My Deer Friend Nokotan

This show absolutely mind boggling, I couldn't stop laughing through the first episode alone.

You can tell that the creators had the time of their life making this. It's full of references and stupidity, and I love it so much for that.

THIS is why animation was created. Creating flabbergasting stories with little to no realism. It's just so.... FUN! It pure chaos, but the characters have so much charm already.

The animation is bizarre, breaking so many rules of nature, and I'm here for it.

The deer are incredibly out of place 3D models, but it's very obvious that it's intentional. They show the viewer not to take the show too seriously, and it's so nice to be able to not do that once in a while.

Highly recommend. So much fun.

A deer once asked "What is peak?". Another wise deer responded simply "This." When individuals strive to reach higher levels of achievement, we often ask ourselves the question of identity. "Who do I want to be?" It is hard for us humans to gauge our progress unless we compare ourselves to other constants of this world. This show truly emphasizes these questions and reveals that it is in fact the concept of Deer that we humans strive to accomplish in life. While we may be unaware of this secret desire, through community (our own symbolic deer club) we can achieve transcendence beyond our traditional ways of life. From the first "Shika" to the last "nun", this show reminds us of our humanity and the fragility of our ideas of progress in life. "Shikanokonokonokokoshitantan"?

The answer to this statement is: "Yes"

Absurdist comedy about the Deer and her friends in a school, it's just an absurdist comedy that made me laugh once in a while, but the biggest problem is most of the show is just kind of okay. Not terrible, not laughing, just there.

The English dub is surprisingly good and they are pronouncing in funny over the top way, in The Screams are amazing, but it's just the random kind of humour that I cannot get behind most of time once in a while I laugh, most of the time not.

The biggest problem with an absurdist comedy, is after a while it stopped being absurd and just became normal, predictable so after watching 8 episodes. I begin to space out looking at the screen.

I watch it because of the memes on YouTube, and I think will remember that long after the last episode have lift my brain.

When I watched the first episode, this is way too funny but it inspired from any slice-of-life anime like Nichijou, Azumanga Daioh, etc.

The main protagonist is Nokotan, she's just a silly-looking girl with deer antlers but she has a weird humour towards Toshiko that she calls her "delinquent" and she's formerly a Yankee, and she decided to hid her identity as a "honourable school student".

I really love this anime very much because it has a comedic twist but...no Deers harm in that anime!

The opening song is way too addicting, even the verse " Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan" is repeating and dancing. Although, that song is also too brainrot when it comes to watch this one, and for the ending song, a real-life footage set in Japan is to promote Nara Prefecture, which is a home of wild Deers and how Deer crackers are made.

I give this rating a Deer/10.

Japanese humor is a completely mysterious thing, you either end up simply fascinated or you end up wondering what the hell is going on, this anime is somewhere between the two.

Above all, the series does not bring anything new to the formula that we all know, it is always an anime girl combined with some cute animal that can be used for marketing products and as the image of the program, in this case a deer.

The opening is more of the same, people love it because it is incredibly catchy, it is one of those songs that will play in your head until the day you die and you will find videos of Asians dancing to that rhythm for all eternity, there is no escape.

Watch it if it catches your attention and you're bored, but don't expect anything new or fresh, it's ridiculousness at its finest.
