Sooooo this forum has been deprived of all things neko for far too long.
The new thread is for: discussion (not idle chatter) & art (keep it SFW please) of animal girls/boys.
Kemonomimi (獣耳 animal ears) is an anime and manga terminology that describes characters that possess animal like features. The characters will be predominately human and any real animal characteristics are minimal, unlike kemono characters who possess a large percentage of animal parts in ratio with their human parts. Generally kemonomimi characters have ears and a tail which is animal-like. Often this is just part of their attire and can be removed at will.
Some specific types of kemono are common enough to be known by their own terms:
Nekomimi / nekomusume - 'cat ears' or 'cat daughter', cat-girls are probably the best-known.
Kitsunemimi / kitsunemusume - 'fox ears' or 'fox daughter', the second most common variant after cat-girls.
Usagimimi / usagimusume - 'rabbit ears' or 'rabbit daughter'.
Inumimi / inumusume - 'dog ears' or 'dog daughter'.
Umamimi / umamusume - 'horse ears' or 'horse daughter'.
Ushimimi / ushimusume - 'cow ears' or 'cow daughter'.
Basically animals so highly anthro'd that they retain only their most prominent characteristics such as ears, tails, fangs, personality, even magical powers.
To further elaborate, we delve in the mystical magic of the first square

I thought shairn locked the kemonomimi thread and all other ones like it permanently o-o. Like when they locked the furry thread and someone tried to make a new one and it was locked again for some reason. Maybe that will happen to this one.

As long as we keep on-topic. This thread won't get locked.

the furry thread is still alive, not as active cause we did lose some furs, and we are cautious not to get locked again. Perhaps the same will happen here, the flame might not be as bright but it will burn much longer.
also (again), I wear a fox tail IRL, does that count for anything?

I agree.
And, it probably counts for the fact that you like foxes, whether they be animals, anthro, or neko! :3
AND the outfit is weird but cute. Not sure what she's doing next to the sign...
Somehow I tend to gravitate towards the red-haired nekos,
Oh, and there is tons of NSFW stuff, so don't post that. There's also much SFW art as well :3
then you will love the first (and fav) neko I ever saw (well, noticed as a neko). From "spice and wolf", nice anime that was a turn from the usual "giant fighting killer robots" that I usually watch.
(Looks more like a fox than a wolf, oh snap, do I gravitate towards foxes? This was before I was a furry even.)

My favorite part about this picture is the fur. It looks kinda photo-realistic. Most neko drawings, look flat, but the detail on the fur really stands out. Nice find! ^__^
Despite this being a show where the Holo would make a perfect piece of fanservice and has no consent of the human taboo to being nude, the show never takes the opportunity to deliberately create sex appeal and instead focuses on economics.
It was probably better for doing that than the majority of Anime. Takes an insanely level-headed team to not fall into the fanservice trap.
And that was why I liked it! They are not shoving the nudity in my face because they are taking advantage of my ball to watch the show more, but because that is how it should be! I am not a big fan of fanservice.

Mmkay, GO!
I'm sure that's a...compliment? n-n
No, while furries are human like animals, neko is animal like humans. They are coming from 2 different directions.
Also, I am a furry but I wear a fox tail IRL, does that count for anything?
*there may or may not be cake
Neko = ears/tails
Furry = animals with human features, like standing upright and wearing clothes.
I figure as long as we keep on-topic, this'll be a blast.
Favorite pictures, anyone? I'll post a couple in a bit.

On-Topic: I don't have any pics. Reason: Parents.

Which I can never find when I want them... errrr... I mean.... yeah. :sleep.gif:

I know that. I'm not stupid.
On-Topic: I gravitate to nearly all SFW nekos pics. But there are some that just don't do it for me.
If you do that. I will kill you and feed your body to the ants. /angryjoke
