Since there is already a "saddest jdrama" thread, I think a thread like this should be okay too.

What are the funniest jdrama you have watched? They can be clever or silly, but they've made you laugh a lot.

I can recommend these:

Nodame Cantabile
Mirai Koshi Meguru
Anna-san no Omame

What about you?

[mangomalte]

i have only watched about 16 series and most of them haven't been the comedy type... but i thought Galcir was damn funny.

[GordieHowe]

I haven't watched many and haven't really been looking for comedies. The funniest I've watched is probably HanaKimi.

[Azagrath]

HanaKimi was great.
I recently marathoned Hotaru no Hikari, which was awesome. Ayase Haruka was so funny in this one. Highly recommended!
Hana Yori Dango has some great moments as well, even though it's not really a laugh-out-loud type series.

[MTSayuRin]

Out of those mentioned I've only seen Hana Yori Dango, and I agree, it has very funny moments too. As a person interested in languages, I appreciate the language based humor there. (I watched it about a year ago though, so I don't really remember details, I'll probably rewatch it one day.)

After Sekai no Chuushin and (especially) Byakuyakou, I guess it'd be refreshing to see the funny side of Haruka Ayase...

Oh, and thanks for your replies everyone, this thread will be useful when I need something fun to watch.

[drahzaar]

i dunno ive really only seen 1 comedy and it was Haken no Hinkaku last year, the main Haken is hilarious! and Ai Kato looks great

[chr0nik©]

Densha Otoko?

[suaracheerios]

Stand Up! was funny! Haven't finished it yet but it has a lot of laughing for sure. Going to add pressure in suggesting HanaKimi, not only is it funny but super cute too~. Ohhhhh, I've also been watching Zettai Kareshi, majorly cute and funny also.

ATTENTION PLEASE! I just remembered it right now. This one has got to be my favorite and it's Aya Ueto!

[Asp]

So nobody even mentions My Boss My Hero??? That one was funny

I also liked Kekkon Dekinai Otoko but it has a different kind of humour

[MTSayuRin]

ATTENTION PLEASE! I just remembered it right now. This one has got to be my favorite and it's Aya Ueto!

Attention Please was my first dorama, it really is nice. (But was it funny too? Yeah, most likely it was, I already start forgetting my first ones... At first I thought, I would never rewatch a series, but now there are many that I could watch a second time.)

[Tsuchinoko]

Nodame Cantabile
My Boss My Hero

My Top Comedy j-doramas hehehe

[suaracheerios]

But was it funny too?

Definitely! I think I laughed out loud at least once every episode, and even got my mom hooked to it.
I never thought I'd want to rewatch a series again either, but reminiscing about them makes me want to soon.

Shimokita Sundays starring Aya Ueto! very funny and very inspiration too!



And I agree with cheerios! Attention Please! is very fine and very funny! Aya Ueto is queen of TV comedy! I ordered DVD for Abarenbo Mama too!

[kazuma2387]

I totally agree, My Boss My Hero and Kekkon Dekinai Otoko are the two funniest dramas ive seen, if you havent seen them you should

I recently finished watching 9 episode series Shimokita Sundays starring Aya Ueto, and easy to understand why she is so popular for comedy series actress!

Ueto plays role of Yuika Satonaka, she is beginning university student, daughter of two biological scientists who live in country prefecture. Yuika comes to Tokyo to attend prestigious Chiba University, but she is not so much interested in her studies or her life. She becomes inspired when she sees a surprise performance by some unsuccessful acting group from Shimokita which is kind of experimental theater district of Tokyo, and she makes audition to join with them! With her silly help, this acting group begins to realize their dreams!

This series is very funny, also serious about different ways to understand and find personal goals and dreams. I very much recommend this series, which is available in typical Silent Regrets and d-addicts with subtitles. I actually purchased this series in eBay because I want to keep and watch several times in my life! Of course Aya Ueto is very fine actress in this series, funny and serious together, and all cast is very very fine too!

[MTSayuRin]

^ That sounds interesting, and I really want to see more Aya Ueto! I will definitely give it a try a bit later. So many good suggestions here already, keep them coming.
