Doggy was left heartbroken, lonely and beat up. Then Kyururu shooed her and left her living in a dangerous place with the beast tiger outside. That's not so nice of you girls...

poor doggo got the worst treatment of any Friend yet.
what's up with that space station?
caracal for worst friend?

also all that buildup for a subplot that gets disposed of within one episode and has no bearing on the main plot or lore?

I feel really bad for Doggo friend, she got the short end of the stick (pun intended hehe ), loyal as always, I wonder if humans escaped to the moon with that foreshadowing

I enjoyed the episode, but I think they missed a real opportunity to enhance the plot. Rather than using Dog as a throwaway character, they could have made her intergal to the journey. Also, it’s heartbreaking they’ve abandoned Dog to a lifetime of loneliness again. The more I think about this squandered opportunity, the angrier I get. Perhaps I should just quit thinking and let it go. The same could also be argued about using Kaban as a throwaway character.

You know, I’m starting to think this series is a money grab by a rather non-gifted corporation and greedy short-sighted committee that doesn’t give a damn about the fans, but only worships The Almighty Dollar, the greatest god of them all.

Saddest episode in the serie, meet a super lonely dog, play with the dog, maker her fight and get very injured, leave the dog injuried to be again all alone... MC is a topnotch douchebag.

I was really enjoying this episode. Introducing a new character like this and then just leaving them in the dust. Why must they hurt me so? The whole last few minutes this was the only thing that I could think of.


First they bring back Kaban and then leave her behind. I could deal with that, whatever. But they can't introduce a character like this and then abandon it. Unforgivable

I do feel sorry for it, but the dog specifically said she wanted to stay and wait. Move on, I guess; besides, knowing KF, I doubt this is the last we've seen of her.

I may uinderstand not take the Domestic Dog friend together but they couldn't even treat her injuries?!? She was almost freaking dying there. She said humans are her reason to live and all she got was shit. This is not Kemono friends anymore. There is no FRIENDSHIP.

I agree with you completely. I have yet to read one comment here or on reddit that thought DD got what she deserved. Most fans seem to be in a state of shock, realizing that they may have been conned by a greedy soulless company that lacks compassion or any artistic talent.

You'll never see a comment saying she got what she deserved, it was an attempt at a bittersweet ending that slips into the realm of bitter

And the fact that she didn't even touch the tea the dog served. Kyururu is such a psychopath

I think the last part the dog wanted her to say "Welcome home" Uchi okaeri, but Kyururu says it in a way that sounds like "please go home". So fucked up

Lol, Kyuururu already has a cute caracal and serval companions, she can't have a dog too. What do you think this is, a zoo? You guys are over-thinking this.

Slayers did just fine with a group of 4-5 people, no reason they couldn't have brought Domestic Dog along for the ride for the last three episodes, especially since the first eight episodes basically built up to this.

Other than Dog having no intention to join them and stay?

Way too much overanalysis over a simple scene.

I use them as references since the world of Kemono Friends is basically an extension of a modern zoo.

The solution was rather anticlimactic, but good nevertheless. And I doubt, that it will be the last we'll see of Dog.

3 things, that got me intrigued: the space station, how Serval's eyes glowed shortly like that of Beast Tiger and the ominous bird(?) Friends at the end.

Also, Pangolin and Armadillo are fun characters.

My theory is that that's where humans are (either the space station or the moon), the start of the show shows Kyururu on a room with some rather peculiar spheres with seats imbued in them, probably she came from up there and crashed in Japari park.
The eyes glowing is Wild Release, it was a stat boost on the original game. Pretty much used when a friend needs a power up, it appeared a few time on S1 as well
The birds are the new musical group they're trying to sell, GothicxLuck, they also sang the ED

@Mkim

I thought, that it looked like some kind of pod, so that's very much possible.

Now I remember. Still curious about what happened with Tiger then.

I see. I noticed that name in the credits.

Domestic Dog is kawaii, and she's so loyal! It's tempting to live there, but I guess that area is not her house.

Rather dumb thing for Kyururu to run out of the house like that. It's plain logic that you don't do that if there's a man killing monster lurking outside. She would have died if the beast was the first person who found her instead of the dog.

What got me angry is they did not even escort the injured Dog back home???!!! The Beast might still be lurking around....

What the hell was this depressing episode? Should have taken Domestic Dog with them. Maybe Kaban will meet up with doggo one day. Otherwise, what a mean-spirited and cruel fate.

Actually, Japari Park/Island is a zoo.

And Serval can just go back to Kaban and let Kyururu, Caracal and Domestic Dog be the new trio.

ok so this was the best ep so far imo so much happened and i loved domestic dog maybe even my faves of the new friends

she was so cute though gotta say the end was sad seeing how she had to go back to being alone again and going back into waiting but that is what dogs do they will wait forever which makes it even sadder

but yeah loved this ep hopefully the last few eps left can be just as great
