Click on the image for the original Top 10 Funniest Anime list
(Updated 2010) Originally posted on July 5th 2007, the “Top 10 Funniest Anime” has been by far the most popular post on my blog. It also have the most comments of anime fans giving thanks, throwing in their 2 cents and sharing their own favourites with others. There have also been cries for an updated list since last year – after all, the original list was created 2 years before that.
So after all the pushing, nudging and encouragement (especially WIZ and Vini) the new list is finally here!
Yes, it took me a looooong time to get the new top 10 sorted out. Believe it or not, I actually spent half a year re-watching most of the series in the old list so I could judge better against the newer series that was released after that.
And while some of the old series still made it back to the top 10, you will find plenty of new funny anime have conquered my list.
The usual disclaimer: This list is based on MY preference, on what I watched, what I liked and what I thought deserved to be here. I want to share with you on what I believe are excellent and funny anime series you should watch if you ever want a good laugh.
These are the series that always made me laughed till my tears came out, or at the very least puts a smile to my face even when I’m feeling down. Don’t underestimate the power of laughter!
Also, just because a series ranked higher than another doesn’t mean I prefer it over the lower ranking ones. It just means that I believe it to be funnier – this is a top 10 list of funniest anime, not my top 10 favourite anime. If you’re looking for that, check out the “What’s Hot” section on the sidebar for my yearly best 10. They’re always somewhere there.
And so the rants ends here. Let the show begin…
#10 Akazukin Cha Cha

- Little Red Riding Hood + Magical Girl = Cha Cha
- Huge and diversified cast, yet most are memorable
- Cha Cha & Co. can be really silly sometimes most of the time
- Still surprises me how the first 2 seasons of the anime is filler content, and they are also the best parts of the entire series. Goes to show fillers might not be so bad after all, eh?
#9 Hayate no Gotoku

- Debt ridden butler who seems to attract trouble and misfortune
- Lots of parodies and references to other anime and manga series
- Great animation quality
- Can really be over the top sometimes – in a good way
#8 K-ON!

- Mio~~ Moe Moe Kyun~
- Superb music! (Don’t Say “LAZY”)
- Starts out rather slow, takes a few episodes before it really hooks you in, thanks to Mio
- Animation quality quite a let down, especially coming from KyoAni
#7 Ouran High Host Club

- Rich bastards with no common sense
- Poor guy girl with weird common sense
- Still think it’s one of the best anime/manga ever
- Can’t think of anything bad at all about Host Club, really…
#6 History’s Strongest Disciple, Kenichi

- Useless, no talent disciple training under the world’s best martial artists
- Ryouzanpaku masters are just insane – in more sense than one
- Great balance between comedy and action
- Sadly, the anime ended right before one of the best arcs in the manga
#5 Baka to Test to Shokanju

- Brand new anime from 2010
- School where students can summon avatars whose strength are directly linked to their test scores
- It’s so damn stupid, but oh so damn funny!
- The summoned beings are cute and funny too
- Great tear-jerker… and I mean tears of laughter, of course
#4 Ranma 1/2

- Boy who turns to girl when splashed with cold water
- Completely whacky cast and story
- Over 160 episodes (including movies and OAVs) and yet managed to be funny almost every episode (trust me, not an easy feat)
- Classic that will never die
Now, For The Top 3
Before we move on to the top 3, I just need to say this…
It took me a very long time and a lot of thinking, debating and rewatching to come up with the current order. I even thought of making it a 3-way tie for the title of Funniest Anime, but that didn’t felt quite right either.
These 3 series are just as good as the other and just as hilarious. I kept switching the top 3 spots between them as I made this update before finally deciding on this order.
All 3 deserved to be winners, but unfortunately each position can only be occupied by one show…
#3 Full Metal Panic FUMUFFO!

(Yes, the previous Funniest Anime title holder has been pushed down to #3! Oh noes!)
- Top secret mercernary on a mission with no common sense thrown into normal everyday life with not so normal situations
- Extreme opposite of the serious Full Metal Panic and FMP The Second Raid
- It was, and still is, one of the funniest anime around so far
- Bonta-kun exo-suit FTW!

#2 Lucky Star

- Omigosh! It’s… us!?
- Tons of parodies and references to otaku, gamers, other anime and mangas
- Funny and interesting cast
- Makes you go “holy shit! I do that!” and “hey! I know what you mean!”
- I just can’t get bored of watching Lucky Star x3
- Chocolate cornet…

#1 Minami-ke (Season 1)

- Chiaki-sama~~~
- Lovable cast (Chiaki-sama~~~)
- “This is just the plain depiction of the days of the lives of the three Minami sisters. Please don’t expect too much.” The series tells you exactly what it is at the start of every episode lol
- Epic chase scene in first episode
- Forget Okawari (2nd season) ever existed, even skip it altogether!
- Okaeri (season 3) redeemed Minami-ke somewhat, but the first season is still the best and funniest
- Just can’t really get bored of season 1 and season 3 (like I said, forget season 2 ever existed and you’ll be fine!)
- Minami-ke At It’s Best!

And there you have it!
My Top 10 Funniest Anime list as of early 2010. I’ll definitely update this again in the future to keep it updated, but don’t worry… If you’re craving for more funny anime to watch, here are a few more to keep you company until the next update!
These are all shows that I’ve watched (at least a few episodes) that I find to be both entertaining and funny. While they didn’t make the top 10 or was dropped from the list doesn’t mean they aren’t great – it just means the competition for the list is just that tough!
Here they are, in no particular order of preference:
- Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
- Chobits
- Zero no Tsukaima
- Love Hina
- Slam Dunk
- Nyan-koi
- Seitokai no Ichizon
- Midori no Hibi
- Fruits Basket
- Hetalia Axis Powers
- Shugo Chara
- Ladies vs Butlers
- Honey and Clover
- Kobato.
- Yakitate Japan
- Toradora
- Azumanga Daioh
- Seto no Hanayome
- Kamen no Maid Guy
- Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)
- Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun
- Slayers series
- Rosario + Vampire
- Lovely Complex
- School Rumble
Originally, I wanted to add something extra with this update, but I couldn’t find the time to sit down and get it done. I won’t reveal what is it just yet because I still plan on doing it when I get the chance, hopefully within the next few weeks or next couple of months. How’s that for something to look forward to?

