10. Anime: Grand Blue Dreaming
Grand Blue You don’t need monsters or powers to be epic. His story of a group of college students who just study and drink too much becomes a delirious comedy about youth, friendship and chaos. The characters are always on the verge of ridiculous, and that’s just what makes it work so well.
9. Anime: My Love Story!! (Pray Monogatari!!)
A romantic comedy with a giant soul. Literally. Takeo Goda He is a protagonist outside the mold: huge, noble and sincere, who falls in love with the tender Rinko. The fun here is not the misunderstandings, but how genuine everything is. It is impossible not to smile with every clumsy gesture of love and every absurd situation that only the heart of Takeo can make it endearing.
8. Anime: Hinamatsuri
Few animes manage to mix as well comedy, tenderness and absurdity as Hinamatsuri. The story of a girl with psychic powers who falls from the sky and ends up living with a yakuza is pure gold. Each episode has its own kind of humor, from the surreal to the emotional, and its balance between chaos and affection is perfect.

The cusp of goal humor and referential chaos. Gintama He is able to make fun of the anime industry, Shonen Jump himself and even himself without losing rhythm.
