Mixed Feelings
I had a great time following the meme, the "SHIKANOKO IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA" meme mindset, but in all honesty, this is a hard 7/10 for me, because most of the jokes aren't funny, and that's a problem, I'm not saying that this show wasn't fun, but that there are many, many times were it's comedy just doesn't click (like for example the entirety of ep2 that to this day I'm trying to forget).
As a short example, episode 12 proves it: it abruptly ends, with a bad joke, the 1st half was literally repeating the same joke over and over, gets old, and the FUNNY point was having a lot of REAL japanese mascots that only japanese people will recognize which makes the jokes really boring for the rest of us (I talk more about this later).

I adore random comedy animes, but for this one I expected way more.
Still, I want a 2nd season, I want more, I'll miss Shikanoko, it's funny opening, and all of it's characters (NEKOYAMADA MY BELOVED), with the exception of their teacher, she sucks ass.

I want to point something else, I gave it a 7, but now I feel kinda bad that it wasn't an 8, because thinking about it, you can FEEL that the staff and the seiyuus had a GOOD TIME, like damn, just look at the publicity, look at the VA cast, hear the voices of the characters, the many funny songs, there is no way they didn't feel joy while making this... but still, it's really not that fun to watch, again, the jokes man, most of them are so baaad, the writing staff was clearly struggling to come up with fun stuff that EVERYONE can enjoy, and I say EVERYONE because one thing that makes the jokes feel bad is that many of them are only for japanese audiences, and that's fine, it's made for them after all, but they know that anime is watched all around the world nowadays, and they knew they had gold in their hands with how crazy the opening song alone exploded on social media worldwide, so it was really dissapointing...

Oh, yeah, another part that I dislike a lot is when animes break the 4th wall so much to troll their audiences, like for example, they show you something interesting or actually plot-relevant and then proceed to literally say something like "this is just a comedy anime so that stuff doesn't matter!", and they do that in this show, twice, f-ck them.

If you are into comedy anime, that goes heavy on the random stuff and CGDCT, you will have a good time, maybe not love it, but a good time.
If you don't like or care about what I just say, STAY AWY.

PD: sorry for my bad english.