You forgot Cromartie High School and Genshiken.
I haven’t watched those before, will have to give them a try
Thanks for bringing them up.
You should watch Yakitate Japan. It will blow the rest out of the water.
Oh yes, I actually forgot about Yakitate Japan, silly me. Can’t believe I actually missed it while I was going through my list.
I really enjoyed Yakitate, it’s very funny especially the afro jokes, but I would rank it around #7 or #8 if I were to re-do this list now.
Dude.. what about Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu?
I did mention that the list is limited to what I’ve watched before, but I will be looking up the others that have been suggested and will be doing an update for this list in the near future
So now I have 3 new anime in my “To Watch” list:
* Cromartie High School
* Genshiken
* Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu
Thanks for the suggestion!
thank god finally someone puts akazukincha cha in their comedy list. it’s so underrated people just go azumanga daioh is DA FUNNIEST ANIME EVER!!! ~~ not true.
Kenichi Rocks… Glad you had it in yr top 3 list.. pure comedy.. APA…
Yeah Apachai rocks lol
I love full metal panic fumoffu it’s the best anime out there and diserves to be in the top spot
I’m glad you agree
FMP is a great series and hopefully there would be a fourth season coming soon.
try 2x2shinobuden….
Excel Saga!!!
gakuen alice is funny too! and it has the cool side.
I’ve never watched Excel Saga or Gakuen Alice before. I’ll make sure to give them a try before I update the list
i think Slam Dunk should be in the list as well
Funny you should mention Slam Dunk the day after I finished doing a marathon on rewatching Slam Dunk lol.
I think Nodame Cantabile should be there. But since it’s new maybe you haven’t watched it yet. I suggest you watch this one since i think it’s funnier than kenichi.
hye
Fumofu is No 1. funniest anime?? yeah, no doubt about it…can exchange link? thx
If you haven’t watched Goldenboy, you haven’t truly lived. I recommend you watch it and then rethink your list.
OMG… you don’t have “School Rumble” on that List… what have you been neglecting… it’s down right hilarious it’d probably be in the top ten, I’d personally rank it my most Fav Funny Anime.
The cloest anime that it’s similar to, I can think of is Ranma 1/2 without the harem and the transformations.
If you are looking for an amazingly funny anime I have got to suggest Pani Poni Dash! It’s recent, but fabulous. The artwork is beautiful, the characters unbelieveable, and try watching it in both English and Japanese. I find the English version much funnier, but some might be offended by the bad dubbing, I just think it adds that special kick. WHO-HA!!!
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll take a look at it
I’ve heard of the name before, but it sounded too much like “My Little Pony” so I’ve never bothered lol
I owe u one big time, i just finished Ouran High School Host Club and I loved it thanks for the recomendation.
Glad you enjoyed it
Try Gintama most random and funny show u’ll ever see…Hitman Reborn is pretty funny too…
Thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely check it out
vote for Full Metal Panic anime !!
1.his and her circumstances
i want 2 include this anime series in the most funniest anime pls. vote 4 his and her circumstances
Another Reccomendation, “Lovely Complex” (2007).
It may remind you of Ouran High but without the harem, it’s REALLY FUNNY…. I thought it was so funny that even the sad scenes were hilarious because I felt they were over exaggerated, or maybe I’m a guy who’s just insensitive to the main heroine.
lol that sounds like something I might really like, actually. Now that I’ve gotten a new laptop, I could probably start hunting around for them.
but… what about gintama????
i agree with joe didulo.. his and her cicumstances is definitely the best!!! by the way… i started watching some of the animes you placed on your list and i was hooked!!! especially shugo chara!! kawaii anime!! thank you!!!
I love azumanga daioh and ouran ~! >__< Also try ‘Lovely Complex’, its hilarious~~
I agree Fumoffu being the funniest. Did anybody mentioned ‘School Rumble’ ,’Midori no Hibi’and ‘Mahoraba’? It’s top ten in my list.
GTO Great teacher Onizuka should be on there somewhere, hilarious anime.
i will watch the anime taht u have mention…
uh~ feel happy!!
i think u should put katekyoushi hitman reborn too…
that anime is superb!!
Damn I don’t know about this…
Do you make mistake? I just know there are two sessions
FMP, and FMP second raid
the fumoffu one is another story. It’s not included
So maybe what you mean is the 3rd raid (third session)
my fav one is School Rumble!! of course. I found it really funny, even after many times watching(actually sometimes it has weird scenes).
I and my friend were laughing really hard all the times.
U should try it. U waste your time not watching this!!!
Fumoffu can be considered the 2nd season of FMP since it came out in between FMP and TSR.
you havent seen bokusatsu tenshi dokuro-chan obviously… lol that sh!t is so random…
Have you ever tried Minami-ke?
It’s a short anime (containing 13 or so episodes), but hilarious. Not to mention, great graphics. The drawing portrays their character well. Some of the characters are just so…dang overrated. I mean that in a good way.
I’m a HUGE fan of Minami-ke. If you check out my post Best of Anime 2007, you will find that it’s at the top spot.
I did this about almost a year ago and it hasn’t been updated with the newer shows since then. Must remember to update this soon.
Ranma really deserve it….in fact it should be the top one.. but of course everyone have their tastes …Ranma is a very classic anime
people that don’t like old anime should watch the first episode and u will get hooked ^_^…but ranma ends really badly in the anime
but good in manga
Quote “OMG… you don’t have “School Rumble†on that List… what have you been neglecting… it’s down right hilarious it’d probably be in the top ten, I’d personally rank it my most Fav Funny Anime.”
I agree where is School Rumble and School Rumble 2????
I will also add seto-no-hanayome!!! Trust me Is very funny!!!!
oh my god, if you’re looking for a funny anime, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is for you. its also called. the wallflower. WATCH IT NOW!!!
I just finished watching yamato nadeshiko, its not really awesome but i’d still give it a 5/5 cause of the concept of the story and it definitely made me laugh.
I also agree, for FMP fumofu to be number one, i still cant forget the episodes there about football and the biochem, it turned me inside out! Ouran high, chobits,yamato nadeshiko deserves it too. I like katekyo hitman reborn because of the story and the action, it will make you laugh because of the daily routine that they have but i dont think it will make it to the top 10 for the category of being funny.
BTW Neko Kyou, email me:
stephen_ray_07@yahoo.com
I have some questions for you, and probably gonna ask for some recommendations.!!!
Quote ase: “oh my god, if you’re looking for a funny anime, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is for you. its also called. the wallflower. WATCH IT NOW!!!”
Isn’t that the #10 on this list?
Watch Sumomomo Momomo and school rumble…those should be on the spot…I think u should take out fruit basket….when i watch it it give me headach..for the main character’s problem…doesn’t give me any laughter
How about GTO(Great Teacher Onizuka)? If it was me I’d place it in top 3
Now i finally get it….everyone have their taste of anime…there is no top 10 for everyone that can agree on..but we have to accept other people’s opinion
Dude, you like Totaly forgot Yakitate Japan
Yah.. Love lucky star.. The Best..! You rock!
Yakitate Japan!
Haruhi Suzumiya! Yeah!
School Rumble Second Sem!
Mahoraba!
Negima!
Color Cloud Palace.. Though its more on love story!
I was really really surprised when you said that Ouran high school host club has a really good ending. Because to me its one of the worst endings for an anime. That might be mostly because I’ve read all the manga online and new chapters are still coming out. So the anime is total crap because its so short and it goes in a different direction than the manga(manga way is better). I recommend that people read the Ouran manga! its one of my favs ^^
Ooh here i am again, and yeah, GTO and Yakitate Japan Were forgotten.!!!!
hey! who made this list? it is so wrong! rurouni kenshin must be included here! maybe you don’t know how to watch anime do ya? Full metal and RUROUNI kenshin are the funniest anime ever! you dont know how to choose the right funniest anime… and by the way, you forgot YAKITATE JAPAN! YAMATO NADESHIKO IS SO CORNY! I always hate that… You know, for me it’s not funny… It’s annoying FOR ME! I dont know if you guys think so…
I love Shaman King!
Did you forget to count naruto?
wow!! it’s so amazing and i’m so happy that yamato nadeshiko shichi henge was on the list of the ten funniest anime…………even if its on the last spot it do belong….hahahahaha
wow that’s cool because two days ago i just finished full metal panic! fumoffu, it have made me laugh so hard in rugby training and i love how sagara use bad words, and i love wallflower and ouran too. i’ll try to watch some animes you metioned there. and there’s other anime, number 2 top of my “comdey” anime favorite list, it’s called Mamoru-kun ni megami no shukufuku wo! it’s so funny but after i watched full metal panic, i relaized that it’s more funnier than mamoru-kun ni megami no shukufuku wo!, it’s about a girl, one of three top beatrice (name of a power) god,her name is Ayako. she’s around 17 years old so, in school, everybody was afraid of her because she is very scary and break many things but one day, a small, cute boy named Mamoru (he looked like 8-10 years old but quess what? he’s 16.) he approached Ayako unfearless. Ayako have a crush on him and yell at him to go out with her front of everybody, Mamoru said yes so the story begins with their funny moments with the student council.
This is the first time I recognized this anime and it surprised me. Especially Full Metal Panic Fumoffu the artwork is beautiful, but of course everyone has their tastes.
Dude! where’s Gintama?!
no Ojamaju Doremi? I thought that anime movie is also good for laugh too ^^. Anyways, thanks for the list, now I have something fun to watch XD
Neko Kyou, since you made this list maybe you should update it or make a new(bigger)one. There are too many great anime you left out. You could make a poll and let everyone decide what the top 10 should be, and then add the rest with no particular description because your list has become like the nr 1 Top 10 funniest anime list on google
People come here looking for funny anime (I’m one of them ^^)
Think about it
P.S. Don’t forget school rumble
Regards, WIZ
lol, thank you so much for postin those anime, i rofled so many times, but i think instead of top 10 funniest anime, you should do a top 15 or 20 because there are so many funny ones left out, like inukami! XD
P.S. stephen, thats my name
aww, I’ve seen all these shows and none of them made me laugh…
yes people It takes a lot for me to laugh
OMG! fruits basket is very funny i agree, but it has very many sad moments, that can even make you cry T.T. It’s the first anime i ever watched that brought forth luaghter and tears, it is truly a good show ^^
Ouran high skool too!!! its ultra funny ^^ i LOVE how tamaki meets haruhi’s father in such a way XD
Where is golden boy
A question… Where is Pani Poni dash…?? IMO it was funnier then Azumanga daioh (which IMO was a really funny anime)…???
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is very good ill try other animes too
but try watching “Lovely Complex” and “Final Approach”
WHY ISN’T GINTAMA ON THE LIST IT OUTCLASSES ALL OF THESE ALTHOUGH THESE ARE ALL FUNNY IT IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN! People please take my word for it.
hey how about maburaho?????
it’s still funny right?
You’re missing GTO and School rumble
I’m always looking for new films for my kids to watch during the day, whilst my wife does the housework (i’m at work by the way!)
So this list is very much appreciated!
hey u might try watching galaxy angel and naruto.. your top 10 sure is accurate
I really need to update this list. There’s been quite a few anime I’ve watched since the first time I wrote this and I’d say some of the shows in the list have lost their spot on it.
And there are also anime being suggested that I’ve yet to watch, so the list should be an evolving one
Galaxy Angels is not bad, but while Naruto can be very funny at times, it just doesn’t belong in the “funniest anime” category IMO.
I’ll do an update on this list one of these days
This is my most popular post ever since I made it, so it deserves to get freshen up a little
Yes it does deserve to be updated ^_^. I am watching this thread really closely and I have to say it has been my nr. 1 source of information as far as funny anime goes, so THANK YOU. While you’re on it try adding Toradora
P.S: I think I said this before, it would be really wise to try and make a top 100 or 50 instead of just 10, ’cause even if the list isn’t going to be very accurate I’m sure it’s going to be a very valuable one for anime lovers all around the world
I’ll think about extending the list. Right now I need to find some free time and go through the anime on the list again.
I need to remind myself why they made it to the top 10 list in the first place, and how the newer shows would fit in.
Ye, you’re right. Anyways, If you need help let us know ^_^
i liked what you’ve posted in the top ten list:)
thanks for the comments too! hehe…
now i’ve got a lot of animes to watch that’d make me, hopefully, laugh my ass out:))
but, GOLDEN BOY is a must-watch anime..it’s pretty funny!!
the next time you know you’ll be rolling on the floor..
having been spitting saliva on the floor:))
haha…
anyways, thanks a lot. this helped me.^^
Seto no Hanayome would definitely change that list, you should watch it ASAP! I was actually looking for more anime to watch when I came across this, so thanks!
How about Sgt. Frog (Keroro) ? Also School Rumble.
