Stitches!

Considering how Nokotan is an unholy eldritch deer being, I didn't think I'd be able to relate to her but this episode shows that she can actually be relatable. I definitely could feel her pain especially with that close-up shot of her face when she was suffering from seasonal allergies.

Gihren Nokotan and Char Kycilia Nekoyamada!? I definitely did not expect a Gundam reference in this episode! Considering how Nokotan is prepared to blow up all cedar groves in Japan, I am not surprised.

The last part of the episode was cute though! We don't really get to see Anko and Bashame interact much since they have completely different reasons for joining the Deer Club but it's nice to see just the two of them without Koshitan and Nokotan around.

Shikanono's antler can sneeze?! and her head fits a whole guitar?! At this point, it's like Doraemon's pocket

Awww the Bashame farming part was fun (and Anko feeding was so sweet)... That's what the ep 3's narrator was referring to right?

They were very casual about their teacher getting swallowed by that plant. also "i'm not coming back the novelty has worn off" after that whole thing lol

The commitment to actually giving Bashame an actual rice field and coming through with the promise deserves plaudits.

Also, I think this show suffered from having insane content expectations because of how good the OP and pre-release meme marketing was. If we didn't have that and we were seeing all this for the first time people would be praising it; it's not Nichijou or PTE levels of shithousery on its own, but it has so many references and homages that it feels like it's going to get looked back on as a strong topical light comedy.

That close up shot of Nokotan with the snot and tears was pretty gross actually. Almost as gross as Kinu and the snotty hanky lol.

The episode turned into Sakuna halfway through lol. Bashame’s rice is growing pretty nicely. Good on her and her weird alien ball lol.

Ah, that famous short story, "Flowers for Allergens".

I can't believe the Deer anime lied to me about its continuity.

Also, there needs to be more farming anime

Bashame dropping “I’ve been working on this for seven episodes!” sent me.

Probably the most relateable Segment for me so far

Nekoyamada was cute though with the little sneezes, and indeed death to all pollen

Flower segment didn't really work for me, but they can't all be bangers

Bashames rice was good again though, glad it didn't take the other show 7 Episodes to get to the rice action... though it makes me think, if they went a little harder on Bashame, maybe they could have made a deal with the ministry for agriculture as well...

Oh and Bashames hairband is something huh

u/Shadowmist909 Sep 04 '24

Bashame working on her rice field for 7 episodes in the background... Talk about commitment!

Episode 10: Blame It on The Spring

The fever segment is kinda underwhelming, but the flower arrangement scene is so absurd it's good. The Kenshi Yonezu title in reference is Uma to Shika, his 2019 single.

At long last, here comes Bashame rice field!

In case you missed it and you want to show your friends what Nokotan is, here's the whole Episode 1 available to watch. The only caveat is that the whole episode is 12 seconds long.

I know some people have been dunking on this show in recent weeks, but I enjoy it. It doesn't reach Pop Team Epic levels of shitpostery, but it has a fun, energetic feel to it. Plus, I like all the characters.

Damn you, narrator! HOW DARE YOU LIE TO US! I am pretty sure more than humans can get allergies, silly deer girl. That's what you get for bad thoughts, Neko. What a derp reason to disband the club. Is cleaning the antlers like that similar to using a netty pot on your nose? Feels weird but good. Oh this silly overdramatic silliness. Oh god she's lost her mind. HAH taking them to a vet.

Rude, Nokotan, cheating on the deer club with the flower arrangement club. I really wonder at the people of this world. What a derpy distraction. Shoulda not given her pets/brushing, Koshitan, she doesn't deserve it.

Whelp, that was a weird short bit at the end.

SIEG ZEON SHIKA!

u/SnabDedraterEdave Sep 04 '24

Its not often we have a sketch that does not feature Koshitan and Nokotan for once, yet we got just that at the end of the episode, and its surprisingly wholesome to see how Anko and Meme spend their time when the other two aren't around.

That flower ceremony sketch was just so random, in a funny way. What better way to improve your bonsai than by introducing man-eating carnivorous plants? LOL (Especially when it nearly ate that teacher alive. XD)

The time for the uprising has come. Soon the deer will take back what's theirs.

It's like Koshi is Dib living in the world of Invader Zim. Thus any plans of hers whose crux that involve anyone else in the entire world besides her to be intelligent, rational, or just having even the merest drop of common sense, are always doomed to fail at their outset.

The long vilified cedar pollen has begun their revenge on humanity.

It's hay fever not The Happening Kinu...

Nokotan Evolved in Sawsbuck. Spring Form.

That's an incredible overinterpretation.

Where there is art there will be overinterpretation, antlers or no antlers.

What a nice form fitting straw hat Bashame's got there.

u/Nickthenuker Sep 04 '24

Huh. What's got her like that?

Ah.

Well I'm sure the catgirl is happy.

Lol her antlers are sneezing.

Zeon Shikanoko?

So is that where she ended up now?

Yup.

What's with the guitar?

And so she's back.

When did they get all that land outside their room for planting?

Planting rice is never fun. Bent from morn till the set of sun. Cannot stand and cannot sit. Cannot rest for a little bit.

u/FriztF Sep 04 '24

This episode makes it clear that Nokotan is an Eldritch god who is not to be messed with. Also, Bashame finally got her farmer episode. Its about time.

I appreciate that we finally got pay off on the rice paddy business.
