Kemono Friends
| After removal of Tatsuki (Kemono Friends director) rest of staff resigned, not agreeing with that decision. Apparently, he was fired for making episodde 12.1 without Kadokawa permission. At this point, future look very bleak for Kemono Friends, even if S2 will be made with different director and staff, people are really angry, regarding of S2 quality, sales of merch will plummet. |

| Considering how many fans canceled their pre-order when the Classroom of Elite was butchered by their anime studio. I think we can expect even greater backlash from this one. |
 |
| It was dead in the west even before it was alive so... |
 |
| I'm afraid Kemono Friends is dead. Only Pingu in the City can save the industry now. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I think it will be fine - for now there is big backlash and no one would put anything related to it. But looking at things it does seem to settle a bit and people are less passionate about it (no new info in general). So all that Kadokawa needs to do is wait for a month or two, put some shows or music related stuff (since people still like voice actors) and than they can slowly accelerate with the project. They also have one more option - otaku won't watch and buy stuff... but kids would. So making them new target group, might be rather easy - get a morning slot, print plushies and money will flow. |

Drun_Ken said: Actually the studio pulled out in August, before Tatsuki was even fired. Kadokawa released their statement yesterday. They wanted to be kept in the loop about the anime studio's use of the property but the studio didn't agree to that. The "use of property" most likely refers to episode 12.1 but they didn't actually give details. This is Kadokawa's official position at least. Nobody knows what exactly went down in the background and I think we may never know... Lies obviously. the timeline doesn't added up. the studio made lots of collaboration commercial of Kemono Friends between episode 12.1 and the announcement. It's clearly just an excuse. first they tried to put some voice actors to the front line and made them apologize for this shit on a radio show. then they even tried to put Mine Yoshizaki, the one came up with the idea of Kemono Friends and the character designs (AKA the author of Keroro Gunso) with this shitty "news": http://www.excite.co.jp/News/entertainment_g/20170928/DailyNews_1359354.html Claim that firing Tatsuki is Yoshizaki's call. Again lies, so much so it pissed of Satou Junichim, the head director of Keroro Gunso:  he jumped out and said that this is bullshit, he said from his own experience just how much Mine Yoshizaki respect the director of an adaptation of his work, that he would never do something like this. This is reinforced by Asako Nishida, the animation director of Keroro Gunso.  I hope you can see just how shady Kadokawa is now. |

I've read some people claiming that it's just some page making stuff up to gain clicks by joining anti-Kadokawa rage, which makes sense to me. |

I can not convince you to believe me, but Excite is not really a small site in Japan... don't you think making up fake shit like this without any backing would be even more stupid for them don't you think? |

I can not convince you to believe me, but Excite is not really a small site in Japan... don't you think making up fake shit like this without any backing would be even more stupid for them don't you think? But in this case - what would Kadokawa gain? They might piss one of their more popular author, for weird publicity stunt. Guy who they need if they are planing to do something with the series. What would some clickbait writer gain? Clicks, revenue and more popularity. Most people would believe him/her because earlier Kadokawa did something moronic with VA (I really have no idea what cretin thought it was a good thing to do, given how liked they are). So yeah... but than it might just be me being past point of anger or being sad. I did what I could (like writing on that ministry thingy) and now I'm just a bit tired. I would love for Tatsuki to return and see more of that dumb cat adventures but given how industry works, I've accepted that someone else might take it. |
| And to read that this scandal united the fans from Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan to show support to Tatsuki and Yaoyorozu is quite amazing. Unless things gets miraculously resolved as a win-win for both parties, there's not much chance for Kemono Friends again. Man, what a fucking clusterfuck this has been. |

| Something just came out today, Inoue Shinichiro (President and CEO of Kadokawa Production and Kadokawa Shoten) and Fukuhara Yoshitada (Producer of Kemono Friends and the President of Yaoyorozu, the small company that Tatsuki and his even smaller studio belongs to.) both tweeted about this, and said the two companies are going to have some discussion. So, hope? Inoue Shinichiro's tweet https://twitter.com/HP0128/status/915071890648993792 Fukuhara Yoshitada's tweet https://twitter.com/fukuhara_ystd/status/915074525783453696 |

They already had two meetings, so some dialog has been made. Plus fact that such statement were made - so far Kadokawa did fine job with radio silence (except that idiotic VA stunt) and there was no need to speak out, which makes me believe that they already found some solution and are working on details. Best ending would be bringing back Yaoyorozu but who knows. |
