With My Deer Friend Nokotan, get ready for even more strange entertainment! The premiere was as wild as everyone claimed it would be, and episode 2 is scheduled to start exactly where it left off. Let's dig right into the specifics!
My Deer Friend Nokotan's second episode will show on Sunday, July 14th! The precise dates are:
08:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Eastern Standard Time (EST) at 11:00 AM
4:00 PMBritish Standard Time (BST)
Both Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime have the episode available.
"Girl Meets Deer," the first episode, opens Torako Koshi, a former delinquent now striving to be the ideal honor student. When she meets Nokotan, a new student with antlers growing from her head, her well crafted image is thrown off. As it happens, Nokotan has a unique ability: she can smell secrets, which makes Torako's attempts to hide her criminal past impossible.
Arriving Nokotan is anything from usual, and she causes havoc right away. Apart from Torako, none else seems to notice anything unusual about her among the turmoil. Nokotan tells Torako her horns can also sense whether someone is a virgin, so embarrassing Torako when she sits next to her.
Torako faces one unusual circumstance after another even if everyone conveniently forgets about her confession. Nokotan even establishes the "Deer Club," devoted to self-care, and Torako, always the one unable to say no to those in need, ends up serving as president. Torako brushing Nokotan's hair at the end of the episode leaves another student green with jealously. For Torako, the narrator warns, this marks trouble.
Though it doesn't stop there, my Deer Friend Nokotan embraces surrealism. It combines that unusual mix of weirdness with excellent comedic writing and a fantastic dynamic between Torako and Nokotan to give the show a special taste guaranteed to make you laugh.
With incredible animation, direction, and a great sense of comic timing, Episode 1 is a visual feast. That the show is already attracting a lot of attention is not surprising. Nonetheless, the episode's subtitling had some problems; grammatical mistakes and several mistranslations abound. With future episodes hopefully, this will be covered.
In the realm of anime, my Deer Friend Nokotan is a breath of fresh air. If not already, view the first episode! And, don't miss the second episode scheduled for Sunday, July 14th. Prepare for more funny events, touching friendships, and an original brand of surrealism that will keep you occupied.
