OOOhhhhh mayyy Goddaarruuu, are dey having le SEXXOOO! Aren't ahh Boobs anda Sexo so a WEIRD and a funny!

Why is anime so painfully unfunny? Even the lowest tier of sex joke or vapid pop culture reference in the Big Bang Theory or Rick and Morty is funny than the lame sex comedy in anime. Do people seriously watch the dorky kid grab a girl chests in anime for the 400th time and laugh

Space Dandy is the only anime to make me laugh

redditme

You were supposed to start the thread with >Anime can't be kin-

Don't be a dead-eyed faggot and enjoy things for once in your life

I can't get into anime because they make those stupid grunts and gay poses. Then you have action that looks more like a fucking slideshow than it does an animation.

nerd is caught naked with 2 of the hottest girls in his class

this is somehow reason for him to be embarrassed

Japs are weird

is that your final dandy?

Soulless Americans will never understand

the credit music from this show is god tier

So is FLCL's

Space Dandy is better than Cowboy Bebop. In fact Cowboy bebop isn’t even that good and I’d wager people only like it because they feel like they’re “supposed to” or they were 10 years old and excited to stay up until midnight and watch a cartoon where they said “damn” or “hell”

zoom zoom OP obliterated

It’s been over 20 years and I simply cannot stop listening to the FLCL ost Its fucking amazing

Comedy is low hanging fruit regardless of origin.

Terrible opinion, both are good and Bebop is one of the greatest tv shows ever

Samurai Champloo is better than CB in my humble opinion

Cowboy Bebop is GOOD, but overrated by normies because it’s the “cool” guy anime, because there’s jazz music and shit in it. Similar to Samurai Champloo and its rap music and hip-hop influences.
Good animes, just seen as more because of the proliferation of niggerslop appreciation culture.

This show was unironically funny.

most of the good animes are movies

The only anime that have made me laugh were Tower of Drauga and Komi Can't Communicate

Joyless brainbroken schizoids can never understand the simple beauty of slice of life anime desu

filtered tranny

this was funny

Its simply not for everyone

For me its Cromartie Highschool, idk why but it was so fucking peak

based

I didn’t like this show as much as I hoped . I was pretty hyped when I saw the first commercial for it but I found it kind of bland

Cromartie*

Go back to Anon Babble

We're talking about tv shows

I thought Azumanga Daio was funny back in highschool but this was like 2005-2006 and I haven’t read it since. Who knows if it holds up

I will never forgive the japs for not giving Sleepy Princess another season while other shit gets multiple

Go back tranny.

So what is the deal with anime lately? Back in my day series used to be 26 episodes long with proper endings. In the last decade it seems like shows will be 13 episodes long and fuck you. And a big IF a BIG IF there’s more it takes 5 years for 13 more

Bill SB-20 passed. By U.S federal law this picture constitutes child pornography. Clean it up jannies.

I see you're a man of taste as well.

for me what I can't is their weird puritanism (nobody ever has sex) and egregious will-they-won't-they dynamics dragged out for fucking ages in slice of life animes. those go in the trash

however

cowboy bebop

kill la kill

jojos

are kino and there are many other examples, especially movies. ultimately, anime is not monolithic and you can't criticise all of it at once

Grand Blue Dreaming, and Saiki K are funny. The rest of anime comedy is very very hit or miss.

I think space dandy has the highest highs and the lowest lows of any watanabe. it has probably the best ending of any of his shows and the highs are fantastic

I mean just this ending sequence for episode 6 is insane

youtube.com/watch?v=uZvEY1lQNaY

And a big IF a BIG IF there’s more it takes 5 years for 13 more

Don't forget that 10 of those episodes are going to be filler's.
Fuck you, Overlord. I hope japan gets nuked again.

humiliation ritual

God, I wish that was me

Saiki K was genuinely really funny and very heartwarming. Rare case of a dub being fantastic. The bizarre deadpan of the english VA for saiki is perfect

god I love anime titties

Fucking this
Never thought I would end up laughing as much as I did from an anime about middle school girls
Asobi Asobase, Daily Lives of High School Boys, Prison School, Cromartie and Grand Blue are all fun

kino

Thats just modern zoomslop

The Japanese can't write for shit and are usually at their best when they adapt a western style of writing.

One of the few cases I genuinely laughed

Maybe some stuff just doesnt translate well.

qrd on pink hair girl?

chosen by the lord himself to be his prettiest warrior and kill heathens and non believers

Comedy is a weird one. The lowest bar to entry, but i think it has a very high skill ceiling for people intelligent and dedicated.

Back in my day series used to be 26 episodes long with proper endings. In the last decade it seems like shows will be 13 episodes long and fuck you. And a big IF a BIG IF there’s more it takes 5 years for 13 more

Anime got too expensive so it's cheaper to produce 13 episodes at a time. Never ending anime like One Piece are a thing of the past.

Anime got too expensive

so why does it all look so stiff and cheap?

