Please don't comment if you haven't watched all the episodes and don't spread hate in the comments.

Personally, I didn't like this series very much... I'm not sure what's wrong with this series, but half of the episodes (if not more), were kind of boring to me, even though I love this kind of anime. The animation and VA job was awesome though.

How do you feel about this anime? What could've been done better?

I enjoyed it a lot minus ep 11 which was meh. An 8 for me overall. Loved the cast and even minor characters. Nokotan getting wrecked by other mascots was a great end of the season. I hope to see a s2.
My drops for the season were roshidere and isekai yururi

My thoughts?

No thoughts, it's been broken since episode 2.

Overall, Koshi is still best girl, Literally, she can almost do anything if she actually do it.

It was stupid fun, and sometimes you need stupid fun. It would have been an 8 from me but the finale minus a few funny bits (shunning the reveal from the last episode) it was really weak. I will watch a season 2 no question.

I did find it funny at first but I sort of felt like I was just getting the same punchline each episode, nothing wrong with it but I did get bored around the midway point of the series because of that.

Thought it was great, enjoyed it the whole way through. Weakest bit of it was Anko, but she wasn’t in as much of it as she could’ve been, and even when she was she was hardly at her worst. Her absence would’ve bumped the show up for me more, but not by much.

Boring. I don't think that comedy anime with unlikeable protagonists are really my thing.
Shikanoko was an ass for every episode, I really didn't like her.

Solid comedy. Nowhere near the level of Njchijou or even Asobi Asobase. I'm not even sure if if even lived up to the immense hype that it had due to memes. 7,5/10

For a comedy to make me annoyed, you need some high level effort, and Shikanoko managed to make me dislike a series made by a mega based illustrator, with the genre that immiediately has it easier to earn my respect, and a group of very vibrant characters that would constantly make you laugh if the comedy wasn’t so fucking repetitive and prolonged.

I didn't like the last episode. Honestly, I thought there would be something related to the cliffhanger from the previous episode, but it was just a bunch of random things happening.

I liked it for the first 2 episodes. After that I stopped finding the same jokes funny. I was really tempted to drop it by episode 8 but I somehow pushed through to the end. Definitely one of the worst anime I've watched.

I laughed 0 times in total. Actually, I think I did laugh once while daydreaming about something else.

I don't need to laugh out loud to enjoy a comedy, but I enjoyed very little of this.

Edit: Just remembered the rifle guy's monologue. I did laugh at that.

biggest disappointment of the season. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't hit. nothing wrong with the art, animation or voice work- these were all on point- it's just that the show wasn't fun. Proof positive that if something is strange and irreverent, it doesn't automatically make that thing funny. a shame.
That OP is still so infectious.

just the perfect anime if you want to enjoy some brain rot . you'll have a good laugh, but is it the best comedy anime? NO, you can definitely find much better comedy anime.
The first half was good, second half was kinda less funny.

A decent anime, it didn't really live up to its hype. A solid 7.5/10 from me.

It's fine. The only one that make me laugh a bit is just last episode when she drop the bomb to the deer for few seconds. other than that just random things that can't make me laugh at all. i like aho girl which is also act so random, maybe because in shikanoko only one cast that had common sense while other is just follow suit. while in aho girl case half-half so who play the straight man is not just 1 and other cast can respond differently.

The show was overhyped and didn't live up to my expectations. It was still good and got a few smirks and laughs from me. The yandere imouto was the best part, but unfortunately, she didn't get a lot of screentime. Overall, I would rate it 7 out of 10.

it was alright, it started out well and the final episode was great, but had a lot of fluff in the middle, it also introduced a lot of characters and tropes, but did very little with them.

the show has nice character designs, clean visuals and a lot of fun memes going for it, but it would probably be experienced better with highlight videos and such, rather than actually watching all of it, 6.5/10.

The entire series fell TOO flat. It made me smile a couple of times and on occasion made me chuckle, but it never made me burst out laughing that I had to pause the show. The jokes are basically half baked, and most of it became stale after delivery. There's so many things to point out why this anime is more of a letdown than an instant classic. I'd rather keep my post short.

It was ok in general, the first five episodes were great and made me laugh a lot, but after that the show began to fall of with the jokes feeling too repetitive and tiring.

Also it has way too much characters, with most of them (outside Koshi-tan and Noko-tan) being flatter than a paper sheet and having little to no development or personality, Anko's only joke is the incest with her sister, same goes for Meme and the rice, that works at the beginning, but after a few chapters stops being funny and turns annoying instead.

Student Council was overly wasted, Chiharu is totally irrelevant. Kinu was hilarious with her anxiety and pessimism exaggerating everything and imagining always the worst scenario, remembered me to Bocchi somehow, but just made a starring episode and never got another important participation again. Neko was the unique good and overall consistent character out of the council, the other two could be entirely removed from the series and absolutely nothing would change.

Last, it missed two great opportunities to create really great episodes with an original and innovating plot that varies a bit of the repetitive school/club dynamics: first was the Deer Con in the episode 5 or 6 I think, we saw Koshi training to be a better keeper and strengthen her bond with Noko-tan but that section of the episode ends abruptly with the teacher entering to the club and seeing Koshi's dance while she's internally dying out of the shame, and the actual event was never executed, that was SUCH A BIG FAIL.

The second missed opportunity was continuing the plot proposed in the epilogue of 11th episode with Noko-tan never having actually existed and being just part of Koshi's imagination all this time, maybe they could do something interesting with a story of parallel universes/timelines, it would have been a much better closing that showdowns with the other mascot deers that only Japanese people knows and cares about.

It's was pretty okay

Sometime it's funny, sometime it's not

I think they need to tone down a "breaking the fourth wall" gag, it's annoying

It's not good as most comedy anime that I watched but it's still good in their own way

This show was just trying its best to take itself serious at curtain points and than something just stupid happens like Nokotan straight up being a absolute menace and breaking into the planting class and just making an absolute joke of herself and people are just amused by her. Like bruh everybody in this show minus Koshitan lost their braincells

Good parts are very good, weaker parts are dull but nothing truly awful. A pretty decent 7 that I would recommend to anyone that wants brain diarrhea.
IMO 5/10 is the true boring average score. Anything better has positives and anything less is getting into dubious territory.

It's okay, it generated way too much hype, so it's kinda logical that some people felt let down.
Characters didn't really click with me, I mean Bashame was completely pointless, the rice joke got stale after at most two times.
First episodes were funny, but then it all felt quite forced and random.
