| Oh my god it was a 24 minutes episode. How can this air for 24 minutes HOW |
 |
| Okay, it looks low-budget (in particular, it's hard to tell who's talking at the moment because they forget to animate mouth flaps), but it's really cute. Nice touch in showing human advantages too. 39dearMIKU said: BY THE WAY!! I was confused, the main character was referred to "she" in the subtitles. I thought from appearance that this was a young boy!? I assume she is a girl. Well, at his/her age it does not really matter. The original language does not seem to use any gendered words to refer to Bag-chan. |
| Despite people talking about it's bad CG, it surely have some fun story. Anime for "refreshing" of the season. Definitely watching it until the end. :) And here I thought it will be just some ordinary adventure at the safari park, and then some "alien" showed up. Does Bag-chan and Serval never know about "human"? And Hiipo-chan, I totally believe she's a sadistic-type person. LOL |

| well that was weird |
 |
| Despite the art and animation, I thought it was a cute show. There are certainly much worse anime this season than this one. |
| unwatchable cgi nonsense |
| The setting is unique and I liked the characters. It was fun. Watching this even though the CG animation is awful. |
Considering it is a children's anime, this Anime seemed to me entertaining and curious, at least not as boring as Idol Jihen. Let's see how it goes...  |

| WOW NOW I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WOULD BE THIS MUCH CG. And it ain't even the good kind or the slightly cute kind. It's far from the good kind, and it's the FULL 24 MINUTES, and that is not something I can handle, not with this style. Oh god this hurt me. This hurt me on a mental and physical level. I knew it was only a matter of time before I ran into a bad anime this season, but oh god I was not expecting this. Even the voice acting hurt to listen too, though that's probably only because of the anime itself, not necessarily the voice actors faults there, they don't sound experienced, but it's more like adding fuel to the fire here. Anyway, the bad hit hard as heck all at once and no amount of preparation could have gotten me ready to handle this. There wasn't a single enjoyable thing in this 24 minute series. The worse part about this was that I forced myself to watch the full episode before judging it just in case things changed. Things never changed. This is literally the worst thing I have ever watched, I have never been so disappointed and offended by furries before, I couldn't even enjoy the meows. I can't do this, I just can't. AND I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A KIDS SHOW OR NOT. That is no reason for this massive lack of quality, for 24 minutes. God dang it I can't wait to watch Kono Suba and Kobayashi-san to make up for this mess. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| This show is clearly aimed at the younger children, i can imagine this show being great for 4-10 year olds. Bright colors and simple cute animation, perfect fit 4the younger :) Need to add 'Genres: Kids' tag imo. |

But it does really seem like it's aimed at children with all the teaching in the dialogue. |

They could call it the Get Drunk and Cry Power Hour |

| I thought the title was Kemonono Souljaboy Erin...but its NOT! -okay this is shitpost i pity Kaban, Serval doesn't even realised that she's exhausted already! 2/5. |

GangsterCat said: I know some good animal anime:War-yun said: i guess only western companies can make actual good animal animation showEverything now is moe shit. Compare this pile of manure to Damekko Doubutsu, an older series about "human animals". It's like comparing a fucking Lada to a SLS AMG. https://myanimelist.net/anime/2934/Shiawase_Sou_no_Okojo-san https://myanimelist.net/anime/4286/Bonobono_TV https://myanimelist.net/anime/3638/Kaiketsu_Zorori |
S-Word said: This is Utawarerumono, right? No, the similarities are only skin-deep. But if you liked Utawarerumono for its animal-eared girls, you might like this one too. |
So this is the power of Kemono Friends, I feel enlightened. |

S-Word said: flannan said: No, the similarities are only skin-deep. But if you liked Utawarerumono for its animal-eared girls, you might like this one too. Human character with amnesia wakes up to find themselves in a world where only animal-eared people exist. Looks like Utawarerumono to me. Looking forward to the twist at the end. |
S-Word said: I guess you haven't played Futari no Hakuoro yet. It becomes a plot point in that game. Then again, I don't know how much I'd trust the new games over the original. I did not. They weren't even released for PC, to say nothing of being translated into any language I know enough to play such a game. |
| The worst thing I saw in my life, This goes for discovery kids xD |
 |
| Pretty weird as anime series, but I was curious to look after all the fuss that has caused these anime. As I always said, I hate the CG, imagine if I can appreciate this one, though the characters are cute, though not know them at all. Still amazes me that the length of an episode, is similar to the standard, even I imagined was a maximum of five minutes, the duration of each episode. Wow! I'm surprised that two healthy we pages of messages, there are anime series, the milgiore quality this season, coming up to a single page, it is true that the world is populated by madmen. XD |
 |
| Damn, this was actually really cute and charming. |
| 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. |
Arashi89Apr 3, 2017 9:43 AM
| 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. |
mintkatApr 20, 2017 12:31 AM
| 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 |
