Why do people like this show?

sales fags

because you touch yourself OP.

I liked it because I liked it.

They came for the bad animation and stayed for the meh girls

Autism

This

It's a better cute girl gimmick than the more recent 489 cute girl gimmicks.

cute, simple, shit tonne of great fan art

Because despite being a saccharine show for babies, it's never stupid or patronizing.

Because it has a million cute female characters with extremely distinct visual designs and personalities.

Because the plot has a simple logical and emotional arc that never sabotages itself.

Because the main characters' friendship feels genuine and warm.

Because the first season's production is likewise a story of the triumph of courage and friendship over cynicism.

Apparently producing an unironically entertaining television series is so easy that some no-name animators could turn a shitty cash-grab mobile game tie-in into the sleeper hit of the year, while pathetically understaffed and underfunded. This should shame everyone.

But some suits decided that instead of exploiting this IP value-multiplier that was dropped into their laps essentially for free, they'd rather reassert their control by cleaning house.

weeaboo faggots

kemono kino

its basically anime taking over some shitty genre of american cartoon for actual children and so people are blown away just because its unexpected and theres no precedent so they assume it must be some kind of magic or brilliant creativity.

It doesn't have horses.

For the same reason they like My Little Pony.

Toddlers love it.
Sup Forums is filled with toddlers.
Really make you think that you are surrounded by toddlers and kids.

This.

because Sup Forums has been so watered down over the years there is now a sizeable portion of weeaboos here who love anything spoken in japanese, and they unironically love moe + japanese language anything. Even a children's show.

It's fun.

This is about the stupidiest comment in the post.

Nearly 100% of shows made in Japan are moe+japanese language. Great job figuring out that this one has that too! That really explains why people like compared to all the other shows that come from Japan!

Why not also mention that it's not in black and white as well!

It's good

I am friendless

>say something bad about KF
>mod deletes my post
Nice going mods

Cute girls

Children's anime has been around since the 1960s...

it's aots

People started liking it ironically and soon everyone was bandwagoning.

KF is unironically good and didn't become huge in Japan because everyone was being ironic.

It didn't become huge in Japan because it was literally for preschoolers

It IS huge in Japan, and originally aired at night. It was also based on a mobage.

>KF is unironically good
It's unironically mediocre.

This claim unironically makes no sense. It is too unusual, well-made and acclaimed to be called that.

The only thing that makes it unusual is the crappy 3DCG. If it was 2D animated it wouldn't be as popular.

It wasn't as shit as everyone was expecting a CGI show to be. People are impressionable

It is unusual for more reasons than that, and would have been popular in 2D too. Its popularity is not some kind of attack against you.

People want to fuck the Serval

Unusual how? It uses the exactly same pattern as every children anime or cartoon.

did you violate a rules?

There is no such pattern.

Sometimes trying to incite a fanbase is considered trolling, was warned for talking about dragonfags at the height of that shows popular

>MC travels, meets new characters and becomes friends with them
Literally every kids' show ever

Massive oversimplification, and how is KF the same as Precure for example? Completely different structures.

>Massive oversimplification
That's all it is. Okay there's porn too if you want to go deeper.

You have not obviously seen it. You are just jumping to conclusions. And there is much more to a story than just the barebones structure.

I have tho. And it was mediocre as hell.

Why do some people not like the show?

Found the kemonotard. Fire at will.

You have not seen it and as already explained it cannot be mediocre.

>this is your mindset

It's pointless to argue with you if you cannot accept the fact that somebody didn't like your crappy show.

You are objectively wrong.

And you're an asshat

You being wrong does not make someone else an asshat. Grow up.

The fact that you're so full of yourself to think everyone should like your favorite anime makes you an asshat.

Strawman. It's time to stop.

Good. Fuck off now.

No, you fuck off. You are the one who is wrong and resorting to strawmen.

Because it was a breath of fresh air.

How was it fresh you dumbfuck?
It's literally a normal kids show.

Fresh portable toilet stench

You are literally ignorant. Too many people just assume things about this show.

Because I thought it was better than recent anime.

Seemed like a kids show to me.

I'm guessing this last set of posts were by two people. It's a funny exchange, if a bit sad. Both are arguing poorly, one can't even describe his point without oversimplifying, the other jumped to "you haven't watched it" way too quickly. There are people who didn't like the show and didn't think it was special, that's fine and dandy, no need to antagonize them.

What I personally liked about the show was the atmosphere it set, as well as its sense of mystery. Japari Park was a comforting place, but at the same time it was bizarre and foreign. The scenery is pretty and everybody is nice, but at the same time there's something innately off about it. Something's not quite right about the whole thing, even if its denizens don't know what.
Furthermore, the cast, even if they're as deep as a puddle, are likable and fun to watch. The personality they do have serves to make them distinct enough to be memorable, even when the verge on being cliche. The incorporation of animal traits make these simple personalities stand out even more.
It took a while for the show to actually click with me, honestly. I wasn't impressed by it at first. But my defenses to it weakened as time went on, to the point that I now unironically like the first episode, which is one of the absolute weakest.

