Top 10 Funniest Anime

Posted by Neko Kyou in Thoughts on March 2nd, 2010

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:

  1. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
  2. Chobits
  3. Zero no Tsukaima
  4. Love Hina
  5. Slam Dunk
  6. Nyan-koi
  7. Seitokai no Ichizon
  8. Midori no Hibi
  9. Fruits Basket
  10. Hetalia Axis Powers
  11. Shugo Chara
  12. Ladies vs Butlers
  13. Honey and Clover
  14. Kobato.
  15. Yakitate Japan
  16. Toradora
  17. Azumanga Daioh
  18. Seto no Hanayome
  19. Kamen no Maid Guy
  20. Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)
  21. Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun
  22. Slayers series
  23. Rosario + Vampire
  24. Lovely Complex
  25. 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.

  2. Neko Kyou | July 8th, 2007 at 3:11 pm

    I haven’t watched those before, will have to give them a try :D Thanks for bringing them up.

  3. kat | July 11th, 2007 at 12:25 am

    You should watch Yakitate Japan. It will blow the rest out of the water.

  4. Neko Kyou | July 11th, 2007 at 12:54 am

    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.

  5. Ismit | July 13th, 2007 at 8:06 pm

    Dude.. what about Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu?

  6. Neko Kyou | July 13th, 2007 at 8:10 pm

    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!

  7. ayla | July 14th, 2007 at 9:17 pm

  9. Neko Kyou | July 19th, 2007 at 12:36 am

    Yeah Apachai rocks lol

  10. Tsukiyumi | September 9th, 2007 at 9:40 am

    I love full metal panic fumoffu it’s the best anime out there and diserves to be in the top spot

  11. Neko Kyou | September 9th, 2007 at 9:44 am

    I’m glad you agree :D FMP is a great series and hopefully there would be a fourth season coming soon.

  12. yabil | September 27th, 2007 at 2:00 am

  14. deb | November 8th, 2007 at 12:27 am

    gakuen alice is funny too! and it has the cool side. :D

  15. Neko Kyou | November 9th, 2007 at 2:45 pm

    I’ve never watched Excel Saga or Gakuen Alice before. I’ll make sure to give them a try before I update the list :D

  16. flame boy | December 7th, 2007 at 8:45 am

    i think Slam Dunk should be in the list as well

  17. Neko Kyou | December 7th, 2007 at 1:04 pm

    Funny you should mention Slam Dunk the day after I finished doing a marathon on rewatching Slam Dunk lol.

  18. Doray | January 6th, 2008 at 6:00 pm

    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.

  19. highanime | January 15th, 2008 at 4:55 am

    hye
    Fumofu is No 1. funniest anime?? yeah, no doubt about it…can exchange link? thx

  20. Cara | January 19th, 2008 at 11:42 am

    If you haven’t watched Goldenboy, you haven’t truly lived. I recommend you watch it and then rethink your list.

  21. kniteowl | January 29th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    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.

  22. Truax | February 4th, 2008 at 3:47 am

    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!!!

  23. Neko Kyou | February 4th, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    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

  24. wormy | February 13th, 2008 at 9:51 am

    I owe u one big time, i just finished Ouran High School Host Club and I loved it thanks for the recomendation.

  25. Neko Kyou | February 13th, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    Glad you enjoyed it :D

  26. that guy | February 18th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

    Try Gintama most random and funny show u’ll ever see…Hitman Reborn is pretty funny too…

  27. Neko Kyou | February 18th, 2008 at 8:53 pm

    Thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely check it out :D

  28. stesma | February 19th, 2008 at 11:45 pm

    vote for Full Metal Panic anime !! :)

  29. joe didulo | February 23rd, 2008 at 8:49 pm

    1.his and her circumstances
    i want 2 include this anime series in the most funniest anime pls. vote 4 his and her circumstances

  30. kniteowl | February 26th, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    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.

  31. Neko Kyou | February 28th, 2008 at 12:38 am

    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.

  32. lol | March 10th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    but… what about gintama????

  33. jaycee925 | March 16th, 2008 at 6:05 pm

    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!!!

