What's an anime that you couldn't take seriously to the point were it became an unintentional comedy?

The title says it all.

For me that anime is Kakegurui. That anime is so fucking stupid that I am convinced it is meant to be a comedy at heart. From the ridiculous facial expressions to the gamble situations that make no sense. I was laughing my ass off the entire time I was watching that show XD.

Boku no Hero Academia

The anime is so cliche that at some point I started thinking it is a "Shounen parody" and is showing how dumb the shounen tropes really are. I still find it absolutely hilarious, and I genuinely can't bring myself to take it seriously anymore.

JJBA, I saw so many plotholes in part 2 and 3 but shoved them off as 'bizzare'. I couldn't take it seriously at the end of pt2
JJBA is still very fun to watch tho.

I feel like cheating for saying Gibiate but seriously... I never laughed so much at an anime that wasn't meant to be a comedy. How it wanted us to care for its characters' deaths, the changes in the opening, the "plot twist" at the end... It really had me rolling, like when I watch The Room.

I couldn't take any episode of Japan Sinks 2020 seriously every 5 minutes something "serious" would happen that just made me laugh.

Every few minutes I asked myself question's like...

"Why would that happen?"
"Why is he doing that?"
"What?...What is happening?"
"Why? That makes no sense at all"

AoT, ch 139 was so bad it made last 50 chapters worthless and ruind everything that happened within them. I ended up wasting 3 years of my life for this shit manga/anime.

The final Chapter assassinated every fucking charecter (development wise and what they stood for). It really became a peak comedy.

Redo of Healer, simply because I'd laugh at the absurdity of the scenarios, laugh at the fact Im watching it, then laugh about the fact that somebody actually made such a thing and that it didnt get cancelled by Twitter.

Truly one of the greatest watched of my life.

People have already said BNHA and King's Game so I'm gonna bring some new stuff to the table.
Calamity of the Zombie Girl. It's honestly one of the strangest OVA's I've watched. I'm surprised it isn't labeled as comedy, some of the shit that goes on is ridiculous.

Hakubo. This short film is one of the worst I've seen. It's so bad that at one point I stopped taking it seriously and just laughed my way through to not get bored.

Ichi The Killer: Episode 0. This anime is so bad it's hilarious. It's absolutely freakin crazy.

Maid Meshimase. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this hentai is a fucking masterpiece. I feel like the people who animated this were high one day and one guy thought "Yo guys we should make a hentai" and everyone else just thought "fuck it why not lmao" and created this glorious animated work of art a day later.

So basicially campy anime that seemed to not be trying to be campy? Those are nice to stumble into. I've seen a few that did that sort of thing for me.
  • Aldnoah.Zero 2nd Season ~ Goes from being a mediocre mecha in season 1 to an absolute meme where inanimate objects develop better than actual characters and a random last-minute dude named Count Crouton or something like that becomes an 80's action hero as a C-plot while the rest of the story just collapses into a black hole.
  • Anohana ~ Maybe a hot take, but it's hilarious if you're paying attention to the plot instead of crying on-cue with Menma (who our cast of idiots struggle to accept the existence of for what, 7/11 of the anime?) I don't get how Yukiatsu's forest sprints didn't become a big meme.
  • Deen Stay/Night ~ Between the slapdash art quality and the "original" portions like the CGI dragon it was way easier to laugh at this than stay mad at it for being an awful adaptation.
  • Mirai Nikki ~ Strikes just the right balance between going too far over-the-top and attempting (and failing miserably) to be grounded and mature. Comedy gold smelted in a dumpster fire.

Thanks for reminding me about that, I remember hearing that it's some real F-grade trash. If I ever get around to bingeing trash for fun I'll have to consider it.

Attack on Titan. All those overly dramatic shots and shouting and screaming, like something out of a telenovela or Indian soap opera, killed any and all tension and made every serious and death scene an unintentional parody of itself.

This Korean bootleg, “Black Star & Golden Bat.”
https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=206220
“It only takes around six minutes before Golden Bat actually makes first his appearance in the film for some further nonsense. Aside from his ridiculous character design the members of the mafia show their fear by doing some sort of invisible orgy from what I could interpret from the animation. You got one mafioso thrusting the air, and another mafioso thrusting the floor repeatedly. This leads into a badly animated action scene where Golden Bat wins easily. After stripping the mafia down to their underwear, and leaving one of them a red Bat on their chest Golden Bat leaves the scene. So why did Golden Bat go to the hideout of the mafia if it wasn’t to retrieve the blueprints is never explained. Well, Golden Bat is did strip down several mafioso down to their underwear so he had a plan of some sort that wasn’t aimed at kids (the film intended demographic).”

sac 2045 - hilarious take on the famous franchise
allison to lillia - you can't even comprehend the weirdness, snow stops bullets
so ra no wo to - girl wants to pee but can't and we see her trial for 20 minutes
aldnoah zero - loli driving car but can't see in front
shoujo tachi wa kouya wo mezasu - glasses girl invents an AI for her boat but can't program an eroge
lu no uta - this is on another level of comedy
hisone to masotan - I have no words to describe it
revisions - no words
aru zombie shoujo - no words

The one part of JoJo I actually managed to sit through. I have no idea what the appeal of this series is to be honest; people say it's supposed to be campy, stupid, and badass, but the end of part 1 to me seemed like it was trying so desperately to be epic and serious, I was thinking if people actually found this funny, it was entirely unintentional.

The series is a joke in and of itself by how awful its writing generally is, but was this a retcon, ala Tommy Wiseau's The Room? Where he later came out and called it a comedy because his attempts at drama failed so hard?

Because I get a lot of retcon vibes regarding JoJo. It's such a terrible series, but I remember even making a friend watch an episode with me as I was progressing, solely because I had to make sure I wasn't going crazy and this was as laughably bad as I thought it was.
Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.
