what are some good animes to see/ buy after watching tragedies? I love goofy ones like FLCL etc. but i also dont really like quote one quote "Kiddy" animes. Ive seen too many tragedy animes recently and need a good break from them with some more high spirited ones.

Excel Saga is a good goofy one to watch.

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:16 pm**

well...Bleach tends to cheer me up. The random comedy and all. Plus the adrenaline doesn't hurt.

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:16 pm**

Slayers is a GREAT cheer up anime!

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:18 pm**

Azumanga daioh,

I should warn you to avoid the second half of Excel, except for ep 17... well, if you've ever been a Sailormoon fan, anyhow... Watch an ep of Sailormoon in Japanese, except for the short number of eps that had a different seiyuu for usagi (the end of Season 1 and the beginning of season 2, used the seiyuu that eventually did Chibi Usa's voice...) then watch excel 17... In Japanese with subs, of course... Oh, so stinking funny...

Thanks for the tips

On one of the Fruits Basket extras, the Japanese promo said that "it's a series that'll give you warm fuzzies" and that it does^^

Ranma 1/2 is funny but there is fanservice
Inu Yasha is very funny
Zone of the Enders TV is funny
Plantetes Has humor but very serious undertones

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 4:41 pm**

One Piece (the original one, not the dub) is incredible and always ends up making me feel good when I see it. Yes, even during some of the more "serious" moments (which are rare :p ).

It's humourous, unique, epic, and insanely fun. PM me if you're interested in checking it out. ;D

It all depends on your particuliar sense of humor as well.

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 6:58 pm**

I would have to agree with Bobtheduck that Azumanga Daioh is a good "cheer you up" anime.

A good "cheer you up" manga would definately be Yotsuba&!

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 7:03 pm**

Yes! Yotsuba will make you happy! So will Ranma 1/2. If you don't want to sit and watch a series, Howls Moving Castle will give you the warm fuzzies, as will Steamboy. Fruits Basket is a good one, as well as Ultra Maniac.

FLCL and Trigun always manage to make me smile...

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 7:34 pm**

BOBOBO-BOBO-BOBO!

That is the funniest show in existance. None can compare.

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:15 pm**

I second (third?) Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba&!; they're both great (though the latter is a manga)!

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:25 pm**

A good one that is just now coming out is Strawberry Marshmallow. I got a lot of laughs out of the first volume and it reminds me somewhat of Yotsuba!&.

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:28 pm**

Castle of Cagliostro is excellent as well; the only Lupin III movie I like.

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:42 pm**

Don't forget Nadesico, holmes. Good stuff, likeable characters, a little epic mecha action, and some very epic oldschool giant robot spoofs. if mecha's your thing, check it out!

PostPosted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:45 pm**

Hmm... Nadesico isn't really cheer you up... two very sad deaths, and the fate of the main characters is pretty depressing too... I mean, it's really funny, but it's like MASH... It gets very sad, too...

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, most definitely. I always feel uplifted after watching it.

Phil Hartman wrote:The original Gatekeepers series is another good cheer up title. It does have a few serious moments here and there that wane the overall cheery mood of the series (however, since it's an action title, that should obviously go without saying). For the most part, I felt that the characters made the show light-hearted and spirited, as well as the intended B-movie feeling of the atmosphere. Everything ends on a happy note for this series, so it should fit well with you wanting a good action cheer up.

Yeah... Just avoid the followup, Gatekeepers 2021... Very depressing... I don't know about Gatekeepers 198x, though... I'm not sure it's out yet, even...

Full metal Alchmist- has a lot funny moment, but it has a serious side too.

DEFINETLY not "cheer you up." Lots of deaths and disturbing bits and the anime ended up going downhill from what I've heard (ran off to much from the manga).

PostPosted: **Fri Jun 23, 2006 11:52 am**

Now and Then, Here and There... okay maybe not.

I'll have to agree with Azumanga Daioh and add Jubei-Chan. And I'm not sure if I should admit this... Snow Fairy Sugar can be a real pick up too...

excuse me while I go hide my shame in a dark broom closet.
