“This got adapted into an Anime???” Not only that, it got adapted by WIT Studios, the creators of Attack on Titan 💀

I just realized, this anime is made by WIT STUDIO, so that scene where she broke through the classroom door is supposed to reference collosal titan breaking down wall XD

In the spanish sub, when Nokotan calls Koshi "virgin" infront of all the class, one of her classmates says "she's waiting for me" and another girl replies "and for me too!"

The fact there are always at least 2 deer witnesses for the coming of the incarnation of the deer jesus (nokotan) is hilarious. The fact she has wisdom beyond her years (antlers) and seems to have literally descended from heaven on top of that is wild. Even more meta is the fact that horns on the head used to be a mistranslation of a divine aura (halo). Deer god.

I have two theories about what the heck Nokotan is because I love overthinking. 1. Is that she’s some lovecraftian deer god. The only supernatural aspects of the show, aside from 4th wall breaks, center only around her, and I think she’s able to mind control those in her vicinity (explaining the scene where all the classmates find nothing strange about her busting down a door), she’s just on Earth to mess around 2. Koshi has died and this is hell. Literally everything Nokotan does is designed to humiliate or inconvenience her. I hope this helps the algorithm :)

I can't help but notice that the pair of deers that keep appearing throughout the episode are a male and female deer, and they seemed pretty upset when Nokotan was bleeding out... ... Are those Nokotan's parents...?

Fun fact deer chew on their antlers that they have shed because they are rich in nutrients.

Everyone talking about the "You Deer" in the opening. But I appreciate the "free fall from sky" sequence more. The joke was that in other anime they show characters free falling from sky to incite excitement from the audience. This anime switched it and make fun of it. Lol

DEER ANIME!!! Crazy how Wit Studio went from titans slaughtering people to *D E E R*

Anyone else feels like they were transported back to the early 2000s with this brand of comedy? Or is it just me?

So basically the best way to explain this anime is imagine you had a stroke, yea that’s about it

Deer are noble and reality-destroying eldritch beings.

This anime feels like the nightmare one would have, where something weird is going on, and no one but you recognizes how weird the situation is.

I feel like people who watched random/chaotic series (like SpongeBob, Gumball, heck maybe even SkibidiToilet) will rarely, or NEVER question the logic and physics of this anime cuz they're used to it, and will just instead laugh along with it And I'm one of em 😆😅

9:52 THANK YOU! I admit this is petty, but I have watched so many people react to this bit and be like "wow, look at her gaslighting" and I'm like "NO! This isn't gaslighting! This is guilt tripping! Get your terminology straight!" So I'm just thankful to see someone use the right term here

Fun fact: the leads, Nokotan and Torako, share VAs with... Kana Arima and Hatsune Miku respectively! They absolutely sell the chaos and I haven't seen a show this 100% unhinged since Asobi Asobase.

The anime community: this is "normal"

DEER 🦌. NO THOUGHTS. ONLY DEER

After Alycia said she replies to rude comments, I was tempted to play the "getting noticed by sempai" lottery, but I just didn't have the heart to roast a person this bewildered by deer.

YES, Rat has made contact WITH D E E R

Our Almighty deer gods have finally blessed us with this reaction 🛐 Edit: i added the emoji

Been so hyped since announcement for this anime. The sh**posting on official channel alone is legendary.

Fun fact: Deers will often chew on bones to get minerals like phosphorus, calcium and sodium into their diet. Sarah Fecht, at Popular Science explains, the zigzagging motion of the deer’s jaw leaves a distinctive forked pattern on the bone. Carnivores, by contrast, tend to gnaw on bones with their sharp teeth when they still have meat on them, leaving punctures and pits in bone. 😊

31:18 Sorry to say this Alicia, but according to the OP lyrics, Nokotan is just too powerful to die so easily like that

EMBRACE THE BRAIN ROT NOOOWWWW

Still can't believe Twitch chat managed to trick her into watching this. XD

if you think it's crazy that this has an anime, then you are NOT ready for the cognito-hazard of knowing the studio who did the first 3 seasons of Attack on Titan also did THIS

Yeah I have no idea wtf this show is about, but for some reason I can't stop watching it.

you think God hasn't _tried_ getting rid of that deer girl? why do you think she was hanging by the horns from electrical wires?

