Fall of 2019 in anime had one too many hilarious moments for us to handle. From subtle moments of hilarity to those outright "what is happening" moments, this season boasted them all. You may even give your abs a good workout with all the laughing that is sure to ensue.
Even in the most horrifying of anime, there shines a moment of comedic relief. Whether it's a display of situational irony, promiscuous insinuations, lurid moments, outrageous ideals, or fulfilling a dare, see how the anime of fall 2019 ranked in terms of funniest moments.
10 Ahiru No Sora
Ahiru no Sora is a basketball anime where high school protagonist Sora Kurumatani promised his mother to win his first tournament. Now in high school, Sora quickly learns that the basketball club is full of delinquents that will do anything besides play the sport.
Although this anime focuses on basketball, it also features extreme hilarity. One such moment occurs when Chiaki Hanazono extends a pole with a hook on the end through an opening at the bottom of a wall in order to snatch a bra that's been discarded on the floor in the girl's changing room. When he's unable to accomplish his goal, Chiaki abandons his task. The girls come back, leaving it up to Sora to retrieve the pole before getting caught.
9 Welcome To Demon School, Iruma-kun
Iruma-kun was sold by his parents to a demon that's the headmaster of Babyls - a school for demons. As an adopted grandson to the headmaster, Iruma attends the school with the condition that he never reveals that he's a human. It's here that fun adventures await him.
Iruma's friend Clara Valac is head over heels for him, but he doesn't notice her feelings one bit. In assessing sex appeal, Clara measures at a mere 2%. With this, she earnestly studies how women appeal to men in an effort to gain Iruma's attention; however, each tactic backfires and ends up in a hilarious disaster on Clara's part. This makes it easy to laugh at her antics while cheering her on in equal measure.
8 We Never Learn: BOKUBEN
We Never Learn follows scholarship student Nariyuki Yuiga in his appointed position of tutoring the school's most genius students in their areas of weakness. This task comes as a stipulation with his scholarship, so he has no choice but to tutor the three girls assigned to him: Rizu Ogata - math genius; Fumino Furuhashi - literature guru; and Uruka Takemoto - his childhood friend and sports connoisseur.
The awesome part is the shenanigans this group unintentionally gets into. One hilarious situation occurs when Yuiga gifts Furuhashi with a bra for her birthday. The next day finds Furuhashi wearing the bra accompanied by an internal monologue on how the cups are a bit big for her, but otherwise, it fits. He asks her if it's comfortable, but little does he know it's not the gift he initially intended for her, but something much more scandalous—a classic gift mix-up.
7 Ascendance Of A Bookworm
In Ascendance of a Bookworm, Main is reincarnated into a world where paper is a rare commodity and books are for the church or nobles. In her past life, Main lived for books. She indulged in reading anything and everything, but how will she get her fix in this new world? Her answer is to make paper herself and then write her own stories down.
Main relies on her memories and begins by referencing how earlier civilizations made paper, such as papyrus in Egypt, or how in Mesopotamia they wrote on clay tablets. It's funny how Main sets out to create paper from papyrus, only to realize how much of a pain it is. She concedes and focuses her attention on the next technique civilization used for writing thoughts down.
6 High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World
Seven high school students dominate the world with their abilities. During a flight with all of them gathered, they crash into another world. They begin searching for a way to return home, but during the process, they become caught up in the world's injustices and treatment of the people.
One of the seven is a Shinobu - a ninja- journalist that uses her abilities to get the scoop on the latest scandals. In this new environment, she uses her skills to gather information and scope out the enemy. During one of her missions, Chiyoyu drinks to her heart's content, downing the offered alcohol and hospitality. When she's alone with her companion, she uses her mischevious nature to kiss him, which effectively relieves them both of their drunken stupors.
5 Didn't I Say To Make My Abilities In The Next Life Average?!
Time and again, Mile is distracted by an issue that forever weighs on her mind: the size of her chest! She's 12 years old, so it's normal to not be fully grown; however, for Mile's reincarnated-self, she's thinking about her previous life as a high-schooler.
Every time a person mentions anything about chests or looks in that general direction, Mile summons up her more than average abilities to strike them down. This point of contention within Mile is at odds with her age and overall happy-go-lucky demeanor, which makes for a variety of hilarious encounters.
4 Fire Force
Fire Force is one of the more serious anime of the quarter, but it does have its moments of comic relief. The creepy smile Shinra gives when he's nervous is enough to laugh at, but there are other -more notable- areas of hilarity.
One such moment occurs when Shinra and Arthur are sent to train at the 1st cathedral - the best out of the forces. It's here that they encounter a man that speaks in near riddles. It doesn't bother Shinra one bit since he's able to work out the logic behind the sayings, but Arthur is a different story as he readies himself to attack.
3 ORESUKI Are You The Only One Who Loves Me?
Falling in love is one thing, confessing to said person of affection is quite another. This anime is a barrel of misunderstandings as Amatsuyu "Joro" Kisaragi attempts to advise and guide two girls in their love with his best friend. In a scheme full of lies and traps, five students must navigate through feelings and messy situations if they plan to gain their heart's desires.
A hilarious situation ensues from this premise as Joro is faced with two dates, in which both girls confess to him about their love for his friend Taiyou "Sun-chan" Ooga. The funniest part, there's a bench that appears wherein these confessions take place. It's a bench that pops up, no matter the location.
2 Dr. Stone
Rebuilding one's life is hard enough, but think of what it must be like to begin a whole civilization anew. With humanity turned to stone, one scientist-crazed man must work with his knowledge in order to restore the world as he once knew it. Antics ensue as Senku gathers comrades and demonstrates the powers of science.
In this hilarious moment, Senku is on the hunt for ammonia. When the subject of ammonia is questioned, it cuts to Senku and Chrome peeing into a container and Kohaku freaking out over the ordeal. Her menacing question to if they'll force Ruri-nee to drink said pee leads to them saying no way.
1 Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered But Overly Cautious
This hero takes the cake for hilarious moments. Not an episode goes by that protagonist Seiya doesn't exert extreme caution, which goes overboard to the point of hilarity. It's made even funnier by his intense expressions and deadpan seriousness to each and every situation. Put simply; nothing is to be trusted.
As the whole premise of the show is comedic, it's hard to pick just one funny moment. However, one such moment arrives when Seiya begins his training with The Devine Blade Cerceus. As the days pass, it's not Seiya that's being trained, its Cerceus. In fact, this training is so intense, that it has The Divine Blade hiding in fear of Seiya and losing his confidence. Seiya, however, sees no problem with this and continues his self-improvement regimen.
