Well, at least many people had a great time following the story of Grape-kun. And even though he's gone, he will in my opinion forever be linked to Kemono Friends.

 

[VAD]

😢😧😨😭

This drawing put tears in my eyes. I feel sad and wrong.

 

[StayDead]

Grape-kun! T_T

RIP

 

[Drencrom]

RIP in peace buddy
He's off on another journey now.

Why did you have to remind me of that deranged penguin...

 

[massoluk]

I feel empty inside...

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Too good for this sinful earth

 

[G.ZZZ]

The story hit close to home because it show that everyone react the same way to loss and sadness, even animals. He couldn't bear it and coped by escaping reality like a lot of people do.

May you have died happy in your fantasy mr. penguin.

 

[PantsuJo]

RIP, sweet prince

Don't worry guys, Grape-kun shall be reborn. As was foretold.

Grape-kun will walk among us in human form. He'll finally be free and have access to... UNLIMITED ANIME!!!!!

 

[SolarPowered]

Like sandstar in the wind...

RIP Grape-kun

This isn't a picture of a rock. It's a picture of the hole in the hearts of millions.

Grape-kun!! Noooooooo!!!

It was only last month when I discovered his story, poor little guy.

RIP

May you forever be with your waifu.

Hululu’s Voice Actors Message To Grape-kun upon hearing him passing away

 

[PillarEN]

God dammit. Meet your waifu in the afterlife little guy.

 

[NSESN]

I usually dislike waifu culture but it was pretty neat that it somehow helped an animal to liver better. Animals are closer to humans than we think. RIP.

 

[CorwinB]

I'm really sad now...
I discovered Grape-Kun and Hululu through the GAF thread, and it quickly became a meme in my family (my daughter's love name for her boyfriend is "my penguin", so we started calling her "Hululu-chan"). Won't be the same now...

RIP Grape-Kun.

 

[Thud]

Just after a new season of Pingu started.

RIP Grape-kun, you'll be missed.

Did.......did he choke on cardboard from the manga character?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

So sad to hear this, the story about grape kun getting better thanks to a waifu cardboard
always maked me smile.
Sometime, anime was not a mistake.

[Zelias]

Should put up a cardboard cutout of Grape-kun next to his beloved waifu.

Good night sweet Prince, and a flight of Hululu-chans sing thee to thy rest.

Not entirely sure if the first image is from the same person. Also, was only able to find a translated version of the 2nd image.

There's more, but I'll actually just link to the album while on mobile -

You guys need to stop posting lol. I'm doing my best not to tear up on the train just seeing all this stuff.

God damn my soft spot for animals and especially penguins.

You get a free sub to crunchyroll when you die?

[Foxy the Fox]

A big one has left us.

We will never forget his teachings about love and overcoming sadness even if we already reached a certain age. Always pushing to the limits.

Thank you for all this Grape-kun, we will always be grateful.

Only if you believe.

Hululu’s Voice Actors Message To Grape-kun upon hearing him passing away

Ugh all this forest fires smoke

 

[Cess007]

You mean his original mate? She actually....ran off with another penguin. Basically NTR if you know what that means (I wish I didn't...).

I remember when that info came out lol

This is the most depressing picture of rocks I've ever seen.

Would you say, it hits you... like a rock?

Sorry, inappropriate humor is the only way I know to deal with pain and sadness

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Ah fuck. Now I'm tearing up.

I read this in my head in the vein of Palpatine's line delivery from Revenge of the Sith.

[Thoraxes]

Read a tweet that said this:

"According to a statement from the zoo, the "Fururu" signboard accompanied Grape-kun to the hospital, and was with him in his final moments."

Fuck.

Few couples can claim to have a relationship as meaningful as that of Hululu-chan and Grape-kun

2017 just keeps getting worse!

RIP lil pengi
