Are these assessments fair? Who knows, I just summarize these, I don't write them. The original work's always right there. Though in my personal assessment all the videos by this particular uploader are worth watching, this being the first one, and one I think really materializes some of the vague dissatisfaction people have had towards K2 up until that point in time (it gets much, much worse, but at this point in time I really think nobody saw it coming.)

Also, I forgot the links to the previous part, they are:

- Kaiji (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34675575))
- KF2 Script (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34681332))

2/24 Before I knew it the Kemono Friends 2 OP had gotten into an accident with train friends (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34685521))

- Finally, some fun stuff before we get back to the rest of the party. At some point someone realized that the call-and-response portion of "Japari Beat" matches up almost perfectly with the call-and-response portion of the (Japanese) Thomas the Tank Engine Season 19 OP and so therefore the only thing that could possibly be done was to mash them together, before rolling the whole thing into an animated PV for "Accidents Will Happen" featuring some horrifying tentacle-powered Emperor Penguin train chasing Arai-san before the whole thing rolls into Japari Library and explodes. It makes about as much sense as it sounds.

2/26* Kemono Friends 2 Episode 7 "Beyond the Speed"

2/26 Theory of Kyururu being the Terminator (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34695131))

- Following up on the at least semi-serious "Kaban mastermind" theory that attempted to explain away some fairly unexplicable or dissatisfying actions of hers, this slightly less serious theory attempts to do the same by Kyururu by pointing out that everything she does makes sense if she's the Terminator. 1) the machine she emerges from is a time machine, 2) Kaban's massive laboratory is part of Cyberdyne, 3) Kyururu's right eye lights up in red, 4) Serval and Caracal thump when they fall but Kyururu outright clangs, 5) Kyururu is capable of producing a fairly decent drawing in approximately 0.2 seconds, 6) Kyururu obsesses over the hourglass because she's from the future, 7) Kyururu's shoulders can resist being discloated even by the force of four mighty beasts, 8) you might think Kyururu can't be the Terminator because the Terminator is from a different series (wow) but actually this is just like how Kemono Friends S1 ripped off Planet of the Apes, and also how Terminator 3 and it's new director blatantly gutted the setting of Terminator 1 and 2.

- And finally, 9), which so conclusively proves that Kyururu is the terminator that no other explanation is possible: if you think about Kyururu's position in Kemono Friends 2, she occupies the role that Kaban did in Kemono Friends 1. That is to say, that Kyururu's role is to become Kaban, or rather, that "I will become Kaban" (watashi wa kaban ni naru.) And what do you get if you translate this line into English?

- "I'll be bag."

2/26 I liked these parts of the manga (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34694186))

- Someone points out all the parts of the KF2 manga that he liked. Apparently it's significantly better than the anime (probably the lowest bar in the world), but no summary at this time as it's still on my to-watch list. I might check it out one day.

2/27 Yukkuri analysis [Kemono Friends (supplement)] (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34700709))

- This is a follow-up by the same author of the original "Yukkuri commentary on KF2 #5" video. I recall this particular uploader as doing both excellent and entertaining analysis but the video is nearly 20 minutes by itself and I just got finished summarizing the other analysis video, so you get a rain check on this one. I hope that I'm able to get around to it when I have time.

Couldn't finish this month in the character limit, so one more post.
