Gina Szanboti Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Grape-kun, Tobu Zoo's Humbolt penguin that fell in love with the cardboard cutout of the Kemono Friends' Humbolt, has died. He was 21 (which is old for a penguin). I hope she was by his side to comfort him during his illness before he passed away. May he swim with his waifu in Japari Park Heaven. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I was about to post about this. I'm actually really sad right now. Hopefully he's in a better place now, where he can watch Kemono Girls Season 2 with Hululu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I have to admit that I wasn't too crazy about this story at first. I thought it was about trying to rekindle the "Weird Japan" moniker for no good reason, and this show could stand as awesome on its own merits. But, in the end, it's a prime example of a rare heartwarming story in today's world. For that, I guess I'm grateful. Grape-kun can hang out with his waifu in heaven and not have to witness Kemono Friends S2 be bastardized by a different staff. B} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 But in reality, we all know penguins are horny dicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The character designer of Kemono Friends made an original drawing just for Grape-kun's memorial at the zoo where he was laid to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me ridiculously happy, despite the tears. T.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyaos Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Whelp. I made a thread about this. In the wrong section. Several days late. Oops. Still, he's going to be missed. What I find quite sad is that even though cardboard cutouts cannot reciprocate love....he didn't care. He still loved that cutout. That kind of love is hard to find these days.
