My FAVOURITE Top 5 Funniest Animes > Story and Review:
Top 1: Ouran High School Host Club (Melancholy of Haruhi):
This anime consists of 26 episodes. This is a very funny anime, recommended by all anime lovers. This falls under the category of Romantic comedy. Every single episode is so funny that you can not stop laughing. It is not only the comedy but also the story content that makes the anime fulfilling to watch and make a memory out of it. It is about a group of SIX handsome young men who come from very rich and famous families. They have a history of popularity. Money is what rules their world. Ouran High School is after all an Elite high school for those rich students, so no commoner has ever entered the school premises. It is Haruhi who is the first Commoner ever to be invited to Ouran on Scholarship basis. The student is a female but unlike other ladies she has a unique characteristic with tom boy looks and no interest in romance and other genuine qualities, so obviously thought to be a boy when seen for the first time. As expected of a scholarship student, her main goal has been to become a lawyer like her mother. One day when she tries to find a quiet room for her studies, she notices an old music room and accidentally discovers the Host club formed by the above six men. In all this confusion, Haruhi accidentally breaks an expensive vase and she is dragged into the Host club as compensation. It is later, that one by one notices that Haruhi is a female and starts to fall for her. It is the story of the melancholy faced by Haruhi amongst these annoying weird Host club members. Just like most romantic comedies, the female or the male does not realize the Love present till the last episode. The funny thing about this anime is both the couple are so dense that they do not understand their own feelings. This show has been licensed so can not download them, but definitely should be watched. This anime is decent enough without any adult content, hence recommended for all. My rating for this is 4.5 / 5.
Top 2: Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (Perfect Girl Evolution)
This is also a scary funny anime and contains funny scary scenes. This series consists of 25 episodes. This anime is again about 4 handsome dazzling young men and a girl named Sunako. All the four men come from different family backgrounds. They live together in an expensive mansion belonging to a wealthy lady. The lady offers them FREE rent as long as they convert their niece to a perfect lady like in a wealthy family with all ladylike manners. They gladly accept the challenge as they are all popular with females. It is to their surprise the niece turns out to be someone who is not ladylike at all with bad skin and manners and loves horror stuff and sticks to scary models and lives in a dark room. The scary comedy is very funny and some scenes may be disturbing to audience. It contains little adult content but not very seriously expressed so can be watched by everyone. This anime shows the efforts made by the men to convert her into a lady but not the success progress. Its like it is pointless to change her. This show has also been licensed, but must watch them. Very funny and my rating is 4 / 5.
Top 3: Full metal Panic Fumoffu
This anime contains total of 24 episodes but only Fumoffu episodes that is the first 12 episodes are funny. You need not watch the rest. This falls under action based romantic comedy.This is about a soldier who comes to a school and joins as a student to protect a girl. This piont is understood only when you watch episodes after 12. Till then you will not understand why he has come to the school, but episodes 13-24 are not funny. As expected of a soldier, he doubts every single thing and is very cautious and that makes the series very funny. Fumoffu is a stuffed animal costume which he uses to hide is disguise and adds more comedy to it. Must watch the Fumoffu series. This contains adult references but not too much. My rating is 3.5 / 5.
Top 4: Lovely Complex
This anime also falls under the romantic comedy category and contains 24 episodes. This story is about a short boy and a tall girl which is not a normal couple to fall in love. A short boy is not considered very manly type and a tall girl is not considered very ladylike when it comes to being a couple. This fact makes the series very funny. There are various other aspects also that contribute to the comedy. The middle few episodes of the story might be a little drag as the girl who falls for the boy first always sobs that he does not understand her feelings, this makes it a little boring but overall it is very funny. My rating for this is 3.5 / 5.
Top 5: Special A
This anime consists of 24 episodes. This falls under action based romantic comedy. The action content is not heavy action with metals and stuff like in Full metal panic but little action in some scenes. This is about a girl who joins the Special A section of the school only to challenge a boy to whom she has been loosing from childhood in sports, studies etc. She always comes second in every thing. The Special A section consists a group of Seven people who are very talented. This group has separate classes located at separate areas and they consider it as a family. The boy who has been challenged actually falls in love with the girl and that feeling is seen from the second episode itself but in this series the female character is very dense and looks at him only as a rival and does not understand his feelings. The series of romance between other couples in the anime is also very funny. It has no adult content and comfortable to watch. My rating for this is 3.3 / 5.
