Not very often, actually. I laugh more when I'm watching it with someone else though. :)

Very often indeed, and my laugh is loud. Makes it difficult to watch dubs, at times. My dad hates it, and I was occasionally bullied in high school for it, but that doesn't stop me.

Yes, absolutely. Any anime that raises any emotion from me usually ends up getting a good score, too.

If you know/remember Ouran's "EEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!" moment, I remember actually pausing the anime right there and laughing for a full five minutes.

Sometimes I think, "LOL" to myself, or I sometimes will smile, or I will chuckle a bit, but I have laughed out loud at some anime before. It really depends on the situation/joke/if I actually found it funny enough to express a laugh. I usually don't think about it much, but yes, it has certainly happened and I imagine it will happen countless times in the future as well.

I can't think of anything in particular that I've watched really recently that's made me LOL. I guess that's because I've been watching a lot of drama and horror stuff.

Sometimes yes. It's not like a make an effort not to laugh.
I have rebooted this account, which has been abandoned for quite some time, on January 14 2012. Please note that my opinions may differ from what my scores or previous forum posts may imply.

Depends on the series, but if it's a well executed comedy then generally yes. I once spat out my drink all over the place watching Gintama. That show has me in stitches.

It doesn't happen often that I literally laugh outloud, even when I find something really funny. Occasionally I will let out a small, quiet chuckle here and there. I can count on my fingers how many times I've actually let out a laugh and only two or three times, I had to pause because I was laughing so hard I couldn't read the subtitles.


EDIT: The animes that I can think of that made me laugh the hardest are Fruits Basket, MM!, One Piece, and (surprisingly) Code Geass.

Some anime you have to laugh. Especially Ginatama, school rumble and Tomoya Okazaki's tricks lol.


Conquering others is strength. Conquering yourself is true power.

Yeah, I laugh loud sometimes and I'm all 'this is odd'. I think I'm too used to seeing comedy with people. I also tend to laugh louder the more unexpected something is I think the thing I laughed most at recently was the parody of Initial D in Lucky Star.

Yea I laugh when something funny happens. My parents wonder why I'm laughing at something I'm watching In Japanese, they don't understand what the characters are saying. So they think I understand it hahaha and don't realize it has English sub.

Why not? It's like watching any other things you find something funny go ahead and laugh. I usually find things in anime that wasn't meant to be funny funny.

I do, and my parents just look at me weird. Let's just say that they don't understand the whole anime thing.. I find myself laughing out loud while watching FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood a lot, as well as Kimi Ni Todoke(Which is one of the cutest series ever!)

I will laugh out loud only if I find the show really funny or random. But I don't really want to bother anyone, so I hold my nose so that no laughing noises come out. I'm a strange one, yupp...
Usually I'll just laugh without using any voice though.

I often find myself laughing at some anime's. I recently watched My Bride is a Mermaid and Girls Bravo. Not all of it is really funny, but they do have their moments. They catch you off guard and you can't help but laugh.

I do, but mostly when it's actually funny and not just a stupid scene. Example;

Went to AX last summer and went to a screening of some anime, can't remember what. Anyway first episode about 10 minutes in there's a cat sitting on the table. Everyone gets up and leaves, and then the cat meows. I kid you not, the entire room was laughing their asses off. I'm sorry, but I fail to see what was so funny.

When it's moments like that, or someone getting hit by a bat, getting called a stupid dog, or the like no I don't laugh. I laugh when it's actually something funny or clever.

Well I watch all of my anime by myself so usually I won't laugh out loud. Which doesn't mean I don't enjoy jokes of course. However, if there is a really funny moment I can't help but to.

I do laugh out when something really funny happens. Most of the I just smile. Its not like I have a separate behavior between watching anime and normal movies. Sometimes I do laugh out really loud (thats just the loudness of my normal laugh).

I do, on occasion. Admittedly, Japanese humour isn't normally that great, particularly as it appears in anime. However, some high quality, pure comedy should still amuse people, regardless of their culture.

Of course, really bad, unintentionally funny shows exist. These are probably the funniest kind of anime!

most of the humor in anime is: "oooohhhh noooo i fell and my hand landed on some hot girl's boobs, and now i need 3-4 seconds of squizeing it before i can remove my hand and tell her it was an accident." so nomaly i dont laught, but i am atm watching gintama, 200+ eps of real humor, so far allmost every ep (24 so far) has made me laugh outloud.
oh also GTO uses great humor.

now i think about it, i laugh at most jokes which is now "ohh boobie touch" jokes, make it hard for me to watch anime doing class, since i sometimes burst out laughing doing chemistry, im it prety obvious that its not a chemical reaction im laughing about.

Very rarely. When I do it's usually because a character I like is being both cute and funny at the same time, e.g. Ibuki Fuko in Clannad, Hirasawa Yui/Kotobuki Tsumugi in K-ON! or Ika Musume in Squid Girl.

It depends what anime I'm watching and how tired I'm at the moment (coz if you are really tired you laugh at anything).xDIf the scene is little funny I smile. If the scene is really funny I laugh. I'm not trying to hide it or anything coz my family usually doesn't care why I'm laughing. But if I would watch anime in public then i would maybe a little bit try to hide it. Depending how much noise is around me.
