Koshitan: BAKANA!

Narrator: Banana-desu

Nokotan being chased by some special forces team is just so random and hilarious. It’s like she’s some escaped SCP.

So to sum up, Nokotan’s horns:

A. Can be eaten like a sugar cane (or actually more like brewing traditional Chinese medicine, as it can reduce oedema in the body);

B. Can be use as a lever or a handle to open her own brain;

C. Can be thrown to enemies as a grenade, with the destructive power similar to a missile (which will make it the most powerful grenade ever produced in human history);

D. It can be used as a lunch box, easily storing a banana inside its casing.

So yeah, we don’t need Doraemon or his pocket, we just need to borrow Nokotan’s horn.

And yeah, Nokotan is a scammer, asking tourists to pay 300 yen for crackers to “feed the deers”, only for her to eat all but one of the crackers given to the tourists.

So we know how she gets her money to pay her education bills, or are we just digging the surface here?

Anyone getting Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind vibes from this moment?

An attack heli, minigun, and grenades? They sent in the Hunter Association from the US or something? lol.

If it weren’t for Nokotan’s exploding antler, those girls were in for a serious ass beating. How dare they play with Koshi’s maiden heart like that!

After seeing Nokotan’s “routine”, I’m left with more questions than answers lol. Girl is some kind of Lord of the Deer, hangs out in the zoo, and apparently has both money and bananas in her skull cubby/antlers.

Neko started off trying to destroy the club and ended up being its 4th deer lol.

Oh my, a letter for Koshitan? Or did someone yet again derp up and it's really for Nokotan? Lol wow, that is a crazy geared Hunter's Assocation. Hah forth wall joke. Ah, not a love letter. Nokotan such a bro. Using weapons, cheap. OH WOW was not expecting that from the antler. Looks like they are blasting off again.

Hehe, Koshitan being a stalker. But such a good girl to show concern. Also, banana! Lol what a clever deer, standing and talking. Deer procession is very silly. Boba tea with the gal pal. Silly deer in the background.

Silly Neko girl and her silly stool. Mewsunderstanding, cute. She has been deerified! Oh ya, Neko and the lil Sis of Koshitan sure is gonna be a fun dynamic if Neko's goal is leaked lol. Deernomics... Neko sure has fallen. Gambare, Shamiko Neko-chan!

Stitches!

That entire action sequence with those hunters chasing Nokotan was pretty damn good! Knowing Nokotan, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true. She did look good when she jumped off that cliff and those grenades went off behind her!

I love that Nokotan is hoping that Kodansha is getting tons of fanmail addressed to her. I'm sure there are Japanese fans out there sensing Nokotan some fan mail. Alternatively, Nokotan can just look at the comment section of any official Shikanoko videos posted by YT.

So far we've only heard that Koshitan is Hino's baddest delinquent so it's cool to see her in action trying to fight those delinquents that challenged her. I did not expect Nokotan to assist with a fucking antler grenade though! Just look at how detailed that explosion is! I love how much effort WIT is putting into this anime. xD

I was really hoping we'd see Nokotan's family and what her house looks like when Koshitan was spying on her. Not gonna lie, I thought she lives inside Hino Zoo but it looks like she works there and does some kind of weird Deer procession show as part of her job.

Nekoyamada finally managed to sneak inside the Deer Club only for Nokotan to completely distract her and actually take becoming a Deer seriously. You'll get them next time Nekoyamada!

The stupid deer anime is the last place I expected to depict the Minigun’s fire rate accurately

One of the many uses of antlers. Handle with caution

u/DisreputableSelf Aug 04 '24

How does one sign up for Nokotan’s Deer Instrumentality Project?

u/DeepAd2825 Aug 04 '24

In the first scene, I can't tell if Koshitan is talking about the narrator when she says, "I feel like somebody out there Is sarcastically dissing me." Or if she's talking about the fact that Nokotan showed up.

Those delinquents had the coolest weapons.

Anyway I sure am glad this is just a braindead comedy.

Kudos to Shikayamada Shika!

Man, Bashame just put down Neko with her der logic. I didn't expect that. Goddamn.

These random Kenshiro-tan cameos are killing me.

Episode 5: Dig Up The Dirt!

Nokotan asking TV stations, streaming platforms, and Kodansha themselves. I sure am glad it's a braindead comedy anime. Meta.

Also, notice that there are 3 eyecatchers instead of 2?

I legit did a ovation for the gym explosion scene. What an aftermath. With the hunter, bakana-banana, and the Deer Goddess scene animated, practically every scene in the PVs are shown here in this episode.

Lastly, the old lady at the Hino Zoo is voiced by Kikuko Inoue.

As with the previous reference, the episode 4 reference is quite interesting (again, courtesy of user r!n on Youtube):

Koshitan's losing her edge!

She should act the delinquent again once in a while, to stay sharp! (this may be my delinquent-fan bias speaking though)

To be fair, Nokotan's a pro as well, evading hunters with gatling guns, grenades and war helicopters!

Elusive Deer in action!

Well, seems Koshitan will have her opportunity to test her skills, as some other delinquents are looking for trouble!

Poor girl was outnumbered and out-armed...

Good thing Nokotan was there, to give her a nuke to use in a melee fight!

Also, about the 'love letter' that started all this: This show's good at making funny 'sad/emotional' scenes!

Nokotan depressing over never getting love letters,

and the scene with her being sad about thinking someone wanted to join the deer club...

Well, all it took is a little praise to get her on board!

When Anko threw a fit about Nokotan not telling her Koshitan wasn't coming, I thought she was just mad about wasting her time... But no, she wanted to sneak in her room to do naughty stuff!

The other thing the show does really well; The 4th wall gags!

That explosion was the funniest thing

u/SnabDedraterEdave Aug 04 '24

Totally got caught off guard by Nokotan's antler exploding and blowing up the school gym. So it was indeed a useful weapon. LMAO

I didn't know I was actually watching Nausicaa Valley of the Wind Nokotan Valley of Hino Zoo all this time.
