no thoughts head full of shika senbei :D
(pasting my comment here because I didn’t know that the discussion threads got moved)
Yeah, sorry about that. The discussion about episode threads happened in a different post’s comments, and then the thread from rikka was requested while I was asleep, so it took me a little bit of time to come in and set things right. Barring any changes, threads for the show will be in this community for the season.
Hey feel free to comment screenshots in next episode. I will use that.
This was a good episode. I think the stalking of Nokotan was my favorite segment. I can only imagine the David Attenborough documentary about deer as it was going on.
One thing that I got curious about this episode was Nokotan’s using the word notsu a lot, especially when talking to other deer or as a greeting. I was racking my brain to figure out what it was supposed to be. I think I was finally able to piece things together later in the episode when she was talking about growing her antlers.
The Japanese kanji for horn/antler is 角 with a pronunciation of tsuno (つの). So, I think Nokotan’s nonsense word of notsu is simply those two kana being flipped (のつ, notsu). I was really confused when I was trying to look this up because I was unfamiliar with this reading for the kanji and was more familiar with the kado (かど) reading. Kanji are tough sometimes, but they really unlock a whole other level of puns.
