How Well Do You Know Comedy Anime?
Comedy anime has a wide variety of subgenres and tactics to make the viewers laugh. Unlike western comedy, anime series have a wider range of what they can and can’t joke about, including fan service, which is not only common in comedy anime, but in other genres as well. There are several notable comedy anime series in the industry, some that have aged well and some that haven’t. Other genres that comedy anime may fall under include action comedy, romance, thriller, ecchi, and slice of life.
One of the more well-known, early comedy anime series in the industry is GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka, but more of the well-known comedy series aired in the early 2000s. Some of the most well-known comedy series today include Lucky Star, Nichijou, Ouran High School Host Club, and Konosuba. This is but a shortlist of titles, as there are many more that deserve to be discovered and enjoyed. But not every great comedy is labeled primarily as comedy. One Punch Man is an example of an action-packed anime that doubles as a comedy series.
