Real talk though, comedy Anime is hella hit or miss, emphasis on the miss.

That's mostly because I don't really like a lot of anime tropes so I wouldn't really enjoy a genre that takes said tropes and multiplies that by 1000x. Plus, a lot are just really ****ing weird in both concept and execution, like I don't wanna watch "I got reincarnated into a camel and my hot yandere sister wants to [insert whatever verb here] me"
Watch Gintama. The humour is extremely meta and it's stuff like this where they make fun of filler in anime.

Do any of the other games explain how all the princesses got taken to Hollow Bastion?

Other than Alice, Jasmine, and Belle, all the others show up with no explanation or any build up

Comedy anime is in a bit of weird spot for me since I still enjoy the genre but don't think I've ever seen one that's had me legitimately laughing outside of a grin or small chuckle every few episodes or so. A lot of the humor just doesn't land for me and feels a bit hollow.

I'll still look into Nichijou though.
I still find it to be one of the best comedies out there but just depends on what you think on absurdist humour. If you liked something as crazy as Katamari Damacy then you'll love this. Hell I consider it to be as close as possible to an anime based on it IMO.
And its KyoAni so another reason.

If anything honestly its more Isekai comedy that I've a bit of an issue with. Ever since rewatching Konosuba a while back I've noticed how a lot try way, way too hard to be funny.

I do wonder how much humor tends to get lost in translation.

I know I did say about Konosuba and a few issues with it still but my god is this song so amazing to just casually listen to while cycling.

Yeah, Bendis really didn’t know how to handle him. It’s like Deadpool and Liefeld, Miles is better in the hands of people other than the ones that created him.
for the most part, he spent a good while treating Miles like Peter with a different skin color, rarely touching upon his heritage for some reason. Did the same with Riri (but took out any charm and respect before making her the top Iron person for a couple years) and is doing it again with Naomi (with the addition of being loved by all the heroes and becoming op).

this is the first time I’ve ever actually heard a song from Konosuba…I’ve always skipped the intro and outro for this show to get to the funnies

All I know is that FMA Brotherhood is my favorite show of all time and I doubt anything will ever beat it. Breaking Bad got close, though.

That said, I did like Panty and Stocking which is odd because I seems like a show I wouldn't like.

Can't wait for the 2nd season that will be coming... eventually
At least now PSG is owned by Studio Trigger rather then Studio Gainax, which means Imaishi, the director, actually owns the copyright for the series. So maybe finally we'll get something.

Just also posting this since its a great OP. Princess Connect I find a bit similar to Millionaire Detective for thoughts (tries to be two things at once sort of deal and falters a bit) but its animation is glorious.


Here is but a taste of Nichijou, btw.

It is an experience.
Also if you like Nichijou I'd recommend getting the manga City.

Same author and hoping KyoAni does animate it when the time comes.

While we're talking about anime, it's time for me to SHAMELESSLY plug Odd Taxi.

It's a 13 episode long mystery/crime anime animated by the same folks who animate Pokemon, and it's seriously amazing. The full series is out now, subbed and dubbed, so if ya have Crunchyroll, I seriously suggest giving it a watch. It's super underrated, legit one of my favorite animated shows.

Legends Arceus

I did not know you had to catch all the Pokémon to fight Arceus... I guess I'm done with the game for now because it's Rune Factory day, I'll be sure to revisit it before Scarlet and Violet release. I love this game though

Since the movie’s coming up soon, wanna make a prediction for a scene in the Sonic movie:

Sometime after Sonic goes crazy trashing the house after Tom and Maddie go to the wedding, he finds himself sitting on the couch playing a Mario game while smack talking it, saying stuff like “this guy’s way too slow for my liking” or “how’d this guy get so popular? He eats MUSHROOMS for a living!” He then sees Luigi in the game and laments that it’d be nice to have a younger brother to connect with.

For a second I thought I was reading a deleted story piece of yours then I saw Sonic.
