 Plot
Japari Park is a large zoo home to extant
species, endangered species, extinct
species, cryptids and some legendary
creatures. Due to a mysterious
substance known as "Sandstar", many of
the animals have become
anthropomorphized into girls known as
Friends (フレンズ Furenzu).[3]

The manga follows a park keeper named

Nana who looks after the various Friends
in Japari Park. In the anime, a girl known
only as Kaban wakes up in Japari Park
with no recollection of who she is or how
she got there and encounters a Serval
friend. Together, they set out on an
adventure to find out what kind of animal
Kaban is, passing through multiple

the service despite the popularity of the
anime series,[8] although the company
later announced that, while a return is
possible, no final decision on a game
relaunch has been made.[9]

On April 23, a new game in development

by Bushiroad was announced.[10] On

In April 2018, Tokyopop released the

Anime

The anime television series, produced by

Yaoyorozu, aired in Japan between
January 10, 2017, and March 28, 2017;
the anime was simulcast by Crunchyroll,
which co-financed and licensed the
anime series.[18] The opening theme is

theme is "Boku no Friend" (ぼくのフレン
ド My Friend) by Mewhan. Original
content for TV Tokyo's AniTele service

unofficial "episode 12.1" 2-minute short
was uploaded by the director to Niconico
and YouTube on April 5, 2017.[20]
Additional shorts have been created in
collaboration with Japan Racing
Association, Animelo Summer Live 2017,

anime titled Kemono Friends 3 has been
greenlit for production.[30]

An original net animation mini-series

based on the original mobile game, titled
Welcome to the Japari Park (ようこそジ
ャパリパーク Yōkoso Japari Pāku),
began streaming on TV Tokyo's
AnimeTele service from August 10,
2018.[31] Crunchyroll began streaming
the series from October 16, 2018.[32]
Stage play

A stage play adaptation of Kemono

Friends with an original storyline ran at
the Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX in
Tokyo from 2017 June 14 to 18. Hiroki
Murakami directed the play and penned
the script while some of the characters
were portrayed by the same actors who
voiced them in the anime series. It ran
again from 2018 January 13 to 21.

Reception
Anime

Initial criticism often latched onto the 3D

CGI animation style and character
design. Critic Hiroki Azuma reported on
Twitter that he stopped watching
partway through the first episode.
However, its popularity increased
explosively after the release of the fourth
episode.[33] Referring to the simplistic
and innocent but addictive nature of the
show, it has been described by cynical
bloggers as "causing one's IQ to melt"
and "lowering one's intelligence".[34][35]
Despite its low production quality, the
anime series earned praise from critics
and viewers in Japan due to its well
crafted storyline and characters,
becoming a fad in the country.[36] Nick
Creamer of Anime News Network gave
the series an overall grade of B, praising
the worldbuilding and criticizing the
visual aspects.[37]

Multiple phrases and exclamations from

the anime have become popular
keywords on Twitter;[38][33] Kemono
Friends-related phrases have been
tweeted by the accounts of Sharp and
Warner Bros. Japan.[39]

The first episode of Kemono Friends

quickly surpassed the first episode of Is
the Order a Rabbit? (9 million views as of
September 2017; uploaded on April 16,
2014) as well as other popular shows like
Attack on Titan in total views on Niconico
Douga. By February 5, it had surpassed 1
million views, by April 4, it had surpassed
5 million views, and by August 24, it had
reached a record-breaking 10 million
views.[40]

The week after episode 12 and around

the time episodes would normally air,
demand for an episode 13 reached
Twitter's international trends list,[41] and
the episode 12.1 short that was
uploaded that day (April 5) had reached
over 1 million views on both Niconico
and YouTube by April 7.

The opening theme song "Yokoso Japari

Park e" rose to 3rd place in the iTunes
charts upon release.[42] It was revealed
on May 20 that "Yokoso Japari Park e"
had reached gold status (sales of
100,000+ in Japan).[43][44] Gen Hoshino
has expressed high praise of the song.[39]
Hisashi, guitarist of the band Glay, was
inspired to create a guitar arrangement
of the opening theme song after
watching episode 11.[45]

Multiple other Kemono Friends

merchandise topped Amazon rankings
upon announcement.[34] The unexpected
popularity of the show created a
shortage in supply and reservations had
to be placed on backorder.[33]

It was reported on NHK's News Check 11

that an increase in the number of visits to
zoos rose as a direct result of inspired
viewers of Kemono Friends.[35] Kemono
Friends has also participated in multiple
promotional events with zoos and other
establishments, such as posting boards
in the image of the franchise's
anthropomorphized animals near their
real-life counterparts. One of the results
of this was a Humboldt penguin named
Grape-kun (Japanese: グレープ君) at the
Saitama Tobu Zoo that appeared to have
fallen in love with its Kemono Friends
depiction, display mating behavior
towards the board. The popularity of this
unusual incident was substantial, such
that the penguin was featured on the obi
of the fourth guidebook, and the board
was not removed after the promotion
ended. Grape-kun died on October 12,
2017, beside the cutout.[46]

Accolades

Kemono Friends won in the Television

Animation Division at the 2018 Tokyo
Anime Award Festival.[47]

Controversy
Dispute between Kadokawa
and Yaoyorozu

On September 25, 2017, the director of

the anime, Tatsuki, revealed on Twitter
that Kadokawa had decided to replace
him for the production of the second
season; fan response included immense
condemnation of Kadokawa and
widespread support of Tatsuki, as
Tatsuki is regarded as being a highly
instrumental part of the anime's charm
and success.[48][49][50][51] Fans left angry
comments en masse towards Kadokawa
on Niconico Douga's stream of the first
episode, with some declaring that they
would cancel their Niconico Douga
premium membership with the service in
response to Tatsuki's firing, as Dwango
[Niconico's owner] and Kadokawa are
both child companies of Kadokawa
Dwango.[52] The Nikkei reported that
stock prices for Kadokawa Dwango fell
by 3.3% compared to the previous day at
the Tokyo Stock Exchange as a result of
the news.[53] In response, the production
committee of the Kemono Friends anime
announced that director Tatsuki and the
animation studio Yaoyorozu had been
using the Kemono Friends property on its
own without consulting all concerned
parties and that Yaoyorozu would not
agree to a normalization in
communication and withdrew from the
project as a result.[54] A September 26
Kemono Friends streaming program on
Niconico Douga then featured several
voice actresses from the anime publicly
apologizing for the ongoing controversy,
despite having little connection to the
corporate decisions made. This led to
further backlash against Kadokawa, with
accusations that they had used the
actresses to deflect blame from the
company itself.[55]

On December 27, 2017, Yoshitada

Fukuhara, the animation producer,
confirmed that Yaoyorozu would
ultimately not go on to produce the
second season.[56]
