I had a feeling someone would beat me to it, but that's okay.Ace O said:Because no one has mentioned this yet: Cromartie High School
It has no plot, it has no structure, it has no sense ... but it does have Freddie!!
it is one of the funniest things around. It's quite like Excel Saga that's been mentioned already, except more random
DUDE!!! GINTAMA!!!!!!!!PedroSteckecilo said:Howdy all...
I've been feeling out of sorts lately and I could use some laugh packed animation to brighten my mood. I'd prefer something in the "full on comedy" genre rather than something that is also funny like Trigun, Samurai Champloo or Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.

PedroSteckecilo said:I dunno where shows like Gurren Lagann fit on my comedy o' meter... I guess I'd primarily class Gurren Lagaan in with things like FMA or Trigun since most of the second half of the series is fairly serious... in an over the top action mecha kind of way... not really a "pure comedy" as in the end it has a 50/50 mix of Comedy/Action-Drama rather than being slanted more towards comedy.Fappy said:I would call it Gurren Lagann funny if I had to compare it to another anime. It really is the perfect blend of action and comedy with the "serious" moments invoking more humor than anything else (even deaths of important good guys).PedroSteckecilo said:Would you say it's Slayers/Nadesico funny or like Full Metal Alchemist/Trigun/Cowboy Bebop funny?Fappy said:Does Jojo's Bizarre Adventure count? It's pretty fucking hilarious despite being action-oriented.
Essentially while Slayers and Nadesico had serious moments I would call them Comedy Series's overall whereas FMA/Trigun/Cowboy Bebop were "more serious" series's that happen to also be quite funny.
FLCL is something I've always considered more about the surrealism than the comedy... but I guess it's a comedy... hard to class it as anything else...
But yeah, I've seen Gurren Lagann, FLCL and definitely want to stay away from "long form" shows like Naruto or One Piece which spend more time drawn out melodramatic battles than making jokes, for the record I do enjoy those shows when they're funny... but generally I don't consider them Comedies because of how much time they devote to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT and character melodrama.
I see what you did thar... nice try but I'm familiar with what Madoka Magica really is.Gone Rampant said:Oh dude, you should so check out Madoka Magica! Funniest thing this side of the moon, trust me.
Assuming I haven't done my research eh, all I've ever heard about Clannad is that it's super sad.Darknacht said:Clannad is a hilarious slice of life anime, especially the second season(After Story).
Well, the way it goes is every arc of the show starts out really happy with a comedic overtone for the first 2 episodes or so, and then gets progressively more depressing with each episode until you want to kill yourself, then the arc ends (after about 6 episodes) and goes back to being funny for a few episodes.PedroSteckecilo said:Assuming I haven't done my research eh, all I've ever heard about Clannad is that it's super sad.Darknacht said:Clannad is a hilarious slice of life anime, especially the second season(After Story).

So parts of it definitely could be classified as a comedy.
Its that too, its hilarious, super sad, and heart warming. I find the combination perfect for when you feel out of sorts.PedroSteckecilo said:Assuming I haven't done my research eh, all I've ever heard about Clannad is that it's super sad.Darknacht said:Clannad is a hilarious slice of life anime, especially the second season(After Story).
