ADV Films used an extremely comedic script for the dub, forsaking the failed seriousness of the orginal. I don’t generally appreciate English dubs, but this is an exception. That aside, Ghost Stories isn’t very funny if you watch the Japanese version with English subs. You might actually like the visuals if you’re similar to me and like “old” anime, when it was still done with a combination of hand-painted cels and digital artwork. Production Notes: Gakkou no Kaidan premiered in fall 2000 and was animated by studio Pierrot. Hidenori is a little bit like Gintoki, Yoshitake is a little bit like a male Kagura, and Tadanuki is similar to Shinpachi.Ĥ: Gakkou no Kaidan (Ghost Stories) (English Dub) Sunrise was the main studio for both shows.
ZETSUBOU SENSEI YOULL BE LAUGHING 7 YEARS FROM NOW SERIES
Gintama fans will probably love this series because Hidenori is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita (who also played Gintoki) and Yoshitake is voiced by Kenichi Suzumura (who also played Sougo).
Production Notes: Danshi Koukousei consists of 12 episodes animated by Sunrise Studio, directed by Shinji Takamatsu, and aired in Winter 2012. This description doesn’t nearly do justice to the hilarity in Danshi Koukousei, so check it out yourself! Go to YouTube and search for “daily lives of high school boys and literature girl.” The scenes with the “literature girl” are to die for. Their escapades include making each other try on skirts, failing terribly to sound cool in front of girls, and some intense role-playing games. It follows the daily lives of Tadakuni, Yoshitake, and Hidenori, some bored boys who have recently started high school. Synopsis and My Advice: This series is innocent but laugh-out-loud funny. Asobi Asobase also contains “adult” language, crude humor, and sometimes mild sexual humor, so consider skipping it if you want something “cleaner.”ģ: Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (Daily Lives of High School Boys) Yoshitake It has some of the funniest facial artwork ever seen. My Advice: If you love ridiculous, exaggerated face expressions and loud reactions, give this one a try. You’ll fall in love with these irreverent girls sooner than you might think. A mischeivous blond who occasionally speaks “Engrish”? Check. An ultra-serious and sometimes sadisitic introvert? Check. Do you think it’d be funny to have a loud-mouthed girl who isn’t too bright? Check. They form a club for playing games and passing the time. In a sense, it is slice-of-life, but it’s actually about the highly comedic and often highly inappropriate doings of the three school-girls Olivia, Hanako, and Kasumi. Synopsis: Don’t be decieved by the opening, which makes this anime look like a peaceful, healing slice-of-life anime. If you’re a person who’s easily “weirded out,” maybe skip this one.Ģ: Asobi Asobase (Workshop of Fun) Hanako There’s no sexual humor like in Shimoneta and not a lot of crude humor like in Gintama the comedy is brought solely by the absurd situations. It’s got the exact same kind of cinematograhpy, with close-ups, unusual angles, occasional frames of text, and those dramatic and funny head tilts. My Advice: This anime is a masterpiece comedy if you love absurd humor, over-the-top reactions, some repeated gags, and an overall atmosphere of “what the fudge am I watching?” Give it a try if you’re a fan of studio Shaft works like Madoka Magica and Bakemonogatari. The same can be said for most of the cast, including Tomokazu Sugita, who plays “Hoshi” and is most widely known for being the voice of Gintoki in Gintama. Both seiyuu are excellent actors and have a lot of experience doing hilarious roles. Riku is voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya and Nino is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto. Production Notes: Arakawa Under the Bridge was based on a manga and animated by studio Shaft the thirteen-episode series aired in spring 2010. So begins the insane life under the bridge, where absurdist comedy reigns supreme. Incidentally, Nino happens to believe she is an alien from Venus. They include “The Mayor,” who believes he is a Kappa, “Sister,” who is a nun despite being a brawny, gun-toting man, and “Hoshi” or “Star,” who wears a bizarre star-shaped mask and becomes Riku’s rival in love. He is renamed Riku, short for “Rikuruto” or “Recruit.” Now, it’s not just that the community of homeless people under the bridge are unfamiliar they’re all downright crazy. There is no choice but to do this, Kou decides. So what happens when the homeless girl known as Nino saves Kou from falling off a high bridge into the river? Well, she quietly suggests that Kou should become her lover, throwing away his priveleged life to live with her under the bridge. If he does, he must repay it right away with all the effort he can give. His father drilled it into his head that he should never owe a debt or a favor to anyone. Synopsis: Young Kou Ichinomiya is the filthy rich heir to his filthy rich family.