  34. Koizumi | March 24th, 2008 at 5:49 am

    I love azumanga daioh and ouran ~! >__< Also try ‘Lovely Complex’, its hilarious~~

  35. rasmundo | April 5th, 2008 at 4:22 pm

    I agree Fumoffu being the funniest. Did anybody mentioned ‘School Rumble’ ,’Midori no Hibi’and ‘Mahoraba’? It’s top ten in my list.

  36. Zouie | April 26th, 2008 at 2:13 am

    GTO Great teacher Onizuka should be on there somewhere, hilarious anime.

  37. clooverchan | April 26th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

    i will watch the anime taht u have mention…
    uh~ feel happy!!

  38. clooverchan | April 26th, 2008 at 12:51 pm

    i think u should put katekyoushi hitman reborn too…
    that anime is superb!!

  39. freezeman | April 28th, 2008 at 10:29 pm

    I’m glad you agree :D FMP is a great series and hopefully there would be a fourth season coming soon.

    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)

  40. freezeman | April 28th, 2008 at 10:44 pm

    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!!!

  41. Neko Kyou | April 29th, 2008 at 9:24 pm

    Fumoffu can be considered the 2nd season of FMP since it came out in between FMP and TSR.

  42. kaike | May 30th, 2008 at 7:57 am

    you havent seen bokusatsu tenshi dokuro-chan obviously… lol that sh!t is so random…

  43. pinkfart | June 15th, 2008 at 8:30 pm

    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. :D

  44. Neko Kyou | June 15th, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    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.

  45. Nanahachi | July 17th, 2008 at 8:27 am

    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

  46. Itzamar | July 18th, 2008 at 8:56 am

    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!!!!

  47. ase | July 25th, 2008 at 5:49 am

    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!!!

  48. stephen | July 25th, 2008 at 8:14 pm

    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.!!!

  49. Itzamar | July 25th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    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?

  50. Nanahachi | August 14th, 2008 at 9:25 am

    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

  51. WIZ | August 14th, 2008 at 5:39 pm

    How about GTO(Great Teacher Onizuka)? If it was me I’d place it in top 3

  52. Chowder | August 16th, 2008 at 1:57 am

    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

  53. Ari | September 10th, 2008 at 9:13 pm

    Dude, you like Totaly forgot Yakitate Japan

  54. Suyuan | October 9th, 2008 at 6:40 pm

    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!

  55. lovesanime | October 13th, 2008 at 3:12 pm

    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 ^^

  56. stephen | October 25th, 2008 at 9:56 am

    Ooh here i am again, and yeah, GTO and Yakitate Japan Were forgotten.!!!!

  57. kyoko | October 27th, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    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…

  58. tvchannels2pc | October 28th, 2008 at 6:37 am

    I love Shaman King!

    Did you forget to count naruto?

  59. rune-rune | November 12th, 2008 at 9:16 pm

    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

  60. Gabriella | November 21st, 2008 at 5:52 am

    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.

  61. haysam | December 14th, 2008 at 6:47 pm

    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.

  62. Wind | December 22nd, 2008 at 12:51 pm

    Dude! where’s Gintama?!

  63. TsukiUsagi | December 29th, 2008 at 7:07 am

    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

  64. WIZ | December 29th, 2008 at 6:06 pm

    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 :D People come here looking for funny anime (I’m one of them ^^)

    Think about it ;)

    P.S. Don’t forget school rumble :P

    Regards, WIZ

  65. enforcer9 | December 31st, 2008 at 10:10 am

    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 :)

  66. Argenis R. | January 9th, 2009 at 10:46 pm

    aww, I’ve seen all these shows and none of them made me laugh…

    yes people It takes a lot for me to laugh

  67. Fruits basket girl | February 5th, 2009 at 11:28 am

    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

  68. 504boy | February 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 pm

    Where is golden boy

  69. otaku | March 26th, 2009 at 2:06 am

    A question… Where is Pani Poni dash…?? IMO it was funnier then Azumanga daioh (which IMO was a really funny anime)…???

  70. Abuzar | March 30th, 2009 at 12:27 am

    Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is very good ill try other animes too
    but try watching “Lovely Complex” and “Final Approach”

  71. 88 movement | April 11th, 2009 at 6:11 am

    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.

  72. atayyou | April 11th, 2009 at 9:36 pm

    hey how about maburaho?????

    it’s still funny right?

