    I think Nozaki-kun might be my favorite comedy manga, period. Haven't checked out the anime, though.

    edit: For something with more of a structured plot and some drama, Oresama Teacher by the same mangaka is also quite funny.

    Delicious in Dungeon or Dungeon Meshi is a hilarious manga if you’re into that

    Man, Excel Saga, I haven’t seen that in an age. I wonder if it holds up in the slightest.

    Also I started Demon Slayer and am up to episode 7 and hey this show is pretty good.

    Junji Ito stuff isn't actually scary to me in the way things are usually scary.

    It just makes me feel really bad.

    I think his stuff is more weird and ominous than out and out scary.

    Which is okay and can be enjoyable in itself.

    I recall there is a point where I think Rachel gets a concussion and temporary amnesia and wakes up in a halfway state between human and animal forms

    Daily Lives of High School Boys

    Then probably its spiritual successor, Wasteful Lives of High School Girls

    Wasteful Lives of High School Girls has probably the best teacher an anime high school could ask for.

    Mostly what I remember from Animorphs is the extremely vivid descriptions of the characters bodies horrifyingly contorting as they transform into animals.

    I have watched Demon Slayer up to episode 19, and I would like to reiterate the previous posters' assertion that telling people to just skip to that episode and enjoy the pretty animation is just, the worst advice

    I'm SO GLAD I didn't take that advice!

    EVERYBODY MISINTERPRETED THAT POST.

    the series ending was good

    it was about a bunch of children suffering ptsd after surviving a violent galaxy-spanning war

    You know I really need a good comedy anime.

    I think the last one I honestly enjoyed was School Rumble and that was ages ago.

    Demon Slayer ep 10/11:
    I enjoyed the spontaneous lethal league match between Nezuko and that demon lady. I also love the idea that Dracula’s biggest fear is unionization.
    I thought having a crow familiar would be cool at first but at this point I’m tired of the yelling. Speaking of being tired of yelling, Jesus Zenitsu

    Zenitsu is a character of brief very high highs and prolonged low lows. I hope that they level those lows out some going forward

    I find it absolutely amazing that Junji Ito even knows what animorphs is. How?

    Because he was asked about it at a panel and they had example covers.

    The cliffhanger was a bit annoying, though I sort of get it thematically.
