The wraparound jacket on the fifth guide book and Blu-ray volume of Kemono Friends (pictured), which will go on sale on July 26, has announced a second season of the anime series.

Kemono Friends, based on the "zoo role-playing game" application developed by Nexon, aired on television beginning in January this year. Following the conclusion of the 12-episode series in March, a new video production was announced along with the release of a new character design. In May, producers revealed that a cumulative 200,000 copies of the first three guide book and Blu-ray volumes had been printed.

While the original Kemono Friends mobile game ended its service in December 2016, Bushiroad has announced it would launch a new mobile game this summer. A stage play production featuring an original story was held last month and will return for encore performances in January 2018.

The sixth and final guide book and Blu-ray volume of Kemono Friends is scheduled to go on sale on August 26.

I can see why it has a S2, it's cheaper than Teekyuu to make and it somehow succeeded. Watch it have 9+ seasons as well.

Yes I'm so happy about this!

Not gonna lie at first I had low expectations when I saw stuff from the show or well, at least from what I got, but when I kept going on it was so damn enjoyable (and yes I unironically enjoyed it, and I think its good as well). Though we'll see how this one goes at least for S2 :3

Yet both the Shinsaku and Basuteki are still "pending approval" and thus can't be added to PtW. What else confirmation do you need?

I haven't seen the first season, and it might not matter for me after I watch it, but for now I hope they improve the animation.

With the immense popularity they had, I doubt there's a chance they won't improve. Hope they keep certain elements since I thought the style fit, though.

Considering its popularity in Japan, a second season was unavoidable. Glad it's getting one though :D

I guess it was only a matter of time but still amazing news

I hope they'll have the budget to actually make some tolerable animation this time around though. I mean the story was awesome but it's a bit hard to look past the CGI lol

Still have to watch the first season but even if I end up not liking it, the good thing is that more porn will be made so thats really all I care about.

No surprise there since they hinted this in the final episode and I'm still glad :D

Hoping the new character design won't change much of what S1 had that worked so well to the show's atmosphere that made it so warming to watch.

Kind of used to that charming basic cg, tho 2d would be fine as well, judging by the flood of nice fanart.

Yay! More moe bs to help me sleep! I swear though, if the human character was based on me... well... this anime would be a lot darker from the get-go. "Friends" would be violated and I would have shot and ate the moose. (Moose tenderloin tastes good in spaghetti sauce.) anyway, I have hunted cow moose in the past (limited entery.) and the fact that that moose had antlers makes me think it's a trap. Whatever, I enjoyed this anime a lot and I can't w8 to look at the cute anime dinner menu again in season 2. (P.s. I would have made the grizzly into peperoni, but bear make the worst sound when there dying, so I would probably aim for the head.)

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

No, I would have pounced back on the cats, shot the game animals, and rode the hippo to freedom. No necro bs here.
