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.

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.)

did you really need to necro this old as fuck and now potentially dead announcement for this? It wasnt even funny just embarrassing.

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

I just hope they will improve the quality since this anime is popular now.

Yay! I'm one of the 200k friends.
Kind of used to that charming basic cg, tho 2d would be fine as well, judging by the flood of nice fanart.

i hope theyre going to convert another animal to waifuism again

more sugoi, more tanoshii, thanks for making anime great again. Hope they will stick with that PS2 cgi

Jul 25, 2017 12:54 PM by removed-user

SUGOI!
I hope they don't improve the animation too much. A lot of it's charme comes from how it looks.

just because want know why its so popular enough to someone make porn adaptation of it

yes you should try this i think it get better in terms of story around episode 4 or 5

Jul 24, 2017 11:01 PM by elior1

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.

I'm actually more excited for this than the third season of attack on titan.

Jul 24, 2017 4:20 PM by error5000

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.

lol the budget for the show was absolute trash, and it did extremely well.

Yes finish it! It's incredible... I promise that you get used to the CGI eventually.

Jul 24, 2017 1:54 PM by SakurasouBusters

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

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