★What is Kemono Friends(けものフレンズ)?

 

 

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “Kemono Friends is anime which started airing in January, 2017 and has now been spreading a mysterious fad throughout Japan. Actually, it wasn’t that popular right after it started airing but... as each episode went by, so many people have started to be fascinated by such a mysterious world view and cute characters in there!”

TVアニメ「けものフレンズ」はこの世界のどこかにつくられた

超巨大総合動物園「JapariPark(ジャパリパーク)」

 

This TV Anime, “Kemono Friends” takes place in a massive zoo called “JapariPark”, which was built somewhere in the world.

 

そこでは神秘の物質「Sand star(サンドスター)」の力で、

動物たちが次々とヒトの姿をした「アニマルガール」へと変身――!

訪れた人々と賑やかに楽しむようになりました。

 

There, animals turn into “Animal Girls” which look like human figures one by one with

a power of mysterious matter called “Sand star”――!

They start enjoying having a great time with people visiting there.

 

 

しかし、時は流れ……。

But as time goes by...

 

 

ある日、パークに困った様子の迷子の姿が。

帰路を目指すための旅路が始まるかと思いきや、

アニマルガールたちも加わって、

大冒険になっちゃった!?

 

One day, a poor lost child shows up in the park.

Instead of looking for her house, they end up having a great adventure with all the Animal Girls!?

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “Actually, its original was not the anime but the smartphone game but...the smartphone game finished providing service before its anime started... What a complicated situation, huh...?”

Boss(  'ω') “For real...? I wish it animated or started airing a little earlier... But again, it might restart the service again due to the anime’s popularity, maybe...?!”

 

Saori (゚益゚)  “Actually, the operating company made a comment; ‘We will neither restart to provide the service nor produce the sequel’. Yeah... it’s a complicated and rare anime, huh?”

 

Boss(  'ω') “Yes, it’s too rare, for sure... It sure is a mysterious anime...”

 

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “Oh well, that’s something that we cannot deal with anyway... Let me give you a little outline of the story.”

 

 

 

とあるサバンナのど真ん中で、「Kaban-chan(記憶がなくても鞄を持っていたので命名)」という記憶喪失の少女を見つけた、ServalCatのフレンズ・「Serval-Chan」

2人はKaban-Chanがどんな「フレンズ」なのかを調べるため、サバンナエリアを抜け、『図書館』と呼ばれる場所を目指します。

 

One of the ServalCat’s Friends, “Serval-Chan”, found a girl called “Kaban-chan” (She was named like this since she had a bag [“kaban”in Japanese] with her), who has lost her memory, in the middle of Savannah.

Two girls head for a place called “Toshokan”(a library) through Savannah area to search for what kind of “Friends” Kaban-Chan is.

サバンナにはたくさんのフレンズがいっぱい!

しかし、中にはフレンズを「食べちゃう」Cerulean(セルリアン)と呼ばれるモンスターも…。

Kaban-chanとServal-Chanは力を合わせ、無事に図書館へ向かうことが出来るのか?!

 

There are so many Friends in Savannah!

But! There are also some monsters called Cerulean which “eat” Friends...

Are Kaban-chan and Serval-Chan able to get to “Toshokan” safely after all?

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “By the way, how did you like 1st episode, Boss?”

 

Boss(  'ω') I felt the 30 minutes were long. But it’s weird... I just cannot wait to see the next episode... Why? Maybe because the animation is unique and the world view in this anime is just so incredible. Kaban-chan and Serval-Chan have such kind personality and there are no so many scary and surprising scenes. It was like as if I was watching Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? (Is the Order a Rabbit?) or Non Non Biyori (のんのんびより) .

★What kind of characters are going to appear?

 

 

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “This story! So many Friends appear! There are some scenes where Kaban-chan and Serval-Chan go on a trip to various places. Therefore the friends who they meet are so unique!”

Boss(  'ω') “Even though they look human, each one of them is capable of swimming or flying in the sky, huh?”

 

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “Exactly! Since each of them has a different special ability, they can cooperate with each other and solve any problems no matter what!”

★Why is it this HOT?

 

 

Saori(´)∩ “I have no idea.”

 

 

Boss(  'ω') “Oh, c’mon...”

 

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “It might be something to do with the atmosphere itself in anime... I’ve heard one person commenting about ‘Kemono Friends’ like this below.”

 

 

「けものフレンズ」は自信を失いかけている人にとって、素晴らしい作品として映るだろう。

“Kemono Friends” will be an absolutely wonderful story for people who are losing confident.

 

 

「すごーーい!あなたは●●が出来るフレンズなんだね!」

“Sugooooi (amazing)! Kimi wa ~ no Friends nandane (You are ~’s Friend)!”

Saori∩(´∀`)∩ “Each friend has a different special ability so let’s go find what you can do! ...What an impressive words!!”

 

Boss(  'ω') “It looks like a peaceful and funny story... which is the best part of Kemon Friends, I guess. To those who haven’t watched this HOT anime yet, or to those who need a little refresher... why don’t you go check it in this great opportunity?”
