Best 10 Baka Anime Recommended For You
5| Lucky☆Star
- Studios: Kyoto Animation
- Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy, Parody, School
- Episodes: 24
For those of you that prefer girls over delinquent high school boys we have another must-watch anime legend: Lucky☆Star.
The anime tells the story of Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa and Miyuki and what they experience in their daily lives. Every episode is a combination of a bunch of different things and situations happening, all held together by the four girls and their friendship.
There are a couple of things that make Lucky☆Star unique. It really does not care about a long or coherent storyline, so you will be thrown into random moments of these girl’s lives. But its main source of comedy are the amazingly accurate pop culture references between the scenes. The story of these charming girls definitely deserves some recognition.
4| Is This a Zombie?
- Studios: Studio Deen
- Genres: Action, Comedy, Ecchi, Harem, Magic, Supernatural
- Episodes: 12
Those of you that can only picture zombies as vicious monsters should take the time to watch our next recommendation.
High school boy Aikawa Ayumu really isn’t the luckiest guy. First, he gets killed by a crazy serial killer. Then he gets resurrected by a girl necromancer and has to work as her zombie slave. But if that wasn’t already enough, next he steals her Magical Girl powers by accident and has to fight all of her battles for her, a job that includes wearing a pink dress and an even pinker chainsaw. You think you are ready for this adventure?
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? has already earned recognition on multiple lists on this website and there is a reason for that. The storyline sounds as weird as it comes, but that doesn’t mean that the producers didn’t invest time and effort into the show. The anime makes sense in its own universe and the characters are so weird that they are charming again. This show is a true must-watch, especially for fans of Harem, Magical Girl and Fantasy stories.
3| Gintama
- Studios: Sunrise
- Genres: Action, Comedy, Historical, Parody, Samurai, Sci-Fi, Shounen
- Episodes: 201
We are moving into our Top 3 and what better show to start with than infamous and beloved Gintama?
This anime welcomes you into the world of ancient Japan, only set in a different universe. Meet freelancing samurai Gintoki Sakata who actually just wants to spend his days in peace, but needs to take on all different kinds of jobs to make a living. His daily adventures never get boring and it doesn’t take too long for him to meet the strangest and most entertaining characters.
It is pretty unlikely that most of you haven’t heard of Gintama yet so let me just name some of the reasons why this show is so great. It is unique and has something special to it while still being able to be loved by a big and diverse fanbase. The humor is universal and just plain hilarious as well as random enough at times for you to not take this show too serious. Gintama makes fun of so many other anime and shows so many pop culture references that it is hard not to fall in love with it.
2| Arakawa Under the Bridge
- Studios: Shaft
- Genres: Comedy, Romance, Seinen
- Episodes: 13
Do you ever walk across a bridge and wonder what’s going on underneath it? No? Me neither, but Arakawa Under the Bridge will still introduce you into the crazy world underneath a bridge.
The story begins with businessman Kou Ichinomiya being indebted to girl Nino who lives, you might have guessed it, underneath a bridge. His whole life revolves around the determination to never owe anything to anyone. In order to pay back the favor he promises to become Nino’s boyfriend – and move in under the bridge.
With Arakawa Under the Bridge we are slowly moving into a territory where you need to love completely weird storylines in order to appreciate the show. However, if you are ready to go on a crazy adventure and do not expect much logic or seriousness, Arakawa Under the Bridge will get you hooked like no other show. It is the perfect combination of being weird while still remaining entertaining and having an actual storyline. This show will cheer you up, no doubts about that.
1| Nichijou (My Ordinary Life)
- Studios: Kyoto Animation
- Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy, School, Shounen
- Episodes: 26
This anime can best be described as an everyday story set in an extraordinary universe. It is a School and Slice of Life show that will introduce you into the daily lives of a main cast that couldn’t be more special. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
It comes as no surprise that this show is part of our Top 10 list and even our top recommendation. Trying to describe just how charmingly weird Nichijou really is might be impossible, you have to experience this show for yourself to understand what the hype is about. Nichijou is easy-going, pure and so heartwarming while still being crazy enough to make you burst out laughing with almost every scene. Definitely give this little gem a try!
