Synopsis

Torako Koshi is the epitome of perfection. With her peerless beauty, top-notch grades, and position as student council president, her popularity in school is unrivaled. However, she harbors a dark secret—she was a delinquent back in middle school—and this is something she conceals to the best of her abilities.

Unfortunately, when she meets the mysterious deer girl Noko Shikanoko, Torako's hidden shame is constantly on the precipice of being exposed due to Shikanoko's rather weird antics. To maintain the reputation she worked so hard for, Torako must go along with Shikanoko's whims, even going so far as to become president of the newly established Deer Club. All her efforts will be rewarded if she can prevent the menacing doe from accidentally blurting out damaging details about her personal history that will undoubtedly unleash Torako's greatest nightmare.

I enjoyed it very much, on occasion it lost me for a couple minutes but always brought me back In. The voice acting and art are done very well and the music is one of my favourite parts. Overall I would recommend to all. The story is fairly unique with there being not much of a story. I think most will enjoy the series with it being very light hearted with a lot of throw away moments. The soft and colourful art style matches the story and themes perfectly with it being a very lighthearted anime.the characters were as detailed in personality as they needed ...

Mixed Feelings
Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan is the most brainrot anime right now, but that doesn’t make it a masterpiece. With more lows than highs, it starts off strong but quickly falls flat. I had high expectations, especially since it’s an anime that constantly breaks the fourth wall, ignores logic at every turn, and features such a unique character. However, you soon realize that the jokes aren’t that funny, the comedic situations are weak and repetitive—“look, my horn turned into a rifle,” “look, I pulled a sandwich maker out of my head,” “haha, I’m not Nokotan, I’m Barack Otan, the deer president of Japan,” and so on. It’s ...

Spoiler-less, TL;DR, fast, simple, and easy-to-digest review:

Deer, Shika, Brainrot

5/10

(After this review, from then, reviews will be much more spoiler-lesser (or not), TL:DR'er, faster, simpler, and easier-to-digest)

Animation? Ok (+)
Really? This is animated by Wit Studio? It shows... kind of... kinda shame really. The animation and art style of this anime really suits and well done. The chibinize scenes, explosions, Jojo-mode moments, and a good goddamn art really attracted me to watch it. My only gripe for this criteria is when Torako walks in episode 2 and the background just moves effortlessly. Looks promising... but really a shame. It was all smoke and mirrors.
