by August 8 is Laughter Day.
It is an anniversary that originates from the laughter “hahaha (88)”.
In anime, many works make you laugh so much that you can’t help but hold your stomach. Various genres include romantic comedy that weaves a unique hero and heroine, slapstick in which eccentric characters rampage, and black humor with a solid satirical effect.
Anime there! Animation! We conducted a reader survey, asking, “Who is the funniest anime?” We received responses from 2,606 people during the survey period from July 25 to August 1.
The gender ratio is about 45% male and about 55% female, which is slightly more female. The age group was mainly young, with about 65% under the age of 19 and about 15% in their 20s.
Titles that bring out the appeal of the original work are ranked high!
“Gintama.” With an approval rating of about 33%, he remained at the top for the second consecutive year.
This work is based on the SF period drama “Weekly Shonen Jump.” It was made into an anime in 2006, and several TV and movie series was produced until “Gintama THE FINAL” was released in 2021.
‘Gin-san’s blur and Shinpachi’s rushing are interesting, and even in serious developments, it seems that ‘Gintama’ is full of jokes.’ Even if the content is quite dangerous, it’s as expected that you can say, ‘Well, it’s Gintama…’!” They become invisible people, and they make meta-remarks aimed at the viewers, and there are exciting things that other anime don’t have.”
“I was surprised that the entrance bonus for ‘Gintama THE FINAL’ was an illustration card with characters from ‘Kimetsu no Yaiba,'” supporting the attitude of entertaining fans outside of the main story.
“Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Disastrous.” The approval rating was about 7%, the same as last year.
Based on the psychic manga of “Weekly Shonen Jump,” the TV animation broadcast started in 2016.
Readers commented, “The main character is an omnipotent psychic with an extraordinary worldview. Many characters with strong habits exceed Kusuo Saiki’s imagination, and the surreal and messy dialogue is interesting. Kusuo’s casual remarks are also attractive. “The tempo of the gag is good, and before you know it, you’ll get caught up in the sense of speed. Originally, the ‘Oha Suta’ corner was broadcast every day, probably due to the unique tempo.” Your comment has been received.
“Grand Blue.” The approval rating is about 4%, from last year’s 6th place.
This work is based on a manga serialized in “good! Afternoon”—a TV anime broadcast in 2018, set in a university diving circle.
“The opening animation is full of beautiful images of the sea, but when I opened the lid, I was surprised to see that I was drinking alcohol and neglecting diving” and “I laughed out loud at the messy glue that only shows alcohol and naked men. Such a college life. I want to send it to you!”, “Maybe because there are a lot of banquet scenes, I laughed when the top of the age of ‘Iori Kitahara (20 years old)’ appeared when the new students appeared.” popular.
“Of course, the gags are funny, but the way the club members work hard without giving up is also clearly portrayed, and it looks like they’re shining.” I’m here.
We are introducing other comments!!
“A blessing to this wonderful world! “The dialogue between unfortunate characters, including the useless goddess Aqua, is interesting. The fact that the voice actors are full of improvisations is also a unique charm of anime.”
In “Kaguya-sama wants to tell you ~ Genius’ love brain battle ~,” “The balance between gag and romantic comedy is good, and I laugh at the battle between Shirogane and Kaguya, who try to make the other person confess their feelings, even though they are actually both in love. Wrap. Unexpected developments such as ramen episodes and moderately low story are also GOOD!”.
“Fullmetal panic? Fumoffu” said, “Even though the original story is serious, if you turn it into a gag anime with the same characters and settings, there will be such a chemical reaction… The over-the-top feeling of Sousuke, a mercenary at heart, is the best.”
In “Uncle Isekai,” “The situation where an uncle who has returned from another world talks to his nephew about how he spent his days is interesting. I laughed.” There was also a vote for the title currently being broadcast.
The result of this survey is that manga originals account for the majority. Many works have expanded the original’s charm, such as incorporating production that can only be done by anime and enthusiastic performances by voice actors.