I definitely have seen most of these animes and agree with the list whole heartedly (the ones I haven’t seen yet are 10, 9, and 5, and I have yet to finish Chobits). Ouran High School Host Club I’ve definitely seen more than 5 times too, and I just finished Kenichi. FMP Fumoffu I have yet to rewatch this year. Hilarious!
Wheres LOVELY COMPLEX?????? i mean seriously….. u should really include lovely complex… it’s like the beeeeeest of all the anime u listed!! but if u haven’t watched it yet, then u really,,,,, really,,,,, reeeeeeeeallly should!!!!
:D:D:D
but u’ve still got nice list btw… even though i haven’t watched half of what u listed..
) but i’ll watch them cause i bet they’re good…
:D
First of all thanks for the list. i always come here when i need a fun anime to watch to kill time. i got fmp fumoffu from here(will i saw it listed here then went and watch it)
to me its not really that funny. its like place 3-4.
try watching “desert punk” and “green green” it made me lauge so hard i started to tear. my favorite would be “desert punk” is number 1.
and yes i agree, with the other you should renew the list or make a top 50 insead of top 10 so other people can come and check out what’s a funny.
the only type of anime i like is the funny kind. i love comedies and romantic comedies. neko kyou u better check these out. if i wer to make a funny comedy list it would be:
1. Great Teacher Onizuka. pure comedy. no romance or anything. idk what ur doing making a comedy list without this.
2. Inukami! funniest romantic comedy iv ever seen in my life. giv the first 2 episodes a chance and ull really get into it.
3. full metal panic fumoffu. u got this on the list already.
4. slam dunk. man this is great. sakuragis stupidity never gets old. a mix between basketball and comedy. the comedy is awsome tho.
5. ranma 1/2. u got this already.
6. historys strongest disciple kenichi. u got this already
7. full metal panic and fmp the second raid. great storyline and comedy. romance as well. cant wait till the next season comes out as this is one of my favorite animes. just not the MOST funny.
8. gintama. this is a great comedy show.
9. lovely complex. romantic comedy. super funny at first and then becomes a bit romantic but doesnt let go of the comedy
i dont have any other good anime that are super funny worth mentioning but the ones i did are the best of the best. vandread is also an alright anime but not awsome. i just dont c whats so great about azumanga daioh, ouran, or fruits basket. i guess its cuz im a guy and i cant help finding them more stupid than funny. hope this list helps u on ur update neko kyou. post if it does.
I’ve added the following to my list of “to-watch” as I make a new list:
1. Lovely Complex
2. Seto no Hanayome
3. Inukami
4. Green Green
More suggestions are definitely welcomed. It saves me the time and trouble to go looking for them
School Rumble, Toradora, Nodame Cantabile, Slayers(old but really funny), Minami-ke, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. That’s it for now, you decide on the order, I’ll get back as soon as I remember more of them. Good luck!
Slayers, its was one of the earlier anime I watched. I’m not sure why I didn’t include it in the old list, maybe I just plain forgot about it.
Minami-ke and Haruhi are awesome, they’re not ranked as one of my favourites for no reason
I’ll say now that Minami-ke will definitely be on the new list. Haruhi, on the other hand, is more towards being interesting than funny. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Haruhi, but I’m not sure if it will make the top 10 as being funny.
So you’re still going with the top 10 huh, well as I said I just remembered some of them for you, and you decide on the list order/ranking. However if you haven’t watched Toradora or School Rumble you should definitely do it before you update the list, or you’ll probably be sorry afterward and have to make a whole new list ^_^
Your list is great obviously. Because i never watched these anime and gave a try for just one. Full metal panic Fumoffu. And tell you what! I just love this anime now. It’s because it is full of romantic comedy and I really want to see Sagara and Kaname be together.
Currently I am watching Second Raid and it is great too (some sad scenes when Kaname and Sagara are separated are just unbearable).
Wiz: I’ll stick with a top 10, but I’ll also list out others that didn’t make the cut. That means you get a top 10 like this current one, and another list of other great funny animes
(I just don’t want to break myself trying to rank 50 different anime)
kk: The Second Raid is awesome
Now if only they announce a new season for the series. It’s already way overdue and they actually hinted at it in Lucky Star.
I’ll actually be doing small updates on the progress of the new list on my twitter account so you might want to follow me to get them as they come
Works for me, I’m really more interested in the list names rather than the ranking. We all have our own concept about how a funny anime should be.
Perhaps, just for fun, you could make a poll with the rest of the anime, to see what others think about it.
Anyway, I’ll be waiting for the new list ^_^
Thank you for your post.
Some of your top list are REALLY funny, I RELLAY love them.
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is sure to be hilirious even though its drawing is not that good, it’ll be better with better sketch. Still, very funny.
Honey and Clover is dead hilirious in earlir part, but its funny part become ligther in the later part. However, it is one hell of a ROMANTIC story, it makes me cry a lot.
I also love, love, love Ranma 1/2 and Fruits & Baskets.
Ouran High School Host Club is the most favourite for me personally. I love its nice drawings, story line, VERY GREAT comedy and it’s nearly perfect in many aspects.
Since everyone’s taste is different, it’s impossible everyone to agree with this post.
I appreciate your effort.
Btw, ‘School rumble’ is really recommended to get a good laugh. >_<
Golden boy is funny and good to watch but its story is quite short and not likely to be in top 10.
I don’t gurantee GTO is in the funniest top list but it is a GREAT anime, strongly recommended to watch.
This is a good place to get to know other funny animes to try. Thank you to people who share them here too.
GTO Great Teacher Onizuka is a must see for me its the greatest comedy anime of all xD
lol i luv this xD!!
Ouran High school Host club is the funniest thing EVER!!!
From what I’ve seen, the top 10 list should be like this:
10. Ranma 1/2
9. Lucky Star
8. Pani Poni Dash!
7. Full Metal Panic
6. Great Teacher Onizuka
5. Ouran High School Host Club
4. Full Metal Panic
3. Slam Dunk
2. Azumanaga Dioh
1. Gintama
Zura janai Katsura da!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHbntMWpDHs
Your list is… debatable, but it’s almost the same with the original so… nah ^_^
Not a lot of american’s find Gintama and Yakitake japan funny…
crunchyroll does a shi**y job in subbing gintama… if you watch Gintama subbed by Rumbel subs…. you’ll see how funny it is… gags are funny as hell…. and i am from knoxville, TN
First of all i dont really fine FMP being the funniest, it do make me laugh here and there but its not the best.
i found School Rumble, and GTO funner, but thats just me, different people different comment. Oh yea and i agree with Dreamer, you should give Desert Punk and Green Green a go.
and just so you know Shaman King (show should i put this) will from what i know you can get Shaman king full english dubb somewhere, one of my friend got them (just finish watching it 2 night ago.
also your list is missing School Rumble and GTO
gintama should be #1!!!!!
I agree with mo-kun
If one cannot laugh after watching gintama, that person has no soul. Screw the lack of plot, characters do more than just make up for it…
They are LEGEN…
wait for it…
and i hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second half of the word is
DARY!
LEGENDARY!
i thnk gintama doesnt hav dat kind of exposure in states. it hasnt gained a lot of attention frm american audience… i think da shows been undermined for some reason by “stupid” americans
Then I really gotta give Gintama a watch
Neko Kyou, make sure you watch episodes subbed by rumbel subs. Crunchyroll is not very good.
omg there are like 115 episodes of Gintama and counting!
Are the front episodes just as good or do I have to watch further to see how good Gintama is?
If I have to watch everything up to the latest, I can tell that it’s still going to be a while before I can start updating this post lol
I started to watch gintama just now, probably at the same time Neko did, just to see what the big fuss is all about. I have to say it is a funny anime, but you guys are waaay overreacting. If all the episodes are as funny as the first ones I have to say the anime is definitely not the funniest one. OK, putting aside the fact that it doesn’t have a great plot, the characters are not that great, I’ve seen way better defined characters in Kenichi or GTO, the anime can’t even be compared it to animes like Slayers or Ouran host club, or Fummofu. So risking to start an arguing here, either you guys haven’t seen any better anime than Gintama, or your tastes greatly defers from mine(and the majority of the people that posted here already)
Sumomomo momomo and Seto no hanayome should be on the list or a close follow.
@ WIZ
You see, I’m not a die hard anime fan… I just watch main stream anime. And yes I’ve watched GTO, Ouran and fumoffu. Slayers and Fumoffu had too many clichés… I’d rather enjoy comedy animes like Yakitake Japan! or Gintama because they are closest to TV Sitcoms like HIMYM or Seinfeld or shows like Family Guy or Simpsons .
@ Neko Kyou
Gintama has sort of slow start until all the characters are involved… But it gets funnier with every episode… and the action is awesome too. Action+Parody+Fantasy=SMOKIN’
You know, I had no idea about Honey and Clover in the beginning because I hadn’t heard of that anime. But TBH I was shocked when I saw it. It would definitely go in to my top 10 anime, overall. The story is very believable, the sound track and background score is just too good. Best I’ve ever heard in an anime. Characters are very well developed and intriguing. It is a must watch list for any anime fan.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart Neko-chan for suggesting this anime.
dude wat about ‘school rumble’ it was way too funny
and ‘golden boy’ its only 7 episodes long but its GOOD!
@WIZ, yeah, I agree. It’s probably a matter of taste and what you’re more used to. I actually watched GTO’s Live Action first, so that kind of drove the idea that GTO is more “cool” than “funny” in my mind.
@Zura, then I’ll keep watching for now
@Ren, I’m glad you enjoyed H&C ;D You should try watching the others too if you haven’t done so already.
@Jules, I’ve watched a few episodes of School Rumble before but it didn’t really interest me. But I’ll give it another go
Never heard of Golden Boy, so gonna have to look into that one as well.
I just looked for the manga of FMP. They said that FMP: Simgma is going to continue what happened in FMP: The second raid. But i was very disappointed when i saw that all the story from FMP:Sigma was incorporated in FMP: The second raid anime.
I guess they make another volume soon which could continue the story furthur, coz Sauske has yet to confess his love for kaname and be clear with Tessa that he only appreciates her as a very good friend.
I’m trying to not make a habit of posting so often, but I am watching this thread very closely, and it’s really hard not to, so bare with me for just a little more.
Neko, I agree that there are funnier anime than GTO, but there are definitely animes that are funnier than Gintama, that deserve to be in your top list, and you know that. Gintama is good, but the funniest… nah.
Zura, as far as I know, Neko is looking for the funniest anime, not sitcoms. Also, I have to mention that my previous post was an answer to replies like “Gintama nr 1″ or “Gintama the best”. The anime is good, and it does have it’s moments now and then, but it didn’t make me wanna watch it all in 2-3 days like Toradora, or make me laugh in tears for 5 minutes after the episode finished, like Fummofu or School Rumble. As you said, it is a good anime to watch occasionally, like Familly Guy, when you’re in a bad mood and want to raise your spirit up a little bit, but that alone doesn’t make it nr 1, not by a long shot.
P.S.: Neko, if you have time to watch Gintama, then do try to watch only the first 2 or 3 episodes of Toradora. if you haven’t allready (it’s the one anime that I guarantee 100% that it’s funny). And School Rumble is worth watching too, have fun ^_^
You better watch Gakuen Alice, its a very good one and you will like it,If you like a Detective Anime watch Detective Conan i love it,or like hentai watch Green Green,Chobits or Aya Shino Ceres,if you like fighting watch Yuyu Hakusho or Street Fighter,or comedy watch school rumble/if you want drama watch Tears to Tiara, or magical Cardcaptor sakura,or you want scary watch Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge ok pls reply if you need more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please Please super Please don’t watch other animes except GAKUEN ALICE its so funny
I must say that you guys have watched way too anime. Thanks to you Neko, I’ve recently watched Ouran High School Host Club and again I am quite dissapointed that the anime finished unexpectedly.
It was really funny most of the time and pretty other times.
I don’t know which anime should i watch next coz you guys always praise for every anime.
Well, if you want my number one, it’s Toradora ^_^
I love to watch Gakuen Alice/Alice Academy because the characters there is so interesting,I love Inuyasha too its so cute,I love Pandora Hearts so lovable,but if you need the best vote for the best watch the animes i write go!!!!!!!!!!! you will understand what is anime for if you watch this animes but please i just love to list animes that are helpful i love to help people,and i feel good when people watch my favorite animes !!!Please Reply

