So... yeah. Just something easy, funny if possible. Nothing to overly... japanish...

Ghost In The Shell, because fuck y'all.

Also I just realised that you're asking for a japanimation that isn't 'too Japanese'. Good stuff, bro, good stuff.

Watch this video. Then watch the rest of the series. It is not funny, but it breaks up scenes with humour now and again.


The first five episodes are available free dubbed on Youtube through Funimation. The rest, you're on your own.

If not, Neon Genesis Evangelion. That is not funny, either.

Funny... but not too Japanish... hmmmm... I'll just go with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya then, that's pretty funny and although it is a bit "Japanish", it's still my best recommendation.

No really, this is pretty much /thread

You may also want to try The World God Only Knows, Angel Beats and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. All excellent gateway anime.

I never watched anime (except Pokemon as a kid) until 2 weeks ago, when I started watching Azumanga Daioh. It's very funny and weirdly disjointed. It's better with subtitles, but the English dub voice actors are actually pretty good.

I've also watched a couple episodes of Soul Eater, it's a good "fight anime" and pretty funny as well.

Thanks for reminding me that I still need to watch Ika Musume.

I want to say Azumanga Daioh, but I don't know if that counts as too "Japanish." Don't know if slice of life schoolgirl comedy appeals to you.

an easy and funny first time anime? Buso Renkin? as I recall it's fairly funny and it's only 26 eps or so. It's one of my fav all time anime but I haven't seen it in a while.

Gotta go with a couple people above me and say Bebop again. Everybody likes that show, I've yet to find one who doesn't.
