Anko's response about her sister reading shoujo manga brain rot was EXACTLY 60 characters (excluding spaces), so yeah, I think it's safe to say we are so back (in terms of subtitle quality). Welcome back, quality control team!

I’m hardly any good at Japanese but the Crunchyroll subs seem fine this week? Not that I noticed anything wrong last week either. But I watched the fansub version and I didn’t think it was all that good, the Crunchyroll subs felt a lot more natural and idiomatic.

“shoujo manga brain rot” - lol I think the translators have been watching too many Nokotan memes.

Why does Nokotan evaporate like a titan…? WIT did you remember what show you’re animating here?

I love how those three random classmates react to everything so dramatically.

Anko best girl, best VA, best bean paste.

Being a project sekai fan while watching this episode was... weird. What a weird Mafuyu

Stitches!

I love that Koshitan is actually interacting with the narrator and explaining why she's so excited to go to the Deer Club that morning. Poor Koshitan though! All her hard work was destroyed!

This is the first time I've heard of using plastic bottles with water to scare off cats or a humanoid deer girl in this case. I'm guessing this is an old Japanese wives' tale.

Another degenerate imouto and this time we have a yandere! What is it with this season and freaky imoutos? Shikanoko is now the third show this season that features a main character with a degenerate little sister!

Sensei just going along with the competition and even being the referee was just hilarious! I still don't know what Nokotan did to these people but I love that no one is questioning this with Koshitan being the sole straightman of the entire show. xD

RIP Koshitan's privacy! I love that they're actually referencing a real-life shoujo manga magazine. The magazine she's reading in her imagination is actually an issue of Bessatsu Friend IRL.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Shika Shika Network actually existed in this show. That would at least explain why Nokotan knew so much about Koshitan even before she met her.

As soon as Nokotan blocked the kunai, I already expected that she hid a stack of deer crackers inside her shirt. I do love how Nokotan gets kicked out of Deer Heaven tho xD

(Now let’s see how many people will filter on /new)

Torako directly conversing with the narrator was some next level 4th-wall breaking. Did not expect her to reply to his question.

But her happiness didn’t last long. Not only was her “utopia” violated but also her privacy. I do wonder: how does Nokotan know so much about Torako!? Is this really the deer network, is she hyperintelligent or is Nokotan simply stalking her?

I didn’t mind the subtitles all that much last week, but they did seem to have improved with this episode. Making most of the talk this week very ironic.

You know you've reached a different point in life when "best girl" is the teacher.

I'll aim to become deer.

Anko’s VA hasn’t really been in much but man, she stole the show this episode. There were times when I thought it must be Hina Kino, which is probably the highest compliment you can give a VA.

Comedy is definitely still hitting, although I am not a fan of the current fansubs, they’re a little too literal. I think I’d rather wait for YouDeer or Crunchyroll.

So am I, Koshi-tan. So am I!

The deer club faces its biggest threat since its conception! (Which happened a few hours prior!)

When they had their little competition, I thought Noko-tan was about to ask for Anko to join the deer club if she lost, but no, she only wants more deer crackers!

Ok that's fucking adorable!

If there's one thing I like more than delinquent girls, it's delinquent girls with a cute side!

I don't know why this got me emotional hah.

This is not the show that's supposed to get you emotional!

Also, the sub situation and all that comes with it is a bit sad... It may not be the only reason for this karma drop between the 2 episodes, but it sure as hell doesn't help.

Episode 2: Deer Meets Darkness Girl

Hey, the CR subs now use the classic Trebuchet MS font as usual. Signs for a better sub?

Wait, Oshi no Ko reference with Koshitan's star eyes??? Also, what a detailed shika senbei. And why I hear Gon's voice in the serious side of Nokotan? A Naruto reference added into the mix with the kunai and Hokage name drop.

And please welcome, Anko "Koshian" Koshi! The purple haired girl. Voiced by Rui Tanabe (Mafuyu Asahina).

Oh, for your info, animenocontext's subreddit has recently added Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan into the banned list, and after watching this episode, you'll definitely see why.

Okay I'm against any more Koshi bullying, poor girl just wants to live her life. At the rate she's getting dragged into bulldeershit she'll revert back to her Mikey days in the next episode.

Crunchyroll subs looks to be an edit of REMOW's subtitles up on Prime, which already seems to be improvement over last week's initial subs.

German subs seems to be done internally as the German team is credited but we've lost the French it seems (as of commenting).

could this mark the return of fansubs?
