What it's released but not on crunchyroll where did you guys watched it?
Wednesdays on Abema (raw), and Sundays on CR and other western streaming services (subbed/dubbed).
Why do we have to answer this same question every week, in every episode thread, with the same answer?

As I said earlier: That's the unfortunate result of when someone throws in Chinese text in Google Translate and doesn't even correct one single line. The automatic translator (without AI) have no context at all about the show, and how to sort and explain many of the Chinese characters, especially in peoples names.
If you check the Chinese Wikipedia page for the series, you can see that they write the family name Koshi as 虎视, and that is interpreted as "Tiger Eyes" for anyone without any context. For example the information that it's supposed to be a person's name.

@Dogemy ABEMA has an exclusivity deal where it comes there early. As a result every week there are no official subs until Sunday (when it comes on crunchyroll), you probably watched an AI translation.
More likely an automatic machine translation without AI, from Chinese subs.

Great as always, especially the ridiculous explosion lmao. I'm sorry a lot of people don't like the show, I'm honestly happy to see more comedy anime, especially one that focuses on wild animals, as I am very partial to learning more or just celebrating local fauna. I'm sorry I hunted deer at a young age but certainly not with a dang Gatling gun lol. This is the show right now I look forward to the most that isn't one of the big names.

@Ventus_S That's the thing: Half of the "Deer puns" aren't actually deer puns in the series. The fucking subs are just adding them in. The whole "ex-door-cise" or whatever bit? Subs only. She literally just says "Deer training".

@watsym This isn't AI. AI don't make up entirely new jokes out of whole cloth. There were no deer puns when it came to the "exercise" bit, for example. This was some dickhead that deliberately butchered the subs. Unless we're both seeing totally different subs.

Man. This is the second time I've seen your message with insulting the subs, and you're not even getting to the heart of the matter. In the previous episode, you criticized some lines, but those same lines were also in the officially translated manga. Now you accuse subs of using memes, even though they were taken from the French subtitles. Which are also official.

@the_joe Yes. It's common knowledge that the official subs are garbage for just about anything. The only saving grace is that they seem to be holding off on the political messaging this time around. But these subs in particular don't even translate half of the dialogue. I don't mean they do it badly, I mean half of what they're saying just doesn't show up. Not to mention the inclusion of deer puns that literally don't exist, among other terrible failings.

The show's like "Thank you for having me, but I'll be going now", and the subs are like "See ya". Or (Actual example from the episode) turning "Deer training" into "Ex-deer-cize".

So yes. I know these are official subs. That makes it worse. Imagine paying for subs and getting some guy's fanfic instead.

Very good cinematic fight in the first half. Jk

I mean Nokotan and Koshitan duo is insane.

They make great comedy together.

Neko san is very cute but, gambare! Neko san.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Now that the four main girls and even the school council girls as side characters have been introduced, the anime has become more episodic, like manga snippets. I love the adventures and even the red herrings, like how hyped up Koshitan's "love letter" was. When I first saw it, I thought it was a prank by Nokotan. But the more they played into the gag, the more I wondered if it was a legit love letter from a sweet innocent girl who Koshitan would gently reject. So that delinquent challenge was hilarious. Also, Nokotan scamming zoo tourists. XD

It made me smile. I have to admit, I must have started to watch this to hate watch it as I do not have high expectations. It has good transitions between skits which is why it's better than two other comedies I watch.

1st skit, Koshita is strong enough to handle them just like Ayukawa Madoka, but Shikano's bomb antlet was hilarious.

3rd skit: Did anyone catch the significance of changing from Neko to Shika? Shikano changed her name from cat to deer.

She was planning to destroy the deer club but ended up enjoying her time there. lol

I find it funny that between the brainrot show and the DC show, WIT decides to snap on the brainrot one. That explosion might just have been better than anything Suicide Squad has offered up in their eight episodes so far lol.

In a way, both Koshi and Nekoyamada are the same. They both ended up getting brainrotted by the deer xD

Brain rot was even stronger than normal in this episode man. We literally watched Koshitan and Neko get brain rotted out of their information gathering missions 😭

First of all bombing the school gym was utterly ridiculous and as Koshitan said “good thing this is a brain dead comedy anime” because wtf man 💀 but I’m still dying over how Koshitan intended to tail Nokotan and find out where she lives and what not only to get distracted and lost in the utter brain rot that is spending time with Nokotan. I mean blending in at the zoo as a deer and taking money from the guests is insane lmao.

It is kinda crazy that they’ve been friends for a while now and Koshitan still doesn’t know if Nokotan even has a home 😂

Then the end of the episode with Neko sneaking around trying to gather info only to be taken in by the club. There is no escape once you enter Nokotan gravitational field lmao. Poor thing got her last name deerified as well. Bashame is hilarious too man like trying to eat Nokotan’s whole hand to get those crackers is just absurd

Just a very over the top and nonsensical episode that we’ve come to know and love lol

Why is it that when I watch this show, I periodically feel as if I am suffering from a delusional dream during a bad cold?

@Marinate1016 The irony is that at first she didn't understand Shikotan's whining about letters to the mangaka and the studio, but then she relaxed because their show was a comedy. She knows.

The fight with the delinquent girls was pretty fun, I also enjoyed Nokotan’s reaction to the “love letter” beforehand, those things paired with the exploding deer antler probably made it my favorite bit of the series so far, shit exploding randomly is something I’m weak to thanks to Ranma and Urusei Yatsura so I couldn’t help but love it lol, only part I didn’t like was the “shikaaaa” music post-explosion, idk it’s hard to describe why I don’t like it but it’s just not doing anything for me, I thought the bit was already funny without it.

And then came the Koshi tailing bit, which was probably the most odd bit of the show so far, I did like the banana being in Nokotan’s antlers and when she chomped on a random girl’s hand which caused her to freak out lol, but the deer parade afterward was just kinda goofy, I did like how the bit ended tho with Koshi enjoying some Boba with Nokotan, I like when the show just goes CGDCT lol. And the last bit with Nekoyamada was pretty cute, had a feeling there wouldn’t be much recon happening, I gotta say tho it was pretty weird seeing some of the deer club activities like eating deer crackers and trying to grow antlers, ever since seeing the 2021 movie “Antlers” I do not wanna see anyone growing antlers that aren’t supposed to lol. And although Nekoyamada left on a happy note, she realized she had been had very soon after lol, hope we see more of her because I like her a lot so far.

Now I have to write letters to Shikanoko and send them to Kodansha by mail xDD, what a good marketing strategy. I'd love to see them receive letters and suddenly read them in an episode; that would be epic.

Koshitan and Neko are so similar that Nokotan easily manipulates them, and neither of them could get what they were looking for. It's clear that Nokotan has no weaknesses, plus she's a fugitive and can use her horns as grenades.

Koshitan following Nokotan was fun. If only there was a zoo I could just go up and pet Nokotan.

I like how the deer dont even know what sounds deer make shika shika shika

If Bashame can fit a full fist in her mouth i wonder what else she does on her free time.

Poor Nekochan can't stay focused. Well she is officially a deer now though.

Side note I am curious what is in these deer crackers. Maybe I could make some?

Edit: it's rice bran, wheat and water. Same place shown in the ED clips.
