| Just like starfield this anime is all about the marketing/hype but the end product is okay at best, mediocre at worst. |
| Sounds about right. |
No, this isn't my signature~desu. |
| I guess you are right. |
 |
| I found the marketing/hype more enjoyable than the show itself. |

episode 1 was 10/10 it's just unfortunate the rest didn't quite match my expectations
| @Zact99 I 100% agree! Episode 1 was great! The scene where the Deer Girl Entrance in slow motion is probably the Best joke in the anime! |
| The people were hyped only cuz they did a good marketing campaign |
| This anime tried being funny like Robot Chicken but the humor was mostly miss and sometimes a hit. |
| I don't think it's mediocre. It's just silly stupid humor and if you don't like this kind of humor ofc you won't understand this anime |

Imagine being so dull you have to judge something or be influenced based on hype/marketing rather than forming your own non-clouded opinion. Perhaps if don't watch series or play games based on any type of hype, you'll find that you'll hardly be disappointed anymore and that you'll give a more honest judgement of the material.
Because now you went in because of the hype, thinking it was the greatest show ever, you got disappointed and (unconsciously) subtracted one or several points from the rating purely because of that disappointment. Whereas if you came across this show randomly you might have given it a vastly different rating.
It's not cool in any way to be in the 'Look at me I hate this vastly popular show'-group as many people on MAL seem to think... I know it's something angsty teenagers like to do these days... but damn.
People do realize they can watch trailers and read a synopsis before starting a show, right? 99.9% of the show's essence is visible in the promotion videos that were released before the show aired. You would have figured instantly that this show would not be something you like, but instead we have a group of people here hate-watching something because they think it's cool to be a hater.

| @Filopyon " Yes! Yes...! Let your rage fuel you!!! " Yeah I kinda agree with what you said. At the very least, I don't think it's the starfield of anime even though it does seem like an apt description at first glance to some. Like some others in this thread have said, it's just a show with stupid humor that did a good marketing campaign and isn't a masterpiece, but it isn't an actually bad show either. I guess people who didn't enjoy it could say it's overrated, but I liked it. Nun. |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |
| yeah, it didn't lived up to it's hype. The trailer ended up being better than the anime itself lol. |

Ep 1 was great but i dropped it around ep 4-5 bc it just felt a little samey and boring
| @namesrowan +1 and it is sad. I really wanted it to be another lucky star, nichijou or saiki-kun. Really love the surreal humour, too much time without one really good. It ended up being snot-humour with shikaaaaa voices in the background |
 |
| The first few episodes were funny but it fell off so hard, especially episode 9 I didn’t even smile. Its humor was WAY too predictable and generic, don’t even get me started on Anko. |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| I forced myself to watch it, just hoping it would get better but it never did. Only thing I found funny was the mushroom scene because of the face and randomness. Definitely the worst of the season that I've been watching. |
| Idk how it's going, I dropped it. It had some funny parts for sure, but I'm not gonna watch a comedy where the humour falls flat more often than it lands. Couldn't get into Nichijou either, but from what I remember I think that had better humour than this. Plus, thehikanokonokonokokoshitantan scene (idk how else to describe it, but you know what I'm talking about) that went viral? So much better than the actual scene, which was borderline exhausting to watch |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Got bored half way and dropped the deer show. Kinda unfortunate, cuz this show has no plot progression, so if the comedy part is not funny, it's pointless to watch. For a lot of other comedy show, at least there is a plot there to follow, so even if they're not that funny, it's still fun to watch. (Konosuba/ Kaguya , etc. |

Well the trailers make stuff look funny. They put the best jokes in there you know. The synopsis made it sounds stupid and hilarious. It just got very samey. Shikanoko removing her horns to do X activity or Koshitan's sister being a siscon can't exactly carry a show. I did really enjoy episode 11 though with the deer Hunter. That's the kinda random shit I wanted from this show.
But to be fair most of the humor in the show lies in word play that can't really be translated to English, and I don't speak Japanese so I don't get lost of the jokes.

TBH, it's more about how bad and shitty they're using the jokes, where the overwhelming majority of it feels forced and also repetitive, which gets old really fast. I mean, I also watched other animes that uses the same kind of jokes like Shirokuma Café for example, but I can still enjoying that show much more compared to this one, because the jokes there flows more naturally, and it doesn't felt forced at all, on top of Shirokuma is a much more lovable character compared to Noko. So yeah, this series have a problem in execution, where the staffs clearly never had any experience in making a comedy gag anime before, hence it felt really rough. |

With all due respect, I disagree. Imho, this anime was a masterpiece of "absurdity-humor", nonsense jokes mixed with a lot of "goodhearted" atmosphere. Of course, those who were expecting something "more" serious, "smart", or even, something with several layers of drama construction - will be disappointed.
On the other hand, if you were expecting "nothing" - I'll bet you will laugh and enjoy Shika's world.
I liked it, a lot !

| @LFChocair to be fair, even if I had zero expectations out of this show, the amount of repetitive jokes, the overplayed straight man role that Koshitan played, and the horrible comedic timing and pacing this show had really made the whole experience incredibly off-putting. But glad to know you were able to enjoy this. As someone mentioned in the forum earlier, the trailer was genuinely more funny than the entire show. Well, at least that's the case for me and a lot of other folks. |

Filopyon said: I agree with the general sentiment that we shouldn't let expectations cripple our enjoyment, but the PV is what drew in most people. Most people actually watched it on their own and thought "this was hella funny." I remember them dropping it like 3 months before the anime started and thought this was peak well before the hype from the trailer and 1 hr opening song loop. The synopsis also reinforces this.People do realize they can watch trailers and read a synopsis before starting a show, right? 99.9% of the show's essence is visible in the promotion videos that were released before the show aired.

Anyways, I would say that this anime is also different when it comes to expectations too because it immediately shows its consistent level from ep2 onwards. Usually anime will slowly flicker out or have a bad ending, but this anime has been the same for the last 11 episodes. Most people that have made it this far and completed the anime has already gone past whatever disappointment they had initially within the first 3-5 episodes and are really just judging based on its actual quality now. |
| Starfield is woke slop. Shikonoko is is not ugly at all. Bad comparison Besides that shikonoko has a great cast. Humor is subjective. |

| @Raditz Agreed. I rewatched Asobi again and still laugh out so hard on all those overused trend/ stupid comedy set pieces. The execution is just on a totally different level. |

| @Ventus_S I dont know the Marketing, Hype/Trailer for Asobi Asobae. I watched it with no expectation. And Man, It was one of the FUNNIEST anime I ever watched! even when I rewatched it 3 times, its always got some chuckle to me. My Deer Friend Nokotan Marketing, Hype/Trailer makes its the most stupidest and funny comedy ever, and the same parallel with starfield, some people already called it THE GAME OF GENERATION, and when the actual game come out, the rest is history. same thing happen with Nokotan. |
