To be fair, this is only a super-small regional event they were trying to put together, the main events like Friends Area and Japariket are doing fine and they're still able to put together some of the larger regional one. Once a series reaches a certain level of popularity it can host dedicated events, and the next level of popularity beyond that is being able to host regional events, followed by themed events (like this absurd 120-circle Mutsuki-class only Kancolle event.)

KF is still large enough to put up a regional showing, it's just no longer a rising star contender for "next big thing" like Kancolle or, well, much of anything. It's more of an expectation gap than a truly dead series.

You grossly underestimate how large Kancolle is. In terms of C93 circle cuts - which were submitted right after Summer Comiket, back when Kemono Friends was running hot and nobody had even imagined the events of 9/25, and while Kancolle was busy getting its shit kicked in by FGO - Kancolle still beat SF by a factor of seven. It wasn't even fucking close.

In terms of fanart, doujinshi, comics, music, videos, all other forms of derivative content and just about everything that matters, KF's numbers had been increasing but were still far away behind peak Kancolle's. Being the "next big thing" by definition means you are not the big thing. If Kemono Friends fans have one universal flaw it's their tendency to overhype things into being bigger than they are.

I've never seen a sales estimate this high. Also, they were half-price, which you can't not ignore when comparing raw sales numbers.

>the fact that it was more important than the korean missile nonsense, that it saved the zoos AND the fact it crossed over from latenight otaku anime to family friendly mainstream consumer entertainment.
TV Tokyo's decision to air a children's cartoon over breaking news is not really any sort of quantifiable measure of a show's popularity. The fact that a show they wanted to give a morning slot was later given a morning slot again is also not a sign that it's "bigger than Kancolle." In terms of raw collaboration count it's not clear that Kemono Friends comes out ahead either, and in terms of zoo visitor count if you have numbers I'd be glad to hear them.

You are measuring unquantifiable hype-generating activity. Come back to me when you have numbers.

that doesn't discount the numbers.
>never seen numbers
we know 200,000 volumes for the first 2 books shipped and sold out and even more were ordered, and those are the initial releases. if there's 6 volumes, that trick was repeated every time for a conservative sales estimate is 1.2 million volumes.

how much did kancolle the anime and movie sell?

>>19156296
>we know 200,000 volumes for the first 2 books shipped and sold out and even more were ordered
The guidebooks (and merch, and everything else) only sold out early on. By the time they published the 200,000 estimate, production had been ramped up to match demand. Also, if the first two books sold 200,000, and there's six books, then a conservative sales estimate is 600,000. I've never seen anyone claim or suggest that over a million guidebooks were sold.

>how much did kancolle the anime and movie sell?
I see about 110,000 anime BD/DVDs marked for Kancolle 2015 but you know as well as I do that the Kancolle anime was widely heralded as one of the worst anime ever created. As an anime - yes, of course, Kemono Friends blows Kancolle out of the water a thousand times over. That's about as unfair as comparing Kancolle the game to Kemono Friends the game. But in the "fair" battlefield of fan work, Kemono Friends was still much smaller when it was torpedoed.

Losing a massive franchise like this, in the grand spectacle of the digital world, is a serious red flag among investors and businessmen who would ask questions about their business practices. Avoid them even.

Beats me.
I was referring to the other businessmen whom Kadokawa just pissed off

Like the ones who manufactured thousands of nendos and figurines only for it to gather dust and be returned to them
Or the recording studio that lost their biggest earning idol group
Or the ones in charge of the mobile games that keep on flopping due to obvious reasons.

This is just the tip but surely there's so many other factions involved in their fuck up. And these businessmen would never let that pass and make sure that everyone know that it is not a good idea to invest on Kadokawa.

The common people spreading rumor's wouldn't help either.

Heineken once spread out rumors that Corona adds urine on their beer. It costed them $500,000 just to rebuild their name. Gives you an idea of how bad it is on Kadokawa

>> No.19176011

>>19175972
GSC is probably not a great example - from observations, it appears they managed to adjust their production rate for just about every KF figurine except Serval Nendoroid, which is now not just overstocked new, but also second-hand.

Other companies may be more upset, yes, but do we really know what happened inside the committee? Likely that they know better, and the true story seems to have been kept private by every group involved in KFP.

Kadokawa's public image is somewhat damaged at this moment, yes, but I think they will mostly recover, whether we like it or don't.

So long as Tatsuki is airing TV shows, nah.

I'm excited to see what an action-focused show by Tatsuki would look like. The fight scene between lion and moose was great given the budget, but if part of the main focus for the new show is the war against insect-like monsters, you just gotta wonder how they'll handle fight choreography given what little we've seen from Irodori and Tatsuki regarding that.

I use MyFigureCollection, but the series listings are missing some and are incomplete. The Hippo set isn't even up, but it should come out within the next week. The reason I miss out sometimes is because I too have no way to reliably track release dates and new sets.

Not a real update, but last week somebody once again alluded to The Incident at Kadokawa's general shareholder meeting and got the same general answer but this time at some of the highest levels of the company. The CEO quote is second-hand from Twitter but the director quote is direct. What it means I couldn't tell you.

