Fukuhara(YYZ Producer) twitter.com/fukuhara_ystd >Sincerely apologizing for announcing this to our fans so late. Since it would have a wide influence, we were always considering about how we would announce this all the time. >Many thanks to Mr. Kawakami and Mr. Inoue for their quick reacting, listening and understanding. Sorry to have you all worried. >We are beginning to discuss about this case here. Yoroshiku onegaisimasu.
Inoue(KADOKAWA CEO) twitter.com/HP0128/status/915071890648993792 >As for the Kemono Friend's case, since KADOKAWA is only one of the production committee members, we haven't announced anything by ourselves until now. >I personally agree that Director Tastsuki has rendered outstanding service for Kemono Friends. >It is our fault that we didn't correctly understand about the real reason behind this controversy. >We had two meetings with members from Yaoyorozu in the last week, and from that we came to realize the production committee and Yaoyorozu had very different opinions over this case, especially with both side's understanding on the Director-changing case and copyright utilization. >We now correctly understand the meaning behind the Director's twitter statement. >We're going to discuss with Yaoyorozu about our future plan. Thank you for your understanding.
Do not get too excited. We are still on the battle but they know they cannot ignore the backlash
October 8 protest shall continue
Austin Ortiz
No, but that shouldn't matter since Tatsuki is a director, not the producer of YYZ(Yaoyorozu), so it's not really up to him.
Leo Howard
It better not be. if they just said "lol joke" the result will be so much worse
Matthew Jones
Well the rope gonna have to wait then
Elijah Hughes
>good news It's veritably nought.
Anthony Mitchell
>This sounds like nothing but lip service. Japanese companies rarely do lip service. It sounds like Kadokawa realised there is nothing to gain by playing hardball.
Things can still fall apart, nothing is certain. But it does sound like at least some Kadokawa leaders believe it is worth trying to repair the damage.
Nolan Brooks
The point is that both sides are meeting and talking to each other to come to a resolve.
They can't ignore it any longer. Keeping the pressures up was the fans jobs, and we succeeded at that.
Logan Smith
Even if they do bring Yaoyorozu back to the fold internally they will probably just shit all over them
Robert Ortiz
Tatsuki will find a way.
Evan Peterson
Of course there is nothing to gain.
S2 they can still cancel. But there is already the Pavillion game, the CDs, events, mercs etc. That's a massive lost investment. But the bad PR is the real stinger
Adam Torres
why is that thing angry
Cooper Brown
Maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding and better terms can be negotiated. Kadokawa will forever leave a bad taste in peoples mouths, but not much can be changed about that. What's done is done.
If tatsuki is back and everything goes the way it should, then I'm not complaining
Parker Smith
>Maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding That'd be a romcom-level misunderstanding.
Nathaniel Flores
They are probably too traumatized to do that. Last time they bullied someone, it costed them this much trouble
Ian Cruz
>Good news
It is literally the same news. Do try not to stir up shit before any actual statements get released. Thank you.
Christian Robinson
Notice how Kadokawa’s exec avoids apologizing in any way whereas Yaoyorozu’s is sorry for pretty much everything? I don’t see this going well.
Owen Clark
Seeing how our state cannot get any worse, any news is good news
John Baker
I cant imagine them coming back without some sorta guarantee. at least I wouldn't want to in their shoes.
then again they are holding the keys to the kingdom.
Dominic Cooper
Hardship.
Aiden Anderson
>KADOKAWA >It is our fault >Japanese salaryman saying admitting to a fault
for a big corp to admit to ANY fault is already a miracle in itself
Dylan Turner
>Seeing how our state cannot get any worse When things get worse, I want you to remember that you posted this.
Isaiah Mitchell
He put it in the OP for people who didn't know yet, it's only been 8 hours calm down.
Henry Martinez
I'm pretty sure Yaoyorozu wouldn't agree to any deal that lets Kadokawa shit on them. I think people demonstrated well enough that they want the creators, not the brand.
Jace Lopez
>That'd be a romcom-level misunderstanding. We are talking about Japanese hierarchy of a huge corporation. It is entirely possible that decisions were made that had unintended consequences. If Kemono Friends had failed as an anime then what occurred would not have been news. But the fact is that it was the biggest anime of the season and it is possible some senior management could have missed the memo. Many of them would not have watched anime themselves.
James Price
Factually untrue.
Ryder Murphy
...
Jack Stewart
Literally the same news from 8 hours ago? Yes that's obvious. It's for the people who missed it or just woke up. No everyone can patrol the threads every second.
Literally the same news since last Monday? No. That'd be completely wrong.
Jack Cruz
both of them are only apologising for putting out a statement so late.
Angel Thompson
...
Leo Allen
>It is our fault that we didn't correctly understand about the real reason behind this controversy. >We now correctly understand the meaning behind the Director's twitter statement.
>our fault we didnt assess the situation >only apologizing for making a statement late. No.
Ethan Phillips
>Put the money in the kaban and nobody gets hurt
Chase James
2ch did it. Never thought I would see the day where Kadokawa actually apologizes.
Colton Garcia
It wasn't just 2ch. I'd say twitter overall had the most influence, and everyone on Discord who organized the events.
We just need to use more cliches and death flags until they can't possibly happen all at once. What could go wrong?
James Walker
How does it feel to have to come to the end of the road?
Robert Martin
Yeah, but 2ch was one of the major players.
Juan Lewis
Oh fuck yes.
Joshua Barnes
>snake they could have at least picked a good monogatari girl
Grayson Hill
otter chan is the only one that I don't need lewd images to fap to.
Jayden Johnson
What s the image saying?
Tyler Campbell
Dirty things about your mother.
Mason Thompson
Maybe the VA's can slowly start tweeting about KF again.
Jonathan Jones
JCs are the best.
Michael Fisher
Hopefully with this in the OP we won't get retards arguing like they have no idea these tweets happened for half the thread like last one.
Sebastian Flores
Here's hoping for the best.
Nolan Johnson
Translation please? Is this something about the history of NND?
Jose Evans
Yaoyorozu, I give you my energy!
Parker Powell
>Yuri Ecchihou >Futa But /u/ told me that futa isn't yuri.
Alexander Phillips
You know... I know nothing is certain yet, but there's a real possibility that the KemoFure community did the impossible and just forced a Japanese zaibatsu to BACKPEDAL.
Joshua Carter
I remember watching those touhou flash videos back In the day not knowing the source material was a bullet hell game . Spent YEARS not knowing this
Josiah Long

