A Secret Tip for 'Kemono Friends' Fans: Get a Gurutto Pass!

It wasn’t until recently that the anime Kemono Friends rose in popularity. The first reviews weren’t very positive, but now phrases from the anime (‘Waiiii,’ ‘Sugoooi,’ ‘Tanoshiiii,’ and so many more) are so frequently used on Social Media that these simple sentences have a new name: Kemono Friends Syntax.

Since the anime is about little cute animal girls, the zoos are experiencing a surge of new visitors!

You can use the pass for 2 months after your first entrance and it expires in March 2018, so use it wisely. The pass can be bought at any partner facility of the Gurutto Pass. Since some of the facilities have long breaks or are closed for construction, check their schedule on their official websites before going!