tnx:-)
Gintama must be number 1 funniest of all! that show kills me!!!
I can’t believe goldenboy is not on here!
:O!
no love hina?
HAYATE NO GOTOKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:OOOO
the funnyiest anime ive everrr seeennnnn xDDDDD
well i loved oran high school, chobits,and fruit basket. Even though i laghed the whole time, im looking for a goood funny yaoi. any sujestions?
I think Galaxy angel definitely deserves to be on that list
the best part about it was that the episodes could change so erratically one episode could be extremely funny the next just strange or straight up drama
and there was no continuity in the series which i thought was good because it avoded a lot of pit falls (it could have easily become a soap opera
Some of you guys need to calm down the blogger specified that this is the list that THEY thought was the top 10. Your guys’ opinion in different from theirs soooooooo chill.
Anyways, I shall look onto the animes listed
i saw one comment mentioned toradora that was odd because 2 me it was beautiful story and wasn’t based to be funny anyway i think pani poni dash deserves a space on a top 10 list of funny animes
nice list, but where is Sukuran?
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dis list is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i LOVED Ouran High School Host club, fruits basket and wallflowers……… u should try Special A… its very very funny too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank u sooo very much 4 dd list Neko Kyou
GINTAMAAAAAA
seto no hanayome,i swear even you didnt like anime so much it will wake you laugh and even those people that i never heard their laugh i heard it.
well for me i think school rumble, hayate no gotoku (hayate the combat butler), FMP and kenichi.. but i seriously recommend school rumble and hayate..
I recently finished all the animes you list and I am currently moving on to watch all the animes other people mentioned!
Thank you so much for your list btw (even though I finished all before I saw this post) but I REALLY agree with you (depending on all that I have currently watched that is!
THANK YOU!
i think lovely complex d most funniest anime ever…
Dude…Seto No Hanayome all the way! That show had my stomach hurting by the end of each episode.
Words cannot express how sad I am to see that this list and every commenter on this page failed to mention FLCL.
thanks for tha anims they rock!!
can you guys tell me where i can watch these on the internet????
allen.. you can watch these on http://www.anilinkz.com/
.. blog here if you cant find d 1 u want there k?
Green green, chobits, card captor sakura, Gakuen Alice, Fruits basket and i have yet to find some more. If you guys want a good website to watch stuff on, use http://www.animeseason.com
It seems not many ppl understand Gintama. Gintama is pure fun without any deep story or characters. If anyone watched first episodes, get to know main characters, and still didnt like it, just watch episode 113, or 133, dont remember but probably 113. Toilet cleaning duty in shinsengumi police force dorms. I just cryed from laughs. Its true that not all episodes are that great, but most stories in Gintama are 1-2 episodes. Some are better, some are worse, but some of them beat everything that was ever shown. It was same with Turtle Assasin chapter. I was just dying watching it.
i believe ranma and azumangga daioh are really funny! ill be watching those other funny series too! hetalia seem to be funny too!
Ouran is a Great anime, same goes to FMP: Fumoffu.. I had Fun watching Them..
Here are my personal Faves.
1. K-On(If u Love Music as well as Humor)
2. MInami-Ke(Pure Nonsense)
3. Zero no Tsukaima(Funny but a little Ecchi)
4. School Rumble(The best School Life Anime!)
Yeah, Gintama #1
almost every episode pawns all funny anime I’ve seen before.
Then, there’s Ranma as #2
Akazukin too
You forgot : The following have romance which is good except for skip beat and comedy the best
-special a – so good i watch over 20 times
-Skip Beat – funniest omg i laugh so hard
and more but so people already told you
u should watch “seto no hanayome” is a love comedy. From my opinion this is 1st top 10 ever
School Rumble
Lucky star
Special A
Hayate no gotoku!
Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu
Seto no hanayome
Weren’t in the list.
Excel Saga and Golden Boy are the funniest EVERRRRRRR!
the top list are vary depending on one’s personalities but indeed full metal panic is one of the funniest but it also have some boring part, personally i think that the GTO “manga” are far more hilarious than GTO anime, this list cannot be consider as the funniest top 10 anime, its the personal funniest anime ;D
P/s if you want to know the real list make a poll where everyone can vote for what is the best.
OMG!! thx for all anime recommandation!!! I seriously needed it!! I ran out! hey how about Lovely Complex, Love Hina, Shugo Chara??? So many others that were as funny as crap~ I think top ten isnt enuf. how bout Top 50???
Ouran is awsome, but wheres Lucky Star? DDD:
INUYASHA IS FUNNIEST ANIME IN LIFE. YOU KNOW NOTHING.
GTO is the funniest in IMO (GTO-Great Teacher Onizuka)
I have watched most of these, and they almost all fail in comparison to Seto no Hanayome (if you are a fan of random funny), and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi (If you are a fan of things that make no sense what so ever, like FLCL).
Here are examples from both:
Seto no Hanayome: “Main character: ‘huh, why am I unaffected by the magical mermaid song?’, Announcer: ‘Inhumanity level, MAX!’”
Abenobashi: “*Demon licks panties on his head* Main Character Girl: ‘Hey, my panties you bastard!’ Main Character Guy: ‘What those are your panties!?’ Random Old Man: ‘They have done it, their hearts have united through thought of panties!’”
wat bout lucky star thats funny…
is toradora funny??
Yup, toradora has it’s share of funny moments
hmmm… howz about Nagasarate Airantou
I would place school rumble at second if not the first spot. this list needs some serious editing. what abt old school classics such as slam dunk, maison ikkaku…and how could you possibly put ranma 1/2 in the top ten list…..sure it has its moments but you simply cant compare it to the best out there.
I completely agree with fumoffu. The funniest anime I have ever seen. However, I think School Rumble deserves to be in the list. If you have not seen it, give it a try! you won´t regret
I’m happy to announce that the updated list is quite near completion
It took me a very, very long time – but I had a LOT of anime to watch and re-watch, both old and new.
Plus, as you can probably tell, I’ve been pretty occupied since I’ve started my own business.
But thanks to all the response and encouragement here (especially WIZ), I’m almost done with the list. Hopefully, I can get this up and posted by February.
There’s about 30 shows in the list right now – might add or remove a few as I finalize it over the next few weeks.
After that, I’ll be adding screenshots and maybe some short descriptions, although this will most likely be limited to the top 10.
And if I have the time, I might be throwing in something special which I think you will enjoy, but I won’t say what it is yet.
Please look forward to it
Yay, can’t wait ^_^
Damn, that was fast lol
Is it done yet? How about now? Maybe now? now? now, now, now???
Watch golden boy i Highly!!! recomend it if ur looking for a super funny anime ur gonna die trying to watch Golden boy only 5 episodes and i think you should watch know only 5 episodes
What about soul eater……..that is such i funny show……. XD
you forgot the master, ONIZUKA!! gto (great teacher onizuka) should be number 1 yet it didnt even make your list.. disgraceful… i have three words for you. Master. bate. shun. thank you.
omg i think full metal panic should be no.2 and Fruits Basket shoul BE no.1 right
-grabs coke n chips- Im going to camp out here till the new list is out……….
NEKO-SAMA GAMBATTE!
and dont forget SKIP BEAT!! ouran, fruit basket, special A, wallflower and skip beat will always be ma faves!!!
haha, another one joined the waiting crew, welcome Vini ^_^
Arigatho Wiz……… wona coke??? did Neko finish the list yet???
Wiz.. lets start a camp fire and do the hurry-up-n-finish-the-list dance around it???
Please! No campfires! I don’t want my blog to be burnt to a crisp
But thanks for the support.
I’ve actually completed the list a couple of weeks ago, just haven’t gotten around to add the screenshots yet.
Been slacking around too much during this Chinese New Year lol
Don’t worry tho, I still plan to have it completed asap, hopefully within the next week, otherwise I wouldn’t have the time next month.
Unfortunately, I might not be able to complete my ‘extra surprise’ in time, so that might be delayed a bit – but the list WILL be up.
Haha, Neko you don’t have to rush things. I for one don’t mind if it takes longer, as long as the result is what everyone expected.
Oh, and don’t worry about the campfire, I never go overboard, Safety first!
P.S. I jut started watching “Special A”. So far so good, thx Vini ^_^
OK… where’s that barrel of gasoline? >_>
heheheeeeee.. Im with Wiz… gambatte Neko kun!!!
oooh.. i got a glass of water just in case
ur welcome Wiz…
try skip beat too if u havnt tryd it yet.. n i jst nw finished nyan-koi… its hilariously kawaaai!!!!
Yeah, definitely give Nyan-Koi a try, it’s one of the new series that made the new list
I LOVE Nyan-koi… i really really want a season 2!!!
Neko kun.. did u try rosario+vampire/? its an ecchi, harem n comedy .. u MUST try it if u havent, its HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I’ve watched it. It’s pretty good, especially towards the end of season 1. I wished they followed the manga more closely, though
New list should be up tonight or tomorrow. It should have been done yesterday, but I always end up watching a few more episodes while trying to take screenshots xD
O_o Is that it? Pinch ME!! I’ve seen more than half of the animes listed. Hmm… there are probably going to be complaints again about THE NEW ORDER, but in the end it is Neko’s list. Personally I find it really hard to make a rank for the anime I know, they’re just too good, so congrats for yours Neko. I do think however that Gintama would have deserved some place in the list, but that’s just me. Anyway, I hope you can add some more anime to the list in the near future(without screenshots or descriptions). Again, if you need help, just ask ^_^
Good work!
The new list isn’t up yet, lol.
lol Wiz!! i ransacked the whole site trying to find the new list :p
did u watch the second season of rosario+vampire, Neko? I hated the ending.. Tsukune is such a selfish BAKA! lol..
now im outta stuff to watch.. so im gona haunt ur blog till i find a new 1…
oh wait.. i can rewatch ouran again!!!!!! wheeeeeeeeee……..!!!!!!!!!!!
My bad, I think I was reading a different ranking or something when I posted, I was half asleep anyway >_>, sry about that, Neko pls delete that post to avoid further confusion(sry Vini ^_^)
Anyway, I finished Special A, Nyan-Koi and Honey and Clover. Nyan-koi was more cute than funny, Special A was really good, and the last…well… it had some hilarious moments I must say.
@Vini try Seitokai no Ichizon or K-ON! if you haven’t allready
sry about the trouble, no more posting on sleepless nights for me
Updated.
*runs and hides*
Love it! This is the real one… right? Actually I’m more excited about the new names, rather than the order ^_^
I like the anime you chose, really good series in my opinion. I haven’t seen #2, #5 & #10(yet)
Can’t wait to read the following posts, hope you have a good hiding spot Neko ^_^
awwwww.. its ok Wiz…
its here!!!!!!!!!!! its finally here!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…………..!!!
-looks around for Neko- too bad Neko is no where 2 be found.. guess Wiz n I should finish off the celebratory champaign i brought,,
I’ll be back in less than a week AFTER i finish off all the new stuff on the list
just like Wiz, I cant wait 2 read the follow up posts… btw.. ARIGATHO NEKO KUN!!!
oooooooh n Wiz… a BIG ARIGATHO 2 U TOO!!! for the anime
did u watch skip beat yet? oh n Hakushaku to Yousei? ( fairy n earl)its not exactly Funny funny.. but the main characters look ALOT like Tamaki ( ouran) kaname ( vampire knight) and Lelouche ( code geass) only the names and voices are diff.. the looks r 100% the same…
The difficulty of such a list is indeed maintaining it. Some interesting picks; a nice mix of old and new!
Thanks, guys
You know what’s great?! Bobobobo bo bo bo I think that’s how you spell it :L
Hmm…
Excellent list, but I think Nagasarete Airantou should be included, I like how Seto no Hanayome was at least mentioned, but aye… give Airantou a quick look see, oh and also wanted to mention Sora no Otoshimono, both had me laughing the entire series. =P
Where is Gintama?
I recommend you watch Goldenboy and then edit the list.
ah, I remember yakitate japan… watched it a few years ago… good times… good times… I think that Hayate should be higher up, it was just waay to funny!
Lovely complex sucks after 7 or 8 episodes Hs kenichi is more of an action anime (i was fooled but fine).
I really liked Lovely complex… By the way Neko, what do you think about the new animes that started this month?
does anyone know of an actual good site that english subs Full metal Panic properly without skipping anything? I tried to deal without knowing what they said for some parts but -______- ahh i just cant do it.
hey have you tried The Wallflower its hilarious you should watch it and you should try skip beat to ^_^
@Rose, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is the Japanese name for The Wallflower
Should try Sexy Commando. Makes me bust up every time.
My vote goes for Ranma 1/2
To: ALL
WHY DOES NO ONE LIKE BAKA TO TEST TO SHOUKANJUU?????
ITS THE BEST TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!
happy sinco de mayo everyone
i thought Baka to Test Shoukanjuu was hilarious! is there a second season?
HEYYY!!!!! GOLDEN BOY IS THE FUNNIEST ANIME I EVER WATCHED.. its not in the list…
I’m sorry but there’s a 2nd season anonnced on april 1st.
baka to test to shoukanjuu.. YEAH!! its ROCKS!! awesome.. so funny.. the funniest i mean..
D
Seto no Hanayome … pure comedy
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, what’s wrong with you. You missed the most important and funniest anime ever SCHOOL RUMBLE. It is better than all those anime in your top 10 together.btw i enjoyed full metal panic fumoff it was SO hilarious
No Gintama on the list = Huge FAIL
I liked gintama too. Maybe Neko would do us a small favor and add it on the next update ^_^
yakitate japan really deserves a place on the list. u could even have mentioned kyo kara maoh. its funny and full of handsome guys! u shld definitly watch it if u havent!
LOOL! no gintama O,O
gintama…….. I kinda like it!
Gintama is the only anime which can make an episode out of character ratings last for 4 episodes and still get away with it with the audience rofl.
DUDE! You guys have to put Sora No Otoshimono in there. Its one of the funniest most random animes ever! I also like some of the animes you put in there. And I saw that someone said you should make this thing go all the way to the 50 funniest animes and I think thats a great idea.
wahhh… there are so many funny animes..XD
i think this aniMes are funny too.. hihiHihi >;D
> bacanno!
> desert punk
Have anyone heard of Black Cat? I think it is kinda funny!
I really loved Black Cat. I actually find that I prefer the starting from the anime but the ending from the manga is so much better.
i think this was mentioned before but golden boy is deffinitely the funniest anime ever created in my opinion despite there only being 6 episodes in the series and its perverted nature.
This site is what I need, funny animes!!
Here’s mine:
School Rumble
Seto No Hanayome
Gintama
Hayate No Gotoku
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge: The Wallflower
Ranma 1/2
Nyan Koi
So far, that’s all the animes I cried from laughing..
Anyways, I’ll watch all those animes you’ve mention.
Need to bookmark this page =D
FUMOFFU FTW!!!!!..and u should have school rumble too XD..but your list is the best nice list…downloading minami-ke by torrent no seed..gimme some torrent link plss XD
try watch Gintama episode 182-184!!
it remind me of u guys here!!!hahahaha
if u know what i mean >:D
p/s : dont curse me kay~ T_T
What about Maria Holic?!?!… Thats a funny as hell anime! xD
Wheres “BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO”?
dont forget about angel beats.!
thats like my favorite anime now xx]
Angel Beats is a good anime, and I’ve liked it too, but it’s not that funny… I has a lot of serious stuff in it. Good yea, funny… not so much ^_^
Angel Beats had so much comedic potential of epic proportions… too bad they didn’t really make use of that
Yep, you’re right Neko. They started really good but got lost in the background stories and so on… Oh well, here’s a new anime I’m watching(about 2 eps). One of the best so far ^_^
Mitsudomoe
Golden Boy is a must see!!! In fact, I’m going to watch it for the 100th time right now… STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!
LOLSSSSS so many suggestions but thanks!!! I have started with FMP FUmofou and it was so funny. followed by KENICHI and i loved it but it seems like the end of is not complete.. Also seen Ouran High.
Now i am starting with SChool Rumble.
Try Seto No Hanayome One of the funniest Anime Out There
Where is Gintama in this List???? It should be No.1…
Gintama is on it’s own different level, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s not on the list ^_^
Angel Beats had a pretty decent concept, and as for comedy, it was only funny when it wanted to be. But to me, that anime had the perfect blend of each genre it contained.
I’m appalled that you haven’t seen Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan or Golden Boy, this must be fixed!(I suggest English dub for both, as the voice actors are top notch.) Magical Witch Punie-chan made me laugh. Excel Saga is pretty funny for the people who can stand the absurd randomization of the episodes.
I’ll take a look into Golden Boy, seems to be getting a number of recommendations for it
Gintama is on a totally different level of humour and Epicness.I’m sure everybody who has watched more than 10 eps of it would agree.
Some people claim that gintama is just random but being able to turn an ordinary, everyday situation into something so dramatic and hilarious is not random, its skill.
and not only does the comedy remain constant throughout 201 eps,it actually gets funnier everytime.
i’m sure everyone would be able to enjoy gintama if they aproach it with an non biased mind
trust me the funniest animes.
1.Magical shopping arcade abenobashi
2.Seto no hanayome
3.Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan
4.Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
5.Sora no Otoshimono
6.Inukami
Ya gintama is definately my fav anime for comedy!
i cannot remember a episode where i havent laughed.
my opinion of why it is a great anime is that it has
-a glop of randomness yet still remains on plot which family guy cant really get too
- even thought a lotta of jokes you have to be japanese soemtimes to get most of them you jsut have to be human to understand like when you have to go poo or peeing to clean junk off the urinal
-towards 2/4 of the anime they started adding in drama
which really made it awsome giving a deadly samurai feel like rurouni kenshin where it makes you go OMFG THAT WAS AN AWSOME KILL
- its funny because the character make note of their exsistence in the real world like whenever they talk about how lazy the show creators are or like in the character poll arc
-it makes fun of other animes and their failures!!
also it connects to the past of the samurai such as the shinsengumi!
-it has action,comedy, the skill to execute randomness in an order to make you laugh out your heart, and awsomeness
So in my opinion it is my fav and is the best comedy anime!!
P.S.
This is my opinion so haters dont hate
Honorable mentions.

