Nokotan, my deer friend It looks like an anime that your friends will think you’re making just to tease you, but it looks very realistic and very gritty.
How do I describe my deer friend Nokotan? hmm… Well, it’s a high school story. Who is this deer-human hybrid? And I guess there’s a club at her school trying to exterminate her? Also, sometimes there’s just a JPEG of a real deer, sometimes there’s a CGI model, there’s explosion sounds, and there’s some catchy animation like the theme song from hell. I don’t think it really captures it, but you can check out the trailer for yourself below. It’s a bit Pop Team Epic and a bit Nichijou, but there’s absolutely no concept of it being tolerable when it comes to the brutality of it all.

The show’s official synopsis explains a bit more about the show. “One day, high school student Torako Koshi felt something cold touch her face. When she looked up, she saw a girl with horns tangled in wires. She helped Shikanoko. This unique girl with horns was Tora, who was a model student on the outside. And so begins the story of a girl (who was once a delinquent) and another girl (a deer?) in this Girl Meets Deer adventure, but I don’t know if that will help you all that much, but when you take a ride like this, just buckle up! It’s better to fill it and roll.

You won’t have to wait that long to check out My Deer Friend Nokotan, as it’s set to release on July 7th, just over a month away. Although it’s produced by Wit Studio, the animation studio behind other popular anime like Spy x Family and the first three seasons of Attack on Titan, it’s definitely quite different from the typical shows the company produces.