Posthuman masterpiece of our times.

It isn't an ordinary one, and it was originally a late night show.

>the other jumped to "you haven't watched it" way too quickly
I did not.

The way everyone acts, the animation, really just everything about this screamed kids show.
It's okay if you have actual autism or suffer from arrested development and liked this show but it was still a kids show.
>muh late night show
It was in a late slot because no one thought it'd be good. People record it and let their kids watch it the next day.

>it was originally a late night show
That's because the actual kids show timeslots are expensive as hell. Kemono Friends isn't exactly known for it's budget.

because it was diferent,i grow tired of the same shit,repeated over and over again,the same characters,the same plot lines the same jokes,over and over again,no one takes risk in anime anymre,noone ven tryes to be original they all just copy the same damn cliches abd call it a day,kemono friends was diferent,it allow itself to be diferent because no one really believe it was going to get anywhere,and you like it or not,is one of the most popular animeof the year

It was aoty bro, it lowers your IQ and shit.
Until the end at least.

even for a show aimed at kids this was pretty bad

Happy is dead, hopefully 3D anime will die with it.

Because you can circle jerk on Sup Forums and call anons your friends like a true horse fucker.

Those are some mighty fine hoops you're jumping through

It was made to go with a mobage and was never intended to be a children's show. The studio just made it that way. It really became a children's show after it got unexpectedly popular. And you are a serious newfag if you think children's anime has to be unsuitable for adults.

People aren't autistic for liking what you don't. Age demographics have nothing to do with show quality and even then, the demographics for this show aren't children.

Getting serious mlp vibes from this.

KF has nothing to do with MLP.

They're nothing alike and have no relation. Your vibes are meaningless.

> really just everything about this screamed kids show.
It did, and I assumed it was a kid's show as well. On the other hand, an anime being a kids show never stopped Sup Forums from watching and liking it. /ai/ - Idle Activities Exists for a reason, and DBS seems tailor made for a younger audience. Furthermore, many anime involve a bunch of Japanese kids going to battle/adventure/normal school, Sup Forums is filled with kids shows. That said, KF's vibe is veers in to the below ten crowd.
Many older audiences in Japan seemed to like it because the show hit them in their nostalgia, or it blindsided them with it quality. The meme went "KF is the cute show with cute girls that melts you IQ", so they were aware they were watching something that was generally beneath them, but the show still had its intended effect of soothing the mind of the watcher, until it was a happy ball of goo. Add to that the sudden, mysterious bits of the setting, and it ended up hooking its watchers hard.
As another user stated, it also feels different than most anime that's coming out right now, especially most cute girl shows. It somehow present a more inviting and alien setting than any Isekai show around. The girls being dim and airheaded is an actual plot point and effects how the story goes, unlike many CGDCT shows where it's just to appeal to the audience. I'm having a hard time describing it, but it just feels really unique. I'll have to watch it again to put it in to words.

Of course not...

They factually have no relation.

ITT: furfags claim KF is a mature show about friendship aimed at adults.

It is, but it has nothing to do with furry.

The way people try to assassinate this show by arbitrarily associating it with unrelated negative things is absurd.

Its not the show. Its you people.

The fanbases are the same. Autistic manchildren who call themselves bronies/friends.

KF fans are not furries. You either don't know what furry is or you are lying.

They are unrelated.

> Replying seriously to [smug anime girl]
No need to be so sensitive user. You'll give KFags a bad name.

> who call themselves bronies/friends.
This is a lie, and only TvTropes reports this. This might be true of Japanese fans, but Westerners? No.

>This is a lie, and only TvTropes reports this.

>Kemonomimi girls
>Furry
Sup Forums really has hit rock bottom

I'll be nice and give you that one example.

Most of the mentions of "Friend" are either in relation to the property itself, or the characters in the show. Less the a handful refer to the fans, and it's usually not in a direct response to another fan, but rather in general. I had to gather my autism and actually use ctrl-F for this, because faggots trying to spread false memes always results in bad news down the line.

Weeb mlp

Hey fuck you faglord. Umm, what else...oh! Your socks look dumb! Horses!

Has no relation to either of those.

Cause I like shows that are Doujin bait

How many toddlers, um, sorry, I mean lemon friends or whosoever are here?

because people want to fuck that serval cat and penguins
but they won't go to any zoo cuz the sun will burn them

Probably because you don't.

It's actually funny that you mention it: The Friends in the show largely wear thigh highs in their attire. But despite this, KFags don't even display the fixation on socks that Bronies have. I haven't even seen any fanart explicitly about ZR.

KF greatly increased the number of zoo visitors.