CEO Shinichiro Inoue: "We produce the BDs, but as only one member of the production committee our authority has limits. Director Tatsuki was not dismissed; rather, the production company was unable to meet the wishes of the production committee, and although efforts were made an agreement was unable to be reached. We are thankful for Director Tatsuki's talent and contributions."

Board of Directors Member Shigetaka Kurita: "Regarding the departure of Kemono Friend's director Tatsuki, I personally thought it was a shame to see him go. At the very least, after the breaking of the incident, I believe that Kadokawa did what it could."

You inherently can't trust anything an officer of a company says since they're basically duty-bound to say things that will benefit the company, but the current theory is definitely looking better to some of the early theories flying around like "they decided to ditch the shit 3D animation and get another studio" and "Yaoyorozu tried to get a real contract instead of a shit one so Kadokawa decided to bully them into oblivion."

For me even now I don't want to shit on Mine because even if it is eventually confirmed 100% whodunnit, Kemono Friends wouldn't exist in any form without him, and for me personally Kemono Friends had a charm that I didn't feel as strongly in Hentatsu, Keifuku-san or Kemurikusa... well, KF had more than ten minutes to do it with, so we'll see.

I like most of what's in irodori's portfolio so I'm pretty eager to see more. I would've chosen a different first full length original story-driven series, though.

And really I'm torn on Mine for the same reason, but it's mainly so aggravating because... he MADE it as a multimedia, multiple creator franchise. He let it get out there. It FAILED. And when it succeeds, despite a lot of reverence still going his way it seems like he got soured by the reception/didn't like how the series portrayed the Friends (admittedly, KF the anime is rather dark while everything else... well, can be, but really isn't). If you make it multi media though, you open the floor to different interpretations. It's just bullshit. He could've had his cake and ate it too. Instead, he shat on the cake.

>portrayed the Friends
I think that's part of why the anime was so successful. Its portrayal of animal girls as animals first was done better than in either the manga or the mobile game due solely that there was no humanity for them to learn from and grow out of their animalness as a result. Sure there's Kaban, but she isn't trying to raise any of the Friends in any sort of manner and instead all the Friends learn from her of their own volition (taking mainly whatever little tidbits that interest them the most, mind you, like cooking and buses). I also believe that because so much of the park is in the state of disrepair it's in, it allows for theorycrafting and speculation from the audience, promoting interaction between fans to share ideas and discussion as a result, which is less likely to happen if we know the circumstances behind everything in the setting like in the game or manga.

You can't appreciate diabetes-inducing sweetness that the Friends provide without something to counterbalance it, which is what the interactions with the Ceruleans provides.

I do find it interesting that the Ceruleans share so much in common with Friends and yet they're the ones being reviled. It would've been really interesting to get a better look at how the food web of an ecosystem changes with the introduction of Sandstar radically altering the geography and animals of an area. The Friends are born from Sandstar, they eat non-Sandstar material, are eaten by Ceruleans, and the Ceruleans are popped and explode in shimmering puffs of purified Sandstar, so it really isn't like the Ceruleans are unnecessary, as it seemed like they serve as a pseudo-predator role for every environment, with Friends as their nutritional source.

There is no point in really thinking about it anymore since I doubt they're ever gonna expand on it like they did with the guidebooks, so whatever.

Hell you can even call it deep to some point. Parts of it were reimagined in anime and other parts can still be references in fan creations.

there will probably be a s2 at some point, but there isn't a chance in hell Tatsuki's coming back, so the chances that it will live up to or even build off of s1 are ludicrously small and the chances that it will be horribly botched are high.

Given that, what studio would be the most likeliest to get their hands on making a new Kemono Friends anime (as I really, really doubt they'll ever continue Kaban, Serval and Lucky Beast's story unless they want to get lynched by a horde of salty Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people)? Even then, given the controversy with the original anime I doubt many studios would be willing to try their hands on making a KF anime to begin with in fear of backlash.

I posted these in the /a/ thread but I'll post them here as well. JR East asked Tatsuki to come up with some regional youkai girls for one of their magazines.

Kemono Friends would of been even better if it had guns in it.

That would go against the lore of a post-apocalyptic world.
Shit requires massive industrial, mining, engineering, and scientific prowess to keep running. A bullet alone requires knowledge in smithing and synthesizing smokeless powder

Unless you're thinking of scavenging ofcourse

Friends are already exceptionally strong so guns would be less effective than their own horns/claws with the exception of Kaban and some other weaker Friends. Though I've been wondering, since humans are on average larger than many, many other animals, wouldn't a human Friend be really strong too?

From what I've heard YYZ had made to preproduction on S2 when they were removed. They went from having a follow up to the most successful anime of 2017, to having absolutely nothing.

Yes, but Kaban is a cute little girl, and little girls are weak.

If you accept the canonicity of the manga, then not every Friend gets superhuman strength. Koala was physically frail but has all-healing pap instead.
