Kemono Friends S2 Dropped:

This is no more Kemono Friends than 'The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan' was Haruhi Suzumiya.  When a completely different author starts writing about a completely different plot with completely different characters, just because it loosely shares the same setting doesn't mean they're part of the same story anymore.

Now, if it's a good story, like Kaleid Liner was for Fate, or Gun Gale Alternative was for SAO, then I have no problem including them under the same umbrella, but Kemono Friends S2 is not a good story.  It doesn't feel like there was any need to tell this story at all.  There's nothing fresh or exciting about it.  With the composer being changed, we don't even get the same catchy music anymore.

Every episode I watch of this series will just remind me how much better the real Kemono Friends was.  It will only aggravate me.  There's no point watching greedy capitalists ruin what was a great work of art any further.
