Priya BhothPriya-Updated July 18, 2023

Let’s start this with a few jokes. So, ahem. Here’s a question for you all. What kind of ant is so strong that it can knock down trees? Guess, come on.

 

It’s easy. Hm? The answer is elephANT. Haha. Okay, one more. What do you call an elephant that can swim? This one is very very easy. The answer is Swimming TRUNKS.

 

LOL!! Okay, fine. I give up! Don’t glare at the screen, please. I know I can’t make you laugh but I know something that can. The list is below. The collection of the best comedy anime you should binge on.

 

The anime world is very versatile with popular genres like romance, fantasy, and comedy there are also genres like Josei, Yaoi, and Yuri which were often overlooked. But, did you notice what I just said? “Comedy is popular”.

 

Because it is. There are about seven billion people in the world, out of which 3 to 4 billion are between the age of 1-21. And 60% of that population watches anime, which concludes that about 2-3 billion people watch anime.

 

Out of all this, who doesn’t like a good laugh? We all do. But, there is a catch here. Most of the animes are made with a popular genre as a base, be it fantasy, action, shounen, or any other genre.

 

And comedy turns out to be a side dish and not the main course. But, this side dish adds the most important flavor to your meal. So, here goes the list of the most flavoring funny anime of all time.

The Monogatari novel series was written by Nisio Isin and was illustrated by Vofan. It is a Psychological and Mystery thriller with a hint of comedy. The story revolves around a boy named Koyomi Araragi, who even after being bitten by a vampire stays as a human with the help of a man called Meme Oshino.

 

However, few of the vampire attributes remain. As the characteristics stay put, Koyami comes across girls who seem to be facing a few specters (ghost) related issues which the boy ends up solving for the girls, that go by the name Hitago Senjyogahara, Suruga Kanbaru, and Mayoi.

 

And of course, Mr. Oshino helps. This stands at 49 with fewer comedy scenes compared to the rest. Nonetheless, the comedy timing and animation are hilarious. The main character Araragi has driven a lot of comedy scenes in the show.

 

Um… also a few dirty jokes. His interactions with Mayoi are some of the most hilarious moments but not more than with Kanbaru. That girls drive the MC nuts and it’s a lot of fun to watch him like that.

Lovely Complex is a story about a girl and a boy. Well, many stories that we see today are about boys and girls. What’s peculiar about them? Yes, there is something strange about their physique.

 

The boy Atsush is much shorter than average looking guy while the girl, Koizumi Risa is just the opposite. The story begins with fights and often bickering until they start feeling other than despise for each other.

 

What will Risa do when she finds that her feelings are for something more than friendship with the short guy? Breaking the stereotypes, it is. The reviews are in a bunch about this being one of the rarest mangas which will make you laugh at times and also can make you sob.

Detroit Metal City is an anime with music and hilarious humor. You will not find one anime like this that would make you laugh like crazy with music playing in the background.

 

The story is about the band Detroit Metal City who gives very heavy metal music. They are famous and renowned in the town also because of their lead singer, Johannes Krauser II.

 

He is known to be someone who has just fallen from hell with a loud voice and traumatic appearance. But, he is actually like that? Lol, NO! Krauser is Souichi Negishi, a college student with a calm personality, soft voice, and melody kind of taste in music.

 

Due to the popularity of his outrageous personality, he had to keep himself hidden to meet his daily ends. This would be a hilarious ride with all misunderstandings and wrong encounters with Souichi.

 

Some music anime we got here. That too METAL!! The whole concept of anime revolves around music and comedy. Just go for it if dark humor is your thing.

“High School Boys”, the title itself hint at the area where you will not be able to hear your voice at pitch level. The noise, the chaos, and the stupidity are all you could see here.

 

It is a PURE BLISS to watch. What? I am not joking. It’s true. It gets hilarious to comedy lovers like us when a bunch of boys do things you could never imagine them to but yet find it relatable to your class boys.

 

Like trying on a bra and then getting caught by a female student? Yeah, I know. Trust me when I say there are a bunch more moments like this one.

 

So, why wait? Be ready for some inside jokes though.

Now we talk about comedy and do not have the GINTAMA on the list is impossible. This countdown was meant to end with this entertaining piece because it's worth it. The anime focuses on Gintoki and his friends who live in old Edo and are now protecting the place by fighting off the aliens.

 

Whole in all it’s a Samurai story while the trio takes up odd jobs to survive. The anime is been adapted as a movie, has several seasons with 350 episodes, is one of the longest animes, and remains the most hilarious one.

 

One of the most cherished anime is, Gintama. The comedy timing and plot will make almost all of its season appear here, so beware and keep an open eye for this full entertainment show.

 

With this, we conclude our list. Hope I help you binge on them. The order doesn’t matter, every anime is unique and great in its way. So, have fun. Sayonara!!
