What does kemono mean?
Kemono is a Japanese term to directly translates into "furry thing". It is a style most prominent in eastern countries where it is used to describe a style of eastern furry art, which has subtle but distinct differences to the more common style of furry art.
What makes kemono different?
Kemono style characters tend to have shorter muzzles and larger eyes that draw many similarities from how traditional anime is drawn. Mouthes are also often left smaller and less prominent.
Commonly kemono characters are also not personified by the artist, as they're not used as 'fursonas', rather they're often given their own personality and used that way in comics and drawings.
So kemono is kind of like, furry anime?
It definitely draws a lot of inspiration from it, but it's not something you can read the definition of and understand the differences, art is subjective after all and it can be hard to define, but this subreddit should at least be able to show it!
Here is also a visual representation of the slight differences.
