| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- First they leave the dog and now the Beast. Poor ending, i feel like it's a crime to give this higher than 5/10. |
 |
| Well it wasn't a... terrible show... but compared to how charming the original was, this never feel like it got off the ground really I mean I still kinda enjoyed it but meh. Was hoping for quite a bit more. I know the original writer wasn't in this one but still 5/10 probably |
  |
| No shoebill, so it gets a lower score by default. That beach scene was pretty good. |
| I’m pretty disappointed by this final episode. It was pretty dark and grim. I’m hoping there’s a follow on series or movie that lets the friends have a happier ending. I’ve been pretty annoyed ever since episode 10 and the enormous letdown with how the story treated DD. I feel like they sold us one thing and delivered something much worse. |
SoldusJK said: I really hope this is true and it happens in a reasonable amount of time, as I’m pretty bummed about DD right now.Then Ryuchi dropped this bomb on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryuichi_Kimura/status/1112772953437949952 |
| They let Beast die and pretty must never explain how Serval forgot about Kaban or how they got back to Japanari park. |
 |
| We can clearly see Kaban did not forget Serval at all! They only changed the MC to try dissociate from the original work and I will always hate them for that. Those reviews trying to give the show more than 5/6 are completely insane. It was fun, ok! But It was also completely childish and empty, we developed nothing. They way they used the new friends was not cool at all. I do not hate the show, but I hate what they tried to do with it, especially with Kaban and Serval relationship. |
| Feel like i'm the only one who loved it. 9/10, liked it as much as the first season. |
 |
| Well, this was an action packed episode and I'm glad Kaban seemed to remember Serval. Hope they meet again and go on adventures although it's a bit impossible since she has Caracal and Kyururu. Overall it was a disappointment of a season with a bad animation and a bad plot line. Although I can handle these, what most was missing was the education of the friends. I kinda missed those fun facts about our friends, they gave us a bit of education and made this series go beyond bad animation and plot. I liked the characters though. 5/10. |

| I guess the best I can say about this season is that it got better as it went on, shame we got no lore or anything to look forward to. I hope that if we get more KF it is about what happened with Kaban and Serval or their adventure, drop Kyururu, nobody likes her. All this finale did was to remember the wasted potential with Kaban on that beach scene, Poor tiger died and then they reminded me about how lonely is Domestic Dog's life T - T someone please give her the warmest pats, we have that final drawing but whatever. |
| Terrible ending for a terrible season, I can't understand how anybody could give it seriously a good rating unless they were already heavily attached to kemofure before watching this. - No emotion in the fights, everything still dies 1 hit-ko - The promised fight against the cerulean beast lasted 2 seconds, wasn't anything special. - Not even a single scratch for anyone, doggie sucks at fighting confirmed. - Also doggie staying lonlely confirmed. - No explanation of serval memory loss. - But still fishing for season 1 feelings and reusing season 1 opening. - Not finding kyururu home. - Not solving the volcano-bad mood sea problem. - Not even fighting the blue ship cerulean (apparently PPP is fine with giving a concert with ship cerulean below them) - Not resolving ceruleum leak. - Not explaining why kyururus drawing were magic. - And didn't destroy the drawing nor stopped kyururu from drawing more. They must be fine with more cerulean copycats appearing. - No explanation or solving any mystery with the beast. It was a deux ex machina in animal form. - Heavily relied in friends cuteness and the attachment the public already had to the series. - That feeling of "my story is the right story" is too strong for me. The director forced kaban and serval to demonstrate that they kinda remember but it's not important now, because kyururu group is the focus now. And he won't lose any opportunity to stress this. I really wish there is a director/story writer change because the current team feels really amateur. The world of kemofure can offer much better stories than what we got this season. |

They way they used the new friends was not cool at all. I do not hate the show, but I hate what they tried to do with it, especially with Kaban and Serval relationship. They've changed the MC literally everytime they made new KF media. EVERY TIME. If anything, if they kept Kaban, this would be the odd one out. As much as I like Kaban, there was nothing new she could provide - she had developed, matured, and the entirety of her character was explored in S1. She remains an excellent cast choice, but no longer a good centerpoint for new content. Had Kaban been kept, we'd be banking this season entirely on the Friends being cute. At the end of the day, the way they used Kaban, I believe, was the best possible option available; and I certainly did enjoy Kyururu on her own. Kaban ended up having quite the tragic tale, but she doesn't seem badly-adjusted in the slightest. Most of the drama over how the new Friends ended up make it seem like there was ill-intent, and people were actively trying to demonstrate bad things happened to them. Though, I can't say I agree on the slightest. Domestic Dog, in her unenending loyalty, decided to stay herself, it wasn't Kyururu or Caracal denying her; and given she appearently has ties to old protagonists (Nana/Mirai, notably), I'm quite hoping she gets further attention at some point, even if in a short episode like season 1's 12.1. That's why it is defined as an "adaptation", they don't have to strictly follow the original material, especially if it doesn't work. You don't have to necessarily change the main character, just because the games do. I maybe would not mind they changing the MC if it THEY HAD FINISHED her story, like yugioh franchise for example. They just change after they complete the whole story. If not it is should be just like Pokemon (not that much seasons of course). Also: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. If there is or not more content at other medias should not matter. The anime is REALLY BAD even if there was no original version, they just wanted to explore the golden goose they found but ended for strangling it when all they had to was NOTHING. |

