I've watched quite a bit of anime but I've never seen one that simultaneously quenches my thirst for both killing and lulz. I'm looking for something as funny as Azumanga Daioh but with as much killing and badassery as Hellsing, No mecha though, I can't stand mecha. Any ideas?

hrmmm...

i can't really think of too many anime series that have a really good mix of badassery and laughs.

mezzo: dsa might be what you're looking for. it's got plenty of both.

dead leaves is one that gets mentioned a lot around here lately. still awesome.

trigun? sure, it's funny. does vash really count as a badass though? it's debatable...

I actually laughed my face off with Hellsing at times. I loved all the trash talking :D

But fuck, sorry, I really can't help you :(

He doesn't kill people, but his angel arm is pretty epic.

I couldn't find any of those on streaming sites and I can't torrent them because its not my computer. As for Trigun I've already seen it and it is a perfect example of what I'm looking for.

Trigun Only 4 eps left
IMO its really awesome and funny but it really depends on your tastes.


Naruto

Warning Highly addicted.

It has all the mixtures you require in an Anime and add to the fact thats its EPIC i mean 220 Episodes + 4 Huge Movies and now Another 64+ Eps Series.

How huge can you get.

I am right now at 103 Ep and i got Movie 1,2, 3,4 and yes i am a BIG fan right

Action, comedy and drama.

you sir are looking for Black Lagoon its a decent mix of both with a little less comedy than action or full metal alchemist

Haha, you haven't even hit the shitfest that ruined this once worthy series.

Hmmm, Cheeky Angel comes to mind. It's pretty funny, and has a fair amount of badass fightage, not really blood/gore if you're looking for that though, just lots of beating the holy snot out of people.

Even though it's mostly mecha, try Guuren Lagann. It starts out silly and humorous, but then seriouses the fuck up.

Alright I just thought of this one. Desert Punk. It's about a perverted mercenary, and the adventures that he goes through in the open desert. I thought this was one of the most hilarious anime I've ever seen, and the action isn't half bad either.

just wait until the later episodes. you will change your opinion.

Around about what episode?

I got to the bit where they try to cross the lake then kinda gave up...

Is it worth continuing? I mean, it's ok, but I just didn't really have the time, and I have Lain and Paranoia Agent to watch.

Stop mentioning naruto! I swear to god I'll shank you.

I left it uncapitalised to stress my distaste.

*slaps forehead*

i forgot all about desert punk. that's probly exactly what the op needs.

that one had me rolling on the floor from the first episode. all them decoys going "your mother's a dirty whoooore your mother's a dirty whoooore!!" :D

I think the filler starts around episode 137, some episodes of it are ok but nearly all aren't worth your bandwidth. Skip to the end of episode 220 and then move on to Shippuden, although lately its been all filler :(

Basically watch until the Naruto Sauske fight is over.

Gintama is a good action comedy. It doesn't really have that much killing or badassery though.

desert punk probably would fit the OP the best.

I definitely recommend Cowboy Bebop. Its hilarious and Spike is a badass :)

Samurai Champloo.

desert punk probably would fit the OP the best.
Hell Yeah! Some one agrees with me!

And remember kids, a smart man knows when it's time to RUN LIKE A LITTLE BITCH!

How many episodes are in Desert Punk? I think I mght check that out.

25 or 26. It's pretty short.

Well I mainly asked that so I know I'm getting a good torrent

Full Metal Panic; it gets alot more interesting after the first season.

Revvy, as the one who recommended you Code Geass, I HIGHLY recommend you Gurren Lagan. It gets REAL good after episode 7 or so. The ending is nothing short of epic.
