Even though it seems like common sense that a manga will always be superior in some way to its anime adaptation (or at least that’s what manga fans will tell you), sometimes the anime adds a new spin to the story that it was sorely lacking before. So today, we’ll be talking about some of our favorite funny moments from popular anime that were either expanded from the original manga or were created from the whole cloth for the adaptation. Let’s get started!
Even though Shinra is the teenage protagonist of a big shounen anime, he doesn’t really act like it. He’s levelheaded, works well with his team, and (most amazingly of all) is properly suspicious of shifty characters who have a reason to lie to him. He’s still naïve in many ways, particularly when it comes to underestimating his opponents in battle, but we can’t deny that it’s refreshing to see a shounen protagonist who doesn’t blindly trust everyone he meets, only to be shocked when they betray him.
Maki stands out among other seasonal anime girls by having a jacked physique that most of us could only dream of. Due to her training as a Tokyo Army soldier, she can easily lift heavy objects that give grown men pause and can beat down two third-generation pyrokinetics in a fistfight. Unfortunately, she has a bit of a complex about her figure, not believing herself to be as feminine as the curvier Iris and Hibana. Don’t worry, Maki—you’re perfect just the way you are!
In contrast to Shinra and the rest of Company 8’s relatively simple character designs, Princess Hibana looks like she just walked off a Paris runway. Her firefighter jacket is custom trimmed with fur and fits closely to her body, and the white dress she wears underneath is more suitable for a cocktail party than a battleground. She even has flower patterns in her eyes! She definitely wouldn’t fit in at an actual fire scene, but she’s perfect as an over-the-top anime character.
Kinema Citrus’ 2017 anime adaptation of Made in Abyss is widely considered to be among the best shows of that year, as well as one of the best pure fantasy anime to come out in recent memory. But have you ever sat down to read the web manga on which it’s based? Akihito Tsukushi’s manga has been in continuous publication since 2012 and has reached 52 chapters in length, only 24 of which the anime has covered so far. Let’s delve deeper into this story to see what treasures we can unearth—this is why you NEED to read Made in Abyss!
Every generation of Pokémon brings with it some hilarious creature designs: Dunsparce, Stunfisk, Goomy, Alolan Exeggutor... and generation 8 certainly doesn’t disappoint in that aspect.

Let’s take a look at the 5 funniest generation 8 Pokémon we can’t wait to catch!