  73. zzzzz | April 12th, 2009 at 5:37 am

    You’re missing GTO and School rumble

  74. Movie Man | April 12th, 2009 at 5:29 pm

    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!

  75. forte | April 13th, 2009 at 2:18 pm

    hey u might try watching galaxy angel and naruto.. your top 10 sure is accurate

  76. Neko Kyou | April 13th, 2009 at 4:04 pm

    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 :D

    This is my most popular post ever since I made it, so it deserves to get freshen up a little ;)

  77. WIZ | April 21st, 2009 at 9:26 pm

    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 :D

    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 ;)

  78. Neko Kyou | April 22nd, 2009 at 1:48 am

    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.

  79. WIZ | April 22nd, 2009 at 2:31 am

    Ye, you’re right. Anyways, If you need help let us know ^_^

  80. Pohl | April 23rd, 2009 at 3:24 pm

    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.^^

  81. sushi | April 24th, 2009 at 4:37 am

    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!

  82. Prometheus | May 7th, 2009 at 4:21 am

    How about Sgt. Frog (Keroro) ? Also School Rumble.

  83. Caroline | May 24th, 2009 at 10:59 am

    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!

  84. oii | May 28th, 2009 at 12:14 am

    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: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 :D

  85. Dreamer | May 28th, 2009 at 11:35 pm

    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.

  86. respondtomylist | June 3rd, 2009 at 4:31 am

    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.

  87. Neko Kyou | June 3rd, 2009 at 10:01 am

    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 ;)

  88. WIZ | June 3rd, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    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!

  89. Neko Kyou | June 3rd, 2009 at 1:20 pm

    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.

  90. WIZ | June 3rd, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    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 ^_^

  91. kk | June 11th, 2009 at 1:20 pm

    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).

  92. Neko Kyou | June 11th, 2009 at 11:00 pm

    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 :D (I just don’t want to break myself trying to rank 50 different anime)

    kk: The Second Raid is awesome :D 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 :D

  93. WIZ | June 12th, 2009 at 12:42 am

    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 ^_^

  94. Bloomie | June 15th, 2009 at 9:01 pm

    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.

  95. UnendingFaith | June 19th, 2009 at 2:50 am

    GTO Great Teacher Onizuka is a must see for me its the greatest comedy anime of all xD

  96. Mikala | June 21st, 2009 at 3:06 am

    lol i luv this xD!!
    Ouran High school Host club is the funniest thing EVER!!!

  97. Zura | June 29th, 2009 at 7:13 am

    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!

  98. WIZ | June 29th, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    Your list is… debatable, but it’s almost the same with the original so… nah ^_^

  99. R.Zorro | June 30th, 2009 at 9:28 am

    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

  100. Harima | July 2nd, 2009 at 11:02 am

    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

  101. mo-kun | July 3rd, 2009 at 10:56 am

    gintama should be #1!!!!!

  102. KaguraYato | July 3rd, 2009 at 1:19 pm

    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!

  103. Ren | July 3rd, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    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

  104. Neko Kyou | July 3rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm

    Then I really gotta give Gintama a watch :)

  105. Zura | July 4th, 2009 at 4:52 am

    Neko Kyou, make sure you watch episodes subbed by rumbel subs. Crunchyroll is not very good.

  106. Neko Kyou | July 5th, 2009 at 12:37 pm

    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

  107. WIZ | July 5th, 2009 at 7:18 pm

    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)

  108. Andrew | July 6th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

    Sumomomo momomo and Seto no hanayome should be on the list or a close follow.

  109. Zura | July 7th, 2009 at 1:07 pm

    @ 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’

  110. Ren | July 9th, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    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.

  111. JUles | July 10th, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    dude wat about ‘school rumble’ it was way too funny

    and ‘golden boy’ its only 7 episodes long but its GOOD!

  112. Neko Kyou | July 11th, 2009 at 6:59 am

    @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.

  113. kk | July 12th, 2009 at 6:07 am

    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.

  114. WIZ | July 12th, 2009 at 6:46 am

    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 ^_^

  115. Riki | July 12th, 2009 at 6:51 pm

    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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.

  119. WIZ | July 13th, 2009 at 4:29 am

    Well, if you want my number one, it’s Toradora ^_^

    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?

