The opening of the anime adaptation of “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan (My deer friend Nokotan)”surpassed the impressive milestone of 3 million views on YouTube in just one day. This achievement is even more remarkable when we consider that the series is a franchise completely unknown to most of the public. In contrast, “Oshi no Ko,” which also reached this milestone with the premiere of its second season, already had an established fan base.

The series “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan” is being produced by WIT STUDIO, known for his work on hits such as “Shingeki no Kyojin” and “Vinland Saga”. This new production is quickly capturing the public’s attention thanks to its quirky premise and visual appeal.

In “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan,” no one knows that Torako was a delinquent. All her classmates know her as the perfect student. However, everything changes when Nokotan, a transfer student with deer antlers, enters her life. Antlers aren't the only strange thing about Nokotan. Your deer nose can sniff out Torako's secret past. Whether at school or at the zoo, chaos follows this doe-eyed girl's every step. Torako has a lot of questions: Is Nokotan a deer, a girl, or something in between?

The opening's rapid accumulation of views on YouTube highlights the immediate impact the series had, despite being a new franchise. Fans showed their enthusiasm for animation and musicwhich helped increase its popularity.

The success of “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan” is not surprising considering the History of WIT STUDIO in the creation of visually stunning and narratively engaging content.