Dude…What about Gintama?!
I’ve watch some of the animes you mentioned above. But had u tried Gintama? Its the most Kickass funny anime ever. Its on a total different league compared to animes like K-ON and History’s Strongest Disciple, Kenichi. U have to watch at least 5 episodes of it to start understanding how funny it is. The main reason why it is funny is that, it can create really funny and unexpected things and events in any situation. Be it a serious fighting scene, a feast or a journey.
at what site can i find K-on with eng sub?
Ehh? Everyone watch “Seto No Hanayome”!
It SERIOUSLY is the funniest Anime ever!
Although I agree with some of the Anime’s listed. Nice choices ^w^
Dang, three years later, and still updating. Very impressive.
lol after reading the arguments here. i think gintama wins lol
lol and also Wiz im glad that u changed ur opinion about gintama
With so many recent comments on Gintama, I’m gonna have to give Gintama another try XD

daq
gurren laggan
air gear
samurai x(or rurouni kenshin)
now talking abt funniest animes….
gintama should b definitely first.. there is no anime that can compete with it when it comes to action(rarely happens) its d top notch(benezakura arc,yoshiwara arc etc..)… i have seen all d eps of gintama(201 eps) nd d ep 96 was most hilarios, its ending was worse, it made me turn off my pc directly by pulling d plug(lol)…
hey neko kyou i really appreciate the hard work u have done in publishing this top 10 funny animes.nd im looking forward to watch full metal pancic nd lucky star..u really have done a great job..
btw u should really try watching gintama(if u havent watched it yet)..i assure u’ll laugh to death…
GINTAMA RULEZZZZZZZZZZZ
even though gintama is my 8th fav anime… its d only anime in which i had watched it 2 times…
I’ve actually been wanting to watch Fairy Tail, but haven’t gotten around to check it out yet.
fairy tail is an awesome anime.. its my 1st favourite anime.. i like it better than naruto or bleach…fairy tail always makes me cry wen it comes to emotional scenes nd wen it comes to fight it makes my hairs(in hands) stand straight(lol)…
by the way did u watch gintama yet????
coz gintama is d most humorous anime ever made…
and no anime can even compare to gintama..
yea ryo, most ppl here agreed that gintama is on another level.
btw what anime is “daq” on ur list?(below gintama)
DAQ MEANS DETECTIVE ACADEMY Q(also known as detective school Q)
OHH NOO.. I THINK I FORGOT ADD “FMA” ON MY FAVOURITE ANIME LIST.. IT SHOULD B BETWEEN GINTAMA AND DAQ
My no. 1 anime is Mushishi. If you haven’t watched it you should check it out. It’s not funny but i think you’ll love it. Nodame Cantabile is also one of my top 10.
Skip Beat is one of my all time fav funny animes
i had heard dat mushishi is a good to watch anime….okie il dive it a try
dude, how many have u watched??????
i watched a couple of those you mentioned and they are tight (dope, wicked, cool–whatever)
i watched hayate, host club, full metal panic, lucky star and am still in the middle of minami-ke (well, not actually- i wathced liked 4 episodes) will totally watch the others. i noticed u didnt add skip beat– that thing had me in stitches, even after id watched it 3 times…
Probably not good enough for this list, but Yumeria is a pretty funny harem/comedy anime. And Azumanga Daioh is better than Lucky Star. Don’t get me wrong, they’re both great, but Lucky Star borrows A LOT of stuff from Azumanga Daioh, and generally doesn’t execute it as well.
have anybody watched great teacher onizuka????coz i wanted to knw whether d anime is funny or not?
zura, gto is funny
the most funniest is:
10.ranma 1/2 (even though the old perv is so annoying)
9. my bride is a mermaid
8. hayate the butler
7. akazukin cha-cha
6. slam dunk
5. special A
4. love hina
3. zero no stukaima
2. Full metal panic ,tsr,fumoffu
1. school rumble(d’best
XD, Zura Janai, Katsura Da!!
Mitsudomoe (too bad it only lasted 13 episodes), and Seitokai Yakuindomo (coz they talk about the absurdest things) are my most recent favorites.
uhmmm.. I only finished Lucky Star because I feel bad not finishing it.
uhmmm.. I hope they make an anime of Ouran Host club during the time Haruhi goes to USA for one year while all the members of the Host Club follows her and lived in the same apartment building (Haruhi’s Shocked and miserable face was just so funny.. and also by that time Tamaki and Haruhi are already Couples.. ^_^)
uhmmm.. Haven’t tried Gintama.. beacause I always forget to watch it.. Te-He. ^_^
uhmmm.. I hope the creators of K-On makes a season 3, when they are already in the same College School. Well not all of them, Azusa will have to wait for 1 year though.. ^_^
uhmmm.. There are new released animes that seems to be interesting.. One of which has a main character that looks exactly like Lelouche… hahahaha..
Oh well.. I said What I had to say. JMQUIJANZ.
PIZ OUT!
i knew you would say that XD
If you’re male then I recommend you watch it. It’s only a 6 episode OVA but I’ve never laughed harder. The fact that the main character appears stupid & perverted, yet in truth is modest & kind-hearted makes the anime have a deep meaning over the hilarious nonsense that is Golden Boy.
^And it’s funnier in English dubs, which gives extra kudos points since that’s quite rare.
Ah, Kintaro Oe should be a role model upon us all…hahah.
And thanks for showing me Ranma 1/2 & Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu ^.^
Good list!I’m reading the Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu manga and it’s pretty good! a little pervertish but good!
Hey. loved ur list. had just 1 question. is ur new list out yet?
thx
GINTAMA(most random comedy), GTO(most action comedy) & school rumble(most stupidity comedy) FTW!!!
The current list is new. There won’t be any new updates on the list until next year
check out the rare (two ep) anime, dragon half, that was funny as hell (provided hell is the funniest thing of all time)
you should check “Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekain” aka “The World Only God Knows” before writing the next list.
I’m watching it now
As for Dragon Half, I’ve noted that down in my to-find list for now.
you forgot or you should watch this…
* Nodame Cantabile (All Seasons)
* Skip Beat
* Special A
* Haruhi Suzumiya no yuutsu
* Toradora
* Saiunkoku Monogatari
finally started watching full metal panic
The first season?
@ichi, I’ve watched and read Haruhi XD
It’s one of my favourite shows but I didn’t think it was funny enough to be put in the list.
Watched Toradora halfway before I stopped, but I do plan on continuing it. As for the rest, I’ve not watched them so I’ll keep them in mind
IS THIS ONLY ABOUT the funniest animes ?
hmm then i would say
- GTO ( great teacher onizuka
- higepiyo ( a chicken with a mustache ) Omgg
- FULL METAL PANIC
- trigun
P.SSSSS
i must say this : best romance : KAICHOU WA MIAD-SAMA OMGG
IT’S THE BEST ROMANCE I EVER SAW PERSONAL TASTE
And it’s funny SO KAICHOU WA MIAD-SAMA #1
and again personal taste
finished watching full metal panic..
which is d second season Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu or
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid
Fumoffu came out first, but The Second Raid is officially the 2nd season. You can watch either one first
@esra, I agree, Maid-sama rocks! XD
GINTAMA
The funniest anime ever.
Where the hell is it.
I’ve watched the rest, they dont even compare to gintama.
Its a must watch, although some of the jokes may be a bit mature.
HAHA…. I AGREE WITH U “Death 8054″….GINTAMA IS D GOD OF FUNNY ANIMES…
BTW, THANKS FOR D INFO ON FMP..I THINK IL WATCH D SECOND RAID, then fumoffu
WHERE THE HELL IS GINTAMA
i also started watching great teacher onizuka…. omg i laughed to death on d very first episode.. its super funny..thumbs up!!
lol to that ryo angus, the only thing i could say after that was …….
GREATHOO!!!!!!!
to all those who wonder “where the hell is gintama”
relax cause read the comments they or we already decided that gintama is on another level.
XD
GINTAMA BANZAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
WHERE IS Fruit Punch Chinpo Samurai G
SORRY *FRUITS CHINPO SAMURAI G
I liked a few on your list whilst i may not agree on the order i do have one question to ask. Minami-ke whilst it may have had a great first season. The rest was crap. It shouldn’t have made the list You did say best series after all. An anime that kept me laughing almost every episode was ranma 1/2.
My list would have went
1. Gintama Never ever let me down for 200 episdoes
2. Ranma1/2 did good with 160
3. Full metal panic Fumofu
4. History’s strongest deciple
5. School Rumble
6. Fruits Basket
7. Baka to Test to Shokanju
8. Ouran High School Host Club
9. Lucky Star.
10. Great Teacher Onizuka
Gintama would win mine because it delivers on so many levels. I have watched the series 6 times from start to finish and would watch it again. I can’t wait for the continuance to come out next year.
Thats my list and opinion yours was good so i thought i would share mine thanks for anyones time who read this.
wow 6 times
yea ur right it never gets old
katsutama.err..i mean gintama banzaiiiiii…
well i watched nyan koi!, it was funny…
if your going to put your personal opinion on this matter you might want to change the title to “Top 10 FAVOURITE anime comedy” otherwise people will take your list too litarally…
Also your #1 anime is a series almost no one has heard of that had 1 good season, 1 bum season, and another sub par season. Yeah… doesn’t seam like something that belongs in the #1 spot on any list.
When I was reading this I felt like I was reading an opinion sandwich:
anime 10 through 8 = personal favourites
anime 7 through 3 = Main stream favourites
anime 2 and 1 = personal favourites
I think the list needs to be more streamlined. It needs to be either all personal or all main stream favourites. A lot of classic anime was left off the list for obscure personal favourites. And for all I know some of your personal favourites may have been omitted to fit in mainstream animes.
haven’t watch much of comedy anime thinking though. i think fairy tail is fairly funny too also suggest me with some anime
@fairy tail
if u love fairytail, then we r alike, u must also like d anime dat i watched.. just press ctrl+f and type my name u’ll find my previous comments abt other animes
hey kyou when r u updating ur top 10 funny animes list
@ryo
New update will probably be around March next year
I plan to keep it updated once a year.
if you’re bored watch this: (not my video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8ujbRDaXTw

