I've gone through all the suggestions for hilarious anime, but I'm itching for more..
Here are some of the "Hilarious" series that I'm following now:
- Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe - Dokkoida - Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu - Sakigake!! Cromartie High Can you suggest some other hilarious series similar to these? P.S: I've seen/given up on the following: - Ranma - Masaru-san (Sexy commando?) - Golden Boy - Abenobashi Shoutengai - Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu - Ebichu - Papuwa Thanks for your time. |

I doubt if Azumanga Daioh would fit here. While it is quite hilarious, the comedy is not delivered in an explicit manner. Most of the comedy is deadpan and pretty subtle (sort of like the proverbial dry British humour).

Azumanga fits

I challenge you to retract your statement. Azumanga Daioh is 3rd on my list of favorite anime's right behind Evangelion and Escaflowne. and my number 1 comedy pick. My opinion, but it definately deserves to be on the list. besides, all they specify was hilarious. they didn't say comedy. -C.S. |

Wow, a foaming-at-the-mouth otaku. Never met one for quite some time.

Also, please note that you've basically conceded my point, where you did admit that the series has, in your words, subtle indirect and dry comedy, which contradicts your assertion that the comedy is delivered in a very explicit manner. The dialogue comedy you hinted at is not as hilarious as the subtle ones by Osaka, Sakaki and perhaps the rest of the cast, with the exception of their loud-mouthed teacher, who may be funny to some, but not all.

And I would like to bring your attention to the OP, which says some of the "Hilarious" series that I'm following now (note the emphasis on hilarious), and on his choice of examples, like Cromatorie High, FMP Fumoffu, and Dokkaida. And his other list has Ranma 1/2 and Ebichu. I think it is fair to say that what he had in mind is hilarity of the Jim Carrey kind, slapstick and obvious sight gags. A subtle anime, like Azumanga Daioh, which I'd normally recommend, is out of place in such a list. So, maybe next time you'd care to understand the discussion more, and perhaps try to understand that even the best shows may not be the best ones to recommend, especially if the OP hints that it might not be appropriate. |

Uh...anyways, thanks for your suggestions, everyone (Though I didn't enjoy Azumanga Daioh anime at all [Manga was way better, and that's not saying much]).

Still, I really appreciate all your suggestions. I'm also looking forward to more from people. |

How about Kero Kero Chime? I think it's hilarious. The first few episodes are so-so, but when the adventure really starts, every episode made me laugh so much!
btw, I think Azumanga Daioh is funny. Kinda plotless, but sometimes simplicity has its beauty. I esp love the parts about the class teacher. |

I've read GTO manga before, and I have to say it's a lot better than the anime. What makes the GTO manga great is all the amusing sub-texts that are in it.
Btw, Maburaho was terrible. It felt like a rip-off of Psychic Academy and Love Hina/Other various "boy gets 3+ girls for no reason" crap. Worse of all, it's not even funny. I could've picked a better series by randomly downloading something with my eyes closed. Please, I'm asking for a good suggestion here. I'm happy with one great hilarious series, as opposed to a bunch of mediocre/boring series. Thanks for your time. |

Puni Puni Poemi - 2 episode OVA's. (Any more would have been TOO much.) This is hard to describe but it is extremely fast paced (chaotic even) parody. Extreme parody. It has the advantage of being a short enough series that you don't have time to get sick of the overused jokes. Tenshi na Konamaiki - I almost always recomend this series when the topic is comedy. This series is a gender-bender with a twist that has some very funny situational and physical comedy. The animation style seems to turn off some people, but it only phased me for a couple of episodes, then I was hooked. Now I wait eagerly for each new release (up to episode 30 of 52). Anyway, humor is really subjective, but based on what you had listed these seemed spot on. Zoya |

If you like Excel Saga you will like Puni Puni Poemi. It's by the same Director Watanabe, who is the afro guy in both series. Yes the director DOES dress like that in normal life, I can't remember if Excel was mentioned yet, but Excel Saga is a 26 episode tv series. Although I believe ep 26 could'n't be shown on tv for it's just wrongness. I just thought of this one, which is why I'm posting... heh... Just thought I mention Excel since someone mention poemi... Nurse Witch Kamugichan Episodes = ???? only 2.5 out so far It's a magical girl show, sorta... It's somewhat along the lines of Puni Puni Poemi, but paced slower with what resembles more of an actual plot than a straight parody. If you took Sailor Moon season 4 and Puni Puni and mixed em together with a bit of card captor sakura on the side, thats about acurate feel I'd say. If you are really sick and depraved you can watch Ping Pong Club but don't say I didn't warn you. and thats all I'll say about that. Though, if you want a feel for the series Ping Pong CLub, do a search for "Anime Nashville" search thier site, they have a anime music video called "young boys" which is without a doubt the undisputed world's sickest nastiest AMV ever made. If anyone has seen this video and disagrees, please let me know the name of the video thats worse. for.. uh... avoidance yeah thats it... -C. S. |