The japs are embezzling the money to pay for their penis enlargement treatments.

Because inflation's a reality there too.

It’s strange to me that this show is so popular amongst the reddit crowd despite the heavy sexualization of a teenaged highschool girl and the attempted rape in the first episode

prison school

Degenerate

i like dat show

The only good anime are OVA's from the 80's and 90's

NOOO WE MUST STOP OUR FRIENDS FROM HAVING SEX AT ALL COSTS

I never understood this scene. is this why nobody in japan gets laid?

Jap comedy sucks. It is comprised entirely of: references to random Jap pop culture that nobody else knows and "oh you said X but I thought you said Y because the sounds are the same but the meanings are totally different!!! Now we have a misunderstanding and that is funny!!!"

They self insert as the nerd protag.

Wasureta hisashiburi da ne
EVERYBODY COME ON!

muh manime

didn't you know that all anime is mainstream now? COVID and Netflix made it so that 'adults' can enjoy it. anything that people don't like is usually swept under the rug

Then go watch K-On you fucking faggot.

The fairies carried this show.

if it weren't for faeries nobody would watch anime

WRONG! So wrong you are, it's funny.
Prison school isn't about the constant gratuitous borderline softcore porn and piss scenes!
It's about a man against the world, with only his bros by his side.
Watching the show some of the characters may remind you of your own bros in life. That's when you sigh and appreciate all the good times you and your bros have had.
Prison school is the greatest.
We're all gonna make it.

A.V. Job Interview was kino moment

youtube.com/watch?v=EsdSEHy2lDs

There are people in this thread who have never watched space opera kino.

I did

I'd rather have genuine silliness that isn't funny than constant self-referential sarcastic 4th wall breaking marvel humour that isn't funny.

something moderately funny happens

character explains WHY it’s funny

smile is sucked off my face with the force of a black hole

what is this style of “anti” humor that I despise so much?

see it’s funny because _____

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET THE JOKES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

he can't handle some tiddies and ass between the boys' shenanigans

sucks to be you, homo

Anon the joke "DUDE HE HAD SEX ISN'T THAT EMBARASSING?" doesn't really work in any known language except japanese. Which REALLY makes me think

detroit metal city is also funny

OP is right, despite the gayass way he used to expressed himself. For me, my favorite animated series is Aqua Teen Hunger Force; that's the barometer I use to judge all other animated (and sometimes live action) comedies, and i can say without reservation that no anime or manga even comes close to how funny ATHF is. Don't get me wrong, there are some particularly funny moments in certain series; I recently watched both Kanojo mo Kanojo and 100 Kanojos, and both of those were pretty damn funny, but nothing that comes from Japan can match ATHF in overall hilarity. And before you say shit to me, yes I know I'm biased, yes I know it's unfair to use one of my favorite childhood shows to compare things, and that the language barrier probably causes me to lose 99% of all the cultural and linguistic humor from anime, but it still stands. But just look at this scene:

youtube.com/watch?v=me6UvkXgXjg&t=149

The animation is as barebones as it gets: most of the time the characters are static and don't even move their limbs when closing doors or picking shit up for example. Most small objects look like they're lazily photo shopped from IRL pictures, and there's only like 4-5 different voice actors each episode. The budget for ATHF must be shoestring tier, it probably costs a fraction of what a random seasonal anime costs. Yet it's completely hilarious. Tell me that if there was a 1 for 1 remake of this show into Japanese, it wouldn't be just as funny.

I get that the main reason anime isn't as funny is linguistic; you can only be as funny as the trannylator who rewrites everything into English subtitles/speech bubbles. But another part is censorship. You can't use swear words in anime for... reasons, so most jokes come off as toothless to me. You can never be free to be truly funny if you've gotta tiptoe that hard around obscenity laws. And bleeping out swear words is unheard of in Japan, so in the end it just feels like they're all made for kids

You can't use swear words in anime for... reasons

Not anymore or since forever?

Japanese is pretty lacking in profanity, one of their most offensive words loosely just means 'stupid brute'. A lot of offensiveness in Japanese comes from speaking coarsely in situations where manners would be anticipated. Assburger language, yes.

Athf is extremely low effort shitposting humor, and japan likely looks down on ot the same way this thread looks down on particular low effort anime humor. Though honestly athf is probably worse, despite the fact im able to enjoy it, its a shitpost

And it's always the same fucking tropes. Ooooh the popular pink haired stacy bitch lusting after the nerd MC, only so she can be shit on and the brown haired self insert girl can win. Ooooh look, the popular "best friend" guy character who only really exists to be the butt monkey and make the nerd faggot appear more powerful

Because all anime is complete dream delusion fantasy for losers. Hiroshima really fucked up the Japanese psyche and it never recovered, to the point of them now literally becoming extinct

hey make those stupid grunts and gay poses.

