Anyone know of this series or even have it on their radar? It took Japan by storm last year. It won the Tokyo Anime Award Festival TV series Anime of the Year Grand Prize, broke tons of records, and the cosplay representation is huge on the net, but I've seen no mention of it here.

“The first episode of many anime shows are available for free viewing on Niconico Douga. The first episode of Kemono Friends quickly surpassed the first episode of Is the Order a Rabbit? (9 million views as of September 2017; uploaded on April 16, 2014) as well as other popular shows like Attack on Titan in total views. By February 5, it had surpassed 1 million views, by April 4, it had surpassed 5 million views, and by August 24, it had reached a record-breaking 10 million views"
"The opening theme song "Yōkoso Japari Park e" rose to 3rd place in the iTunes charts upon release. It was revealed on May 20 that "Yōkoso Japari Park e" had reached gold status (sales of 100,000+ in Japan). Gen Hoshino has expressed high praise of the song. Hisashi, guitarist of the band Glay, was inspired to create a guitar arrangement of the opening theme song after watching episode 11"
"Multiple other Kemono Friends merchandise topped Amazon rankings upon announcement. The unexpected popularity of the show created a shortage in supply and reservations had to be placed on backorder"
and Industry Drama...

And also... Grape-Kun...
Anyway, I'm just trying to gauge what people might be interested in hearing about for a panel/Q&A etc my group is planning on putting together. or if there is any interest at all. I don't see anything about it in the forums here.