I just watched the first episode yesterday, and I’m so glad I checked out Alicia’s reaction, because I was convinced I was having a fever dream. Hope to see more of these insane reactions in the future.

Shika mean deer, that all you need to know about before you start enjoying this

This is the spiritual successor of Nichijou, deers and all.

This deer is a creature of purpose

This anime feels like a fever dream

How many deer puns do you think will be in this? I bet a hundred bucks it's going to be a massive amount.

5:40 Oh god, that sounds like your average commentator. Wait...

17:40 yeah even Amane Kanata of Hololive who also happen to be drawn by the author, also states that her mama sense of humor are hella weird

Hello there, Nichijou season 2. Absurdist anime is back on the menu

This series is themed around the deer population of Nara. Sorry, by themed I meant Completely Hyperfixated and Obsessed with. It's completely unhinged and I love it.

Fun fact: The reason she's self conscious about her antlers and says "of course a girl with horns would be really disgusting" is cause only MALE deer grow antlers. So... yeah! Nokotan says trans rights? Also this context makes Alicia's shitting on her antlers kinda funny. I can't belive Alicia would be transphobic like this smh /jk

11:41 Deer Titan

Alicia: This is f***ing weird!!! Me: First time watching an absurd humor anime?

Fun fact,even if only background characters talk about it,nokotan is actually the avatar of some prefecture god that blesses that place because of deer or something

I am 100% invested, both in entertainment fact and DeerCoin

Btw the voice actress for Nokotan is also Gon in HunterXHunter 😅

Welcome to the weird side of Anime Alicia! It only gets stranger from here

"When you watch something Bizarre, you want more Bizarre" -Bizarre Enthusiast

Jepanes absurdist humor anime are in another league man.

alicia in an evil timeline 5:41

This episode was so funny 😂 it reminds me of Nichijou - My Ordinary Life which would be a good series for you. I don't think I've ever seen anyone react to it.

I love seeing someones first gag anime, its such a magical experience

just in case you haven't figured out, "shika" is the Japanese word for deer. So her surname Shikanoko sounds like "Deer Child". "Yankee" is the Japanese word for punk or delinquent.

Yeah, this is an anime of all time. I'd like to see more reactions. The comedy is gold.

Sidenote, this anime has an actually deep Lore, but not even the characters dont give a shit about it lmao

12:34 giving me Kakyoin flashbacks

This is one the "Don't think just vibe anime" for sure.

The Blu-ray is bound to make a lot of Bucks!

Man Baki and Jojo are way more normal lol This anime is like Bobobo on crack 😂 I can't wait for episode 2

Fun fact: Koshi is voiced by the person who provided voice samples for Hatsune Miku

I was looking for a potential hxh upload but got even better! This show is peak

Nokotan had the same VA as Kana Arima

24:27 it's really funny when someone pauses moments before disaster, and has a lot to say, and then is rendered absolutely speechless by the scene that immediately happens next 😂 I've seen so many people pause before she walks through the door, or before the waterfall drool, or THIS scene, only to be absolutely floored by the monstrosity of whatever comes next. This has been WILDLY entertaining

LOL "Nroh!" is just "horn" baackwards 🤣 Def EP2!!

Peak Anime meets Absolut Brainrot

Love how Alicia's code-switch was just a phone voice. 😂

Studio WIT: "shall we drop the final season of AoT so we can anime CGI deer?"

oh deer EDIT: just saw alicia used the bad joke ive been spamming in my groupchat for weeks, im in shambles

The Deer gods have descended and graced us this day. I’m legit unsure of the series but it seems fun and am looking forward to where the deer shenanigans go! 🦌

Such a fucking wild anime

No one expected the dark souls reference

This anime feels so chaotic, and I am deer for it.

“Shika” means “deer”, so they’re singing and chanting “deer” as a sound effect lol

I like to imagine that Oda saw the trailer for this series and went “Yes, these are precisely the people who should be handling the One Piece anime remake”.

Btw this was animated by the same studio that animated AOT ( glad they’re finally animating a good anime)

ain't no way she bust in there with the same aura as Yuta 11:43

"Is that bestiality?" the better question is: Is it cannibalism?

