I'm not sure what's sadder, Kadokawa doing this or Tatsuki being unwilling to this point to raise a stink about it presumably because "Japanese work culture" compelled him not to.

Good for him though if he's now being compelled to take action to protect his own rights. I can't imagine it would be easy to do that against such a large corporation.

I interpreted it as him not getting paid for the first season, if he's talking about the second I can see Kadokawa arguing that the payments he already received was also for the second season scripts.

Sounds like being a lawyer in Japan is a waste of time if nobody ever sues.

Well, at least if this ends up somehow actually going somewhere, the company might collapse. :v:

The audition script is the stolen script. It was available for download to anyone.
The audition also only started today, first requiring video applications.

That's the original author whose script they stole

The script is pictured in the Twitter thread.
It's not related to Kemono Friends in content.

Speaking of VAs, it's come out that for the new unit they were making, they had applicants write their bust/waist/hip sizes on the application form. And they were specifically looking for under-aged girls who were not attached to an agency. So yeah, it keeps getting worse and worse.

Edit: Oh, and asking for that information violates Japanese employment laws.

If you had asked me a couple years ago what the legacy of this lovely CG cartoon would be, "incredible amounts of scandals" wouldn't be my first guess.

Too big to fail, you say? Sounds like we need some old fashioned busting. :ussr: :thermidor:

I kind of see Kadokawa as the Ned Beatty character here in Network, and Tatsuki as Peter Finch.

Why are they already more lifeless than the MMD tier models of the first and only season?

(MMD tier to acknowledge the aesthetics but the characters were incredibly alive, drat you)

This is kinda amazing to see the models side by side, and to see what a huge impact the last layer of shading will do for the final product.

Also it looks like Season 2 is completely overlooking the "shine in eye for existing species, dull eye for extinct species" nuance.

If you told me that was someone's fan art piece, I'd believe you. Hopefully it looks better in motion than it does in still. I do like how they're bringing in Caracal, though, as a possible nod to the manga.
