Now, Chiyo gets to learn just what goes into making a manga and all the inspirations that go with it. Do you like shoujo manga? Whatever your answer is, you’ll love Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, a series that completely mocks shoujo tropes that we are all too familiar with. And while most people hate oblivious characters (i.e. Hikari from Special A or Ichika from Infinite Stratos), it’s hard to hate Nozaki who makes half of the comedy! Oh, Nozaki, your obliviousness, and pettiness shan’t be forgotten easily. Of course, there are many other characters that help make Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun one of the top comedy anime on our list! Did we mention that this is actually a shounen anime?

Nichijou is the story of three childhood friends who are now in high school, a genius, a robot, and a talking cat. Everything seems normal, but there’s plenty of the absurd. These six characters experience life as they are bitten by a talking crow, hang out together, watch their principal suplex a deer, and walk to school. No day is a dull one in Nichijou. If you’re looking for ridiculously stupid, you’ve got Nichijou. Nichijou takes everyday events and cranks up the craziness of these events ten fold! From falling octodogs to a trolling loli professor, it’s hard not to find a character to like in Nichijou. Nichijou is one of the top slice of life comedies, but is it truly a slice of life?! You know how Lucky Star is so ordinary it’s extraordinary? Well, Nichijou is so crazy it’s insane! Insanely good, though. And don’t you forget it!

Ah, one of the top anime from Winter 2016 has made it on our list! One Punch Man is a superhero anime that completely and utterly makes fun of superheroes. First off, Saitama’s sidekick is more likable among civilians, and you can’t forget his model-like good looks. Saitama is utterly plain and dull looking, but when he wants to be, he can actually look like a superhero---until he goes back to being dull looking. And we can’t ignore the fact that Saitama wears that ridiculous yellow jumpsuit that actually make other shounen jumpsuits better looking.

Funny Anime Wallpaper

There are a lot of anime series out there that have tons of comedy in them, a lot of times, they're embarrassing moments or interesting and awkward situations involving the characters. There are no limitations to what can happen in anime that may have you bursting out in laughter, making you spit your milk out through your nose or peeing in your pants. Hopefully none of those events took place for you (at least not in front of others), and you were able to enjoy the anime. I know there have been some times that had me almost dieing of laughter. Seriously, I'm talking about not being to catch my breath which almost made me pass out. Funny, but scary. So without further ado, here are the Top 10 Comedy Anime every can enjoy, or relate to.

10. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? (Is This a Zombie?)

kore wa zonbie desuka dvd
[Information episodes=" 12 " aired=" Jan 11, 2011 - Mar 30, 2011 "]

This anime is full of ... unimaginable situations and outrageous/exaggerated scenes of awkwardness and ....yeah. But, it's pretty damn funny and made me laugh a bunch. Aside from the situations brought to the viewers attention, nothing really made complete sense, and the events taking place did a very good job distracting me from what was really happening to how it happened. The series is about a high school boy named Aikawa Ayuma who one day is killed by a serial killer and then suddenly revived as a zombie. A necromancer named Eucliwood Hellscythe is the one who brings him back and has Ayuma serving as a personal guard for her. At the same time, he prevents Eu from her masou-shoujo magic power, which leaves her with no choice but to have Ayuma fighting against the anti-masou-shoujo system in her stay.

9. Beelzebub

Beelzebub (1)
[Information episodes=" 60 " aired=" Jan 9, 2011 - Mar 25, 2012 "]

Beelzebub is a unique comedy anime that will either have you wondering what the heck is going on or make you laugh until it hurts and it's not funny anymore. The main focus about the comedy in this anime revolves around the demon baby and how a teenager must raise it. Because of the demon baby, a lot of the characters in the series go through interesting situations that will make you cry while laughing. The series is about a juvenile delinquent, Tatsumi Oga, who is a first year high school student at a school for delinquents. He falls asleep by a river one day and notices a man floating downstream. Tatsumi rescues the man who suddenly splits in half and reveals a baby boy. The baby turns out to be the child of the demon king and Tatsumi has been chosen to raise the baby along with the babies demon maid, Hilda. This begins lifes challenges for Tatsumi while raising the demon baby.

8. Azumanga Daioh

azumanga daioh dvd
[Information episodes=" 26 " aired=" Apr 9, 2002 - Oct 1, 2002 "]

Azumanga Daioh is a classic comedy series that is filled with everyday life experiences and challenges in some of the funniest ways possible. The series is about the lives of a group of girls who become friends from the beginning of high school. All of the girls have unique and unusual personalities that defines them and separates them from the rest. You have a 10 year old prodigy, the resident airhead, the shy cat lover who is great at sports, a loose canon, a short tempered one, and a jock. The situations in school life happen to bring these crazy characters together in the most comedic way. The series just so happens to depict what it really is like at high school in Japan.