SoldusJK said: If it didn't work for you, what can I say other than "too bad"? It worked out in the East, and a large portion of the fanbase remains, hopefully going into the next project having filtered some of the negativity. If you can read japanese, read all the answers to Ryuichi Kimura director after the announcement. That should give you an idea of how well "It worked in the east". it kept some of the fans, because it's kemofure, but I don't think most people are happy with *this* season, or the story as he managed it. (To anyone who can't read japanese: there are many not happy answers, and he has been in a twitter blocking spree). |
| we gonna see the miracle happened tonight with 2.6% of niconico rating surpassing the currently rank 1 yugioh arcv |

And Kemono Friends is a top trending tag on twitter with plenty other positive reviews. Yes, both good and bad opinions keep it trending.And the point stands, people like kemofure, but not exactly what kimura did with it. Thesd opinions for example, are not the most positive( unedited screenshots of a minute ago):   Yep, trending isn't only for the good reasons... |
Azumi-teiApr 1, 2019 8:58 PM
| I definitely wasn't as pleased with this season as I was with the first season, but over all I still found it very enjoyable to watch even if it didn't give of the same vibes as the first. I hope they're will be a season 3. They leave me in a position where I want more at the end of each season. And if we do get a 3rd season, I hold it's a prequel to the first. |

| wtf was this episode |
 |
| idk what to even be sad about anymore. tiger getting btfo by debris falling from god knows where? kaban getting NTR? the maelstrom of writing that took place? fuck. |
|
| WOW Kyururu is the villain of this series. She/he/it sacrificed that tiger(?), She/he/it did the drawings, She/he/it said the doggo to f**k off... EDIT: also, propably She/he/it is half cerulean. She/he/it has different eye colours and green/black hair(?)) |

| Kinda glad this monstrosity is over. Even though I looked forward to this Kemono Friends because I kinda did enjoy the fuck out the OG Kemono Friends when I watched it during the Twich x CrunchyRoll event in summer 2017, this alternative story really did dissapoint me. |

| Meh. The writing was horrendous but I feel bad for all the talented animators and designers that obviously worked hard on this show. Friends are a cute and loveable concept and could still be a good franchise if they make the appropriate staff changes for future projects. |
 |
| I tried to keep an open mind going into this, despite the whole Tatsuki situation, but I ended up being disappointed by S2 as a whole. The writing felt off, it lacked the charm of the 1st season, and it was rather mean-spirited at times. Not happy with Dog and Beast's fate at all. And Serval having no recollection of her past journey with Kaban is just plain depressing. Poor Kaban. Bleh. |

| Well, that was... yeah 😐 As much as i tried to stay positive about s2, this ep just went so far beyond acceptable amounts of anti-climax that i think it actually wrapped around and achieved a sublime new level of WTF 😑 Maybe with the return of “Welcome to JP” there will be a chance of getting some story back-fill to replace some of this landfill 😅 |
| “SAITO! YOU NEED TO EXPLODE! FOR THE WORLD’S SAKE!” |
| Mixed feelings overall... The serie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it's REALLY far from being as enjoyable as the first season. Let's say it was okay. Also, what was the point of showing dog at the end ?! Am I supposed to be happy that she is alone in the house ? |
 |
Tanma said: The point of it is lore. The last image reads something like "the nice mister and lady of the park". And it shows two caretakers with Dog, Mirai and Kyuururu (and Serval and Caracal). So in her past life Kyuururu actually met Dog. So even back then she made a drawing and sent it to the staff (since Dog is rereading old letters). Mixed Also, what was the point of showing dog at the end ?! Am I supposed to be happy that she is alone in the house ? |

| As I really liked the first series, I approached the series with some distance after a few pieces of information and as I thought the anime did not impress me, it was not bad, it was perfectly fine, but by evaluating S1> S2 Score: 6/10 |
| Ending fucking sucked, and Kyururu is dumb, but I did like some of the new friends. KF needs to stick to CFDCT. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
Azumi-tei said: Well yes and no. You can see Dog being close to the caretaker, but Kyuururu seems like a visitor, Dog's place wasn't her home either. It also makes doggie more lonely and kyururu a bigger douché,because she was indeed one of the humans doggie was waiting for. |
|
| Not bad! but Tatsuki could have done better...just look at Kemurikusa...haha lolz anyways, they've used the OP of S1 which is very nice! lolz even the no affinity Beast helped Kyururu and the other Friends against the Cerulean but still no affinity! haha lolz For sure Serval really could not remember any trace of memory to Kaban...sad! And domesticated dog still alone. 4/5. 7/10. |
 |
| Ultimately, I enjoyed it as much as the first season. Panda actually slept through the whole ordeal. Fortunately, Kyururu was able to save Pigeon and tell her that she isn't alone. The scene with Kaban and Serval was bittersweet. So was the final scene with Dog. I didn't expect Tiger to stay behind though. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| Some interesting things happening near the end. Like, what was the deal with that "Beast", what happened with Kaban and Serval in the past, what was the deal with those two black bird Friends, and what happened with the "Whale" Cerulean monster, among some other stuff. But pretty much all a mastery in the end, and largely unexplained. That was a huge bummer. It feels like there was potential to make the story more complex and interesting, but it felt largely "filler-like" in essence. Sort of a shame. |
