Comedy is a popular genre for any type of entertainment. Be it books, movies, series or in this case anime. I have always found Japanese Comedy Animes extremely hilarious. The way voice actors deliver every dialogue, their voice, the topics etc. are always top notch and no matter how stoic you are, it will always make you laugh out loud. Comedy becomes very imporatnat for shounen genre animes. Because shounen animes are mostly based on fighting action and comedy.

I personally love when crude or gag humor is used. If you are fan of these type humor then this ranking is for you. And even if you prefer some other type of humor still you can read the ranking because these animes that I have mentioned here are funny in general and some of them are very underrated while others are widely popular.

Top 5 Comedy Animes Ranked:

5. Mashle: Magic and Muscles

Mashle released in 2023. It currently has 2 seasons and a total of 24 episodes.

Mashle is the most recently released anime in this list. And with its first season it has gain immense popularity. It is kind of a parody of Harry Potter if Harry Potter had no magic powers and had to survive in the magic academy how he would have done it. but the main character named Mash has superhuman physical prowess which helps him a lot in this magical adventures while being constantly supported by his friends.

4. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. released back in 2016 and has 3 seasons. While the first two seasons premiered tradtionally on T.V., the third season was created by Netflix so it is available there exclusively. The first two seasons can also be found on Netflix. This anime has 120 episodes in total, but each episode is made of several short stories.

Saiki is a psychic, and no one in his school know about his powers. This anime is about his daily life, how he handles his day to day problems with his psychic powers. And as this anime is mostly set in a school that means he has some quirky friends. Saiki might appear aloof but deep down he cares baout his friends and protects them when they are in trouble without them knowing.

3. Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

Kaguya Sama released in 2019 and has 3 seasons. It consists of 37 episodes and 1 movie that released in December 2022.

This anime is widely popular and I am hoping you already know about it but if you don’t then let me tell you in short. It is about a daily war between an intelligent boy and rich girl about who will confess their love first. Both of them love one another but thinks that the one who proposes first will be the loser in the relationship.

2. Gintama

I have already talked about Gintama in here, you can check it out. It is the oldest anime in this list, released back in 2006 and also has the highest number of episodes. Gintama has a total of 367 episodes.

If you read the above link, then you already know the reason for it to be here. Unlike number 1, the jokes of Gintama aren’t that dirty. But it has a big ensemble of characters, who create funny situations while interacting with one another. Other than that Gintama is a packed show, full of action, drama, thrill and obviously comedy.

1. You’re Being Summoned, Azazel

It is the second oldest anime in this list, releasing in 2011. It has a total of 2 seasons which consist of 26 episodes.

Before I found out about this anime, my number 1 was Gintama. But this is the only anime which will make you laugh at every scene if you are a fan of dirty jokes. I won’t spoil the story for you but it is about humans summoning demons to do their dirty work! This anime is highly underrated. Even I did not know about its existence until recently when I watched a scene of this anime on one of YouTube reels.
