Sagara Sousuke is far from the average high school student -- not only is he highly trained in military tactics, he puts his knowledge to use in every single applicable situation (and even those nonapplicable ones.) So, when confronted with high school, he tends to turn average high school experiences into off-the-wall adventures. Love letters become terrorist threats and field trips become commando operations; his survival depends on the watchful eye of his best friend and classmate, Chidori. Together, they may just make it out of high school alive...
Ten-year-old genius Chiyo, animal-loving Sakaki, loudmouth Tomo, athletic Kagura, weight-conscious Yomi and dim-witted Osaka are six friends who share laughs, good times, and a high school homeroom. With scary (and sometimes perverted) teachers, school festivals, penguin suits and general hilarity abounding, you can be sure that there's never a dull day in the life of one of these students!
Azumanga Daioh is a good combination with any anime, but is an especially good show to watch if you are looking for a lot of nonstop comedy like Fumoffu has.
Azumanga Daioh and FMP? FUMOFFU are so gut-splittingly hilarious they are without any (coherent) explanation, but I shall attempt.
FUMOFFU will have you on the ground rolling in laughter, trying to draw breath into your burning lungs. It's that hilarious. From Sousuke Sagara swearing up a storm while converting a bunch of pansies into a frankly terrifying rugby team, to The Matrix parodies, it's a nonstop test of your ability to keep breathing and see the TV through tears of laughter.
Azumanga Daioh is basically the same. Detachable ponytails, killer cats, and epic shoe-losing make this series a must see. The silly characters will have you giggling madly. Like FUMOFFU, watch with friends for extra laughs. It's always funnier with friends.
Both series, expecially FUMOFFU, get a 10/10 for pure comedy and side-splittingly awesome quotes. Never before have I wanted to get a Bonta-kun suit solely for taking over the world. XD
Both the anime are comedy based, and lack an obvious plot. Fumoffu is a romantic comedy, and an extreme version of Azumanga Daioh. Fumoffu uses extreme cases and romance to make the story come together, while Azumanga Daioh uses only the semi-extreme jokes. If you've laughed at Fumoffu, you'd do the same with Azumanga Daioh, and vise-versa. For each of them, there was at least one moment where I fell out of my seat, laughing.
Well, how to describe them ...? Hmm, I think that the best word that connects to both is "hilarious". Yes, that's exactly it! Both series are so hilarious that you won't be able to sit still in front of the screen. Action is placed mostly in school so you may imagine how many situations may occur, right? If you like good comedies with little action but great episodic plot then here you have it!
Liked the random sort of comedy FMA? Fumoffu or Azumanga Daioh had? You'll love the other one in that case! Granted, in Azumanga you won't be seeing Sousuke get beaten up by Chidori every five minutes, and FMA? Fumoffu isn't about a group of girls being random, but they share the same sense of humour that'll make you laugh out loud multiple times each episode without resorting to incredibly crude jokes.
Tsukamoto Tenma is young, bright, and smitten with the school hottie Karasuma Ooji. She's desperate for his attention, which is unfortunate considering he barely gives her the time of day! Throw Harima Kenji, the school delinquent with a crush on Tsukamoto into the mix and you've got one twisted love triangle of unrequited proportions! Can love find the trio happiness before their attention-grabbing stunts end up hurting more than their egos?
Fumoffu's comedy is based off of sheer randomness and a wonderfully common-sense-deficient character, whereas School Rumble bases its comedy on sheer randomness, common-sense-deficient characters, and romantic misunderstandings. So, aside from one extra factor on the part of Rumble, (and Fumoffu does actually have romance, it just isn't used as much for jokes) these are two remarkably similar anime. If you enjoyed the comedy in one, you should find a good bit of it present in the other.
If you want to lighten up your mood and you just want to watch some slightly senseless events happening, both School Rumble and Fumoffu can serve you tons of laughter. Both these series left me teary-eyed from laughing. So if you liked one, I'm sure that you'll going to love and get addicted to the other.
In School Rumble and FMP:F, the main lead has absolutely zero idea about romance. This of course makes a lot of funny things happen which we all enjoy.
What happens when those driven by speed, power and cunning attend high school?
Whether it's the soldier from the battlefield or the famous devil from the streets, both main characters don't fit easily into Japanese school life. But it sure as hell is funny to watch them struggle for love and peace!
They both take an everyday thing, something that we see daily, such as school kids, and elaborate upon their experiences... except they do it in a hilarious way that you would guess is not quite your everyday experience
Just like School Rumble, Full Metal Panic is a romance comedy filled with laughs, awkward embarassing moments, and confused feelings. Both take place at a high school and have a wide range of characters who are all looking for happines and a good time.
Keitaro Urashima is somewhat of a failure. In order to fulfill a promise he made to a girl fifteen years ago, he has tried time and again to get into Tokyo U but has never managed to pass the exam. However, fate smiles upon him and he ends up working for his aunt, managing an all-girls dorm! Living with the feral Kaolla, the timid Shinobu, the sake-loving Mitsune, the blade mistress Motoko and the punch-happy Naru, can Keitaro keep his focus and keep his promise? And will he ever end up meeting that girl from his past?
If you loved watching poor Sousuke take a beating at the hands of Kaname in Fumoffu, you're going to love Love Hina. In these two series the main characters learn the real meaning of "tough love" as the women in their lives show them the true meaning of pain. Keitaro, like Sousuke, doesn't have the best of luck with girls and while he tries his best to help, accidents tend to happen and usually end up with him getting knocked into the next dimension. But despite all of their mess ups both men are really nice guys who would do anything to help the women in their lives.
Both main characters in FMPF and Love Hina are at the mercy of their female counterparts and both anime have lots of slapstick humor. That is what makes these so funny!
At Cromartie High, it’s tough being a delinquent -- a fact that do-gooder Takashi Kamiyama intimately understands. When he’s not engaging in contests of strength and rival gang wars, Kamiyama can also be found submitting punny jokes and planning his own rise to fame within the delinquents’ ranks, and that’s just the beginning! With friends like robotic Mechazawa, a giant gorilla, a hairy man from the 80s named Freddie and a clan of delinquents with mohawks that flow in the wind, how can anyone not enjoy high school?
Cromartie High School is about a high school filled with badasses who do crazy things; FMP Fumoffu is about a high school with one badass who does very crazy things. Both will make you laugh, often!
Fumoffu and Cromartie High are both anime that are completely random. Fumoffu is random because Sagara is so clueless about things, while Cromartie might be just plain weird to some. On top of that even the setting (high school) is the same!
Just plenty of fun and nonsense for a quick watch you won't regret unless you were also looking for a more thorough and complex show.
Not much mental work, but lots and lots of laugh assured!
Deep in the mountains, isolated from civilization, there is a boys-only school that will finally be receiving its first class of girls in an attempt to transform the school into a co-ed one. Most of the boys have never been in contact with girls of their own age, leading to an explosion of hormonal craziness. From the sickeningly perverted fetishist guys, to a rather odd girl that seems to be chasing the most normal guy in the school for reasons known only to her, there's twisted humor to be had.
If you liked Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu you should also like Green Green because they share a similar comedic style.