  129. Jesus the Pimp | August 28th, 2009 at 1:23 pm

    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

  130. blah blah bla | August 30th, 2009 at 12:04 am

    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 :P

  131. jashmister | August 30th, 2009 at 10:16 am

    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

  132. huntherx17 | September 1st, 2009 at 10:35 am

    nice list, but where is Sukuran?

  133. Vini | September 1st, 2009 at 10:52 pm

    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!

  138. berry xoxox | October 31st, 2009 at 5:09 pm

  139. Toni | November 4th, 2009 at 10:08 am

    Dude…Seto No Hanayome all the way! That show had my stomach hurting by the end of each episode.

  140. Josh | November 9th, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    Words cannot express how sad I am to see that this list and every commenter on this page failed to mention FLCL.

  141. angel | November 11th, 2009 at 8:39 am

  142. allen | November 13th, 2009 at 3:27 pm

  145. Hefalump | November 26th, 2009 at 3:34 am

    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.

  146. anime | November 29th, 2009 at 9:09 am

    i believe ranma and azumangga daioh are really funny! ill be watching those other funny series too! hetalia seem to be funny too!

  147. JMQuijanz | November 29th, 2009 at 3:09 pm

    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!)

  148. ivalice | December 8th, 2009 at 2:36 am

    Yeah, Gintama #1
    almost every episode pawns all funny anime I’ve seen before.
    Then, there’s Ranma as #2
    Akazukin too

  149. ANIME LOVER | December 9th, 2009 at 6:40 am

    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

  150. muizz | December 11th, 2009 at 3:06 pm

    u should watch “seto no hanayome” is a love comedy. From my opinion this is 1st top 10 ever

  151. Harutan | December 16th, 2009 at 12:04 am

    School Rumble
    Lucky star
    Special A
    Hayate no gotoku!
    Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu
    Seto no hanayome

    Weren’t in the list.

  152. Meli | December 23rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm

    Excel Saga and Golden Boy are the funniest EVERRRRRRR!

  153. MasterPiece | December 24th, 2009 at 4:03 pm

    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.

  154. AnimeFreak!! | December 25th, 2009 at 12:59 pm

    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???

  155. MEH | December 28th, 2009 at 7:51 am

    Ouran is awsome, but wheres Lucky Star? DDD:

  156. Kagome | December 29th, 2009 at 3:20 am

    INUYASHA IS FUNNIEST ANIME IN LIFE. YOU KNOW NOTHING.

  157. Dudead | December 29th, 2009 at 4:25 pm

    GTO is the funniest in IMO (GTO-Great Teacher Onizuka)

  158. S-killZ | January 5th, 2010 at 9:15 am

    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!’”

  159. im gay | January 16th, 2010 at 11:38 am

    wat bout lucky star thats funny…

  160. im gay | January 16th, 2010 at 11:45 am

    is toradora funny??

  161. WIZ | January 16th, 2010 at 7:54 pm

    Yup, toradora has it’s share of funny moments

  162. JJC | January 18th, 2010 at 3:11 pm

    hmmm… howz about Nagasarate Airantou

  163. harima kenji | January 19th, 2010 at 12:36 pm

    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.

  164. Maokoto | January 19th, 2010 at 8:20 pm

    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

  165. Neko Kyou | January 21st, 2010 at 7:24 pm

    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 :)

  166. WIZ | January 21st, 2010 at 7:27 pm

    Yay, can’t wait ^_^

  167. Neko Kyou | January 21st, 2010 at 7:36 pm

    Damn, that was fast lol

  168. WIZ | January 22nd, 2010 at 2:30 pm

    Is it done yet? How about now? Maybe now? now? now, now, now???

  169. Goldenboy^^ | February 4th, 2010 at 5:52 am

    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

  170. David | February 13th, 2010 at 2:56 am

    What about soul eater……..that is such i funny show……. XD

  171. sandwhale | February 15th, 2010 at 6:21 am

    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.

  172. *_FoWaRd ChIc-* | February 15th, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    omg i think full metal panic should be no.2 and Fruits Basket shoul BE no.1 right

  173. Vini | February 17th, 2010 at 3:49 am

    -grabs coke n chips- Im going to camp out here till the new list is out………. :D

    NEKO-SAMA GAMBATTE!

