I am in need of laughs right now. What's the funniest manga/anime that you guys have ever read/watched?

Full Metal Panic!

and

MM!

Yes, they both have the ! at the end. THEY'RE ALSO BOTH HILARIOUSLY GOOD.

I recommend Fumoffu over regular for laughs.

Yeah, the first is sort of mixed, Fumoffu is basically comedy only and Second Raid is Srs Bzns.
Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

From what I could understand, Fumoffu is basically only the comedy bits of the first half of the manga.

The football episode had me in stitches.

So I heard you like Hellsing, the manga with the most badass Alucard ever.

Then perhaps you may be interested in Drifters, another manga from the same author. Don't mind the page synopsis, the basis of the story is that great personalities of war that died with wishes unfulfilled get transported to ye old fantasy land with elves and dwarves and magic and dragons and whatnot. And then proceed to keep doing what they did best in life, aka rallying armies under their command and kicking general ass while combining tactics from diferent eras and styles of warfare! All sprinkled with some good Hellsing-style dark humor!

Just watched the first Tenchi Muyo movie.  It's a bit of a misnomer since the name is Tenchi Falls in Love! but nothing at all happened along that line.  We'll see what happens in the others I guess.

Thank you so fucking much for pointing this out to me.

EDIT: Am now up to chapter 24.

Is it just me or is Toyohisa obsessed with getting head?

So, i just found out about this AWESOME anime and i have to share it with you guys: Name is Moyashimon. It's about a fresh-from highschool university student who has the power to see microbes with the naked eye. But what he sees are not the microbes you and i could through an electron microscope, but actual antropomorphic representations of the microbes that he can talk to and understand! And so, he enters the Agriculture University to study and hopefully take over the family business, but ends up meeting a whole bunch of weird people from the Uni!

It's fun like hell, and you actually learn a fair bit about fermentation, especially brewing from the anime. Definitely a must have for anyone who's ever thought about having their own homebrew beer someday.


PS: Curse you and bless you Oslecamo! Drifters is just *too* goddamn awesome. But now i'm all psyched up to read it till it finishes, and it just started too... Whatever the hell i'm going to do?!? Sigh... It's not even a weekly manga, either... Actually, i don't know it's update schedule. It seems sort of erratic. It's not monthly sometimes, more like a two-week/three-week schedule? Sometimes it's a month, sometimes it's less... Anyway.

HiraKo sure is a military fan, huh? I had read about it after seeing his character parody in HoTD and found out he started to research firearms and military to get the drawing of the guns spot on for Hellsing, but i guess he really took it all the way.

The first chapter is from 2009, so it didn't "just start".  :p

If the Hellsing manga was a sign of measure, then yes erratic update schedule. Always keeping an eye open for new chapters.

And yes, HiraKo sure did his research in weapons and field tactics. I wonder how far they'll be able to get tech-wise.

Yes, his characters, both in Hellsing and now in Drifters seem to have longer arms than they should, in proportion to the rest of their body. But the rest is roughly in proportion.

Count the number of heads. Measure their thighs in proportion to their torso. Hell, take a look at their FREAKING DISTORTED EYES. (Here's a hint: proportions-wise, any character whose height is greater than 7-8 heads is really tall. 11 heads and he's a giant.)

Not saying it's not good art in its own right - HiraKo's stories just wouldn't be the same if he drew shit CLAMP-style. But Da Vinci would barf if he saw them.

Maybe it's because it's drawn in proportion to the rest of the environment and setting? Or maybe i just got used to it...

What about tech, what speculations can you provide? :D

I'm more worried about what the combination of unknown factors will bring.

FUNimation put up all 13 episodes of Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar on Youtube.  They are now copied onto my hard drive via Youtube downloader.
