Some of that comes from jokes that land despite the language barrier. His name is Katori Yutaro, and he’s the hero of the 1991 anime Taiyou.
Still, the show manages to be legitimately funny, which is why it takes the title of best comedy anime. Confused anime dude is actually supposed to be confused because he’s an android whose programming isn’t quite right. Gintama straddles a fine line where some jokes may be lost on Western audiences.
The original played the material straight, while the dub is one of the most hilarious anime series of all time. Ghost Story is another example where the humor was introduced almost entirely in the dub. In the original Japanese, the humor was primarily based on puns and double-talk. A prime example is Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, which Western audiences know for its surrealist, nonsensical humor. The funniest series out there rely on Japanese puns that don't translate. 59 points 3 comments - When the crew keeps sayin you should stop that gay anime shit but your waifu is your laifu.

Some jokes may be lost on Western audiences. The original has an even pace and more drama.

The difference is the former was produced while the manga was in production, so the end of the show has nothing to do with the manga. This meme is a Japanese manga and anime series created by Hirohiko Araki and published by Shueisha.
The more contentious issue is whether to choose Fullmetal Alchemist or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.įor the uninitiated, Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are based on the same manga. There's no question about whether the story of the Elric brothers belongs on any list of the best anime of all time.
Building on that foundation, it delivers a story about two brothers that's as grounded as the setting is fantastic. The reason Fullmetal Alchemist is the best fantasy anime of all time is that it paints a fully realized, unique world with internally consistent rules that have real consequences.
