The mere description of the series is enough to raise multiple questions. It’s certifiably ridiculous and doesn’t feel like an actual series. However, the “unique” plot line has raised heads, and otakus are eager to learn more about this weird series.

If you thought the anime description was insane, the PV is beyond crazy. It introduces Koshitan, whose perfect facade seems to shatter in the face of our ‘deer’ main character, Noshitan.
The electric pole catches her antlers, and she asks Koshitan, the ex-gangster girl, for help. The PV contains many more bizarre scenes oddly reminiscent of Himōto Umaru-chan.
A key visual has also been released, depicting Noko, Torako, Anko, and Meme Bashame. The illustration also features several disturbingly realistic-looking deer in the background.

Series author Oshioshio also drew an illustration featuring the two main characters to celebrate the announcement. He also thanked the audience for all the support he had received.
The series is, well, unique and unapologetically funny. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and is quite silly. This is the perfect anime series if you want something hilarious and do not mind some mindless entertainment!
