There's some shows with a lot of potential imho. The one I think sounds the best is the one of the outcast prince from a destroyed country who wanders around and learns about friendship and shit.
His knowledge on fecal matter becomes damn good.

To be fair, those images look to have been clipped from a photograph of a magazine spread. Whilst still not exactly dissimilar, if you go through the character art on the official site, they do at least all have different facial features and subtly different jawlines.
PS - Nanoka from the rival group is actually the best girl.

Nothing about that encounter with
was very interesting to me. He didn't really...do anything. Shrine was
and the payoff to that was
which makes the rest of the plot a bit...mmm...
The animation was off this episode as well, with a lot of pans over still shots.
Nothing about that encounter with
the head priest
set up as this powerful organization
"Lol nope I'm basically God cause he's lazy and Shrine can't touch me"

Is free any good?I dunno I think the cast of Free! has them beat in that regard:
Is it just a shounen sports series?

It's ok but the terrible KyoAni DRAMA ruins the last few episodes.
The first few episodes were fun especially with all the drama being interlayed there leading to the fun Rin is probably dead jokes going around.
I still believe.

Damn, the old joke of "anime is dead!" is going to be true at this rate. I will watch Space Dandy, Silver Spoon 2nd season (and I considered the first season to have only a few truly good eps) and maybe the Bones anime with the minor God.

Personally, It is the best anime to ever air, excellent action in both the water and out of it. The music is also excellent and there is actually deep character interaction. It also has the best OP song (Rage On) this year and ED (Splash Free, and all remixes).

welp. Any excuse I had for still trying to agree with this guy here and now, maybe defending him every now and then, are now practically gone. http://kotaku.com/noucome-is-this-past-season-s-funniest-anime-1482502337

Next season is looking good. You've got your usual suspects: cute girls do jack shit show, some creepy little sister show, your lesbian show, your fan service anime and the saviour of anime aka Space Dandy.

Didnt you mean Buddy Complex? And let us not forget Zex Ignition.
I I think I might actually agree with most of a Kotaku article.
I'm scared.
...I don't think that's what layered humor means. I think the phrase this guy is looking for is "Something happens which causes another thing to happen". Doesn't layered humor mean something that's funny on multiple levels?
Kotakuanime is still redeemed by that one article praising Steins;Gate though.
Was this the same dude that said "Sword Art Online is the smartest anime I've watched in years"?
OH FOR FUCK SAKES!

It was.
To be fair, like what comedic shows have even aired this season? Valvrave and parts of KLK are the only ones ringing a bell for me right now.
Valvrave is Comedy, Tragedy, Western, Spiritual, Folklore, Romance, Angst, Adventure anime of the forever.
Outbreak Company.
Non Non was funnier than Noucome. Noucome was anti-funny. Like that werewolf ex-cop show last year.
Yuusha ni Narenakatta was funnier then Nocoume.
Outbreak Company too.
A dog dying in a ditch would be funnier than the two episodes I saw of Yuusha I saw.
That should tell you how unfunny NouCome is.

I saw spats somewhere, it must be at least a decent show.

You're wrong. NouKome is a bad show, but it was amusing at times. YuuShibu wasn't unless you consider constant in-your-face fanservice funny.

Mature......fits perfectly lol. Those are my two favourites as well.
Truth.

Yowamushi Pedal and some episodes of Gundam Build Fighters have had the best comedy I've seen this season.
Er, NouCome was pretty built on constant in-your-face fanservice humor as well.

True, but it wasn't about constant pantyshots and contrived nudity scenes and stuff... YuuShibu was.
I may or may not have seen some comical animal deaths in my life.

Super Seisyun Brothers.
I do agree that Yuushibu hasn't been all that funny.
It's still been consistently enjoyable regardless. Fino's too damn cute and honestly, I feel it's been handling the work SoL aspects better than SxS or Maou-sama did. Plus I'm not allergic to fanservice.
Pfft, typical carrion-eater.

I'd choose Outbreak Company anyday. And that's IF I had to choose.
But saying "is the best comedy" for a "it's the only comedy" situation is very misleading. The issue is this guy has said before SAO is good, and has also said that Cowboy Bebop is crap.
It's ok if you think CB wasn't all that, but to say it's a legitimate bad show with nothing to back it up besides "I didn't enjoy it" takes a very special kind of person. Especially when you like other shows most people with a sense of taste frown upon.
But I don't really want to get on quality vs taste.
Eh, YuuShibu and NouCome are both fanservice-laden to be sure, but I'd say the focus of the two shows feels pretty different.
YuuShibu is a fanservice show with comedy elements - its main appeal is in the cuteness of its girls (well, mainly Fino), and the fanservice and SOL-style character interaction is clearly more prominent than any humour.
Whereas NouCome is a comedy show with fanservice elements - the focus is on the wacky humorous hijinks. The fanservice elements, while very much present, are ultimately secondary to that, and to an extent exist to serve the humour.
Hey man, nobody has ever once said dinner and a movie was a bad thing.
The only hope of saving it now is to have Raku shaft tilt so hard he pops a blood vessel in his neck and dies of a stroke in the first ep.
