| Anyone have any recommendations? There's a lot of anime I've seen that aren't on my list, and which I didn't think were particularly humorous, like One Piece and Gintama. Examples of series that I did think were both action-packed and funny are Grappler Baki and Samurai Champloo. Any other action series that don't take themselves too seriously? |
| Well I second Baccano and maybe Furi Kuri? |
 |
For sure. You have yet to watch Hunter X Hunter, I'd check it out if I were you. Hajime No Ippo is also good, all the more reason since you liked Grappler Baki. Also Scryed is really good as well imo. Try D.Gray man and Rurouni Kenshin too. And since you havent watch Busou Renkin, I say go for it, I mean if your into shounen. |
| I found History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi to be very funny. Good mix of martial arts and comedy. mvpmerome said: I'll second both of those.You have yet to watch Hunter X Hunter, I'd check it out if I were you. Hajime No Ippo is also good Edit: How did I almost forget to suggest Hitman Reborn. One of my favorite shows, it's a bit long but I like it. The first 24 or so episodes are just random with no real plot, but after then it starts to get more serious while maintaining its comedy. |

Strangely enough, and maybe it's because I'm a former amateur boxer, and thus found a lot of it absurd, but I didn't really get into Hajime No Ippo after watching a few episodes. Might have to give it another go. mvpmerome said: Also Scryed is really good as well imo. Try D.Gray man and Rurouni Kenshin too. And since you havent watch Busou Renkin, I say go for it, I mean if your into shounen. I've watched some Scryed (decent) and Kenshin (hated it), but not the other ones in your post, and not Baccano. Thanks for all the recommendations in this topic thus far, I appreciate it. |
| You'll like Baccano. And regardless of how ridiculous Hajime no Ippo is, some of the fights are fucking sick. |

| I think the Full Metal Panic! seasons would fit that description well. |

| I normally hate resurrecting the dead, but I want to thank everyone who recommended Baccano in this topic. There are a lot of popular anime which I consider horribly overrated drivel, but Baccano is a truly excellent series which met all my expectations, and then some. |
| Dunno if you're still looking for suggestions...but I think Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the perfect example of an action anime that doesn't take itself all that seriously. |

| Black Lagoon. |

Yeah, I'll probably have to watch that in the very near future, seeing how it's number 1 on this site and all, heh. |
| Devil May Cry Elfen Lied (if you want to go hardcore) Night Walker (old school but awesome) |
 |
| Well don't know if you're still looking for rec's, but here's one: Zone of the Enders: Dolores, i. I'm currently watching it and it has quite a bit of comedy, it's essential to watch the movie/OVA first since it's a direct sequel, but yeah for the most part the series is pretty comical. Seems pretty unheard of too. |

| Gintama |
   |
| did you watch ttgl yet. the awesomeness |
 |
| gintama! =D |
| Off hand, the best suggestion I can make is Desert Punk. That show is freakin hilarious. I've watched that show about 7 or 8 times now and have no intention on easing up. |
