Comedy anime that will make you laugh until you cry
Even if you've heard of these titles before, the best part of comedy anime is that they can be watched over and over without ever getting bored. What's better than hearing the same joke again but this time it's even more hilarious?!
Whether these anime titles are brand-new to you or not, be ready to laugh so hard that you can't hold back the tears. Here are five comedy anime titles to stream right now!
Good Luck Girl
Where to stream: Crunchyroll
Ichiko has far too much good luck in her life. She's beautiful, smart, popular, rich, and all the things that everyone wishes they could be. Too bad the universe sees it best to humble her by putting upon her a god of misfortune who seeks to balance out her good luck with a few instances of terrible luck.
Between the many tries and failures of the god of misfortune and the hilarious examples of Ichiko's good luck persisting throughout it all, this show is such an underrated comedy that absolutely deserves more praise. Granted, some of the humor is very outlandish. Even so, believe us when we say that Good Luck Girl's humor only makes the show better over time, especially when it comes to the callbacks to some iconic anime shows that you know and love.
KONOSUBA -An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
Where to stream: Crunchyroll
Isekai anime shows never cease to have a ridiculous amount of humor in them, as the very premise of the genre itself is pretty funny.
In KONOSUBA, Kazuma Sato, a poor young lad is, once again, on the verge of death. However, just as he's about to die and be sent to another world, he's allowed to take one thing with him. Little did the gods know that he would opt to take a goddess with him!
With a goddess by his side, Kazuma embarks on a new path where he must become strong enough to fend off the evil that lurks in the world. The journey is much easier said than done, but between his goddess and the many people he meets along the way, there's nothing he can't do.
Laid-Back Camp
Where to stream: Crunchyroll
Sometimes it's not about the destination. Rather, it's about the journey that one takes to get to their final location that makes all the difference in our enjoyment.
This is a lesson that you will definitely learn when you watch Laid-Back Camp, as this anime explores the life of Nadeshiko, a young girl whose journey to Mount Fuji was unexpectedly flipped on its head. Nevertheless, she realizes that she's not the only one experiencing this unfortunate circumstance, thus, beginning a life full of fun adventures and little joys along the way.
My Deer Friend, Nokotan
Where to stream: Crunchyroll
My Deer Friend, Nokotan is one of those comedy anime shows that you simply have to see to believe.
The 2024 title follows the life of Koshi, a former delinquent who is trying to start her life afresh. However, in the middle of thriving and enjoying her popularity, she stumbles upon a half-deer half-human individual who knows all about her past and then some. Desperate to protect her identity, Koshi becomes acquainted with this creature. But little did Koshi know that this deer would bring so many more problems beyond her past being figured out!
Spy x Family
Where to stream: Crunchyroll
If you aren't watching Spy x Family, we're guessing it's because you've either never heard of it or seem to have completely forgotten about its existence. Well, allow us to tell you that this isn't an anime that you want to miss out on because it will never fail to put a smile on your face.
Wholesome, adorable, and sweet are just a few words that we can use to describe this anime because it tells the story of a young girl named Anya and her newfound family that consists of an assassin mother, an undercover spy father, and a dog that can see the future. Together, this family tries to pretend to not possess their overpowered talents to be a picture-perfect family. But, as you might've guessed, life is far from easy when hiding your true identity.
Undoubtedly, these five anime are great to revisit at any point of your life. Be sure to head to Crunchyroll to start your binge watch. Also, stay tuned with Anime Away to receive more anime recommendations!
