I watched this because the shikanoko song was catchy and I like comedy. But I watched a few episodes and I didn't laugh a single time. Maybe a few smiles here and there. Like I get some of the jokes but they just weren't funny enough. Does anyone think this show is funny? Or is it just more of like a silly slice of life with a deer girl

It’s not as good as I was expecting. But it’s fun, there’s a lot of shows which made me laugh more

Yes I find it pretty funny, it's one of those shows where you can just turn off your brain, and it has a lot of references from another animes/manga and games

It’s funny because it’s dumb, it’s dumb because it’s funny. Best watched after a beverage or three.

it's very funny. If you don't find it funny. I honestly don't know what to say or think of you but it's subjective so yeah.

Like someone above said, humor is subjective. It's as simple as that. As for me, the anime exceeded my expectations. It's peak brainrot and I find it funny. One anime I look forward to every Saturday and Sunday.

yeah, only the memes are worth anything, the show itself is very much below average, even for slapstick comedy

The manga is funnier based on the chapters I’ve read versus the 3 episodes I’ve watched. It seems like some scenes are dragging in order to accommodate the 20 min run time, but in turn it makes the jokes overstay their welcome

Yeah, I won't lie, I'm not finding it as fun as I tought.
I know comedy is subjective but I think some jokes are already getting old.
The first episode was fine, the second... heh, I didn't really find it funny.
But maybe it will get better, who knows.

summary: it's brainrot

good or bad it's still brainrot lmao, though I don't mind it that much I still don't think I would be able to watch more than 1 episode in a row

well it did make me laugh at times but most of the time I'm kinda just questioning what am I watching (not necessarily in a bad way just yknow its ??????)

Mega funny but doesn’t stand up to close scrutiny. Not meant to. People who ‘take comedy seriously’(?!?) seem to have a problem with it…

i do like this type of comedy in anime, but I think shikanoko noko does too much. Every sentence they speak is abnormal and comical. It could be like that because of the anime's nature, but you get tired of it eventually.

Most comedy anime are not funny for me but this one is. I've tried watching gintama, nichijou, azumanga daioh, asobi asobase, they were all cringe and unfunny. Humour is subjective I guess

I see it as a fun chill watch, nothing to think about too much. It makes me laugh and relax after a long day, which is what I think the shows goal was.

Oh and love some of that meme material.

that's what it is for me, the same as somebody else said also, as something you can just switch off your brain and enjoy stuff

Exactly.

Comedy is generally just meant to live up to that. To just make the viewer relax and smile, hopefully laugh. Which I would say the show lives up to.

The term brainrot is so overrated man... just say its japanese comedy on par with nichijou and call it a day.

humor is subjective but I've seen a lot of gen z complaining about lack of references. I just assume they need to see a meme every 5 seconds or else they get bored.

Even Japanese viewers think it could be funny only if you turn your brain off.

I agree it's not funny, My Wife has no Emotion is the funniest anime of the season.

However, I don't expect to laugh when I watch a comedy anime since it's something extremely rare, I just want to enjoy it as a slice of life with quirky characters (and here aside from Anko they're all good). That's how I managed to watch 300ish episodes of Gintama without laughing once.

I find it funny, if you don't find it enjoyable just... bugger off?

Like no one is forcing you to watch anything

There's this neato little X in the corner of your screen, click that and bam! it's gone!

Magic!

this anime starts stupid and goes on stupid, not many people can stand brain dead humour like this. there are good moments, but I admit it's a bit embarrassing a lot of the time.

It's defintely not laugh out loud funny. People like to compare it to Nichijou but Nichijou was actually funny, this is more like Lucky Star.

For me personally, I didn't think it was as funny as nichijou like people said it was. It was funny but not the rolling on the floor level of comedy nichijou was. Though if people think it's funny then that's fine, comedy is subjective after all.

Personally I think it's fine and enjoyable as long as people watch one episode a week. Binge watching it would make it boring really fast.

I think Torako carries the show on her back. She ist definitly the funniest character of the show. The deer girl Nokotan isnt that funny and a bit annoying tbh.

The trailer is better than the show.
It was more 'chaotic' which would fit this style of comedy better imo
