, cryptids and gods exist.
Joshua Rogers
>Madoka of Evangelion of anime
Evan Bell
Fuck, I think the new episode comes out at like midnight where I am, and I have so much shit to do the next day.
Lucas Hall
>Kaban's best friend in the whole wide world So can we say that Cerval does it for ai yo? wtf.
Eli Bell
This. For fuck's sake there's a magical material from outer space than turns Earth's life forms into cute little girls. Fat snakes and supernatural chink animals gods could very well exist in a world like that instead of some silly reason where the sandstar transformed the "concept" of their existences into being.
Jayden Flores
¿which one is the best pet?... i mean girl.
Josiah Parker
Season 2 is actually better but if you didn't like the first then it's not going to be much different. Just many more meta-jokes.
Adrian Ward
How about trying gdgd as a warm up before going back to Tesagure?
Carson Perry
I'm legit pissed that the show is this popular. nobody fucking watched seha girls or other similar shit, yet all the faggot crunchy-reddit users are fucking this shit up with their forced meme hipster garbage.
Colton Howard
Well I saw it coming. In the few threads many weeks ago where kemofure exploded in japan, I lamented that this would become popular and would be ruined.
Tyler Flores
>For fuck's sake there's a magical material from outer space So just because one fantastical thing has been introduced, we should assume that any and everything can exist for no reason? Why would you come to that conclusion when in the setting they've given us so far there's been absolutely no mention of it? Or do you think they just don't give a shit about the setting and make it up as they go along?
Gabriel Jackson
I thought about that before, but the problem with fossilized remains becoming friends based on Mirai's explanation in ep10 is that you must use bio-matters, which excludes a huge amount of fossils that are essentially just cast where the organic bones get replaced with minerals.
Yet you have Tachikoma. Interestingly enough, the beasts who turned ""friends"" are closer to cerulean (Cerval's past self) than friends according to Cerval. As such, it could well be that memories and conscience play very significant roles in friend formation process.
Dinosaur friends may be difficult to come by because there's really no living memory of them at all, plus that there's little surviving organic samples save what's locked in amber by and large.
>Dino friends may still be possible though. We can still go Jurassic Park with Japari Park
Jack Rogers
I did. It's a good thing a niche show I like finally got popular without suffering from toxic fanbase in the west.
Also SeHa OVA raws when? It's been quite a while since it got released.
Justin Howard
Guys
What if Kaban was a male hunter who traveled to Japari Park to catch some rare game and he saw Arai-san fucking around with the hat. He shot at her but missed, hitting the hat instead. As he went to pursue her, picking up the hat in the process, Mt. Sandstar took this as a sign that it needs to protect the park and erupted over the both of them, turning Hunter-san into Kaban-chan and erasing part of Arai-san's memories to reduce the shock of being shot at. But it made her a bit retarded as a side effect.
What if Serval's VA was crying because Kaban regained some of her memories and started talking about breeding Friends for hunting purposes or taking some Friends out of the park to sell for money and fame?
Matthew Perez
>Sup Forums told me this is low IQ tanoshii SoL show >getting serious and dark
Sup Forums deceived me, again
Sebastian King
Just hope this means season two m8
Landon Cook
>caring about what retards aside from Sup Forums and Japan think
Who fucking cares? Out of sight, out of mind. Stop trying so hard to make yourself mad by searching up irrelevant shit.
Henry White
It's still really not popular in the West though. These self-important "critics" can make their videos as click-baity as possible but no one is going to give a shit because of the CGI. And thank fuck for that.
Kevin Gray
Don't despair. These aren't changing the general perception by the normies about this show. Kemono Friends isn't going to change that made-up perception in the west.
Jack Green
>things that never happened
Thomas Wood
>hunting in a public park
nani
Grayson Clark
Despair can be tanoshii too.
Parker Perez
But is it better than straight title?
Justin Morris
>for no reason >Why would you come to that conclusion Really? >sandstar works this way >makes friends out of animals or their remains >cryptid friends exist >no reason at all to believe cryptids exist in that universe
Jose Evans
Well meming it up with madoka references baiting people into watching it isn't a good way to start. At least we can look forward to the future surge of people posting 'Hey I watched the whole thing and there wasn't a dark twist what the hell you faggots tricked me boku no pico XD fuck you'
Because There is no twist And that's the twist.
Blake Cooper
I want to rape Tsuchinoko and make Shoebill watch it, knowing she's next.
Juan Moore
I don't think we'd be friends if we met in real life and you spent your time complaining about how other people like a thing that you like.
Elijah Phillips
I don't think it's quite like that. As things stand based on Mirai's account, the evacuation of human being from the park did take place, and the island's essentially the zone of alienation that we see with Chernobyl. It wouldn't be a poacher who goes in.
Camden Hernandez
Anything is better than Straight Title, even Naria Girls.
Aiden Jenkins
But there is really nothing serious. Serval wanting to help Kaban looking for her habitat isn't dark at all.
Bentley Bailey
Friends are not for lewding
Adrian Stewart
That never happened. Yes, the backdrop may be foreboding, but the friendship is warm and bright.
Anthony Turner
>I thought that some friends didn't have highlights in their eyes because their species were extinct, and they've been recreated by mad science before getting sandstared, Jurassic-Park-style. But after this:
That was the implication in the game, since the park had a division for research and recovery of extinct species even before the Sandstar stuff (led by Kako).
It's one of the changes in the anime, which makes it more likely that Sandstar bringing back dead things will be relevant. I guess in this case they might just have cheated with Kaban's design (giving her alive eyes) in order to surprise more people with the eventual reveal.
Angel Thomas
Her eyes went back to normal the very scene after the shocking 'Zenmetsu?' reveal.
Easton Carter
Gatekeeping saves lives, fuck the dirty secondaries. They'll ruin this show just like they ruined Madoka.
Joshua Flores
I'm talking about if they reveal that Kaban is a dead person reborn thanks to Sandstar. They might have given her living eyes, rather than the eyes used for extinct Friends revived from fossils in order to make the eventual reveal more surprising, even though it's technically cheating.
Aaron Hill
I like how much this artist loves Southern tamandua
Henry Gutierrez
We can't rule out that the institute of zoological research with Kako is still relevant in the anime. It's just that there's more to sandstar than just it being a hyperevolutionary agent which reacts with bio-tissues in the friend formation process.
We already know that sandstar does react with inorganic matters according to Mirai to form Cerulean. Given what we've seen from GiTS crossover, we can further build on this and say that it is the level of conscience and memory that separates friend from Cerulean (Cell alien).
How else can we account for Cerval's own comments that the beasts in that 'friend' form are closer to Cerval as the Fake Serval than to friends?
Grayson Diaz
...
Ryder Sullivan
The problem with this is that you add drastically unnecessary contrivances to a straightforward setting. What you're saying here is that literally any "concept" or "idea" can be given physical form by the sandstar if there's enough conscious push for it. Bring in faith as well as image attribution into an already twisted abstraction like that and you're just asking for a massive can of worms to spray out all over.
Alexander Parker
Well, homo sapiens sapiens haven't gone extinct.
>Will friend form all be classified as subspecies under the Homo genus?
Owen Howard
>those last two images They're geothermal plants god damn it.
Jace Davis
After finally catching up on this fucking meme show I have to say, Serval-chan is great. It's nice having a cat character who has more than just nyan-puns, which is a bit sad to say considering this is a show for japanese fetuses.
Also, 1. How come the Shoebill has so much shit when she did fucking nothing. 2. That penguin episode was ass and convinces me this was some sort of scam by the yakuza.
