Fans even started an online petition via Change.org addressed to Kadokawa and asked them to bring Tatsuki back at the helm of the Kemono Friends anime project.
Kadokawa, via the official website for the Kemono Friends anime, previously released an official statement regarding Tatsuki’s removal from the project.
Tatsuki then stated that he still wants to continue creating anime, as he did when working on Kemono Friends.
He then thanked everyone who showed support, and that the Kemono Friends fans have encouraged him through this.
