Kemono Friends is an anime which aired from January to March 2017 and despite getting off to a slow start, it gradually increased in popularity, leading to the announcement of a second season and a stage production starring the voice actresses, making it one of the hit anime series of the year!

When Kemono Friends first began its broadcast it was not esteemed highly because of its particularly loose feel but as it continued, it was that gentle worldview in contrast to a story that became increasingly dystopian that won it fans attracted to its depth. Additionally, the characters were full of individuality. Here is a selection of the main characters which I would like to introduce.

Serval – voice actress: Yuka Ozaki
