"The real treasure is the friends made along the way." What is often said as a joke lies at the heart of what makes Kemono Friends so great.

Our heroines, Kaban and Serval are on a simple journey to find out what kind of animal Kaban is and meet other animals or "friends" along the way. We quickly see this story of "girl explores land filled with animal people with her animal companion" become so much more however.

We see Kaban go from having no memories to creating new ones to cherish. Serval finds a new best friend and the friends they meet on their journey are ... impacted by their small acts of selflessness in a big way. In short, Kemono Friends is about the joy of meeting and forming bonds with other people.

What made me so excited for Kemono Friends each week was seeing the next of chapter of friendship and adventure unravel. Kemono Friends was a joy and it will be missed.
