I repeatedly rewound to that part at the beginning with Noko said 'Hajimaru Notsu!' 😂
Lots of meme material in this episode too, they decided to include the short gags from the manga which helped make this series popular before it became an anime.
This was really absolute acid

Best episode so far in my book. The faster pace suits it better. Went back to normal in the second half though.

The 18 mini episodes that occupied the first part of the whole episode was probably my favorite bit overall; really love how simple they were while still delivering on the comedy. My favorites were the ones with Nekoyamada contemplating if she should get the antler-shaped stamp as well as the 'Deer Club the Rock' segment.

The whole 'Nokotan molting' bit at the middle of the episode was just all types of weird (which isn't really a surprise given what we've seen in this anime so far), and the whole "tsuchinoko" business at the end of the episode where the student council (really just Nekoyamada though) butt heads with Nokotan was a lot of fun to watch.

This was a really good episodes, and a lot of the jokes still land too; seriously, whoever came up with all these gags, jokes, puns and scenarios is a comedic genius.

Episode flew by because of all the shorts. Many dumb gags, some were great. Somehow Neko Neko is becoming my favourite character. I guess I like tsunderes.

Somehow this episode was even more random than usual lol. I enjoyed the 18 short stories and really liked the Bocchi reference. Bashame wearing Nokotan's shedded skin was hilarious. The Disney joke was also really good. Tsuchinoko was really weird and it came out of nowhere, but it was still funny.

Wait a minute... Noko shed her fur along with clothes and all, which means her clothes are her body part. That means Noko is butt naked all the time! :0

> really liked the Bocchi reference

Was Bocchi airing as a late night show, though? (Koshitan only mentioned Nokotan being influenced by a late night anime.)

It feels like they've truly embraced the fact that it's a shitpost anime, and are just doing whatever weird no filter brainstormed shit that initially comes to mind. I wouldn't say they played it "safe" in earlier episodes (especially ep 2-3, my least fav eps), but this show continues to get more braindead and I think it's better for it. That molt/skin suit scene was so fucked lol...

This was more random than usual with the 18 short stories.

It was eerie to see Bashame use Nokotan's fur; it also implies that the uniform Nokotan wears is part of her body. But why does her fur have horns? Well, the narrator suggests it's better not to think about it.

I hope in the upcoming episodes, we get to see Neko taking care of her new tsuchinoko pet.

Bashame trying on Shikanoko's skin suit made me shiver. Truly deserving of the "horror" tag.

They absolutley dismantled the 4th wall on this one.

They got close, but made sure not to cross the line with Disney's copyright lol.

I love how Neko is the 2nd most sane person in the show...
which isn't saying much as, unlike Koshitan, she gives up into the insanity eventually as the usual punchline.

Good episode, for a moment I had a hard time understanding why we were seeing different random situations with the characters and my brain: silly, a minute ago they said there were going to be 18 special shorts apart from the canonical/main episode.
His clothes aren't really clothes, they're his skin lol, shedding his skin made me a little scared and disgusted, but I thought it was funny.

When the narrator said there'd be 18 mini episodes, I thought each would be like a minute or whatever, so when they breezed by I was just O.O

It took three whole years for the manga to reach summer?! Like, I get it cuz the story with all four club members together can only last a year but still. At least relish the summer!! Have a whole summer arc! Where was the beach episode? An episode where the Deer Club is stranded on an island deserted except for deer?? A summer festival infiltrated by the deer population???

Ironic that the summer-phobic anime is airing in the summer. ^^

episode 6 was a mix and match combination of 18 mini episodes, and some of them were interesting, but most lacked basic story elements.
@mersekelten_kr yeah it was a bad idea to do that in the first place, they were mostly just like 30 second gags that came out of left field

Ankos Siscon antics have reached a new level! Deer antlers are surprisingly versatile in the shikanoko verse! Bashame wearing Shikanoko as a costume is wild!

Peak show!!!

I had to ask a friend to come to my house to watch the show together because I'm not having fun watching it alone.

At some point, my father came in and saw two serious men staring at a high school girl eating a banana from her horns.
