The first episode of Kemono Friends has managed to accrue over 3 million views in 2 months on NicoNico Douga, an astounding feat for a crude CG anime and looking likely to become the most watched first episode of any TV anime in the history of NND.
The video supposedly garnered 1 million of its views in the first month, with anime fans soon catching on to the show’s many redeeming qualities as its 2nd month accumulated another 2 million views – the far more conventionally appealing Shingeki no Kyojin and Gakkou Gurashi being the only other shows whose first episodes generated over 3 million views.
Those who have yet to watch the absurdly acclaimed series can watch it now on Niconico Douga (though western barbarians are denied this honor, sadly).
I still haven’t watched it yet 🙂
Waiting for it to end along with Kuzu no Honkai to marathon ;P
Well, a little bit messed up with the westerner thing, but Kemono Friends is a nice anime.
I guess the animal personification fetish is enough for most people to get past the shitty 3D animation.
Japanese taste are weird
Not gonna follow their trend watching it, but the OP is freaking catchy though, like a drug
Taste differs and it isn’t weird, I liked this show way before of it airing or trending, In a sense I kind of find peace while watching this, it’s simple fun inoccent show to spend after midnight at.
If i am not mistaken, this anime is based on “Kemonogatari” light novel right? or left?
Based on a defunct mobile game.
