Kronofaviwun UPSF Ensign Registered: 05/04/08 Posts: 6	Hello all I’m looking for any good comedy animes, something along the lines of Full Metal Panic!? FUMOFFU. Any suggestions and input will be much obliged. Thank you Kron

FUMOFFU's unique blend of qualities but I can say that you're question is perfectly timed. I just finished watching Ramen Fighter Miki the other night and I specifically recall thinking to myself: "I haven't laughed this hard since FUMOFFU!" It is a near perfect blend of physical humor, sight-gags and wordplay that is all executed with spot-on timing. Technically it's a 12-episode OAV but each episode is split into two stand-alone storylines. The 3-disk OAV is relatively affordable with the tradeoff being that it's dub only.

But if you're looking for good comedy, I'd recommend Ninja Nonsense, Azumanga Daioh, or the first three Tenchi series (they go downhill after Tokyo, and even that one displeases a lot of folks, though I enjoyed it). I'd also recommend Excel Saga, but only if you can read fast.

JHawkNH UPSF Ensign Registered: 04/28/08 Posts: 9	I would also suggest "Those who hunt elves" seasons 1 & 2. It is old animation, but the comedy is pure gold.
