My Deer Friend Nokotan has been made into a massive meme by Wit Studio

My Deer Friend Nokotan is already one of the most-hyped anime of the summer 2024 season. The anime has gained significant attention due to Wit Studio's intentional use of memes. By releasing an hour-long dance scene from the anime's theme song, the studio drew inspiration from various fandoms, resulting in a viral marketing campaign that boosted the anime's popularity even before its premiere. This viral marketing strategy has helped My Deer Friend Nokotan become a popular anime.

The anime's popularity is expected to be fueled by the meme culture associated with it, making it a standout in the comedy genre. The fluid animation and surreal nature of the show make it a must-watch for fans.

The memetic nature of My Deer Friend Nokotan has already made it a hot topic among the upcoming anime, but with how many popular and mainstream anime will be released in summer 2024, My Deer Friend Nokotan might still fall to the wayside, even with the memes associated with it.

Wit Studio does seem to be doing a lot to draw attention to My Deer Friend Nokotan, though, so with any luck, it will go down as another one of their biggest hits in the same vein as Spy x Family and other projects of their.
