[Spoilers] My Deer Friend Nokotan - Episode 1 Discussion
The casual pan of the camera.
Lmao.
The blood gushing!
SHIKA! SHIKA! SHIKA!
i'm a sucker for this type of comedy so i really enjoyed the first episode, definitely something I'll enjoy this season
Same. The more absurd, the better.
Same. I like shows like Gabriel Dropout and Jahy will not be defeated, which this reminds me of.
What streaming service has the rights?
Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime it seems, but it's not out in English yet. There was a Japanese pre-release today, but the English release will come in 4 days (on the 7th). It seems like it's gonna continue this way, with a 4 day delay between English and Japanese
Ahhh... Thanks for the info. I'll just wait it out.
And I'm looking for the episode everywhere... It makes sense now.
It seemed strange to me that it was released on the same day as Oshi no Ko and Roshidere, because I remembered seeing that its premiere was days after these two.
Sometimes these pages, instead of helping, confuse me even more.
bruh... why are they doing that
Why not? It releases on Abema (a Japanese streaming service) every Wednesday, and then on Japanese television every Sunday. English publishers usually take the TV broadcast as their source, so the English release also comes every Sunday. Pretty much the same thing happens to movies if you think about it, they release in cinemas, and only later come to streaming services.
Usually the english release are at the same time as the streaming release in japan when it gets released before in streaming platform in japan. For example My Wife Has No Emotion, of this season, is being aired a few days earlier in streaming platforms including crunchyroll, than the TV release
Its on a japanese streaming service called Abema. I think you at least need a VPN to watch it. Also the entire site is in japanese. Also no subtitles yet.
I watched it together with a japanese friend on discord so I am not even 100% sure how to the site works.
Can mods make it so that the timer for the episode coming out shows the actual air time and not the pre release on Abema?

TL;DR: No, the listed airing time is correct. It's not a "pre release" but just airing earlier.
I believe only the first episode has an earlier release on abema, no?
The timer will now ”show the actual air time” :)
https://x.com/air_news01/status/1820990526277251197Crunchyroll's simulcast of "My Deer Friend Nokotan" is moving up to Wednesdays at 7:30am PT (14:30 UTC) starting with episode 6 tomorrow.
You know an anime is peak when the character breaks the 4th wall in the first minute
thats what im sayin
Takeaways from this episode:
-The trailers did not oversell the insanity
-The OP slaps so hard
-Having random CGI deer in the background of a scene does in fact make it funnier
-Torako is kinda gay...(this is a good thing)Top 3 anime of the season for sure
I can't exactly tell whether the use of blatantly suspect CGI technique is playing into the absurd nature of the content, or if it's genually being used in-place of hand animating the deer for whatever reason. I'm sure it's probably a bit of both.
Otherwise, —peak OP, peak ED, peak random nonsense—, everything peaked.
I strongly believe it's just that they try to make it feel strongly out of place, so first opinion what you guessed.
Similar thing was done in Kizumonogatari I movie when Araraki went to underground and met Kisshot. There was real video and 3D mixed heavily to push feeling "This is off for some reason"
If it would have been cost cutting reason then they wouldn't have animated so well those deers. They are actually animated much better than some characters in full 3D anime what I have seen.
Cuter than I expected it to be. Normally I don't like tsunderes but the whole light tsundere ex-yankee deer yuribait angle is pretty nice. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
I was wondering why everyone started placing this show as watched this early, but knowing now that ABEMA is airing this four days ahead of the TV broadcast/CR's simulcast, I had to jump on the hype train right away. Luckily, I was able to preview the OP and ED from TWIN ENGINE's YouTube channel, and they're complete bangers in their own rights. I'll link these here for posterity in case you didn't get them in your recommendations:
Just like how the PVs made them out to be, the OP 「シカ色デイズ」 is just full of wacky visuals to the tune of a catchy upbeat song. Not only that, but having the characters jump in the opening (thanks Ryo-senpai) and a Dark Souls reference which are both currently being memed on at Reddit assures that the brainrot is real it's befitting of a show like this. As for the ED 「シカせんべいのうた」, the song is befittingly accompanied by just a sequence of workers making deer senbei along with, you guessed it, more deer. I can only hope that this show will probably boost tourism to Nara.
Even though I relied on lower-quality subs to understand what happened, this first episode came out swinging, particularly with the various fourth wall breaks, the random times the narrator speaks, and how there's casually a male chorus chanting "しか". The continual juxtaposition between serious and stupid scenes are pretty well done, and I still love how this anime decided to use CGI deer in pretty much any place they can. It's just that blend of incorporating fluid CGI motion into animated panels feels dumb but somewhat refreshing to have something out of the ordinary. Honestly, I like where this is going.
Also, I kinda like these eye catches
a decent first episode, I really liked the references!
Tokyo Revengers
Doki Doki Literature ClubIf you found more of these let me know
your images are broken, also I'm pretty sure there is a reference to FLCL when they run in the hall and their legs turn into spirals the same way as FLCL's (this same scene has been referenced in Bocchi the Rock
On both scene when Koshi see Noko “hanging” on the electric pole and lying on the storage room, she blurts out two specific names, Conan and Hajime. Both are the protagonists in a famous detective manga.
Fun fact: Koshi mentions how ridiculous it is to see people hang themselves in the first episode of the anime (although Noko clearly didn’t). This oddly specific event actually happened before, not sure if it’s a sneaky reference or not
Enough time has passed
most comedy anime's ive tried dont make me giggle but this one def takes the cake for the humor. absurd but not in a way that doesnt make sense. love this scene esp
Peak
It's the most peak deer anime of all.
- Does anyone get the Dark Souls reference in the OP?
- I love how the CGI deer are hanging out in the most craziest scenes.
- Nokotan's drooling might be the best food overreaction in seen in an anime.
- Why does the ED remind me of the eyecatches in Kemono Friends?
First episode….
Nokotan and Koshi’s dynamic is not only funny but very cute.
The references to other popular manga series was genius.
OP is already a banger but whoever made the ED into a song about deer crackers needs a raise, sensational.WIT will have a heavy AOTY contender if it continues to do well throughout the season.
The scriptwriters, and directors of this entire show must be smoking crack in order to craft something so chaotic yet charming at the same time.
Didn't get a single laugh out of me in the 1st episode... not a good sign for what's to follow.
So many people saying it's fun
It just sucks, trying to use this type of comedy
Well.. I don't know what to say except, comedy is subjective? It's fine to not align with the comedy, but clearly the type of comedy speaks to a lot of people, hence why they say it's funny.
Good for them
I have a question:
DA F**K DID I JUST WATCH?! o_O
The show is absolutely insane, and I'm all for it. I couldn't stop laughing for half the runtime.
PS. Is anyone else getting Totoro vibes from that ed?
