| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man dat CG Cerulean looks so horrendous About dat Kyururu girl - not really fan of her, especially her design. Looks like a cheap discount Kaban. At least they use the same OST....but dont have any high expectations for this. |

 30 more characters. |

| the CG will take some time getting used to. there was a point when the voice and animation was out of sync. im not sure what all those cerulean are or why they turn into colorful blocks, but maybe thats because i havent watched the first season. maybe it will get better as the series progresses. |

DreamingBeats said: there was a point when the voice and animation was out of sync Got the same impression, I thought my PC is lagging >_< Also I thought it's going to be a sequel but it seems it's just an alternative version. But... was there a flashback of Kaban? Not what I expected but fun nevertheless. Friends deliver ;> Gonna keep watching! |
| Despite everything that happened with the director and stuff, I still want to give this a fair shot. Even if what was done was wrong (it totally was), I can't say the show will suck just for that reason. I still want to enjoy it, but just not support the decision of the company to take the steps it did to get there. I hope the whole Kaban memory thing that Serval is going through gets answered and maybe why it wasn't a direct sequel like people were wanting. Only time will tell. |
 |
| It wasn’t that bad, actually. New designs are creepy, however. Characters look like hellspawns starting right into your soul. I mean, first season was by no means a great-looking show, but at least it wasn’t this... unnerving. |
| KABAN-CHAN STILL EXISTS!!!!! |
| Read my comic pl0x :D Rockerella meets Merman |
| Another sad chapter in the anime story has started. |
| Disappointed. And why no one tells the protagonist that he has snot in the hair? |
 |
| They don't seem to understand why season 1 was such a success. This "sequel" simply has no intrigue to keep you guessing. Ceruleans are fought off by brute force rather than by clever little trick. The whole premise provides nothing we haven't already seen in S1. (It seems that they're just trying to rehearse the whole thing with a different character...) |

SoldusJK said: First season Ceruleans use their more bloblish abstract designs, here they chose to use the design a if the ceruleans were based on objects (like a camera on a tripod)1) why are the ceruleans now taking new shapes? If sandstar falls on living thing -> Becomes friend If sandstar falls on inorganic matter -> Becomes cerulean  |

(It seems that they're just trying to rehearse the whole thing with a different character...) Definetely a lot more intriguing than S1, which ended the first episode with very little conflict, such as "who's Lucky" and "why does he talk to Kaban". Now we have 1) why are the ceruleans now taking new shapes? 2) what is that huge ass crystal near the end? 3) why did Serval forget Kaban? 4) how long has it been? 5) what was that chained friend that appearently struck down the Cerulean? 6) what are Armadillo and Pangolin looking for? And I could go on. There's definetely intrigue. Is that intriguing? I mean, you can watch any show and point to every character on screen and ask "who is this guy", "who is that guy", "what are they doing" and get yourself 100 questions per episode. Being intriguing is more than not immediately giving explanation for everything shown. Just watch Kemurikusa. It has done it much better. |
|
| Btw I'm glad that MAL classifies this as an alternative version to the original show rather than a sequel. |

| The CG is badly done, I hope they get a higher FPS in the next episode. It wasn't that bad, I liked the duck friend, and her using the idea of faking a weakness is the most memorable moment of the chapter. There are a lot of attempts to copypaste what worked well in the first season!: - Kyururu being the closest thing to kaban they could find, even the voice actress tries to sound the same and have the same reaction sounds. - A you forgot your name, let's find the first word that pops up and that will be your name moment. - A tabenaide kudasai scene. - A serval opened arm pose explain moment. - A serval can't open this but kaban can moment. - A smart one-silly one pursuing duo: Arai-san and Fenec in season 1, Pangolin and Armadillo in season 2. - PPP in different animation style at the end - Serval abandons her current life to join human and guides her back home. - Lucky boss obtained at the end of episode 1. It's not that they couldn't do it, but repeating the exact same idea seems like trying too hard to make more of the same whithout knowing why it worked. I feel that not trying to copy season 1 going their own route would be better. I hope that they forget about explaining anything related with kaban and season 1, and instead focus on their new adventure. We see that serval now is very, very strong, so should we feel that ceruleans are a treat now? She defeated two ceruleans with a single hit. Why do they need to run from the third one? Even so, it was better than expected. And I believe kyururu is a boy, because he used both Boku, and Ore to refer to him(her?)self. |

| The episode was pretty bad, I'll still pretend to have hope for this though since I also didn't like the first episode of season 1 that much... |
| That's some hardocre copy-paste from the original S1! I give it a shot because I really liked the S1 but this......This just feels bad. PS Also, It's only me or that framerate is on a PowerPoint level? |
 |
| Felt a bit too much like a copy of season 1 near the beginning but not a bad episode. I'm happy that Kemono Friends is still good. It was cool seeing Tiger just one-shot the cerulean on the tracks and the series still has a bit of mystery going for it |
| Enjoyed it. Gave me a similar feel to S1 before things really began ramping up. Sucks the show's going to be shit on by a lot of people just because of the whole controversy no matter the quality of the show. Also it was kinda sad to start up an episode of Kemono Friends and not be greeted with WELCOME TO YOKOSO JAPARI PARK |
| I guess I won't be too hasty to judge the entire series after just a single first episode. The visual is still lacking but I will stick with it. Serval is back and I'm really glad to see her, to bad she didn't remember the previous human. |

NoviSun said: Then why are you watching it? Don't you have some lint in your navel you could work on picking out? For science . Even its bad it doesn't mean its not entertaining. |
|
| I just realized that the human which serval forgot it's probably not kaban. Even if serval was eaten and forgot her, that wouldn't explain why everybody else forgot about kaban, even more if she became famous with all the friends, nor would it explain where caracal was during season 1. The park also seems less destroyed than in season 1, so... the human serval remembers is either mirai, or another mirai clone (but the studio will keep it ambiguous). This serval would not be the same serval who met kaban, but either the serval from the game, or a serval in between. |

| Just a shell of it's former self unfortunately. I'll still watch it but i won't support it like i did with Kemono Friends where i bought the blurays. |

| That was good, much better than I was expecting. Two problems I have are as follows: First of all I'm not sure if CGI was a good idea, it did feel like they were trying to recreate feel of first season. It did work with some of gags and mood but I'm not sure if doing it with visuals was a good idea, And then character design - I still like how they look but they feel bit too round for my taste. Other than that it did feel similar to first episode of previous story (it was slightly better imo) and I look forward to what is to come. |

| This episode seems to have fared better than I expected in the reviews, considering that Tatsuki's fairy dust is gone. HaXXspetten said: Keep in mind that the audience for this is limited almost entirely to people who weren't off-put by the CG of the first season. So the score of 5.0 isn't exactly undeserved.After how much hate the original got after its first episode I don't think anyone should jump to conclusions here xd Patience lihle808 said: Why? There are A LOT of anime, and the overwhelming majority of those that are good are good (or at least intriguing) from their first episode. So why not judge something after the first episode. A bad anime isn't magically going to improve over the course of 3 months. The only thing that can change over time is your receptiveness to an anime's positive and negative qualities, no reason to give a second chance to a series you don't enjoy.I guess I won't be too hasty to judge the entire series after just a single first episode. If you drop it after one episode, you can come back when it's more suited to your mood. If you drop it half-way through, you'll have to re-watch a whole six episodes before you get original content. |
