| For some reason hitting/smacking people is some sort of gag in anime and it's honestly starting to bother me a bit. People don't actually act like that irl, do they? It's a bit odd lol |

| Dunno, but I agree with you that it is bothering. Only sometimes I find it funny. And yeah, people don't actually act like that in Japan lol. |
| As mentioned its slapstick and it's pretty much been a gag everywhere since like the 16th century. For a comparable reference many early anime were inspired by Disney or other western cartoons and if you were to watch some of those you'd also see a lot of slapstick. |
| Occasionally they are pretty funny so in a sense it works so I guess that's why they use it |

| It kinda works as comedic effect but some series take it too far, to the point where a character is just strangely violent and abusive for no reason and nobody seems to mind it. Toradora threads a real fine line, for example, domestic abuse and violent partners are not funny experiences. |
| cuz they are not creative to make something new or different. |

| Because everything that has a shape has a comedic side to it? You should first understand what comedy and laughing are before you ask this question. You seem to have a trauma regarding violence. |
| Closer. |
| slapstick humor is considered a form of comedy in many mediums |
 |
| I find it funny because its exaggerating an emotion to an unrealistic lvl |
| Violence is fun for the kid and the ignorant. |
| The suffering of others causes humor. It's natural. |
 |
| Hitting people for fun is a thing since humanity. |
 |
| It's slapstick, the very basics of comedy. |
 |
| It always existed in small doses, but it got really bad once Rumiko Takahashi came on to the scene. I'm not a fan of her works for many reasons. |
 |
| For some reason teenage sexuality/fucking is some kind of comedy in american movies and it's starting to bother me a bit. People don't act like that in the US, do they? It's odd lol. |

| i think it's some kind of japanese traditional comedy, such as manzai, they do that in variety shows or gag shows not just in anime, it's just for show & entertainment anyway. i think it's more horrible people that do pranks and upload it on youtube |
| Tom and Jerry? Looney Toons? The 3 stooges? It's everywhere since always, it's not a japanesse stuff. I do find odd that they use it considering how their culture is. |
