| Girl on top of girl this soon, eh? Hello, Hippo. :) lol at Hippo keep telling them to be careful as they keep getting farther and farther. lol at Serval trying to open the box to get the guide. lol at Hippo saying the Cerulean has some nerve challenging her to a battle of big mouths. There she is! My waifu friend in the preview on the first right of the middle character. So perfect. I've ignored Kemono Friends for the longest because it looked terrible and that I just wasn't interested in it, but one day I saw a character (fan art) that was waifu material (mentioned above) and found out that she was in this show. So my only reason to watch this is to see that character and know her personality. After watching this episode, aside from looking ugly as shit with that CG, it is actually good enough to keep watching. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Lol, this was so much better than expected. Seriously, the animation isn't that bad. So underrated. |
 |
| And thus, my journey with the friends begin. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Wow this is already great at episode 1. Which idiot rated it 1/5 that's plain stupid and I am not even sorry. |
 |
| Gave it four minutes. Noped out. |
 |
| lol, that was fun. Somehow it has this sinister vibe to it. |
 |
After reading comments in the first page |
| Hmm, this series reminds me of Jinrui wa Suitai shimashita (Mankind has Declined). The entire park is quite mysterious and does have a SF feel to it. Very nice world building. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I really want to like this anime, but the character models are just so bad they don't integrate with the detailed 2D backgrounds. I swear I've seen better CGI from the newest Berserk anime series. |

| Pretty average start, the CGI hurts my eyes a bit, especially with some of the models not being properly UV mapped... But well the setting is pretty nice, so let's see what's next! |
 |
| I don't mind the animation but the plot bores me. :/ |
  |
| At first I put this anime On-Hold, thanks to the CGI. But after reading a few articles i decided to watch this anime. If you wondered why I watch this the answer should be obvious. I am Bored. Bored of random High School setting. Bored of unlimited Harems. Bored of watching so many people getting reincarnated into fantasy setting that happens to have magic. Too many anime these days keeps on trying to become popular to get many fans. When the game producer pull the investment on this anime, it lost all of its budget. This anime have a formula that being forgotten by many people and the creators these days. This anime is back-to-its-roots Adventurous Journey |

| Even worse cgi than Berserk 2016 and the whole "animal" girls that are clearly human behaving like animals thing is really awkward at times. I mean, did Serval not understand the concept of thumbs despite having them herself? And those aren't "claws", they're just normal human hands. Fuck it, I ain't got plans tonight. |

| I appreciate it avoided the "humans can't do anything" cliche and acknowledged that we have good heat management and endurance compared to many other creatures. The face that the "animals" look like people in costumes is pretty weird, though. When Serval paws at the map box with her human hands it really doesn't get her difference from "Bag" across, and when the hippo makes the crack about big mouths it doesn't work because she actually has a tiny anime mouth. |
| Decided to check this out to see what all the fuss was about. I like it so far,it's cute and light hearted. Guess I have high tolerance for cgi cause didn't mind it at all. Not expecting too much from this but as long as it manages to be above average I'll be satisfied. |
| What am i watching lol |

| Quite a weird beginning, it wasn't THAT bad |
| I'm shocked by the fact that Hippo-type is sexy. LOL I wished I didn't even try reading the first page. |
 |
| Serval stalking a new friend. Hippo teaching Kaban-chan to learn to protect herself. Well, that's basic survival if you're in the wild. Are those ceruleans some sort of alien monster? |
Liddo-kun said: Serval stalking a new friend. Hippo teaching Kaban-chan to learn to protect herself. Well, that's basic survival if you're in the wild. How she continued to give advice to Serval and Kaban-chan as they moved farther away was hilarious. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| That was better than I expected. Serval is a master in stalking playing tag. Nice animal trivia. The ceruleans sure are weird. And how the robot only reacted to Kaban-chan added some mystery. As for the length, I'll rather watch 24 minutes of Kemono Friends than some other anime. |

| I can see why Kemono Friends was not that popular for Western anime fans... And I can also see how this is mostly targeted to kids... But...even with the weird animation, clunky story, and honestly just weirdness of it all...I actually like it quite a bit. I think Serval is a great character, and it has a somewhat charm to it that makes me want to watch more and more! I can’t really explain it. |
| To be honest the CGI is kind of ugly,,Not the worst I have seen but still!!! But my girls were beautiful as always!!! Other then the CGI it was a cute first episode with some Yuri vibes!! The lesbians are adorable and I kind of like it!!!  |

| That was a very interesting start. I love this unique setting. All those landscapes are beautiful. Serval's "Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow" sounded so cute. xD She and Kaban are cute together. ^_^ |

| The cgi didn't bother me, unlike others in this thread. The backgrounds were really good and the characters are all so cute! |
 |
| Good episode. The cgi is obviously bad but i could see past that after 5min, the world building was really interesting |
