Twin Engine has released a special music video for My Deer Friend Nokotan, featuring the full version of “Shikairo Days.” You can watch the video via its official YouTube channel.
The music video starts with the main characters (and some realistic-looking deer) dancing to the viral opening bit of the song. It then shows short clips from the show, with the lyrics appearing over them. Considering the music video uses material from the show, it may not come as a surprise that it has the same-fast paced ridiculousness as the actual episodes.
My Deer Friend Nokotan is a comedic slice-of-life manga and anime series that follows Torako Koshi (Koshitan), a former delinquent who puts on the facade of an honors student. However, transfer student Nokotan turns her life upside down. Not only is she some sort of bizarre deer-girl hybrid creature, but she often gets into chaotic situations. Koshitan has to struggle to not only hold onto her mask as the perfect student, but also keep her sanity from crumbling under the sheer ridiculousness.
The anime (from Wit Studio) will end on September 22, 2024, and there will be twelve episodes total. To promote this, a truck featuring Nokotan went around Japan (namely Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ikebukuro) for people to look at or take pictures with. The truck’s last day was on September 18, 2024 and its final stop was Shinjuku.
My Deer Friend Nokotan is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. As for the manga, Seven Seas Entertainment licensed it for an English audience.
