Trivia[]

  • The color of the text on the title card represents Nekoyamada.
  • It is revealed one of the Deer Club's "club activities" include sunbathing on the warehouse roof.
    • It is also revealed that Noko snores while saying the word "Deer" repeatedly.
  • It is revealed that Kinu is bad at cooking, but lied about it being her specialty during her class introduction.
  • It is revealed that Noko has been harvesting mushrooms in the gym storage room, and gets really upset at the thought of anyone stealing them.
  • The wide-eyed face Noko makes after seeing Kinu hiding in the former's mushroom harvest is also referenced in the anime's intro.
  • One of the chapters this episode is adapting, Caught in the Crosshairs!!, makes a reference to its chapter name.
  • Chiharu reveals that Kinu was the one who invited her to join the student council together.
  • In the English dub, Nekoyamada meowing in frustration is changed to her groaning "Damn!".
  • Shikanoko breaks the fourth wall when talking about the clips of Koshi interacting with Tsunoda.
  • Unlike Koshi's song, Shikanoko's song, Let's Settle Down in Hino, was not dubbed during the episode's initial release, for reasons not mentioned.
  • In the original, Bashame asks Chiharu if she would prefer Akita Komachi-branded rice or Yumepirika-branded rice, in the English dub, this was changed to her asking between white or brown rice.
  • Anko reveals that Torako likes to sing in the bath.
  • During Nekoyamada's brief flashback montage, it is revealed that she ran against Koshi during the presidential student council election and lost, and was instead picked by Koshi herself to be her vice-president.

Manga-Anime Differences[]

  • Though, not explicitly stated in the manga, Chapters 22 and 23 were made so that they took place in the same day in the anime.
  • Noko snoring "Deer" repeatedly in her sleep is exclusive to the anime.
  • Like her silhouette cameo in "Deer Meets Dark Girl", Neko making a callback to this (and confirming that it was indeed her) is exclusive to the anime.
  • The manga states how all three of the new student council members are planning to disband the Deer Club, when in the anime, the narrator only mentions how just one of the three plans on doing so.
  • The scene wherein Kinu says she would commit seppuku if the minor mistakes she made snowballed into the entire school hating her is visually exaggerated in the anime.
  • In the anime, Neko thinks to herself how both Kinu and Chiharu are doing a good job at putting the pressure on Koshi, but in the manga, she only talked about how Kinu glaring at Koshi does the work.
  • The brief scene of Noko attracting a couple of butterflies before Koshi pulls her aside to tell her not to expose her past as a delinquent is exclusive to the manga.
  • Anko and Bashame swarming Tsubameya and promptly getting the former two kicked out by Koshi is exclusive to the anime.
  • The scene wherein Noko butts in and shows Tsubameya the "club activities" that includes footage of Koshi singing in Chapter 10 is changed into footage of Koshi manhandling Tsunoda from the previous episode alongside other clips between Koshi and Tsunoda, due to the tenth chapter only being adapted later on in the anime.
    • This includes the exchange involving Tsubameya and Noko regarding the Deer Collection, which was also changed to fit the change of video clip/s.
    • Additionally, the respective reactions of Bashame and Anko (before getting kicked out a second time), as well as Tsunoda making a brief comeback cameo, are both anime-exclusives.
      • In the anime, Tsunoda's name is only revealed in this episode rather than in his debut episode.
  • In the manga, Noko starts stacking bundles of deer crackers on Tsubameya's head, while in the anime, she dumps an entire canister of deer crackers onto her.
  • Koshi overcompensating to try and get a positive reaction out of Tsubameya towards her is exclusive to the anime.
  • The additional scene of Tsunoda chewing at the school yard's grass is also anime-exclusive.
  • Because the anime adapted Chapter 15 in a later episode, this cameo marks the first time the Swallow Cafe is shown in the anime, as opposed to what would have been an adaptation of the aforementioned chapter.
    • It is also worth noting that it was her brother, Tsubameya Yoshiharu, who is shown reacting surprised and asking what made his sister blush so happily after she returns from school. However, in the anime, this was an offscreen voice instead.
      • In the anime, the cafe was also made into a hybrid of also being the Tsubameya family household.
  • In the manga, Kinu and Koshi were tasked to check up on the gym's inventory and supplies, while the anime had an added scene wherein Kinu bumps into Koshi in the hallway on accident.
  • The scene of two staff members accidentally locking the storage room door while Koshi and Kinu were still inside is drawn as a flashback in the manga.
  • Tanukikoji's thought process of what would happen to her and Koshi if they stayed locked in the storage room forever is visually exaggerated in the anime.
  • Noko's original song about a lost deer cracker she finds and takes in is turned into a full-length music video with additional lyrics in the anime.
  • In the anime, Koshi (in addition to Anko, Meme, and even Chiharu) joins Kinu and Noko in eating the rice with the mushrooms Noko has harvested from earlier, while in the manga, Koshi just stares at Kinu and Noko in shock.
    • As a result, an additional anime-exclusive scene of Neko waiting by her lonesome in the student council room is added.