How do people watch that and not cringe. I understand i'ts a Japanese thing. But how do you as a westerner watch that and not cringe out your skin.

to the point of them now literally becoming extinct

Japan has a population of 125 million people and is one of the highest population density large countries on Earth. South Korea is even more statistically dense and retards freak out about their birthrates too. They're overpopulated and no one with an IQ higher than 85 wants to have kids when they're packed in with people.

But how do you as a westerner watch that and not cringe out your skin.

I cringe harder watching Western media past 2010

Pointing at someone is seen as super disrespectful.

I understand i'ts a Japanese thing

Which would be fine if the ENG dubs didn't replicate it for some asinine reason.

come to the Anon Babble board of an anime website to bitch about anime

don't you have better things to do? Like your homework?

Because all anime is complete dream delusion fantasy for losers.

How is Heike Monogatari a "dream delusion fantasy for losers"? That's like saying "all movies are about Marvel".

Listening to Christian bale do anime speak ruined that movie for me. I guarantee this is why western fags keep saying subs are better. The second hand embarrassment.

I like the manga but man the author can't write for shit. Outside the action its all dogshit that makes no sense. And ofcourse every character has a sad back story even the aliens, ghost, demons.

And ofcourse every character has a sad back story even the aliens, ghost, demons.

Why can't villains just be villains?

Well, let's not forget they want to avoid offending the nerd outcast girls as well as the nerd outcast guys

reddit and Anon Babble are longer relevant. No cares what either site thinks anymore. Which is good reddit is awful. These same people have endless porn subs with underage anime girls.

>they make those stupid grunts and gay poses

But enough about Hollywood films.

sir that is an anime for children/teenagers, i believe they do find that funny

Anime is the least funny thing on the planet, One Punch Man is alright but the rest is about as funny as pediatric oncology. The worst was FMA Brotherhood, every serious joke was undercut by a corny joke that deflates all tension. Idk why people complain about MCU humor but then give that mid series a pass. 2003 was infinitely better if you're not a manga autist

It does make me depressed. Great illustration work, style, animation, good character designs, has a lot of charm to it in theory. But then at it's core anime is just so fucking trite and creatively bankrupt, because we all already know the Japanese are all about their filial piety and whatever, and never shaking the status quo

I can excuse all of that to some extent, because if you look at Western movie tropes, really it's all bullshit we've been brainwashed into seeing as "realism" when in fact it's just as cartoony. Just look at superhero movies that try to pass themselves off as gritty, complete with retarded quippy dialogue

you all raise some very valid points
good job anons, good job
HOWEVER
Momo is cute

I hate the fucking characters in this series

Is this the normalfag general?

Most anime is tailor made for virgin retards. Some of it is high tier kino, however.

That's a weird thing about anime. Main character lusted after by the hottest people on the planet, but oooh he never does anything with anyone look what a nice HUMBLE guy he actually he for resisting temptation (but remember he's still the most desirable guy on the planet, even beating out the more popular attractive men).

I have trouble putting it into words exactly, but at the same time I know a lot of you probably aren't familiar enough with anime to even know what I'm addressing. But essentially it's the "no way fag" thing that Japs absolutely LOVE.

Another tranime thread....

Why does this show have a 50% opacity white filter over it?

I get what you're talking about anon, and you make a good point. In a lot of Western power fantasies, tons of women are inexplicably attracted to the MC, and the MC bangs them. Meanwhile, in anime power fantasies, tons of women are inexplicably attracted to the MC, but the MC rejects them. I think this shows an interesting difference that may hint at something larger. In the Western world, the power fantasy is about the hedonic experience, the ability to fuck as many desirable women as you want. For anime, the power fantasy is about the catharsis of inverting gender norms, creating a fantasy where men are pursued by women and are the ones to reject women's advances, rather than the vice versa reality.

yes
hollywood slop and k-shit eaters can't stand japan being japan in general just like 13 yo girls can't help bullying weird kids in school

Kuso opinion desu.

Webm related was the only funny anime.

I didn’t hate it but I just never got into it. Maybe I just hyped myself up too much for it.

Cobra is the only anime Japan ever needed to make and even then just the tv series since the ova is weak in comparison

It's because 90% of the people who work on these things are themselves either literal virgins, soapland-only social virgins, or people who somehow got roped into an early marriage and have only ever been with one frigid woman with whom they have silent missionary sex once a month.

Stacy who turns out to be a turbosperg

Should've just had the vampire girl and no one else. Guess you can include the little fish girl but her mom's dead so the two can adopt her.

the power fantasy is about the catharsis of inverting gender norms, creating a fantasy where men are pursued by women and are the ones to reject women's advances, rather than the vice versa reality.

That's fucking gay as fuck, bro.

why are obeseoid Amerimutts obsessed with these fucking jap cartoons?

Why is anime so ugly now? It used to have cool artstyles

anon, having shitlib white women and jews rewrite anime so the original writers intention is gone isn't funny, it's annoying.
