Any recommendations for funny animes? I’m looking for some Comedy stuff. Watched the devil is a part timer and it was kinda funny and lighthearted.
Binbougami ga, DMC and Killing Bites because it is horrible.

In the anime it's slower than molasses from a sloth's asshole.

That was your mistake. Watching the anime instead of reading the manga. I mean I enjoyed the anime a lot, it was what got me into one piece more than 15 years ago, but I completely dropped it shortly after the time skip when the pacing and animation got worse.

Although I have been meaning to watch the current arc, since it got a lot better again from what I have heard in terms of production. As well as the arc before it.

I'm doing both. I started reading it in like 2003.

I'll second the Azumanga Daioh recommendation.
School Rumble is my personal favorite anime comedy.
Baka and Test and Nichijou are both really great.
Watamote is great at cringe-type humor.
My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering with my School Romantic Comedy (fucking light novel titles, I swear to god) was pretty good.
Haganai was a solid mix of harem and comedy.
I never finished it, but what I saw of Ben-To was really fun.
Is This a Zombie?! is a great action/comedy series (at least Season 1, I never got around to S2)
Pani Poni Dash is like a mix of comedy and an acid trip at times. I really liked it, but be warned that it's really bizarre
The first half of Gamers! was really funny, kinda like School Rumble with the misunderstandings. The second half kinda went a different direction, it was enjoyable just not as funny.

Apologies that a lot of these are a bit older, so they may not be on current streaming sites.

I mean, depends on what you're looking for. Since you mentioned Gantz, I didn't get around to reading the final arc, but everything before that is really good. The first 8 volumes (not sure how many are collected in each omnibus) might test your patience with the main character but there's an eventual pay-off with his character development.

For other shonen/seinen with varying levels of dark elements, of the ones I've read I'd recommend Berserk, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, and The Promised Neverland.

Rosario Vampire is a good shout. Only season 1 though, S2 was a massive letdown. There's also jitsu wa watashi wa, haganai, shomin sample and I think outbreak company might have had some comedy bits.
Oh, also there's shimoneta. If you've never watched it it's set in some kind of dystopian hell hole where everything lewd has been banned by law.

Wish they would do it as a seasonal anime, the animation and pacing would be so much better. But toei will never do that, cause one piece is that morning anime that has to run weekly.
but the problem with that stupid animation drag had nothing to do with seasonal or not...even dragon ball, naruto not have this problem..and yet one piece..even simple piece of action is ridiculously unneededly few secs drag...its like playing game with serious input lag issue...whats funny is movie version didnt have this issue

Just realised I should also have stated that if anyone does plan to watch season 2 of RosaVam do so BEFORE reading the manga. I think my opinion of season 2 was heavily affected by the manga as I consider it to be in my top 5 and the anime went in a completely different direction and suffered for it.

Recommending Chainsaw Man. I like this better than Fire Punch. Surprising that I'm enjoying a shonen manga for a change.

I wonder if the Persona 5 anime has any chance of being dubbed? Probably not? I don’t even know who has the US rights to it. Lol.

I’ve been thinking about giving subs a try. Usually I’m a dub man, but I kinda want to be a purist like you guys. I just don’t know if I can keep up with it. Hopefully I can get better as I go along. Any good sub only series you’d recommend me to experiment with?

Try something slower paced. Spice and Wolf maybe?

My 11 year old RELATIVE can read Saiki no problem.

This is so filled with "how economy works" bullshit that I forgot what it was about (wolf god?) and dropped it (years ago), I don't think it's good as first sub anime.



Maybe try something not that heavy on story side to get adjusted and once you do you won't be able to go back to silly dubbing :)
Yeah I was thinking less understanding and more the general pace, that's why I suggested spice and wolf. Fair point though, the terminology can be a pain to follow.

nice unrelated post
Bro (you) were shitting on mainstream stuff for being mainstream multiple times yet you are getting WET (moistest) over the most mainstream/longest manga on planet Earth. Then you are telling ME to stick to slice of life stuff as if that is a bad thing. (pleb) BRUH.

Ya still sizzlin about Fire Emblem Waifu Wars? Ya can't enjoy a good shounen from time to time since it doesn't have little girls in it eating onigiri? Too much plot for ya? Too many things going on for ya?

No, this is from this same thread. But the post was relevant.

I never said that m8. I'm asking you why shit doesn't apply to you. In this same thread there are anti-jojo/aot post by (you) just for being mainstream.

Also OP has a craploads of filler. It is infamous for it. Just like the really LONG proportions.

Just rewatch something you liked but haven’t seen in a while in subs.

AOT is poopy, I don't think I said anything about jojo besides the part 4 ending was disappointing. Easier to just say everything popular is shit than say 90% of it is.

Fuck no. OP barely has any filler. You must be thinking of Naruto or Bleach. Most of those arcs are like 5 eps or less.
One Piece is an ongoing anime series that started in 1999. So far 924 episodes of One Piece have been aired. With a total of 103 reported filler episodes, One Piece has a low filler percentage of 11%.

Also why is Luffy asexual.
He knows not to show those hoes any love

Oh man. I’m liking MHA a lot less even in this festival arc. What is even the point of Gentle and La Brava other than being a minor distraction for Deku? And Deku, granted I skipped some episodes in S3, but I find the kid so brash now, it’s annoying.

lmao are you fucking kidding me? naruto has a fuck ton of filler. almost half the original series is filler. same thing with shippuden.
i am not talk about filler at first beginning lmao

i talk about stupid animation drag..the moment-to-moment pacing ...you know the moment of certain action going to happen and things getting slow like ass with lot of unnecessary scene between the action
its like luffy gonna punch, in manga he immediately hit the guy but in anime, that simple scene take long time to execute, over drag the moment