  174. Vini | February 17th, 2010 at 3:52 am

    and dont forget SKIP BEAT!! ouran, fruit basket, special A, wallflower and skip beat will always be ma faves!!!

  175. WIZ | February 17th, 2010 at 4:05 am

    haha, another one joined the waiting crew, welcome Vini ^_^

  176. Vini | February 18th, 2010 at 11:22 pm

    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???

  177. Neko Kyou | February 19th, 2010 at 11:30 pm

    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.

  178. WIZ | February 22nd, 2010 at 8:00 am

    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? >_>

  179. Vini | February 22nd, 2010 at 11:59 pm

    heheheeeeee.. Im with Wiz… gambatte Neko kun!!!

    oooh.. i got a glass of water just in case ;)

    ur welcome Wiz… :D try skip beat too if u havnt tryd it yet.. n i jst nw finished nyan-koi… its hilariously kawaaai!!!!

  180. Neko Kyou | February 23rd, 2010 at 12:41 am

    Yeah, definitely give Nyan-Koi a try, it’s one of the new series that made the new list :D

  181. Vini | March 1st, 2010 at 2:02 pm

    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  182. Neko Kyou | March 1st, 2010 at 4:38 pm

    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

  183. WIZ | March 2nd, 2010 at 6:33 am

    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!

  184. Neko Kyou | March 2nd, 2010 at 9:16 am

    The new list isn’t up yet, lol.

  185. Vini | March 2nd, 2010 at 1:00 pm

    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……..!!!!!!!!!!!

  186. WIZ | March 2nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm

    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 :)

  187. Neko Kyou | March 2nd, 2010 at 5:49 pm

    Updated.

    *runs and hides*

  188. WIZ | March 2nd, 2010 at 9:48 pm

    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 ^_^

  189. Vini | March 3rd, 2010 at 12:30 am

    awwwww.. its ok Wiz… :D 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 :D just like Wiz, I cant wait 2 read the follow up posts… btw.. ARIGATHO NEKO KUN!!!

  190. Vini | March 3rd, 2010 at 12:36 am

    oooooooh n Wiz… a BIG ARIGATHO 2 U TOO!!! for the anime :D 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…

  191. moritheil | March 3rd, 2010 at 2:42 am

    The difficulty of such a list is indeed maintaining it. Some interesting picks; a nice mix of old and new!

  192. Neko Kyou | March 6th, 2010 at 4:00 pm

    Thanks, guys :)

  193. Kemchi | March 12th, 2010 at 7:58 am

    You know what’s great?! Bobobobo bo bo bo I think that’s how you spell it :L

  194. GaiShin | March 16th, 2010 at 2:20 pm

    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

  195. Paulinea | March 17th, 2010 at 2:16 pm

    Where is Gintama? :(

  196. Filmoland | April 2nd, 2010 at 5:57 pm

    I recommend you watch Goldenboy and then edit the list.

  197. Stephen | April 7th, 2010 at 6:21 am

    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! :D

  198. Sami Khan | April 9th, 2010 at 6:05 pm

    Lovely complex sucks after 7 or 8 episodes Hs kenichi is more of an action anime (i was fooled but fine).

  199. WIZ | April 9th, 2010 at 11:07 pm

    I really liked Lovely complex… By the way Neko, what do you think about the new animes that started this month?

  200. anitan | April 11th, 2010 at 1:27 pm

    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.

  201. Rose | April 27th, 2010 at 7:38 am

    hey have you tried The Wallflower its hilarious you should watch it and you should try skip beat to ^_^

  202. Neko Kyou | April 27th, 2010 at 7:49 am

    @Rose, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is the Japanese name for The Wallflower :)

  203. kyosei | April 29th, 2010 at 5:49 am

    Should try Sexy Commando. Makes me bust up every time.

  204. F@n oF aLl | May 3rd, 2010 at 11:01 am

    To: ALL

    WHY DOES NO ONE LIKE BAKA TO TEST TO SHOUKANJUU?????

    ITS THE BEST TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!

  205. Stephen | May 6th, 2010 at 6:51 am

    happy sinco de mayo everyone :D

  206. Rose | May 7th, 2010 at 7:57 am

    i thought Baka to Test Shoukanjuu was hilarious! is there a second season?