Cultural References[]

  • The search engine Koshi uses, called Guugle, is a reference to Google.
  • During the scene where Noko catches Kinu hiding in her mushroom harvest, the jump sound effect from the Mario franchise is heard.
  • In the original, Bashame asks Chiharu if she would like Akita Komachi rice or Yumepirika rice. Akita Komachi is a rice brand based in the Akita Prefecture, while Yumepirika is a brand known for manufacturing rice in Hokkaido, Japan.
  • In the original, Noko says to herself how she's confident her original song would get her into the Kohaku, or even the Record Taisho Awards. The Kohaku, or formally known as the Kohaku Uta Gassen, is a real-life annual television special aired annually on New Year's Eve in Japan, while the Record Taisho Awards, better known as the Japan Record Awards (Nihon Rekodo Taisho), is a similar annual music awards show established in 1959.
  • In the English dub, when Kinu talks about how the story of her and Koshi getting locked up in the storage room will be told, she makes a reference to how people, usually content creators, make videos with clickbait thumbnails.
  • The scene of Kinu accidentally hiding in Shikanoko's mushroom harvest resulting in her having a head full of mushrooms may be a parallel to the Zombie Land Saga episode, "But It's Sentimental Saga", wherein Junko Konno, a timid light-haired girl with a similar hairstyle, starts hiding from her friends in a locked room after circumstances leading her to become momentarily depressed, resulted in mushrooms growing on her head due to her being isolated for so long.
  • Kinu says she would commit seppuku in front of the schoolgrounds; Seppuku is a form of taking one's own life that was considered honorable among the samurai during feudal Japan.

Continuity[]

  • Neko's cameo as a silhouette in "Deer Meets Dark Girl" is confirmed in this episode.
  • Clips of Koshi interacting with Tsunoda from the previous episode are shown.
    • Koshi questioning Noko how she got ahold of these clips is also a callback to the previous episode of how, during the introduction of Tsunoda, the episode emphasizes him in four different camera angles.
    • Noko's singing abilities is also first sampled in the previous episode, but is highlighted in this episode.
  • During Noko's music video of Let's Settle Down in Hino, the scene where Noko is brushing her teeth while in her PJs is the same PJs during the hypothetical scenario she made Koshi imagine in "Girl Meets Deer" when the latter was being haunted by Noko's ghost.

Errors[]

  • The anime-only change made to the video clips Noko shows Tsubameya involving Koshi makes the negative response by Noko confusing, as in the manga, this was originally Koshi trying to dismiss her practice-singing for the Deer Collection "as a joke" (which Noko takes very seriously), but instead was about Koshi singing to Tsunoda which Koshi dismisses "as a joke".
  • Despite the episode title and synopsis allegedly focusing on how "one of the members of the student council (excluding Koshi) wanted to disband the Deer Club", the episode completely skips the chapter that focuses on Neko attempting to do so.
  • The narrator in the dub uses past-tense when speaking about the secret of the three newest members of the student council.
  • In the dub, when Koshi was reacting to the storage room door opening, she says "A door!" as opposed to "The door!", as if a door just appeared out of nowhere rather than someone having opened it.
  • The mushrooms that the girls end up eating are not the same mushrooms Noko was secretly growing in the gym storage.
    • It is also worth noting that it's because the ones grown by Noko are technically poisonous.
      • Despite this, Kinu did not seem to be affected, as she was hiding in the vault box with them.
