The show attracted a lot of attention even before it premiered, and it’s easy to see why. Compared to fellow directors of his generation, Maximino’s directorial debut in animation was a bold choice. Not only does the live-action contrast with the traditional animated series, but the theme of the Vietnam War is also provocative in this context because:
Uh-huh, sorry. I just got a sulfurous message from an editor that’s burning on my floor, notifying me that I’m due for a review My deer friend Nokotan This season, no deer hunter. I think we can all agree that it’s easy to make mistakes like this. Hey, she forgave me that time I spelled the hero’s name wrong in one of my movies Bee Rabbit comments, so I should be fine. Anyway!
*ahem*
deer.
What is it about these creatures that forces human creativity to become so bizarre and exaggerated? Is it their humble, omnipresent status as stately steeds of the forest (are they steeds?)? Is this mediocre like a movie? Bambi Will this invite so-called comedy creators to reimagine animals as arbiters of naked chaos? This can be seen in many media outlets. Perseverance DEEEER emulator. that episode Regular performances and the odd deer. that episode adventure time That also There Was a Strange Deer, aired less than a month ago Regular performances episode. Isn’t there a clearer way to do comedy than to do Strange With these giant antlered beasts? perhaps.
animated adaptation Oshitideof a big deer Noblely seeks to answer all these questions and more. how As with all literature, its answers to these questions depend on the viewer’s interpretation. It’s up to us to decide whether the titular Nokotan is as much a force of chaos as her fictional fawn brother. Compared to the reset personality wheel of her apparent lover Koshi or the psychotic sister Anko introduced in the second episode, Nokotan is arguably normal. She just wants to eat deer cookies and occupy the deer club. and removes dinner from her removable antlers. and often jokes about being unable to walk through doors because of her antlers, although she later remembers to turn sideways in the first episode, which is honestly a smarter evolution of the joke. So why did Nokotan have this problem again in the second episode? Is she a fool?
The depths of Nogudan inspired me to analyze further. Only through in-depth and detailed analysis Symbolism Can I deduce its true meaning? Well, the reason the curtains in the Deer Club room are pink is—
Okay, let’s take a look, given that there are kind of This is a real show and I thought I had to review it My deer friend Nokotan For real people, at least a little bit each week, lest my editor puts a hex on me. In fact, this series, despite the hype it creates would like to lead you to believe, is not the second coming of the dumpster Jesus, and therefore requires a comprehensive Avant-garde Comments like, say, pop team epic. I reviewed three seasons and one OVA for Kick the devil out of me!for the lion god, That The show ultimately elevated itself to this experience.
The thing is, if you can allow yourself to relax and enjoy My deer friend Nokotan, which is still a very funny little comedy. I’ve counted the number of “poofs” I’ve made in each of these two episodes so far. The first one is definitely stronger, if only for the surprise of some of the punchlines that make them more worth watching. The series occasionally makes her cringe by reminding her of her virginity before it starts to lose its ridiculous luster. That said, Koshitan is hands down my favorite part of the show anyway. In the middle of the second episode, I momentarily wondered if this girl was really worthy of being fought over by two other girls, one a deer and the other whose sister seemed to want to do a full Folgers commercial with her. But then I had to remind myself that Koshi was once a badass who turned into someone who got easily flustered and constantly had the student council president, so the answer is yes, she’s perfect.
Honestly, the biggest problem with the show is that the humor is spotty and there isn’t enough in each volume to cover up the weak parts. That’s why something like this airplane! Work – you have to move fast. My deer friend Nokotan Nice to deploy a tired old man Tomorrow’s Joe ref, it should be better than it is, and then stay on it for a few minutes before telling a funnier joke about “Shika Shika Network” (SSN). At least I can confirm that the rumors that the subtitles for this show were done by AI are extremely exaggerated. The second episode’s subtitles read more smoothly than the first, with fewer typos and spacing errors, and even some superlative adaptations, such as using the correct number of characters in Anko’s quiz answers. So, at least hopefully no deer droppings will be left behind during the rest of the proceedings.
You know, I was originally going to mention “Deer God” in passing, but then this anime actually contains a Deer God. I don’t know if I should praise the show for being as smart as me, or insult it for being as stupid as me.
Well, that should be enough to keep me from turning into a salamander for at least a week.

Chris doesn’t want to burn any decent deer puns in the footer in case he needs to use them in reviews in the coming weeks. If you’re really craving any extra silliness, why not check out his Twitter Or his blog? I think I saw some jokes there that day.