Minami-Ke
why no flcl? (fooly cooly) i think that’s one of the funniest anime’s i’ve ever seen
hmm.. Minami Ke isn’t really funny actually. ( no offense )
) well maybe funny since I always watched it everyday back then
Gintama, at the first, yes, it’s not really funny, but after I watched more episodes, I should admit, that it is really funny xD
Hayate no Gotoku, Yakitate!! Japan, and Arakawa Under the Bridge is the funniest anime ever LOLOLOL xD I know Yakitate!! Japan is corny, but what makes it funny is the reaction of the Jury Kuro yan LOLOLOL xD
xxxHolic is funny also.. x)
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, just a little bit funny..
Ouran, Gakuen Alice, Fruit Basket, is really funny too.. x)
Baka to Test kind of not really funny I should say, But yeah, maybe I should watch another episodes, since the first, second, third episodes is not really funny.
I don’t remember much about Ranma 1/2 ( I watched it when I was a kid
and many more..
)
it should be like this when I sequence the funniest anime ever (for me
1. Yakitate!! Japan -> Since I always laugh every episodes because of Kuro yan reactions
2. Arakawa Under the Bridge -> Laughed since the first episodes xD crazy casts, like sister, and that kappa, well actually all of them are funny LOL xD
3. Gintama -> i don’t need to give reason, since anyone would exactly know my reason
4. hayate no Gotoku -> LOL, there’re too many censored words xD and also Conan parody xD
that’s all, because I’m too confused to sequence the rest.
P.S
by funny I mean, I laughed from the first episodes, till the end of the episodes
by funny I mean, it’s not just smile, giggle, and laugh at just some episodes, but every episode.
and by funny I mean, it’s LAUGH OUT LOUD. not just simple laugh.
flcl one of d funniest?? i dout that..it have 6 eps and i even have watched it 2 times..i agree it have some comedy but not good enough
I now have around 100+ episodes of Gintama, but have not started watching yet. Kinda hooked on Detective Conan XD
lol did u know detective conan is still airing you’re gonna be bored watching every episode.
just saying…
i agree with zura, flcl is overrated.
tell me people, is keroro gunso funny?
a website recommends this anime if i liked gintama… xD
if not then can u recommend me an anime like gintama (with no harem/romance, none of that stuff plz)
ty
you really should try D.gray-man!!!! it’s the best anime ever it’s funny there’s action and it never get’s boring
its been a while guys..well on these days i watched many animes like hajime no ippo, air, angel beats, spice and wolf, suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu, kaiji many more
*kaiji and many more
Speaking of Haruhi, have you watched The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi?
yep…. >_>
well i have the movie for over a month with me…i still havent watched it coz its a cam rip with super bad quality…i was just waiting for a new print…and finally i got a 720p last week in torrents..now d downloading it 7 is stuck at 87% with 0 seeds. i wish my downloading finishes soon so dat i could watch it coz its d most highly rated anime movie ever.
Go watch it now! KyoAni really did great with The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi XD
GINTAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
OMG The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi is the best movie ever..i have no words to express it.
@Neko Kyou
im thinking of watching Lucky Star, ur #2 ranking anime…hope its funny
Waaaaaah!? Golden boy’s not on the list; not evan as an honorable mention? Theirs some kind shenanigry going on here….
Seriously? This is just a list of the latest moe crap to become trendy. There are far better comedies than the ones on this list, and none of them endorse pedophilia.
@Anonymous, would be great if you could recommend some
sora no otoshimono and sora no otoshimono are not in the list. It really should be number 1
Great list, thanks to you i watched Ouran High School i thought it was brilliant and it should be higher up on the list. I was surprised when School Rumble wasn’t on the list, the second season is as good as the first, it has some crappy filler episodes but its still great overall. Going to watch lucky star and slam dunk next xD.
When will Gintama be put in the list??
Anyway, I’m still at ep 160. I hope I can finish this before April since Season 2 is coming our way.
hey Neko…………….. missed ya! couldn’t check here for a looooong time… have u watched live action dramas or whatever they call it?
Ouran High Host Club sounds a bit like Yamato nadeshiko Shichi Henge (=Perfect girl evolution/the wallflower), is it really better?
loved Ranma 1/2 back in the days, but today I’d say Yamato nadeshiko Shichi Henge (=Perfect girl evolution/the wallflower) is funnier and crazyier,
and the male characters in Yamato nadeshiko Shichi Henge are not bad at all, they just look kind of corney at the beginning,
personlly, think Yamato nadeshiko Shichi Henge (=Perfect girl evolution/the wallflower) is also funnier than Full Metal Panic
just finished Working!! and is super super funny!!!!
XD
Panty and Stockings
Give it a try
Desert punk the best of the best.hilarious,inspiring,.and good to watch with anyone.because it’s just the funny
what about “arakawa under the bridge”? it’s abs0lutely insane! XD
what??? gintama where??? sorry… this list can not be taken seriously because it misses THE funniest anime ever created….
Gintama is growing on me really fast, but I still haven’t really seen anything that funny yet. Maybe I’m still too early in the series to tell since I’ve had many telling me that it only gets really good after a while.
School Rumble not even in the top 10? and you put it last in your 25 list? YOU SUCK ASS FUCKING NERD.
WHAT IS THE BEST ANIME YOU EVER SAW
@ neko kyou, every eps in gintama is funny..its puns r way too funny if u coud understand them..but still there r some eps which r extra-ordinary that will kill u with joked or u may get angry bcoz dat joke went too far dat can make u cry

sorry to say this, but minami-ke is not funny at all. maybe it’s from an individual point of view. i watched it 3 episode and not a single laughter from me and all of my friends. lucky star may be number 1 then…
No gintama? Oh my.
not bad list, bobobo-bo bo-bobo is the funniest show ive ever seen and will ever see, so mant WTF!! moments, its just so stupid, there is no more random character then don patch, he is just pure awesomness.
some others that make me laugh are fma, dbz, kenichi, samurai champloo, asu no yoichi, to love ru, combat butler and fmp-fumoffu.
dont forget about great teacher onizuka its nr1
This cannot be accurate at all if Gintama isn’t in the list! What is this?!?!?
hey, nice list you got here
another funny anime serie you should watch is “Green Green” . i didn’t wanted to see it at first, because i heard is so much ecchi in it, and thats not my type. but, woaw, im glad i watched it, its really funny.
give it a try ;D
wow new season of gintama is awesome..i laughed to death
Watching Gintama around episode 30+ now. It’s nice, but I haven’t really find it to be that funny >.>
Should I watch the latest Gintama season first or slowly make my way there?
My Top 10 :
10-Seitokai Yuki
9-One Piece
8-Ouran High school host club
7-GTO
6-Seto no Hanayome
5-School Rumble
4-Baka to test
3-2×2 Shinobuden

