SYNOPSIS
Japan is not funny. This is a harsh truth many anime fans simply cannot bring themselves to accept. Perhaps some just cannot allow themselves to admit Japan is imperfect, or perhaps it’s because these terrible anime comedies properly pander to them in such a way that they giggle at non-jokes because said non-joke brought up their favorite show. Or maybe their sense of humor is just terrible. For whatever reason, this fact of life has spent far too long simply lingering in the room in the guise of a 500 pound gorilla. With that in mind, Max and Cody discuss a handful of particularly egregious examples, while also taking a look at those few flukes; the rare beast that is an anime comedy that’s roll-on-the-floor funny.
