Comedies from last year.
The year people ignored Robot Girls Z, WUG Zoo, and Ai Mai Mi Catastrophe. Who can forget?
Didn't watch it, but since you were one of the few to also watch and rate KKK I may give it a go one day.
I've been meaning to watch that. The new series was this season as well.
Another I should probably check out. Oh dear.
I agree with this.
Saved anime that year.

I don't know what this is, but sold.
Ah. Comedies are always decisive. Everyone's funny bone is a little different 
Looking at my graph.anime (I know, I know), I don't tend to watch many comedies but then again almost every show has a bit of comedy in it. I mean...apparently according to the site, Little Witch Academia is comedy so what truly is a comedy? Life itself in many ways is a comedy.

You have debates about Master of None vs Louie, which is the strange thing to see. And yeah, comedy is so subjective that it really doesn't matter.Ah. Comedies are always decisive. Everyone's funny bone is a little different
(Also Sabagebu was the best comedy last year by far.

I don't really watch American Sitcoms or similar television series but I take it those two shows are different and yet compared to one another, taking a quick glance at Google tells me as such. You get that a lot, you see it on the gaming side too. People like making comparisons I guess even if it doesn't make much sense
Not to say comedies can't be compared but that they come in all shapes and sizes, to such a degree that pigeonholing them into buzzwords doesn't capture the nuance that makes them work. I've seen things that have made me laugh my ass off and then the very next day I wonder why I found it so funny Also, I'll take your word for it

Ah Cromartie high, cool show. Brings back good memories. No idea what was up with that Mechazawa kid tho. Something about him.

Comedy itself is so diverse that you can have specific genres of it. D-Frag's comedy is mostly manzai, while Sabagebu is mostly about situational comedy or character comedy. It's possible to just prefer one style over the other, but they're different enough that it becomes to directly compare them.
Like, maybe you can say that Mozart "sounds better" than Queen, since they're both "music". But maybe that's just because you prefer classical to rock.
jesus talk about sophie's choice
Pretty much. To be honest like Anime itself I can never pinpoint just what I like exactly, in that sense I don't necessarily hate a certain type of comedy or show but rather it depends on the mood I'm in. Whether its the gags in FLCL or the perverseness of Ryo from City Hunter which usually ends in slapstick when Kaori smashes him in the face with a 100 ton hammer like something out of Looney Tunes to the random kind of comedy that you find in something like Cromartie it all hits me in the right spot in the heat of the moment which is all that matters. Having said that gags in anime have fallen flat for me many times too.
Keep dragging it out so mentions of WUG Zoo can continue all the way to the AotY voting period. Then no one has an excuse for forgetting it!
Pretty accurate

Everyone who is watching that is watching it seriously.
B Gata is several years old.

I'd have to think hard about the comedy anime I liked the most this year.
Tops spots are Monstergirls and Shimoneta though.

I completely forgot about the film even existing. It's weird that being in Tokyo, you sometimes have less access to this stuff. I never dared to face the masses that generally go to these things, either.
There was no mistaking that Love Live! crowd *shudders*
Honestly, it is just kind of boring, this may sound odd but it isn't embracing its trashiness like Symphnogear, it wants to be taken somewhat seriously and it fails.
The general stuff is, on the whole, pretty bad. Culturally, different stuff just plays over there. I have plenty of friends who absolutely adore all the variety shows, and the "tarento" that appear on them, whilst I'm always ambivalent towards it.

OK, what is up with that little girls face? That is just, umm, WTF?
btw, there is only 1 choice for Comedy of the year:
Shimoneta
Anna, Anna, Anna!
U wot mate? I mean, D-Frag wasn't our saviour and became somewhat boring later on, but it was pretty cool.
But if we talk about good comedy, last year we had Amagi Brilliant Park, Mikakunin and Twintails. Twintails was like so damn crazy, it was glorious.
You know, after watching a slew of serialized shows, it'd be nice to consume a little bit of cheese.
As one of the forum's biggest proponents of YuruYuri, I trust your judgment when it comes to comedy. I'll certainly give it a shot!

I didn't find the Eden movie to be particularly impressive and I recall the AnimeGAF consensus of it was kind of similar. Its OP and music are near universally praised however.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you have my attention

The only other AnimeGAF impression of Project Eden I recall is Instro's, and I believe he liked it as well. Project Eden is a very stylishly directed movie with good, brisk pacing, and it is the best entry in the Dirty Pair franchise as well as the best action movie of the 1980s.
Now I feel bad because the VA passed away. She was also great in Soma as the horrifying chef, lol
