So, I was watching some anime and one of my firends asks me what I think is the funniest? So I thought I'd pass on the question.
My Vote goes to Excel Saga... only they could have the main character die 4 times in the first episode.
-
excel was my fav until I saw FLCL... after that excel just didn't seem as kooky anymore =/
Dragon Half has had whole rooms of people in hysterics though =D
-
Slayers, Ranma 1/2 i don't have a favorite :p
-
if you're looking for straight nonsensical humor you might want to check out
Azumanga Daioh
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (You may want to see Full Metal Panic! Season one to get the whole story line first)
Humor with somewhat of a story line
Green Green
-
Ogenki Clinic is really funny, if you've seen it you get it ^_^
-
Dragon Half has had whole rooms of people in hysterics though =D
SO seconded. CRUSHING PRESS!
-
/me starts downloading FLCL , it better be good :p
-
FLCL is my all-time favorite anime hands down. You won't be disappointed.
-
flcl will cause your brain to explode
(guitar/robot may or may not come out)
-
How do you die four times in one episode?
-
the universe entity keeps bringing you back to life since you never really finished what you were supposed to do in the first place so ya that is how you die 4 times in one episode.
anyways flcl is great but as lf and gem mentioned dragon half will keep the whole room laughing till it hurts
-
You'll have to watch it to find out LB. Just watch the first episode and you'll be LYAO. ^_^
-
Dragon Half=pure, unrestrained hilarity/sillyness
Azumanga Daioh is also good, if you want some non-chaotic non-warped humor....
The slayers saga isn't incredibly funny, but it has a good blend of humor and plot imop...
Oh, does Family Guy count as anime? (j/k olo)
-
slayers is fun but I wouldn't class it as comedy... unless you're watching the OAVs XD
For Slayers funnies you need slayer book of spells plus... the new one... that i forgot the name of ^^;
My favourite eps are jeffrey's knighthood and the golem or dragon ones.
I hear some of the latest ones even make fun of the matrix o.O
-
slayers is fun but I wouldn't class it as comedy...
I didn't, I'm just saying it has its moments...
but yeah, I guess that did need clarification... :blink:
-
Midori No Hibi manga and anime are extremly funny too :p
-
don't touch the midori no hibi anime, it sucks compared to the manga :/
-
flcl will cause your brain to explode

And a giant iron , dont forget the iron.... *brain explode*
-
Big O.
I mean just that walk *bewm* *bewm* *bewm* has me rolling :D, and then theres the one hit punch kill..... and the evil robots heh, they look a bit fruity hehe! The seriousness of that guy in the suit is quite funny too because he's more serious than batman, even his jokes are serious!
-
the anime is still good, i like seeing mangas in animation even if they arn't as good in story as the manga
-

I haven't read the manga yet, but the anime is great. One of my favourites already. :D
My all-time favourite anime is Chobits, it's hilarious and cute through most of the series. After that, it's cute and romantic. <3 <3 <3 <3 * 100000
After that comes Midori no Hibi and Love Hina. I should probably try to fit Popotan on my list somewhere, but it was really average.

How i see a 'cute' anime girl (Caution : eyes may seem smaller in this pic)
"kawaii" (http://www.ahavell.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/kawaii.jpg) :p
-
Thanks for the avatar, Sonic.
-
pleasure ^_^
-
the other person in the olo thread picture says that excel saga was obscenely funny, belay that
effing hilarious
-
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
haha, yes! I was watching this a bit a few days ago. Very funny indeed.
-
Hmm, Excel Saga and FLCL are definitely up there with the funniest anime, but Puni Puni Poemi is up there too, but that's a bit of a cheat since it's entirely linked to Excel Saga. You must watch it if you're a fan of Excel Saga.
DiGi Charat is also really funny, as is Great Teacher Onizuka. :)
-
Just watched dragon half , wasnt as funny as i expected it to be but there were still some funny parts , perhaps its just me :p
-
Wait... Slayers? Not comedy? Are we talking about the same "Slayers"? The one with the crazy sorceress (Lina) and the braindead swordsman (Gourry)? The one with the fanatical righteousness-and-justice devotee (Amelia) and the violent pacifist prince (Philionel)? Not comedy? Not... comedy? You must be kidding. Just because it's not comedy ALL of the time doesn't mean that it isn't comedy. It's definitely comedy most of the time. Comedy. Get it? Comedy. Comedy.
I demand an explanation.
-
Slayers is funny but it's not written with the express reason of being funny... the funny stuff is just a side-part to the story which is faaar from comedy. Ok so the anime isn't quite as deep and intricate as the novels but still... :p
The OAVs on the other hand (lina and naga; based before she met gourry) are definitely comedy =D
-
Well, yeah... The story is not comedy. But still, I'd say that it's still 2/3 comedy or something like that. When Lina, Gourry and Amelia have to sail across the ocean to some-place-I-forgot-the-name-of and have to dress up in order to conceal their identities? And they dress up Gourry like a woman (how can he complain? His fault for having hair like that...)? There's not a single part of that episode that is not comedy. And that's just the first one that came to mind.
So Slayers is not written with the intent of being funny? And it's still hilarious? Sounds like a good kind of funny to me. Wonder what'd happen if they'd really try to be funny.
