I didn't laugh, but I'll stick with it. It might've been more impactful had I not seen the trailers.

Always happy to hear Fujita Saki though.

Lately I've been feeling bored by a lot of anime. Deer Friend, so far, is the kind of visually absurd, socially satirical story I need.

This show is selling us the concept of cute deers doing cute things. Well I am receptive to its ideal!! Peak first episode, pure brain nourishment. Nokotan has already gotten herself a maid!

Most based anime this season. This is 100% profiling itself to be the best anime of the year outright.
Pretend there's something flashy and cool here.

We just had Train to the end of the world, but this blows that out of the park in terms of weirdness. A self aware, 4th wall breaking, absurd comedy. I'm going to enjoy this one. Initial classroom scene was hilarious.

The memes have dragged me in. I have now fallen into the brainrot.

All I know now is that deer are superior to humans. We must now give a weekly sacrifice of deer crackers to Shikanoko.

All hail our Deer overlord Nokotan!

I liked this a lot more than I expected.
We got 3D Deer's & slow motion things happening.
A lot of typical comedy stereotypes but they still will very entertaining.

The marketing for this show is insane, of course a big part of that is the Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan meme, but still, it's insane how much people are actually watching this.

Now, let the power of shitpost, brainrot and deer compel us.

This is amazing, first episode definitely left me wanting more! It’s so funny ^~^

The anime is honestly just as much brainrot as the meme itself, but isn’t that what makes it so funny lol? It’s so trippy and it makes zero sense sometimes, but that’s what I love about it personally :p

I laughed like two times during the 24-min episode. Feels like poor man's Dokuro-chan.

It's lovely! Plenty of trope and otaku references and surreal moments, Koshitan casually greeting us not even a minute in, and some nice yuribait between the two MCs already. Although not yet the Nichijou S2 level I highly hoped for, like the narrator said: Its only the first episode! So hold on to your horses (deers?) and enjoy

Watched it on the It's Anime Youtube channel, I love the genius that translates Nokotan's "notsu!" greeting into "nroh!" its so good

What a crazy show! I can only wonder how the author got the idea. I'm sure alcohol was involved. And some deer of course!

But I dare say it's my win, as it's truly hillarious! A very good start!

For the older fans, it's clear that this in inspired by and an homage to the style of the outrageous/absurd anime comedies like Asobi Asobase, Nichijou, Aho Girl

ABEMA early airing, Crunchyroll streams this on Sunday.

Well, from an author like Oshioshio a.k.a Oshio-Mama a.k.a character designer for VTuber Amane Kanata, Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan is the LONG-AWAITED spiritual successor of KyoAni's Nichijou after 13 years. And the OP itself doesn't disappoint, while the ED...is just a goddamn deer showcase of the best of Nara Prefecture, you love to see it.


The school idol of Torako Koshi, who facades as a perfect girl, is in fact a former delinquent...until she meets the deer girl of Noko Shikanoko a.k.a Nokotan knows it all, and will torment her if she does not get down the power lines, electrocuted to death. Sure, Koshi saved her from there, and worst of all, she's in the same class as Torako as a new student, who threatens to expose Koshi as the delinquent...alongside all the other deer CGI, storming the classroom for a first impression that Kimetsu no Yaiba's Muzan Kibutsuji's slow-mo Michael Jackson mooonwalk JUST CAN'T DEFEAT. And just when Torako thought she could talk sense too Nokotan...calling her a delinquent is an absolute no-no.

Koshi is not safe in anyway, having found a tower of deer crackers on her table...and Nokotan drooling from her mouth. And Nokotan trying to break her character this early on, it's so apt lols as Koshi is forced into her bidding in any way, in order not for Nokotan to reveal her acts of delinquency. And when Nokotan tries to clean up an outdoor room by herself, Koshi, more than witnessing her accidental death, helps her out, and their homeroom teacher Ukai...approves their use of a Deer Club. Their comedic duo timing only fuels Koshi's ego so much that she easily becomes the club's president...to take care of her...bringing the attention of a girl's obsession.

We've finally reached PEAK DEER BRAINROT with this show. WHO LET Wit Studio cook from Attack on Titan...to Attack on Deer!?!?

This show would be Anime of the Season contender...NO, ANIME OF THE YEAR contender. Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan~~~
@KANLen09 So actually as I watched this show the first show I thought of was Nichijou. I guess the DNA and/or style of KyoAni definitely shows. This is explain the bizarreness of this show... I was a bit confused but still enjoying it as I had Nichijou.

The strange subtitle quality really dampened my personal enjoyment of this episode, but since I can kind of understand Japanese I was able to just focus on the spoken dialogue instead... Hoping that future episodes don't seem so strange.