Hmmm
for me my number one anime is
1. GIntoki
2. School Rumble
3. My Bride is a Mermaid
Try to watch may top 3 its really funny
i like this type of anime can you recommend me some?
GTO should be #1 on the list
AT the end of Gintama episode 203 is TOTALY OWNED other anime!!!HAHAHA i dont know Gintoki can use Final Getsuga Tenshou : Mugetsu (ROFL)!!!!hahaha GINTAMA RULE!!!
DONDAKE!!!!!!!DONDAKE!!!!!if ur watching this anime please turn off ur straight-man style and DONDAKE!!!(Quote from anime Gintama episode 100)
Ranma 1/2 is and will forever be my favorite anime. I was so delighted to see it on this list!
(Find me on YouTube, I hate to advertise, it’s stupid, but why not just once? @ youtube.com/user/AnimeInterpreter)
Would you believe it if I told you I finished the entire Ouran High School Host Club series in a day? Unfortunately, that is how obsessed I am. I ABSOULUTELY LOVE FUMOFFU! The WallFlower is great too but my personal fave is definitely Lucky Star. The opening is the BEST!
@Ruska I’m actually trying to find Seto no Hanayome! XD
@Hitsugaya Let me know if you find out what anime it is
@HIge Check out Lucky Star and Minami-ke, sounds like you will enjoy them.
@Dang Every time I start watching GTO anime, I always end up watching the Live Action version instead… lol
@Mamudapao=MADAO o.O still watching the first series here lol
@AnimeInterpreter Yeah, more Ranma 1/2 fans! XD
@アニメOBSESSED That’s a lot of episodes in a single day lol. I find that Ouran and Lucky Star is easy to re-watch over and over again when you’re bored and just want to watch something.
I’ve tried Golden Boy…nice n cool 1. that was hilarious, well but too short xD
@ Neko Kyou…still on the search lol…hmm guess should read again this blog to find it out xDXD
@neko kyou
how’s gintama going? honestly, the really funny stuff is in like the later episodes (yagyuu arc, barbershop arc) but theres a lot of hidden gem episodes (particularly the one where all the girls who work with oate get sick so the yorozuya end up filling in to help welcome a “VIP guest”) not sure which episode it was though. check out the website “Yorozuya Soul” for an arc/chapter/episode list :]
@michindude I’m still at around ep 30+, there have been some really funny eps but there were also some really boring ones >.>
NEKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just wanted to say hello! R u on twitter??
stupid Q.. trying to follow u on twitter now :p
@kyou watched seto no hayame yet? first 2 eps was awesome..full of comedy but then it started to get boring
new season of gintama is d world’s no.1 anime
check this out http://myanimelist.net/topanime.php
these r d all d animes that i have watched—->
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/ryoangus
currently im just watching new season of gintama nd some other few animes bcoz of university xams
@kyou, u shld complete old gintama b4 watching new season ..it gets better after ep 60 onwards
Anyone seen DMC (Detroit Metal City)? Made me laugh alot
@NekoKyou (yet another post about gintama but bear with me here…) quite frankly if you don’t like it as much as everyone says you should it’s probably hype aversion, and I’d probably feel the same XD.
I’m not going to shower yet more praise on it (though I would like to) but I will say crucnhyroll and the like do not do a good enough job with explaining all the references and puns of which there are so many, most people will likely never discover even half of them without hints and clues. Which is a shame because they are genuinely funny. I also think a good way to get a feel for any series is to read it’s entry on TV tropes, but not the spoilers. If you have no idea what that is, have a look, it’s pretty interesting.
Gintama is one of very few shows that have made me laugh continuously and hard! If Anything I wish it was shorter, more refined and polished, like with very short comedies such as Father Ted, because so much time is spent on so few episodes, they manage to outclass most other long running sitcoms with considerable ease. If Gintama had the same focus on each episode, it might become mind blowing.
Personally, I would pick Gintama as the funniest manga and anime, I’ve ever read/watched. The thing with Gintama is that it requires quite a bit of patience at first because of the slower pace (exposition etc). It’s a very underrated series as unlike most shounen series, it takes more time and effort to get into it (but I’m so very glad I persisted, especially after the Benizakura arc when things got REALLY GOOD). Even if you don’t get all the references and parodies made in the show, there are still some universal (though crude) humour to make you laugh. I think it’s a bit of an overstatement to say that EVERY episode of Gintama is funny – certainly most are, just not those at the start. If you’re gonna label Gintama as “boring” and “not funny” without watching much into the series (watching 30-40 episodes by my definition is NOT very far into the series), I’ll be sorry to say you’re missing out on a lot. IF however, you can still say it’s “boring” and “not funny” after watching every episode until the current one (episode 206), then I’ll take your word for it – just different taste for anime and manga, is all.
That said, whilst I do like the anime, I’m more into the manga. Oh, and for those of you who say Gintama doesn’t have a plot, it actually DOES (Takasugi, Kamui) it’s just it’s not very often that things get serious, ‘cos when they do, they’re really SERIOUS. The ratio of serious arcs to comedic arcs is somewhat huge, but thanks to that, you will never get sick of serious arcs!(Not that the comedic ones are any less worthy to look forward to!)
My favorite is definitely the Yoshiwara arc (but I also like the Jiraia arc, 4 great “kings” of Kabukichou and the Benizakura arc).
Forgot to mention about the characters. As you continue to read on, you actually do get to realize that despite the huge number characters in the series, as you read on, you realize there really is a lot of depth to them.
On Gintama, could be hype aversion like Richaka said, but yeah probably not far enough into the series yet to really appreciate it. Don’t get me wrong, I do like it and there are a couple of episodes that brought me to tears laughing.
It’s good, just that with so many recommendations, I expected better. Of course, that’s just my current standing on the series, since as many have said, it gets better later on and is something worth looking forward to
@ryo, oh yes, Seto! I watched it halfway before I went traveling a while back and totally forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me! XD
Yeah, expectations do usually tend to make you have higher standards for the series. So very, very true. I think I got into Gintama quicker as I bought the manga volumes (until volume 21) and so, had an excuse to read it (and as everyone said, it DOES get a lot better; it’s like any shounen manga, where the mangaka needs some time to establish his comfort zone/pacing, and Gintama just took more time for that). Haha. But yeah, if you really aren’t enjoying it, I wouldn’t force you to continue – probably better to try again later, when those expectations aren’t as strong. More fun that way. Though, if you don’t mind continuing to watch (when by most people’s definition, the series gets “good”) then by no means continue. Hm. Maybe I should stop saying that the series gets good later on ‘cos that might also lead to people waiting for when it gets good…You know what I mean..XD
What I posted before was a strongly opinionated response, I admit…It’s just…Gintama really isn’t a “judge by the first couple of episodes” type of series. *shrugs* The fact that it’s very popular in Japan will suffice to keep me happy fanart and such, I suppose. Lol.
Anyway, all the other anime you originally put on the list, I’ve watched. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge was a pretty funny anime. I really enjoyed Sunako’s voice acting. Haha.
Ah, you should try watching Princess Jellyfish. It’s really funny, but unfortunately too short for it’s own good (like, shorter than Cowboy Bebop was D:) it only has 11 episodes. But what they do have is HILARIOUS!
ZOMFG!
*grabs her hair madly in great distress*
So much to pick from, can’t decide, can’t decide!
Overload.. OVERLOAD!
I read through most of the fabulous, and some not quite so fabulous, comments. And I must confess.. I NOTED DOWN 30+ ANIMES TO MY must-watch-this-intriguing-stuff-before-I-am-eaten-by-the-big-pink-teacup LIST!
Why thank you very much. Here I come, oh great addictive, frivolous and overbearingly inane plots! Come, take away all the time on my hands!
xD
Oh and great admirable Mr Neko Kyou..
.. I just had to return to your lair to ask you..
..may I worship your distinctive prowess in the sublime art of godliness?
I am forever your number one fan! Your slave!
Why, thank you.
So excited! Since now I’ve a ‘fair’ amount of information to start yet another, what I’ve understood as of late is a life-threathening obsession of mine, ANIME MARATHON! Anyone care to join? Drink’s on me! Popcorn’s not welcome though, so make sure to stuff your faces with something better smelling.
*website bookmarked!*
Daaaaaaaamn dudes!!!!!!!!!
As a manga eater I STRONGLY, I repeat, STRONGLY recommend you to read the following mangas… They’ll have you laugh to death (better not try to read them while working!)
Zippy Ziggy
Kyou Kara Ore wa

hahah, awesome list. Definitively Lucky Star have epic-funny moments… although some of my favorites are from School Rumble.
Thanks for updating the list!
I have never heard of any of these, so I decided to watch a few. They were pretty good. I know some may disagree, but I think Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro- Chan should be somewhere on this list.
There is 1 anime is soooo funneh!
nagasarete-airantou = Cautious Extremely FUNNY!
Im going to describe everything which is great with gintama
1. Can make the smallest things into a episode that you will love.
2. Can get away with just dumb filler.
3. Loves to lie and we enjoy it
4.can make the most serious moments funny
5.so many jokes that have you laughing soo hard
6. Side characters add so much more humor
7. they do certain things on purpose so for us to laugh
GINTAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is the funniest anime in the WORLD!!!!!!!!! XD
seriously!
but i’ll give some on your’s a try as well :p
(GINTAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
What do you guys think of Beelzebub and Nichijou?
where’s gintama in all of this ? it is the funniest storytelling in animated medium, ever.
Thanks a lot! I was looking for some good animes and was so grateful I stumbled upon this list. You had the longest comments ever
Personally, I think that the best one is The World God Only Knows. I just absolutely love it!
@neko
Are you going to update the list again soon?
Also Gintama FTW
@Bakaiser there will be another update for the list but I can’t say how soon just yet.
To be honest the list was supposed to be updated last month, but right now it seems like I might only be able to really get to work on in around end of August. There are a few series I want to re-watch first to refresh my memory on some of the newer series.
When I do update it will be updated in the RSS and also mentioned in the comments here, so please do subscribe to either the rss or the comments
where is gintama? Obviously you either haven’t seen it or your an idiot.
I just started watching Gintama recently
EVERYONE REJOICE A SECOND SEASON OF Baka to Test to Shokanju is coming out tomorrow. Spread the new as much as possible and get ready to laugh
It’s been released but there are no subs yet. Just wait patiently for the show to be subbed
Baka to Test to Shokanju Ni impressions here
http://anime.osiristeam.net/thoughts/baka-to-test-to-shokanju-ni-still-as-good-as-ever/
Gintama sure to make you laugh
Go watch Detroit Metal City. It’s definitely the best damn comedy out there.

