Funniest anime of the year’s creators don’t know why we love it so much

As a seasoned gamer and anime enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, let me tell you that My Deer Nokotan has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the annals of anime history. This quirky comedy series about a human-deer hybrid friendship is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and it’s safe to say that it has captured the hearts and minds of viewers worldwide.

2024’s most captivating hits undeniably include My Deer Nokotan, a quirky, laugh-out-loud series that leaves us questioning the creators – how did they manage to tickle our funny bones like this? As a dedicated gamer, I can confidently say it’s a bizarre yet delightful journey I find myself revisiting again and again.

Even before its premiere in July 2024, it was evident that the anime series My Deer Nokotan would make a unique impression. The promotional campaign for this eccentric comedy show, featuring a high-achieving student forming a friendship with a woodland creature-human hybrid classmate, heavily emphasized its quirky nature.

We secured trailer loads of the chaotic animated series from Wit Studio, along with an hour’s worth of Noko’s dance numbers – who knows, it might have been fun! Consequently, the first season turned out to be a triumphant hit, cementing its position as one of the standout anime productions of the year.

Initially, the producers weren’t fully prepared for the level of affection audiences have shown towards Noko and Torako. In fact, they’re a bit puzzled by this response.

Director Masahiko Ohta shared his surprise about the success of “My Deer Friend Nokotan” trailer abroad, stating that this unique or perhaps odd anime has a distinct feel compared to typical American comedies, according to his conversation with Anime News Network.

As an enthusiastic admirer, I’d like to share Aya Okano’s perspective: he, as the promotional producer, believes the concept is hilarious. He explains that it’s largely due to deer being universally recognized and abundant in comedy potential.

I find tremendous amusement potential in their striking looks and enigmatic facial expressions. I imagine endless enjoyable moments can be found with them. I suspect many would agree that there’s something whimsically humorous about deer and attractive females.

Regardless of the situation, it’s proven successful. You can now watch my deer friend Nokotan in full on Crunchyroll. Don’t forget to check out our upcoming anime lineup for more peculiar finds!
