Animal friends: An overnight sensation Japanese animation

When hearing Japanese animation, people expect to see some works that have delicate illustrations, like the pictures below.



But, one animation from last season called Animal Friends is very different from those beautiful works. Its quality was so low that many people didn't consider it as an animation. However, there were reasons in this circumstance. In general, every animation has a team to create it, and the most difficult part of making an animation is drawing. From line draft to coloring, each step has different group to operate. As for Animal Friends, it had only ten people in total to making the whole animation, and its funding was much lower than any other animation company.

Surprisingly, everything changed after the fifth episode was broadcasted. Not only the plot had a massive turning and there are some foreshadowing that was very attractive, making audience wanted to know the ending. 

In my opinion, the animation is very cute and positive, and you can learn a lot of knowledge of rare animals. It basically just saying animals are personated and accompany the amnesia main character to find what animal she is. Though I haven't finished it yet, I really enjoying watching it and can't wait to find out the truth. 

One interesting thing that is even the producer didn't know it can be so popular, since he had failed once with the same theme on a mobile game. By the way, its ending song is pretty nice.

Have you ever watched a Japanese animation? Please feel free to share with me! Thanks for watching and see you next week!

  1. Animal Friends really goes viral recently, and after 3 episodes released, all the haters become die-hard fans in the blink of an eye lol. The rating of Animal Friends even higher than Attack on Titan in some episodes. In addition to these animals' positive attitude and their pure friendship, the organized script and the amazing character development are also attractive to people. Though I've not watched it, I've put it on my watchlist and I'll watch it someday.

  2. I haven't seen animations for a long time, maybe after the first grade in senior high(? I saw many, like 黑執事, 八犬傳 and many others. Well, I felt so surprised that Jennifer also watched Animal Friends, since from your passage, I think it's still new.( I haven't seen her watch any animations ) It seems to be an interesting animation, I would like to try it in my free time.