  207. golden boy | May 7th, 2010 at 10:07 am

    HEYYY!!!!! GOLDEN BOY IS THE FUNNIEST ANIME I EVER WATCHED.. its not in the list…

  208. F@n oF aLl | May 8th, 2010 at 9:17 am

    I’m sorry but there’s a 2nd season anonnced on april 1st.

  209. Lawrence | May 10th, 2010 at 3:34 am

    baka to test to shoukanjuu.. YEAH!! its ROCKS!! awesome.. so funny.. the funniest i mean.. :D D

  210. André | May 17th, 2010 at 6:32 am

    Seto no Hanayome … pure comedy :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  211. school rumble freak | May 18th, 2010 at 6:35 am

    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

  212. diavo | May 18th, 2010 at 7:19 pm

    No Gintama on the list = Huge FAIL

  213. WIZ | May 18th, 2010 at 9:54 pm

    I liked gintama too. Maybe Neko would do us a small favor and add it on the next update ^_^

  214. Sul92 | May 23rd, 2010 at 11:52 pm

    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!

  215. lil-gin | May 26th, 2010 at 6:20 pm

    LOOL! no gintama O,O

  216. F@n oF aLl | May 27th, 2010 at 7:12 am

    gintama…….. I kinda like it!

  217. Zura2 | May 27th, 2010 at 4:04 pm

    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.

  218. Lakeria123 | May 29th, 2010 at 8:18 am

    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.

  219. gotikdolL | June 4th, 2010 at 2:26 am

    wahhh… there are so many funny animes..XD
    i think this aniMes are funny too.. hihiHihi >;D
    > bacanno!
    > desert punk

  220. F@n oF aLl | June 4th, 2010 at 2:29 pm

    Have anyone heard of Black Cat? I think it is kinda funny!

  221. Neko Kyou | June 4th, 2010 at 3:31 pm

    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.

  222. goldenchocobo | June 6th, 2010 at 9:54 am

    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.

  223. StormViruz | June 20th, 2010 at 1:39 am

    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.

  227. Yui_Chan | July 13th, 2010 at 4:22 am

    Wheres “BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO”?

  228. scene9010 | July 14th, 2010 at 6:37 am

    dont forget about angel beats.!
    thats like my favorite anime now xx]

  229. WIZ | July 14th, 2010 at 7:12 am

    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 ^_^

  230. Neko Kyou | July 14th, 2010 at 2:35 pm

    Angel Beats had so much comedic potential of epic proportions… too bad they didn’t really make use of that :(

  231. WIZ | July 14th, 2010 at 5:39 pm

    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

  232. Kintaro Oe | July 24th, 2010 at 10:38 am

    Golden Boy is a must see!!! In fact, I’m going to watch it for the 100th time right now… STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!

  233. alphy | August 5th, 2010 at 3:10 am

    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. :)

  234. Seto No Hanayome | August 5th, 2010 at 9:01 am

    Try Seto No Hanayome One of the funniest Anime Out There :)

  235. MaXtitaN | August 7th, 2010 at 9:49 pm

    Where is Gintama in this List???? It should be No.1…

  236. WIZ | August 8th, 2010 at 3:54 am

    Gintama is on it’s own different level, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s not on the list ^_^

  237. Harbinger | August 10th, 2010 at 5:47 am

    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.

  238. Neko Kyou | August 10th, 2010 at 8:06 am

    I’ll take a look into Golden Boy, seems to be getting a number of recommendations for it :)

  239. sadistforeva | August 13th, 2010 at 8:29 am

    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

  240. fernaska | August 19th, 2010 at 6:32 pm

    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

  241. Ginta-man | August 22nd, 2010 at 5:30 pm

    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 :o

    - 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.
    FFP fumuffo i lvoe the romance and comedy
    historys strongest disciple kenichi
    yakitate japan
    ouran highschool host club
    fruit basket

    GINTAMA IS INDEED ON ANOTHER LEVEL

    PPS.lol i read everyones comments above so im updated :)

    PEACE AND LOVE GINTA-MAN

  242. slme4 | August 27th, 2010 at 2:17 am

    working!! new anime like it alot must watch all
    the other that were suggested were awesome love hina was another good one old but classic

  243. esra | September 1st, 2010 at 7:46 pm