BEELZEBUB PRESENT ROCKS
REBORN ALSO IN TH ELIST
NEKO KUN!!!!!!!
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cldnt come by in a loooooooooooooong time! did u watch Sket Dance? how are u?? n a BIG hi 2 WIZ too
Hello Neko kun!
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cldnt come by in a loooooooooooooong time! did u watch Sket Dance? how are u?? n a BIG hi 2 WIZ too
You should watch Nichijou it will beat every single one of those xD
@xii definitely had lots of LOL moments in gintama so far ;D
@minoru i still haven’t found it yet
@Rey ah yes Maid-sama is pretty good too
@Shafi i’ve only watched a few episodes, haven’t had time to finish it yet >.<
@Vin HEYYYYY!!!!! How you’ve been xD haven’t had the chance to watch it yet too. too many anime to watch, so little time *sigh*
@Tommy Nichijou is kinda hit and miss for me, but I’ve only seen a few eps so far so can’t really say much about it yet
I suggest to List 20 funniest animes, and make a poll
I know, we’re being overwhelmed with new anime this summer
) Works for me! Hi Vin, an Neko and “Hi” to everyone else. I’m still stuck with Gintama so… nothing new here, but I’m not complaining ^_^
Mister Top List, let me say why are u toguths about Gintama wrong. You know, i was like you, didn’t think its THAT funny. But the moment u get into charachters, you’ll DIE! So my suggestion is to stick to it and see it’s miracles
I think u should watch mitsudomoe. It is in my top 10 funniest animation i had watch… Try it ya…. Hope it also enters your top 10 list.
uhm… nobody ever thought about mahoromatic? i thought it was funny
From 2009 to 2011, 2 years of updation and constant ranting. Among all these chaos only few comments about Gintama, the funniest anime of all times.
I am visibly depressed….
@sagara, ah, I’m planning something like that… lol
@WIZ, I’m behind on my Gintama >.<
@IvanS, Getting there!
@Kelvinchan, noted!
@russel96, haha yeah Mahoromatic is a classic!
@Gintama, actually there are a lot of comments about Gintama, more so than any others. the last time this post was updated I had just started watching the series so it’s not surprising that it didn’t make it at the time
i guess school rumble is the most funny anime ever! and to forget mentioning nodame cantabile
Air Gear Dub funniest one that got to me.
Gintama for the win !! xD
I won’t ever grow tired of watching this series…. !!! XD
U FORGOT INUYASHA! thats one of the most FUNNIEST ANIMES EVER!…you are LOST
Ghost stories anime is one of the funniest anime i have seen in a while hi-larious like omg can laugh until tears roll down hehe….wish they make a second season
Well for me funny anime are :
1.Gintama
I do agree not all episodes are BLOODY funny but some are … The characters were awesome & i must say you have to love the main character Gintoki….Its a nice story & most of the characters are genuine & there are some stupidest moments can make you laugh all the sudden (WARNING:DON’T WATCH IT DURING THE MIDNIGHT YOU WILL LAUGH LIKE HELL & WORST YOUR NEIGHBORS MIGHT HEAR YOU)
2.School Rumble & Second Generation
This is totally almost similar with high school love life where a girl likes a guy but he/she might/not know it but with a twist of wackiest scenes…The most bubbly character Tenma likes the most Eccentric guy Karasuma while the quiet but ambitious guy Harima likes Tenma … plus the rest of weird plus normal characters you can imagine the atmosphere of them being together a weird thing…
3.InuYasha
…
I know some people or maybe most of the people might not find InuYasha quite humorous but maybe because you people might have of this mind set that InuYasha is just an action & romantic anime while forgetting it had some comedy genre in it . Its also a funny anime to watch because of InuYasha immature & dense personality . InuYasha scenes with Shippo always cracks me up not forgetting Miroku womanizing scenes (LOL) . Its actually one of my MOST favourite anime of all time
4.Shaman King
This is one of the anime that is lovable by young at heart fans . Ryo , Horo-Horo & Choco Love (If i am not mistaken :p ) were actually the ones who lighten up the story lines into comedy moments . There’s one part cracks me up when Lyzerg decided to join the angel team thing then Ryo reaction his hair from The 80′s in a second turn flat (LOL) . I need to re-watch again :{
This is my opinion :p …
I found a mistake! You misspelled the number one anime, i think its spelled Gintama.
After I watched 70 episodes of Gintama, I say that it’s so boring, unfunny, and there is even nothing unique about it. It’s just a shounen series that parodies other shounen series made for the average shounen fans. I can’t wait for it to get “good” since those 70 episodes I watched bored me to tears. I did want to continue, but then I’d have to go through 130+ episodes of Gintoki who annoys the hell out of me.
And it almost pisses me off that people would say that there are no anime that can even compare Gintama.
Also, I don’t care what Gintama fans think. I’m just voicing my opinion.
Vote for K-ON and Lucky Star.
Mio-Chan!
i watched 50+ episodes of gintama….not really up to the name…. for me… full metal panic rocks!!!!
lol i was gonna say Gintama is one of the best funny anime, and then i kinda skimmed the comments, and saw lot of people already mention it XD
i also rec u to watch Hetalia and Arakawa under the bridge <- i thought Gintama was crazy, then i watched Arakawa, and i was like 'WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? (In a good way lol) (Hetalia.. can be offensive to some people..)
hey. does anyone knows animes like “is this a zombie?” i love animes like this its romance comedy action parody and magic. acsualy im from lithuania so i would make a few misstakes. so if anyone has wached this anime (myy faw) plz post. i love animes like this
@thestupefy I’m just about to get started on Nodame
@Sup Didn’t really liked Air Gear anime, felt that the manga was wayyy better to be honest
But it was the anime that got me started on the manga lol
@Insanity666 lol
@Kisa & Miaki Yeah InuYasha truly has its moments xD and yes, Shaman King too!
@Mervin Ghost Stories? Gotta watch out for that o.o
@KG6 lol
@teh & ikuan_goku No worries, everyone is voicing their own opinions here! And I have to somewhat agree with you
@unknownsolution Yeah, I loved Hetalia too! Never knew history could be so much fun. Now if only they started showing this during history lessons…
@alan do you mean “Kore wa Zombie Desu ka”? I’ve been meaning to catch it but haven’t had the chance yet
Kimi ni todoke is also FUNNY. i like how sawako and kazehaya becomes friends. They have lots of hilarious parts:)
Where’s Desert Punk?
Yes, Gintama is the greatest comedy of all time. Just based on the comments on this article, we can clearly see that it freaking owns and is the closest you can get to a perfect episode.
Hey neko I read this looking for a new anime and I agree that Minami-ke is the bomb, another funny one would have to be Sora No Otoshimono, here’s a preview of the humour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wou9puvBPzU
Hey! Where’s Bokusatsu tenshi Dokuro-chan? That anime is very funny (for me) ..but if you watch it you will like it
GINTAMA!!!!
Ranma was a really great anime, although I didn’t like the ending… If I were to recommend a funny anime one would be the wallflower. Its pretty funny

Some of them might not be funny for everyone but check them out, you might like them.
nobody heard of bokusatsu tenshi dokuro-chan? that shit is mad funny. definitely the funniest anime i’ve ever seen. some people don’t like it cause it’s too random and it doesn’t make any sense. but i like it as long as it’s funny, i don’t care if it doesn’t make sense.
Eden of the East (The full series, and both movies) is a little confusing but it gave me feel good tingles around my body. :3
I think that i will try watching Full Metal Panic FUMUFFO!
It looks like fun, and action!
In my opinion I think Nichijou is really funny you should try watching it. (can watch at http://www.animecrazy.net)
where is Gintama?
wtf?? beelzedub way more funnyer then all these top 10
ok you might think of adding mikki ramen fighter on the list
HEYYY. just saying but most of the ones recommended on there is just repeating itself. hows about instead of putting a bunch of repeating, put some that haven’t been mentioned but are still worthy.
p.s. i know that people repeat the same anime over and over again because they really want you to watch it but still.
p.p.s/p.s.s?? i know that im being a party pooper. sorry
ok i maight have no right to ask this, but whats a sadist? i’ve seen it in plenty of animes but i don’t know what it is
sadist: someone who obtains pleasure from inflicting pain or others.
Repeated mentions/suggestions just means the series is just more popular. But it’s good to have a mix of popular votes and more unique mentions. Let’s people know what’s more mainstream for those who likes them.
Ohhh, thanks.
you are a moron, your top10 consists of crappy harem and ecchi animes you probably find it sooo hilarious when they kiss or when they give you a fanservice? never seen such a horrible comedy top10
@Haha, maybe you can share your own list? And if you’ve actually watched them, you would have realized most of them aren’t harem or ecchi.
Seto no hanayome (probably the best comedy on the market thus far),My ordinary life(ie Nichijou)
School rumble (my favorite, nostalgia reasons though)
judging by your top10 you should prolly go for toradora!, clannad, midori no hibi… Can’t remember most of em anymore. any way i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good comedy anime without childish themes, lack of story, and same ole same ole harem stuff…
I think Beelzebub and Nichijou funny too
Not Sure if it was mentioned before but, Keroro Gunsou(Sgt. Frog) is really cool!
Great Teacher Onizuka will beat all 3 seasons of Miname-ke any day in terms of comedy
My last comment for 2011!!! teehee!!!!!!!! I hope U n Wiz r doing ok neko kun! have u watched bakumen? (stupid Q) I jst started n i love it so far!! n if u haven’t u MUST watch chihayafuru, it’s funny ( to me atleast ) and u would love psychic detective yakumo! not exactly funny but a good watch nevertheless…. btw, y no updates on twitter since nov? hope u r having a FAB time!! oh and HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR NEKO N WIZ!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
Happy 2012! Yeah, I’m loving Bakuman especially the manga ;D
lol about the twitter, yeah have been neglecting it for a bit. Really need to start getting back into it.
Planned to do a new update a couple of months ago but have been pretty busy working on the games. One good thing is during this time I started to put together an idea for an app about the funniest animes so I’ll probably coordinate the update and the launch of the app to go together if all goes well
HAPPY 2012!!!!!!! Hope this year brings us awesome anime and manga
I can’t wait till ur app comes out!!!
it sounds fab! btw, i liked ur FB page, but I think u shld tweet the link too so ur followers there will also like it..
Thanks Vin! ;D
watch Kaichou wa maid sama. It is hilarious!
Don’t know if anyone has suggested this yet, or you’ve already watched it, but there’s a fairly new series called Nichijou, which follows in Lucky Star’s footsteps a lot, like having some of the same voice actors, being funny in the most random ways, and it just makes you feel weird inside (probably from laughing!) Kinda said it also only had like, 26 episodes, it probably could have gone on longer… just something to look up if you have some free time!
i love ouran high school host club honey is so cute.
yoh! Hey VIN!!!! Hey Neko!!! *big-hug. What’s up guys? I see everyone made it safely to 2012. Quick! give me your funniest anime to watch until the end of the world comes!!! X_x ….. I wonder if they have anime in the afterlife ^_^
LOL Wiz!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna die while watching anime!! and I sure hope they have anime in the afterlife!!! have u tried chihayafuru? kinda funny but awesome!!
you forgot something
)
kaichou wa maid sama
Kachou wa maid sama isnt on the list ???????????????????
I LOVE Ouran Highschool Host club, it’s one of the reasons why I got back into anime actually <3 I really want another anime like it, but it will forever be one of my faves~
baka and test….greatest anime ever
Gintama..is..really GOOD!!! it will make you laugh ur FAO!!!
Gintama should be in #1 place!! >.<
GINTAMAAA
u should check out dears
Hey, you forgot to put Gintama on the list.
It’s on whole another level from all anime you mentioned , i can assure you. Not like i disagree with the list anything but at least put Gintama in the list!!
try watching urusei yatsura, one of rumiko takahashi’s first animes, and after the first few episodes, becomes one of the funniest shows that i’ve ever seen.
Lucky Star is so funny it makes me cry
Oruan high school host club is funny 2
Wallflower is unforgetable and funny
other then that nice top 10 list
Not sure if anyone’s recomended this yet – i didn’t have the time to look through all the other comments haha – but Beelzabub is really funny. I’ve been watching it non-stop this past week and constantly get loud knocks on my door to get me to shut up my laughing fits xD
Gintama of all anime, if you Ctrl+F(Gintama)
results = 157
if you have watch it in your own langguage, it is very fucking FUNNY, the timing sound, randomness and it’s Humor, if you would count it’s humor and jokes it have 20+ humor and joke. and as you watch it on-going episodes it gets really better
Try watching it on your own langguage(DUBBED) and watch its serious arc(Quotes in Gintama ROCKS)
