It's an anime about a guy who develops really heavy anxiety issues and becomes a "hikikomori," a person who withdraws from society.
Not only is it hilarious, it'll make you feel a lot better about your own life in comparison to the protagonist of the anime.
.. you're both cruel. it may be funny to outsiders, but it's soul crushing to watch if you can relate to it. that was the most depressing anime i'd ever seen.Lilani said:And I second the vote for Welcome to the NHK.PedroSteckecilo said:-snip-
if you can relate, and you want to be cheered up, don't watch it. stay away from it.PedroSteckecilo said:I dunno... might end up feeling too sorry for the main character to laugh at it, I know what it's like to lose control of your anxiety and neurosis... though that might also make it a better watch knowing what the characters are going through.Dirty Hipsters said:"Welcome to the NHK"
I second this. If you're anything like the main character, you won't be laughing that often. Me myself, you could say that i have a lighter case of whatever the protagonist of NHK had. I mean, all of those paranoid thoughts he has, a lot of those i can relate to. Not the whole "conspiracies everywhere!" part, but more like, "everyone on the streets is laughing at me behind my back", "my life is a failure", and so on. So, yeah. It was a very very good anime, with an awesome soundtrack, but wouldn't call it very funny. It was depressing as hell, quite often.Akytalusia said:Dirty Hipsters said:"Welcome to the NHK"

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.
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?

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.

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.

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.
