Comedy anime is a genre popular globally, and it is gaining popularity in India as well. The Indian audience has grown up on anime series that were more about action and fantasy. Now, they have had their taste of anime comedy with series like Shinchan. Since the nineties, anime makers also have started making more conventional content like comedy series. Today, there are so many comedy series that one can list the top 10 comedy anime series.
The Anime series are popular for their whacky hum our and a crisp screenplay. It keeps everyone engaged until the very end of the series.
Here’s a list of the top 10 Comedy Anime series
Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro
Lupin the 3rd is one of the oldest Anime series and is the favourite of several foreign filmmakers. The series is about Lupin, the boss of a criminal gang that finds out that the money they sold at a casino is fake. In the series, Lupin is the grandson of a thief grandmaster, and is one of the few anime that brings a novel to life.
Cells at Work
Cells at Work has a unique concept and is quite different from the other anime that we watch. The series is about characters that are part of the body – they are the ones that work within the body. The series has characters that play a red blood cell and a white blood cell – and their adventures while combating the various natural disasters that they face – their host body’s natural ailments.
Maid-Sama
Maid-Sama will be interesting for those who like romantic drama. The series is in a school that has recently turned co-ed. The two characters, Misaki and Takumi, fall in love with each other. They are both students in the school, and Takumi also works after school to take care of her mother. The two get married, and we find out that Takumi has a royal heritage. Maid-Sama has all the moments one would want, the quirky ones, the romantic ones and the comedy ones that are the soul of this series.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is the best of both worlds – it’s a superhero series with comedy elements. Saiki K has superhero powers and yet has to live the average life of a college student – yes, the series is very similar to the Spider-Man, it has a charm of its own that makes it stand out among the comedy series and become part of this elite list.
The Devil is a Part-timer
The Devil Is a Part-timer is a unique series – because it breathes new life in two of the most common entertainment tropes we see – that of angels coming down to earth and the monotonous life of someone who works in a fast-food company. In TDIAPT, that’s what happens – the angel who comes down is a fallen one, Satan himself. TDIAPT is a fresh respite from the heavy ones that we watch, like Lucifer.
Arakawa Under the Bridge
Arakawa Under the Bridge is another example of how the Anime makers mix whacky with comedy and add some fantasy aspects to it. In Arakawa Under the Bridge, the heir to a big company meets a faery who has saves him from an apparent suicide.
I am Sakamoto
We have all heard and read about perfectionists, but how would the experience of living with them be? Well, if you have ever pondered this question, take some time out and watch I am Sakamoto, about a young man who does everything perfectly and is, therefore, a bane of existence to his friends and family.
Level – E
We have had our share of invasion storylines, and Level E is a perfect addition to the list. It’s about a troll from an outer world, who invades the home of a young woman who has nothing else in life other than her one-room house. The comic aspect is on the way the troll interacts with the world and everyone in it.
Space Dandy
Do you have some space in your life for a space-comedy? Of course, you do. Who doesn’t? Space Dandy is about a young alien bounty hunter who whizzes about space in one of the most uniquely designed space-crafts. The series is popular among fans of space concepts.
Hetalia
Hetalia is one of the more popular comedy anime out there. The concept is simple, the series enacts some of the most important incidents from world history – the only thing, anime boys are the actors of these scenes, making it all the more hilarious and entertaining. It’s an entertaining history session on a lighter note compared to the others that we see.
Honorable Mention:
Lucky Girl
Lucky Girl is hilarious – and should have been at the top of list, but unfortunately, it’s concept is a bit on the cliche side. The series is about the protagonist, who’s beautiful and successful and everyone would like to be around her. Her only issue is that everyone around her loses their luck.
