Very good episode, exactly what I wanted them to do... raise the level of surrealism haha
Anko loves her sister too much haha ​​and I love that it's full of references that I'm sure I didn't understand or see but I know they're there
For example: They said Hokage, Shikanoko Jojo's mode, Anko's eyes may be another reference, etc.
I also really like that they constantly make fun of the "typical" moments that happen in anime

PS: What a good anime to laugh for a while

I'm on the fence on this one. I definitely liked this episode more than the first. Jojo Nokotan was the first genuine laugh I've had so far and I really liked the first 10-12 mins. Unfortunately the introduction of the siscon character kinda derailed it for me and I found myself just as unamused as episode 1 in the 2nd half. I'll give this one more episode to win me over I guess.

The privacy-disrespect gameshow set my teeth on edge.

I didn't laugh nearly as much as I did for the last episode either. I really laughed hard at the last one. Here's hoping for more fever dream humor and less cringe humor next time.

What an absolute pleasure and gem of a show.

Laughed even more on this episode.. I couldn't stop smiling! Really loving all the cute animations and excellent voice acting. I knew Han Megumi would be perfect for the role as the deer girl, but everyone else is really killing it too; the voice acting and humor is just perfect across the board. Episode direction and script is tops too.

Only two episodes in and this show already has me feeling like I'm taking crazy pills. Everybody won't stop talking about how insanely funny they think this show is, and I just don't see it. The humor is often just an inferior version of stuff found in Nichijou, D-Frag, and other (better) absurdist/tsukkomi shows. The "shika" chanting/singing is genuinely annoying. The 3D deer are cheap lol-so-randumb humor. The 4th wall and announcer humor aren't great. This show seems to treat its viewers like they're dumb children, or at least that's how it feels to me. They also have their obligatory 1 or 2 animation sequences per episode that are blatantly meant for farming clips on youtube and social media.

People will say "oh but comedy is subjective", and yeah obviously. But I think there's something to be said when you can literally point to where and how half a dozen other shows did the same type of jokes but better through proper setup, timing, execution, and more. And on the subjective level, I loved the aforementioned shows. I sat through D-Frag, Asobi Asobase, etc with a shit eating grin for practically the entire runtime. For the entirety of the first two episodes of Shikanoko, I never so much as smirked.

Maybe I'm just giving it a hard time because of how much people kept glazing it before I got a chance to watch it, idk.

Indeed it is!

Of all the Christian hymns, this show had to pick the same song that played during the sinking of the Titanic....



Now I can never unhear the "Shika Shika Shika" version of this song ever again. 🙃

It would be way funnier if Torako stops over-explaining every single moments 🙃.
Just let viewers comprehend themselves.

I really liked the joke with the deers and computers (idk if this is a spoiler) overall def better than last episode, but the death joke was dragged a little too long for my liking, might be a nitpick, regardless I really liked this episode.

Those Shika songs are great, might get old after a while though. Episode was good, but not as funny as the first one. I somehow expected the other two girls from the opening to be deers as well.

Anko is a wonderful addition to this anime her sister complex doesn’t piss me off for some reason like how it’s pissing some of you I mean i find it somewhat cute and her antics are funny to me haha she’s such a character man😭😭🤣🤣

Man they really violated Koshi’s privacy man all for nothing man haha they even “got footage” of her in her bra too which idk how they even got said footage hahaha🤣🤣

The deer god had me fucked up I was like WTF AM I WATCHING??? So theres Deer heaven with its own Deer God and the Deer’s have their own network called SSN the Shika Shika Network which is fucking HILAROUS I wanna know more about the lore of this world it’s so intriguing🤩

@Ofenfrische tbh for random bs this was way too predictible. It was obvious that the club room would be vandalized, it was obvious that Shikanoko would totally fall to the cracker trap, it was obvious that yandere sis would accept Shikanoko after she sacrificed herself, pretended to die, but actually be unharmed. Etc etc etc. Not a position you'd like to be in with random comedy.

Anyway, I'll proceed to future episodes drunk because this anime feels it's ment to be watched high


I feel like that too... there's too many moments on this episode where the outcome was predictable moments before happening...

don't know if is the timming or whatever... but this feel weird for a nonsense comedy show... I want to be shocked at a completely random unexcpected bs (first episode was better at this)

also, I was already expecting Nokotan to be saved by a senbei, but thought she would simply randomly have one with her, but they actually gave a logical explanation to why she had one, and Idk why, but feel even weirder

that was a machine gun of tropes right from the get go, and I guess we now know how nokotan never die

also anyone else immediately noticed that Anko wears an elementary school uniform?

Thought they were going to actually fight and that the budget would be absolutely blown like a dragon-maid fight that came out of nowhere, but the 'quiz' that we got was even better. At the end of the day, both contestants won, but Koshitan lost. RIP

Hmmm...

This feels like a anime that you watch when you have nothing else to watch, LOL.

Think I'll come back to this later (still gotta catch up with bunch of other series)

.

The little sister was interesting, but a bit TOO try-hard Sis-con

And... if the little sis knew her onee-chan was setting up the club... if she was a true sis-con, she wouldn't destroy anything belonging to her big sis.

Yeah, I was expecting the club room to get trashed. Not expecting it wasn't Nokotan, though.

"It looks like the crackers protected me." Growing up Christian, I remember constantly hearing stories of soldiers or whatever surviving gunshots 'cause they had Bibles in their pockets.

Another wild ride of an episode, lol. And nice to see this anime has some sort of plot, but minimal.

"In the end, Koshitan still had no idea what was going on." Yeah, same.
