I had an inkling they had a few too many/more than usual tie-in shorts. Could it be their manner of making these was going around the system the company wanted?

Looks like another fine mess. "Communication Issues"? It kind of reads like the studio and the production company were not on the same page as to what was allowed as far as use of the characters / property.
So, it boils down to a Fired vs Quit spat. In the end it just means that any sequel to the show will be a lot longer in coming and will likely not live up to what the fans ( You know, those people that pay to stream, buy disks and show goods. Yea, them. ) had hoped for. Mark Gosdin |

I can't even imagine any other studio and staff agreeing to take up Kemono Friends even if it's done by experienced peeps.

Well, things just keep getting worse and worse for Kemono Friends. At this rate, it will be reaching Konami-Kojima levels of controversy. I am starting to think this series is coming to an end.

When it rains it pours and this basically means that Kadokawa has fired the entire studio.

Kadokawa is shooting themselves in the foot, yes. But this should be a golden opportunity for any other studio to offer an interesting enough project to TATSUKI/Yaoyorozu to work on. He might only have Kemono Friends to show on his resume, but then again, it is Kemono Friends... |

So... If I got this article correctly, Kadokawa got angry because studio made shorts without their permission. While I understand it from the legal point of view, they really don't make the case better for themselves here and pretty much killing franchise.

I'm assuming that goes for the tie-in shorts as well, like the zoo and ramen ads. If my Google Translate is working, that would account for:
While:
would pretty much confirm the "New better CGI system" as one reason for Tatsuki's shakeup. |

Tatsuki took Kemono Friends as his pet project and Kadokawa let him do that during first season as it was dead franchise anyway. Now when it is super popular Kadokawa do mind which should not come as surprise to anybody working in the industry. Don't fight with rights owner, you only lose.

This whole situation is confusing, it's seemingly tied up in miscommunications, misinterpretations of policies and permissions and more.
There's defiantly multiple layers of a story to dissect here and odds are it will never be as simple and clean cut of an answer as people would like, that's the way things work sometimes though, things get messed up through no malcontent just because of mistakes from multiple people across varying levels. |

The conclusion that most people are drawing from this is that because Yaoyorozu used the property without permission (ie probably with episode 12.1) Kadokawa pulled the rug from under them. But that doesn't seem to be quite what Kadokawa is claiming happened...?
In plain words, that sound to me like: Yaoyorozu used the property without proper permissions, Kadokawa gave them a slap on the wrist and said, "you know, if you're going to work on S2, you can't just go making spin offs willy-nilly", and Yaoyorozu responded, "Nah we're gonna do our own thing whether you like it or not" ...Which seems pretty doubtful, because while Yaoyorozu is a very young studio, it's hard to imagine anyone being stupid enough to blow such a huge deal with an unreasonable request like "we get to do whatever we want without anyone's permission". I mean, I guess it's possible... but then you'd think that Tatsuki himself would have heard something about it. Especially since they supposedly "resigned" almost two months ago. |

At this point, the best case scenario would be that season 2 never gets made, and people happily remember the good old days of season 1.
What I find funny is that this is coincidentally occurring while the Japanese Prime Minister is executing some political power plays that could lead to war. A funny coincidence if it is one. If it is not, then that would be mad genius. |

And the horse racing short, and the Udon short that just aired a week or so ago. There was also when the characters appeared during....Animelo? I think? I'd have to check up. They have been getting around quite a lot, and that might be what upset management. |

I don't get all this legalese
 Can someone translate that statement into plain English?
Anyways, if Yaoyorozu are the peeps who made KF season 1, and Kadokawa are the peeps who own the KF name, and they're not working together anymore, then that basically means there'll be no more KF. The best Kadokawa could produce without Yaoyorozu wouldn't really be the KF we all love, and the best Yaoyorozu could produce without Kadokawa wouldn't be allowed to use the KF name. Right? |

Were those weird horse-racing etc. things done by Yaoyorozu without permission from Kadokawa? It sounds more like something that Kadokawa would force them to make without Yaoyorozu wanting to.
