| Azumanga Daioh (TV) | Masterpiece | This series just has a knack for turning even the most redundant gags and turning around and making them look fresh and honestly humorous. And I also love that it could take the smallest thing and turn it into a funny spot, like I crack up each time I watch Osaka follow the spot in her eyes totally oblivious the the mayhem around her. |
| Cromartie High School (TV) | Very good | |
| Excel Saga (TV) | Very good | This series can take any given genre and not only puts it's own spin on it, it takes it through a spin cycle. But the parodies alone don't make the show, random humor, random humor, and random humor; almost anything can happen at any given moment, even when you come to expect something it finds a way of doing the exact same thing in a way you didn't even see coming. There wasn't an episode that didn't make me laugh rather loudly at least once. |
| FLCL (OAV) | Masterpiece | Random? I think the word is a bit light for this series. Insane characters, however, also add their mark in this baby. I still laugh everytime I hear Haruko yell "itadakimasu!" right before she whacks Naota with her guitar. But it is not just Haruko, among the entire cast there aren't more than a couple who don't have at aleast a few screws loose. Heck even the ones that seem normal will eventually do at least one thing that makes you give a double take. |
| Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (TV) | Masterpiece | 'Madcaps' is the word here, which would describe almost anyone in this series. Also, when an average line consists of things like, "no exploding, please," you know something isn't quite right. Whether it's the great shoe box terrorist mystery, setting traps to avoid being "captured" while modeling for a portrait, or seeing someone use the latest in defense gear to "fumoffu" someone's ass, almost every episode offers more than just chuckles. |
| GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka (TV) | Masterpiece | |
| Honey and Clover (TV) | Masterpiece | |
| Kodocha (TV) | Excellent | |
| Kyōran Kazoku Nikki (TV) | Excellent | |
| Pani Poni Dash! (TV) | Very good | Yeah, I know it is a bit silly, but I think that for this show 'silly' works really well. Rebecca is insane, but she fits right in with all the escapees from the assylum in this class. The weird characters, random humor and parodies along with some really zany pop culture references all make this show interesting as well as funny. However the silliness rules over all and, as I said, really works for this show and makes it even more fun to watch. |
| Ramen Fighter Miki (TV) | Very good | Some may not like this show but I think it is brilliant in its comedy. Outstanding timing, use of secondary characters to avoid overplayed storylines, not only making fun of other shows but making fun of itself, random fun, slapstick; this small show really knows its comedy and best of all, the creators know how to use it and time it beautifully. Usually when I watch shows they tend to be funnier at the beginning but this is one of the few that made me laugh more as it went along. I don't know if the creators planned it this way or if they just let it develop as it went, but regardless it made for a hell of a funny series. |
| Ranma ½ (TV) | Masterpiece | This is my favorite show, it's not my favorite comedy-wise, but I still have to say that I love a lot of the humor. Whether it is some outlandish and often outrageous martial art, another crazy girl(or guy) either trying to kill or marry Ranma or both, or just some random joke that comes out of nowhere, there aren't many episodes that don't offer at least a few laughs. And the cast of what seems like hundreds is full of wacky oddballs, madcaps, and certifiable characters who can come out of anywhere with any number of random possibilities |
| Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei (TV) | Excellent | |
| Yakitate!! Japan (TV) | Very good | |
| Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei (TV) | Excellent |
