Well, from an author like Oshioshio a.k.a Oshio-Mama a.k.a character designer for VTuber Amane Kanata, Shikanoko Nokonoko Kosh*tantan is the LONG-AWAITED spiritual successor of KyoAni's Nichijou after 13 years. And the OP itself doesn't disappoint, while the ED...is just a goddamn deer showcase lols, you love to see it.
The class hottie of Torako Koshi, who facades as a delinquent, the deer girl of Noko Shikanoko a.k.a Nokotan knows it all. And worst of all, she's in the same class as Torako as a new student, who threatens to expose Torako as the delinquent...alongside all the other deer CGI.
And whatever Nokotan does, she always does it to an insane degree, always freaking Torako out, even byy faking her deaths in the illusiveness of all the deer raging CGI. If Nokotan is not enough, her mother is just as equally crazy, like mother, like daughter. The formation of a club...the Deer Club, Torako has no chance but to condede defeat, being in her care.
We've finally reached PEAK DEER BRAINROT with this show. WHO LET Wit Studio cook from Attack on Titan...to Attack on Deer!?!?
This show would be Anime of the Season contender...NO, ANIME OF THE YEAR contender. Shikanoko Nokonoko Kosh*tantan~~~

Back in 2011 one of the biggest studios at the time, KyoAni, decided to pick up a little show named Nichijou, to which is to this day helmed as one hell of a brainrot show. Fast foward a decade later, and now in 2024, one of the biggest studios at this time, WIT Studio, is here to bring us the PEAK brainrot for this decade. SHIKANOKO NOKONOKO KOsh*tANTAN!!!!!!
Shika-bu's OP is OP of the year, no other way around it. SHIKANOKO NOKONOKO KOsh*tANTAN!!!!!!!!
Torako Koushi, a popular high school girl hiding her past as a violent delinquent, rescues a strange deer-girl hanging from power lines on her way to school. The girl, Nokotan, transfers to her school and starts causing chaos with her bizarre antics. Nokotan's deer nose can sniff out Koushi's secret past, threatening to expose her. Koushi is the only one who notices anything odd about Nokotan, leaving her to wonder: Is Nokotan a deer, a girl, or something in-between?
Narrator already is the goat, the way he said that PERRRFECT GIRL, phenomenal. Also, did the snot noises really need to be as loud as they were... lol. OST did not need to be as banging as it was when the goat Nokotan was walking into the class. Then the SAME OST for the reveal that Koushi is a yankee, the MOST OVERDRAMTIC SCENE EVER LMAOOOO. Then she gets embarrassed into admitting she's a virgin... lols. Real goats of this series are going to be those background deer's, I can tell. This OST is so unserious, like she's bleeding like hell and the most angelic OST is playing... okay lmao.
The Deer Club has officially been formed! And it seems like we have someone out for our girl Nokotan.
BEST PREMIRE OF THE SEASON THUS FAR, NO DOUBT IT. ANIME OF THE SEASON, ANIME OF THE YEAR, ANIME OF THE DECADE. SHIKANOKO NOKONOKO KOsh*tANTAN!!!!!!

I think we’re all here because the song is stuck in our heads, brilliant PR, but the show looks fun as well. Nice first episode, comedy landed, girls are cute as hell and it’s a chill vibe. Sign me up. I now want to have sex with a deer

I want to make memes about this but god I can't stand shows and humor like this. Comedy is very, very subjective so can understand why this works but this is as unfunny if not worse than the days of Pop Team Epic in the past, and I'm quite older than compared to when I first saw that seasonal. This was more painful than fun to watch sadly, and to be fair, I even got annoyed in a couple seconds compared to the brainrot catchy effect that I've heard some others experience personally with the theme looped. The opening, the looped song, the ending, the overall humor in this series, this is one of the unfunniest comedy episodes I have seen in a long, long time. Considering I absolutely hate shows like Nichijou and Lucky Star, this belongs in that realm and the opinions aren't any more positive than my extremely low feelings of those. Can easily seeing this being one of the worst anime of the year for me just from this episode alone. At least WIT are committed to this and it should be marketing gold to still thrive I guess, just not a fan of any of it sadly.

It's fine to dislike absurdist humor, don't fret about it.
Just skip over and watch something else.
This show is an absolute blast for me, and Nichijou is one of my favorite comedy shows of all time.
Sure, it can get annoying sometimes, but this kind of comedy is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable and laugh out loud to dissipate the cringe.
That kind of humor can be very stimulating, you know.

Dry humour, not really entertaining to watch for 1st episode. Are we sure they didn't accidentally swap marketing team staff and main animator staff?

This is very reminiscient of Kill Me Baby, Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, Pop Team Epic, and Nichijou in terms of slapstick humor, and uhhh, yea, I'm not all a fan of such sorts of presentation, tbh, though at least the production quality is probably the best thing Wit Studio has had in a while...which is pretty funny and sad at the same time considering the controversy in regards to the One Piece "remake" they're also set on making.

Read a bit of the manga and it only confirms my thoughts. The deer jokes get a bit too repetitive. still a good anime to relax to I guess and Wit are doing a great job to enhance the humour with the real life deers and soundrack. but it's not the peak comedy anime we thought we would get.

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 and the random times the narrator speaks. 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.

Causes of this scene:
-Nokotan: Jump everyone, I'll take care of everything.
-Kosh*tan: Eh, I don't think it's too good.
-Nokotan: It's okay, I know this height is nothing compared to you.
-Kosh*tan: Ok, so count 1,2,3, then everyone jump down.
-1...2....3

as someone who enjoys shows with absurdist humor (nichijou is my favorite comedy and i found train to the end of the world from last season to be pretty funny as well), this first episode was... underwhelming? the appeal of absurdist humor is very very reliant on the unpredictability of both the punchline and the setup. i can already feel the whole deer joke getting overplayed, so there's a punchline that gets predictable pretty much out the gate. also, the delivery on most of the jokes just didn't hit the mark in some way or another. i probably laughed twice the whole episode, and i can't lie i was expecting more. the marketing for this anime was very good though, so i'm sure it'll continue to be talked about for a while. still willing to give this some more episodes.

1st episode was underwhelming when compared with the trailer. Animation is nice and all, but the jokes just didn't land for me. I'll stick with this show to the end tho.

Can't judge how funny this is until we get proper subtitles, but it sure looked funny. The only subtitles out are garbage mtl so I'd say to wait till the 7th for Crunchyroll.

I don’t get why it’s a crime to you guys if someone shares a a completely valid negative opinion of an anime you like. Who gives if they didn’t like a completely unrelated anime in the past. They wanted to try watching this and didn’t enjoy it. No need to bitch at them.
