Upcoming anime\u2019s weird marketing has fans completely obsessed CrunchyrollFree marketing tip: be weird. That\u2019s what My Deer Friend Nokotan is doing, and as the latest production from Studio WIT approaches release, people are paying attention. If you\u2019re unaware, the upcoming anime My Deer Friend Nokotan follows an elk-girl with horns who moves to a new school, and the group of friends that grow to love her slightly odd behavior. It\u2019s a charming comedy that could be one of the best anime this year, should execution match the concept. For something so odd, it\u2019s appropriate that the social media surrounding it has been slightly unhinged. For instance, the trailer asks, \u201cWhy are humans not deer?\u201d before repeatedly showing us the realistic deer used in the show, for whatever reason. If you like the music of that teaser, you\u2019re in luck, because the opening has been turned into an hour-long loop. Torako Koshi dances in front of a slightly disinterested looking deer for the whole thing. It\u2019s remarkable. People are paying attention, replying with plenty of memes, as well as self-imposed challenges. \u201cUtterly disappointed it\u2019s not 10 hours long,\u201d reads one of the top replies. \u201cAbsolute cinema,\u201d adds another. Perhaps you agree. Have this on 24\/7, put it in cinemas ahead of new movies. Maybe then Hollywood will finally be saved. My Deer Friend Nokotan comes from the manga by Oshioshio that kicked off in 2019. Masahiko Ohta is directing the adaptation, a filmmaker who tends to specialize in these slightly esoteric slice-of-life stories, having done Didn\u2019t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! and Gabriel DropOut among several others. One might even say this one is for his deer friends. Admit it, that\u2019s funny. Anyway, check out our guides on Mashle Season 3 and Tower of God Season 2 for more of what\u2019s coming up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