Parker Gonzalez
"my generation had the most internet fun because memes"
Liam Perez
Nice, some good news for today.
James Bailey
Nice.
Owen Perry
>Kadokawa will forever leave a bad taste in peoples mouths

Joshua Foster
>the day before the shitstorm is unleashed, the doujin is scanned >the day the shistorm possibly nears its end, the doujin is translated Quite possibly, the day before the shitstorm ends and Season 2 is confirmed? Book ends, let me tell you.
Hudson Foster
This keeps on getting weirder and weirder
It's like getting duped into a wild ride that's somehow enjoyable and nerve-wrecking at the same time
I started watching once episode 5 aired
Christian Jenkins
map of internet generation born 92-95
elementary school: flash era middle school: nico era high school: anime era university: social games era salaryman: after coming home from work exhausted every day, only watch anime that doesn't require you to use your brain such as kemono friends
>you're a friend who's good at unpaid overtime! sugoi!
Julian Johnson
...
Jason Cooper
I started watching when the fiasco explodes on Sup Forums and made me curious
John Russell
Too bad for them, Japan knows their shit much better than a bunch of angry lesbians. Yuri is pure, paca. Please don't spit on it.
Gavin Myers
Same here. I had been meaning to watch it before, though.
Angel Myers

Asher Ramirez
Nice template >implying KF is the first or last IP they screw up >implying only KF fans are mad at kadokawa Boatslutfags are fucking livid as well.
David Ward
Guys, I just wrote a heartfelt letter to Kadokawa, does this button really say 'submit'?
Colton Garcia
Paca spit is lube
Carson Jenkins
google hand-draw OCR says yes
Andrew Murphy
google translate you can draw it with your mouse on a canvas there
Jack Long
>Too bad for them, Japan knows their shit much better than a bunch of angry lesbians. Not exactly. It's the same as here, some nips think that futa is yuri, some not.
Dominic Allen
Here's hoping all the shitheels that were attracted to these threads for their internet activism and drama with no prior interest in Kemono Friends will shortly fuck off and we get our comfy slow threads back.
Anthony Walker
You know that's not gonna happen.
Cooper Bennett
...
Cameron Taylor
Alright, thanks.
Luke James
how are the nipfriends reacting?
Dylan Smith
i can't believe silver losing it and raping ezo red is the sequel to the warm and fuzzy "this is no time for games" and "games are one hour a day" books
left hand is actually the worst
Jaxon Cooper
I wonder if anyone remembers this stream from way back, but SafariLive is on and there's some cute Leopards in trees and Lion cubs! Check out if you want mind off for a while for just simple entertaining animal life. youtube.com/watch?v=My_qFt3sayI
Xavier Lee
happy and skeptical at the same time.
William Nguyen
I do think we got the best of the Internet before it became the social network cesspool it is now.
Jordan Torres
the english channel is discussing Russians and Anonymous / hacker involvement
>KF world probably has domesticated catgirls for personal ownership
Samuel Cook
don't care about the show but seems like this might make me laugh
can anybody tldr the drama for me
thanks
Gabriel Evans
I still follow it.
Carter Lopez
That's cute, wish all protest is like this

A company decided to not renew a contract and now otaku are sperging out.
you should visit the discord to see the full-fledged autism
Lincoln Green
nice
Jaxson Walker
Needs more servals
Brayden Edwards
incidentally this ludicrous development notwithstanding, both ゲームしてるばあいじゃない!! and ゲームは一日一時間!! are fantastic books on their own merit so you should buy them, and since i don't think they've been uploaded you can be the first to do so as a bonus
i have a half a mind to scanlate them myself, but not this month
Isaac Cooper
Servals are sadly rare sight.

Justin Martin
Kemono Friends game is shut down KF anime budget is slashed, director given full freedom to just do whatever He puts his heart and fucking soul into it, producing the sleeper hit of the decade with a team of six guys and some no-name seiyu He even hand-makes, on his own time, an additional episode purely for the fans KADOKAWA use this as an excuse to fire him in an attempt to gain control of the sudden cash cow they're sitting on The six-man team who worked with the director pull out of any further dealings because what the fuck man, that's not cool NOTE: this is basically suicide in the anime industry due to corruption, KADOKAWA could easily ensure nobody works with them ever again Fans over the world unite, even traditional enemies of Japan like Koreans, and call KADOKAWA a bunch of faggots via twitter KADOKAWA gets scared, call their aunt and uncle in bel-air
