A deer once asked "What is peak?". Another wise deer responded simply "This." When individuals strive to reach higher levels of achievement, we often ask ourselves the question of identity. "Who do I want to be?" It is hard for us humans to gauge our progress unless we compare ourselves to other constants of this world. This show truly emphasizes these questions and reveals that it is in fact the concept of Deer that we humans strive to accomplish in life. While we may be unaware of this secret desire, through community (our own symbolic deer club) we can achieve transcendence beyond our traditional ways of life. From the first "Shika" to the last "nun", this show reminds us of our humanity and the fragility of our ideas of progress in life. "Shikanokonokonokokoshitantan"? The answer to this statement is: "Yes"

It's full of great references amazing humour and just a heartfelt comedy. The characters are all unique and funny, art style beautiful and setting well thought out. Going into it you think it's gonna be another unfunny anime but this bizarre anime is far from it. Design choices have the deer being an out of place 3D model but it's intentional. I highly recommend this as i did not stop laughing throughout the episodes. Don't know what i'll do with my life if it does not return for a season 2. The opening is catchy with a great sequence. This show definetly deserves more than a 10/10 and if you haven't watched it then do.
