    Peak Brainrot

    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.

    The most comedic and deerserved anime that I've watched

    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.

    My Deer Friend Nokotan

    Torako Koshi used to be a delinquent but she is determined to put that behind her and is now one of the most admired girls in her school. Her life is about to become somewhat chaotic though. One day she meets Noko Shikanoko... a sika deer with an almost human appearance. Noko looks like an ordinary girl apart from the fact that she has antlers! Soon they have formed the 'Deer Club' and things get even stranger.

    Every so often an anime comes along that makes the viewer wonder of the creators 'what were they on'!? This is one of those shoes; utterly bonkers but also hilarious. I'm not surprised that previous reviewers either thought it was great or terrible rather than 'it was okay' as humour like this is highly subjective and neither view is wrong. Personally I loved the characters and thought every episode delivered plenty of laughs in a genuinely surreal manner. The character designs are good as is the animation. I really liked the contrast between the standard anime human characters, including Noko, and the more realistic looking deer that occasionally appeared, usually accompanied by the chanting of the work 'sika'. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to fans of more bizarre anime comedies.

    These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

    I'm losing brain cells in here!

    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.

    Sometimes the memes are too powerful.

    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.
