Shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan

This Anime will change your life beyond your understanding, its main goal was to be a comedy anime with a lot of other anime's references, and well, it reached its goal way better then expected. Recomand it.to watch it with the entire family and friends (if you have)or just spam them with memes/ gifs of the show, its one in a lifetime chance to watch such a peak brainrot anime that breaks the 4th wall so easily compared to other animes. Overall best anime ever made besides Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, Highschool DxD(stil waiting for the fifth season), Redo of Healer(where is season 2) and Evangelion.

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.

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.

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"

Many have praised this comedy slice-of-life series for exploring profound emotional themes, as any good slice-of-life should. However, after 12 episodes, I struggle to find that "profound emotional exploration." The characters lack depth and personality, and there's no meaningful emotional connection between them. They remain little more than acquaintances, with minimal interaction throughout the show.

Some have compared it to Nichijou, but I don't see the resemblance. Nichijou crafts absurd and hilarious scenarios through hyperbolization, starting with situations that make sense. In contrast, Shikanoko Noko Noko Noko Koshi Tan Tan is just random nonsense stacked on more random nonsense. While it is funny at times, it lacks the structure that makes a slice-of-life series truly engaging.

The humor does manage to make me chuckle here and there, but it quickly becomes repetitive and loses its charm. Beyond its comedic moments, it doesn't have much else to offer.

It really makes me feel like the author made a deal with the devil to make it popular or something because I really do not see why every one likes it so much. (And this is coming from an all time slice-of-life lover)
