Crunchyroll moves popular new anime, but it\u2019s for a good reason CrunchyrollCrunchyroll has shifted the release time of My Deer Friend Nokotan, meaning the absurdist comedy will be available even earlier each week. As far as best anime of 2024 go, My Deer Friend Nokotan is up there so far. The strange coming-of-age show, about a high school girl who becomes best friends with the new kid, who happens to be part deer, is endlessly charming, hilarious, and weird. Crunchyroll had been putting up episodes weekly on Sundays, simulcasting with a wider release in Japan. From August 7, 2024, that changes, and the show arrives weekly on Wednesdays at 7:30am PT instead. This was revealed on the service itself, for My Deer Friend Nokotan Episode 6. Although the previous timeslot was a simulcast with Japan, it didn\u2019t line up with the actual premiere of new episodes because they arrived on Abema for a short period first. Now, we\u2019ll get episodes in line with Abema\u2019s exclusivity, a fascinating wrinkle in licensing as generally these deals just don\u2019t happen for rollouts outside of Japan. Whatever amount of the audience that was finding a way to watch earlier without waiting was probably a significant contributing factor. We still don\u2019t know how many episodes this first season will have, though that\u2019s not surprising. Sometimes fans don\u2019t find out something is the finale until only a week or two out. Even Demon Slayer still plays by those rules. However long My Deer Friend runs for, it\u2019s truly a joy to watch. Sadly, there isn\u2019t much of Oshioshio\u2019s manga to adapt just yet, with only 43 chapters as of now. In other words, enjoy this season while it lasts, because we might be waiting for material on the second. Check out our upcoming anime list and guides to Oshi no Ko Season 2 and Tower of God Season 2 for ways to stay entertained nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
