Nexon’s original Kemono Friends app game launched in early 2016 and ended service in December of that year — before the Kemono Friends anime even aired.
The anime will premiere on January 7 at 26:05 a.m. (effectively January 8 at 2:05 a.m.) on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, and AT-X.
The 12-episode television anime then premiered on TV Tokyo and TV Osaka in January 2017 and ended in March 2017.
The play will run at Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX in Tokyo from November 8-18.
