Heyya, I noticed your review on Shikanoko and glad to find another brother who felt the same. I think people really mistake the anime for something genuinely funny when it fails a lot on its comedy aspect.
I was kind of hoping for likable characters so the jokes could have more diversity instead of just "deer being dere, or deer jokes, haha laugh now pls". It's a drastic difference from shows that have idiotic characters like the cast of Konosuba, which noticeably are more favorable and likable to watch, because at least the writers put effort into making them ACTUALLY LIKABLE.
It also kind of pinpoints the idea that if the script or dialogues are bad, the voice actors could only do at best to make it mediocre rather than a falling dumpster. It's like the deer cult effect is happening, everyone is praising it regardless of its quality just because it's an anime about deer being deer, and somehow that's fine to watch.
