It’s been just about a year since the pandemic forced large events like anime conventions to shut down indefinitely, and by now we’re feeling that con-fever more than ever. So while we wait for the world to go back to normal, we have to wonder – when conventions do eventually come back, what will be the hot new cosplays to spot? Which 2020 anime and video game characters will stick in the popular consciousness long enough to have fans dress up as them? Here are our speculations and theories!
So 2020 wasn’t all bad – well, it was... but having an abundance of genuinely hilarious comedy anime to take the edge off certainly helped a bit. They run the gamut of genres: dark absurdism, workplace/family sitcom, educational, reverse harem, and borderline hentai, but all of them kept up our spirits through the hard times and provided some top-tier reaction gifs that we’ll treasure forever. These are the five best comedy anime of 2020!
With the Fall 2020 anime season now in full swing, it’s time to take a look back at Summer 2020’s finest moments. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the scenes that made us laugh the most this past season – we’ve got rap battles, slapstick comedy, drinking contests, horribly cast plays, and much more. Let’s get started!
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out is a fun little slice-of-life show from Summer 2020 about how a loner college student named Sakurai learns to enjoy life a little more thanks to the unsolicited help of his peppy and somewhat obnoxious junior Uzaki.
Have you been watching Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out this season? It’s a fun show about a loner college student named Sakurai and his obnoxious, but well-meaning kouhai Uzaki who makes it her personal mission to get him to enjoy life a little more. Nothing particularly original here, but the comedic antics are entertaining and the dynamic between Sakurai and Uzaki is much more genuinely sweet than you might expect it to be. Still, is that really enough to make it the fourth most watched anime (besides sequels) on MyAnimeList for all of Summer 2020? Sure, the pandemic means that there isn’t much competition right now, but how did it manage to get so much attention?
The summer 2020 anime season’s surprise hit Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out is all about how a loner college student named Sakurai gets his life turned upside down by his energetic kouhai Uzaki. Uzaki is a classic “manic pixie dream girl” – a term coined in 2007 by film critic Nathan Rabin that refers to boisterous female characters whose only purpose in the story is to give a sad-sack male protagonist a new lease on life through wacky antics and bright smiles. One of the most prominent anime examples in recent memory is, of course, Haruhi from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
