Next we need an apology for the sequel itself.

was it actually that bad, I didn't watch it because tatsuki was not involved, and I didn't hear anything positive about it.

Jesus Christ, I get it, it's got to be enormously frustrating that no one will give this sequel a fair chance. From what I've seen, I personally thought it was just about as good as the original (yeah I know, @ me). But what is there to be gained by arguing with the haters and worse, trying to smear TATSUKI's name? You really think you're going to change anyone's minds?

Anyway, I'm heartbroken that such an adorable and heart-warming franchise keeps getting smeared by the meddling of executive pigs.

Well, given that spoiler[Serval seems to have forgotten who Kaban is, while Kaban herself clearly remembers kind of feels like a slap in the face of those who wanted to see a continuating of their story.] Instead, we get a kinda-reboot that recycles some of the elements from the first show, while sort of reinventing a few things, some of which sort of gets unceremoniously dropped by the end, like the whole spoiler[angry sea thing, never mind our main lead just giving up on what he was doing throughout the entire show.] And the whole thing with spoiler[Kyururu's drawings empowering Ceruleans because they mimic the contents] seemed like a spectacularly poorly thought out idea.

I didn't watch either season of the show, so I have no horse in this race, but it's been interesting to see KF become a literal walking proof of how a production can be ruined through executive meddling. I'm pretty certain that, even if season 2 had been as good or even better than season 1, the apallingly poor way in which Kadokawa handled TATSUKI's removal, combined with how obviously unprofessional this producer has been through the whole ordeal have pretty much guaranteed the death of what could've been a very prolific franchise.

Unless disk sales are off the roof -and I doubt they'll be, I hear very little buzz about this show- I doubt Kadokawa will want to get involved with this mess again

And this isn't a executive meddling as a producer isn't an executive. This guy is the producer of Aikatsu, Gintama and Pokémon as we can see by his works. If anything, the meddling here were from the executives to put this apology by TV Tokyo due to the actions of their employee which they had no idea that it was happening.

But, this situation just shows that between the companies involved on the first Kemono Friends, it wasn't just Kadokawa as this producer also appeared now.