One place I lived had a lot of deer in the suburbs. On multiple occasions I saw small groups of them walk in the ditches a fair stretch to cross the road at intersections. Once I saw what appeared to be one of these groups even wait for the lights to change, and used a crosswalk. It could be just confirmation bias, but I still feel like it might have been natural selection at work. The ones that didn't learn traffic safety tended to get into accidents eventually.

Koshi is gonna be that straight man character who suffers from everyone else being insane. She can't even be safe by going along with the chaos.

She needs to call a hunter.

I have asked this before, but please react to the first season of Nagatoro with Richard or at least one of your friends. I kind of want your psychology insights, given her controversial behavior is kind of a defense mechanism, and it honestly gets really good at episode seven. It's a lot like My Dress Up Darling, except I would say that series is about two thirds romance and one third comedy, whereas Nagatoro is three quarters comedy. If you like rom-coms, it's one of the best out now.

Oh Deer, Alicia is reacting to this anime, I fear KZfaq can't contain this much Chaos.

Fun fact: the Japanese voice actress for Noko (deer girl) is the same voice actress who plays ALLMIND in the Japanese translation of Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon

Hey Alicia! Another wacky anime that’s really good is Bang Brave Bang Bravern from last season, that’s another wild ride that’s way too fun to miss out.

Now all I can Imagine is Aliciaxdeer in a new costume lol

You really need to watch the trailers for this show

This gives me more hope that she'll watch Gintama someday

I just love whackadoo anime shows like this, and I’m glad Alicia has started following it!

Shika is deer apparently. Still love how expressive they make the word. This series might be needed as a way to break up sad episode floods in various series. Just imagine Chopper playing with Nokotan.

This anime feels like a revival of the wacky anime comedy, especially getting some, and I recommend this series for anyone who like this one, Hare+Guu (the anime goes three seasons, but the manga goes on longer). In Hare+Guu the boy Hare lives with his mother in a jungle village *it is modern times and the opening scene hints at some more serious stuff in the plot for later*, but the comedy side here, its a small village and while being sent out to pick bananas by his mother Hare is attacked by an eldritch horror, only to wake up like nothing happened and find his way home where his mother has found a mysterious girl with cartoon powers. I won't spoil much but...the girl is obviously the eldritch horror, and is either trying to figure out humans or is messing with people for fun, but clearly everyone is going crazy around here and Hare is trying to hold onto his sanity (doesn't always succeed) and even forgets what Guu is at times. Oh and as a selling point also Guu is basically a humanoid version of Kirby with a Wackyland dimension inside her body (all episode 1 stuff). This anime is also why I am suspecting Nokotan of being some kind of forest god.

This really is the anime of all time

My beagle is similar. She barks at anything she doesn't understand & will even bark at dark spots with nothing in 'em sometimes because she doesn't see well in darkness but she'll never chase or fight & the moment anything scary actually happens, she hides under a bed. She once growled at a broken air conditioner on the side of the street during a walk before very slowly approaching it, sniffing it, & then immediately acting like nothing happened.

This show has so many references, it’s worth a chuckle.

This show is a fever dream, and the OP lives in my head rent-free.

usually dogs who barks a lot and just chases others, are the more cowardly when things seems to get serious. I have 3 dogs, one will look cute and calm but if annoyed, will go for a warning growl and bark before jumping for a bite (but is so tiny that does not really hurt, but will startle you anyway tho) and the other barks to everything, but if another dog stands serious or is just big and playful running towards her, she will start crying and run back to me like if she has been bitten already or something

12:48 - Alicia "shinokonokonokonokonoko~♫ [laghing] "here name is so much fun" everyone who knows : "oh...she is one of us"

Alright, new rule: everytime “Shika” is chanting, we must pray to the deer god.

Fun fact: The music directors said in an interview that the show director challenged them to make an intro song that comprised of as few words other than the title name as possible, which in Japanese, is Shikanokonokokoshtatan.

NOT THE DOKI DOKI

25:50 Nah, you're good. My first thought after processing that whole sequence was "Hey Koshitan was kneeling when she put the band-aid on Nokotan's knee and Nokotan's wearing a short skirt. Koshitan must've seen EVERYTHING under there"

I'm pretty sure that Nokotan is an Eldritch Chaos God, who's specifically not letting her aura effect Shikatan just to fuck with her as hard as possible.
