Which are your favorites? What makes them so funny? Also, are you looking forward to any comedy anime this year?

I don't think I have a single one on my plan to watch list at the moment, but these 4 are my favorites so far:

Edomae_Elf
Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai!
RPG Fudousan
Shachiku-san wa Youjo Yuurei ni Iyasaretai.

Last comedy anime that made me laugh out loud is from 2012: Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou.
Last comedy anime that made me laugh out loud nearly without pause is from 2004: School Rumble.

I don't get why, but most comedy anime aren't very funny. I don't even have to pause to not miss anything while I try to stop laughing.

There are many anime tagged as comedy among my highest rated of the current decade, but not because they made me laugh. I don't expect to laugh when I watch comedy anime, for me they're like slice of life (unless the comedy is straight up annoying like toilet humor or excessive screaming).

The only anime from the 2020s I can praise for actually making me laugh:
1. Kanojo mo Kanojo
2. Maoujou de Oyasumi

Wave, Listen to Me! refreshing adult cast and slightly outta pocket.

Akiba Maid and Human Bug Daigaku were insane rides

Nagatoro-san, Aharen-san Uzaki-chan, Tomo-chan, My Senpai is annoying. I love the quirky couple dynamics.

Uramichi Oniisan. Dark workplace comedy

Muranase! Seton Gakuen. Antropomorphic school comedy.

100 Girlfriends. Huge harem, references and unhinged

Migi to Dali. Bizarre comedy, balances creepiness and mystery as part of it.

My New Boss Is Goofy. Cute bromance. Who am I kidding? It was gayy, lol.

Bocchi the Rock is probably my favorite comedy from the last few years. There is so much about the show that makes me laugh, but one of the best things about it are all those chaotic animation style changes the anime uses to illustrate Bocchi's internal stuggles.

Also BOFURI. Just cute, overpowered, relatable fun.

 

For upcoming comedy, I'm mostly waiting for the second season of 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess (Himesama "Goumon" no Jikan desu). I loved the subversive comedy in the first season, but it always felt a bit off to me that I hope season 2 might fix some of the flaws with a slightly different approach.

(( I also noticed that I might have a soft spot for Chinese comedy. Let Me Check the Walkthrough First had me rolling on the floor more than any anime thanks to all the banter between Yinou and Enya + the silly gaming references ))

Maybe I don't really like comedy anime... None of the examples mentioned so far sound very appealing, either.

The best I could find in my list were:

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!: Bakarina is just really dumb in a really charming way
Train to the End of the World: chaotic weirdness on a post-apocalyptic road-trip
Bocchi the Rock!: great animation gags and character interactions; social anxiety gags are also good but a bit too much sometimes

I really enjoyed Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 3, but this one had a lot of momentum from the previous 2 seasons, so I don't think it's really fair to call it "2020's comedy."

Of the comedy tagged shows I've seen so far this season only:

https://myanimelist.net/anime/57719/Akuyaku_Reijou_Tensei_Ojisan

Has made me smile... the comedy is weak this season.


Last season:

https://myanimelist.net/anime/52367/Isekai_Shikkaku

Was great.


Going back further, shows tagged as comedy that I remember thinking had genuine moments of comedy instead of just comedy in a purely romantic comedy sense (more "ha" than "aw")...:

I'd say it's a dramedy. And the comedic tone was prevalent throughout the entire runtime xD

Isekai de Cheat Skill wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Genjitsu Sekai wo mo Musou Suru: Level Up wa Jinsei wo Kaeta and Isekai Ojisan.
Would be my favorite time Comedy shows the last five years.

What makes them funny, is how the main character interacts with his power and how he uses it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhdzrGycBE0 Had a really fun time watching this.

Both shows have so many fun interaction with other characters or how they use their new power.
Yeah, this was great. I had so much fun.

Bocchi the Rock was probably my favorite comedy from 2020's so far. The new season of 100 Kanojos started off pretty strong last week.

The second season of Machikado Mazoku was good too, I really enjoyed this series.

I still have to watch the new Yuru Yuri spinoff movie that came out last year, but I'm guessing that will be good too. The first one was really fun.

@Serafos Yeah there was a 2nd season as well, but I don't think it ever got dubbed and was kind of disappointing. Comedy is so subjective and influenced by culture. It's very, very hard to get it to work across the board. Sometimes even within the same language. Something like Monty Python is mythical, but it never caught on as anything but niche here in the US, because so many people missed the UK cultural references.