7. School Rumble

school rumble DVD
[Information episodes=" 26 " aired=" Oct 5, 2004 - Mar 29, 2005 "]

School Rumble is a show that doesn't really follow a plot because its too busy throwing random situations of guys chasing girls, while providing some hilarious jokes and some that are just down right silly. The series follows Tsukamoto Tenma who is a second year high school student and falls in love with a classmate. Shy to confess her feelings for him, Tsukamoto finds out he's transferring to another school at the end of the year. At the same time, another classmate of Tenma's, Harima Kenji, is in love with her and he's too shy to confess his feelings. This begins the comedic love triangle in a high school full of kids.

6. Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)

gto dvd
[Information episodes=" 43 " aired=" Jun 30, 1999 - Sep 24, 2000 "]

Contrary to the beliefs of what it's really like at high schools in Japan, you have some areas that are like Azumanga Diaho, and others that are like Great Teacher Onizuka. GTO is a great anime that is complimented very well with the standards of the board of educations in Japan, while presenting a wonderful comedic essence to the viewer. The series is about a former biker gang leader, Onizuka, beginning his new ambition of becoming the world’s greatest teacher. This was thought out at first by means of meeting young high school girls, but instead assertive administrators and trouble-making students come between him and his mission of meeting girls. As the students attempt to drive Onizuka away, he uses his own methods of discipline to bring order amongst his students, and that's when it gets interesting and funny.

5. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (Daily Lives of High School Boys)

danshi koukousei no nichijo dvd
[Information episodes=" 12 " aired=" Jan 10, 2012 - Mar 27, 2012 "]

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou is another great anime filled with tons of hilarious jokes and funny situations with wonderful common anime tropes. Tadakuni, Hidenori, and Yoshitake are all male students attending the same school at Sanada North High School. They're all laid-back and unobtrusive, but that doesn't stop the series from finding a way to turn it around into a fantastic comedy. The boys are all friends and go through their lives like any teenager should, with each other. Sometime in life, we’ve all experienced the same situations and experiences these boys make. The show presents what life is like being a teenaged boy in high school. The jokes and the persona each of these boys have bringing something more to the table with each episode.

4. Baka no Test to Shoukarijuu (Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts)

Baka no Test to Shoukarijuu DVD
[Information episodes=" 13 " aired=" Jan 7, 2010 - Apr 1, 2010 "]

Baka no Test to Shoukarijuu is one of the funniest series I've seen, and it's filled with a lot of cliche characters in a stereotypical setting, who express their idiotic romances in the most hilarious way. The series centers around the “baka” character of the title, Akihisa Yoshii. At Akihisa's academy, they divide the students into classes based on their test scores. You have the prodigies in A class, who have reclining seats with air conditioning?! Akihisa is in F class, the lowest class in the school with the lowest quality of supplies and equipment. Not only that, the school has conducted experiments to summon weird creatures, with Akihisa rallying F class to take over the perks of the higher classes by using the summoned creatures in an all out battle.

3. Ouran High School Host Club

Ouran High School-DVD
[Information episodes=" 26 " aired=" Apr 5, 2006 - Sep 27, 2006 "]

Ouran High School Host Club is a very loveable series and has that comedic romantic essence to it, which personally, has me laughing so much about the situations and character traits in the anime. The series follows Fujioka Haruhi, who wins a scholarship to attend Ouran Academy, one of the most prestigious and most expensive academies ever. All Fujioka has to do is keep her grades up in order to stay, but that all changes when she accidentally breaks a vase worth 8 million yen (about $66,000 US). Fujioka is forced to work it off in a host club for girls by becoming a male host.

2. Hataraka Maou-sama! (The Devil is a Part-Timer!)

Hataraka Maou-sama! DVD
[Information episodes=" 13 " aired=" Apr 4, 2013 - Jun 27, 2013 "]

Hataraka Maou-sama! is definitely a treat to watch and will surprise anyone who hasn't seen it before. Packed with outstanding comedy and a little action, Hataraka Maou-sama! was probably one of the funniest series I've seen in a while, except for Gintama which is #1! The series is about the Devil King Sadao who is just one step away from conquering the world. Until he was beaten by the hero Emilia and forced to move to another world that is modern day Tokyo. The only skills the Devil King possesses is to conquer the world, which is now a problem for him as he lives his life like a regular person in Tokyo. Working to survive by paying for his living expenses, conquering the world now seems harder than ever, which comedy ensues.

1. Gintama

Gintama
[Information episodes=" 201 " aired=" Apr 4, 2006 - Mar 25, 2010 "]

Now, Gintama has to be one of the most hilarious and comedic series, with some great action scenes as well, that I have seen in a long time. The characters in Gintama are all unique in their own way, and the series is filled with unexpected situations that will surely make you laugh. The series is about life in feudal Japan taking a sudden turn in an unimaginable way, aliens have landed and taken over everything. Health care may be great, but there is a ban on swords due to a war with samurai, leaving them in defeat and difficult to survive with no future career path. Gintoki is a prime example of this outcome, as he looks for work doing anything in order to survive while living in a brave new world with monsters, Yakuza, and E.T. entrepreneurs. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a great comedy anime!
