Ippo might be what you're looking for, if you haven't already given it a shot. Comedy option: Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro.

Meguru is really loving good though so if you're going to use it as a standard then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. If more sports manga was like Meguru then I would have read an assload of sports manga.

Ippo isn't bad as a whole (and gets worse later on; the anime covers when it was still good) and has some extremely great moments which are excellent in motion - you should watch it.

I'm looking for short, good OVAs and movies from the 80's and 90's, along the lines of Cyber City Oedo (GorfZaplen I understand your avatar now), Devilman, Grey, that are dubbed, heavy on the violence, not too heavy on the T&A. I'm doing an "old weird anime nite" and I want to go in as fresh as my friends.

How's Baoh?

I bounced off Psycho-pass hard (e: dammit too much hard bouncing on this page). But I've never seen anyone else dislike it. Maybe I was in the wrong mood.

I have definitely enjoyed movies I initially hated after approaching them again with a different disposition.

Are there any good comedic or lighthearted shows like Konosuba or The Devil is a Part-Timer that came out in the past few years I should watch?

Mostly anime. But I don't mind manga recommendations if you have something cool in mind. (everything by Urasawa is obviously great)

quote:

Route End
Due to a harsh experience in life, Haruno eventually becomes a cleaning specialist in the field of clearing the remnants of the deceased.
After a particular day, Haruno becomes involved in the curious case of 'END'.
-ongoing; main character is a civilian working w/police to catch a serial killer; I'm following this one and it's been pretty interesting so far, starting to get a bit weird

Shibatora
Officer Shibata Taketora works in a local koban (a small police office). He may have a child-like face on the outside, but he's more serious than anyone in his pursuit of justice! With his goal being to become a detective, Taketora confronts everyday problems that happen within the town! Various incidents within the street make him chase after and apprehend criminals!
-a must-read if you like cop manga

Switch
Etou Kai may look like a squeaky-clean kid, but the Greater Kanto Narcotics Control Division's new investigator hides a violent alter ego and a dangerous past.
With his stoic partner Kurabayashi Hal, Kai is assigned to track down and stop the distribution of Dragon Speed, a dangerous new drug. But Ryuugen, the syndicate trafficking the drug, is almost impossible to infiltrate. Add street violence and a jurisdiction war with the Meguro Police into the mix, and it looks like Kai's in for some very long days at the office.
-kinda meh tbh; it also has a short anime adaption; it's mostly interesting for being one of the few police procedural manga I've run across but it falls pretty low on my list and this is less a recommendation and more just "this is a thing that exists"

Himitsu
It's the 2060's, and Japan has perfected "The MRI System," a piece of neurotechnology that, when given the brain of a person who died within the past 48 hours, can analyse the visual memories contained within; even being able to give scientists a look into what the deceased saw in their final moments. Needless to say, this is a highly regarded - and greatly feared - method that has been placed under stringent restrictions and is only authorised for use by a special police unit, Section Nine, for the investigation of baffling or high-profile crimes.
Aoki Ikkou is a talented newbie who has just been assigned to Section Nine. He initially has qualms about delving into people's most private moments and analysing their darkest fears and fantasies, but as he settles in with his teammates and warms up to his boss, the highly intelligent Maki Tsuyoshi, he becomes more and more competent at his job.
Though quick to develop pride in his career, Aoki still struggles to balance his family relationships and love life with his demanding workload, further complicated when he's drawn into the dark past and murky circumstances surrounding the outwardly cool and self-controlled but internally tormented Maki.
-sci-fi but limited to the MRI thing; translation is ongoing & VERY slow but approx. 3/4 of it is translated; there's an anime adaption but having watched part of it you're probably better off just reading the manga

Border
On her first day as a police academy trainee, Haruna is assigned to keep an eye on Ishikawa Ango, a driven and resourceful detective who has recently survived a gunshot wound to the head. What Haruna doesn't know is that the incident has given Ishikawa the ability to see and communicate with spirits of the victims, making him even more determined to use his special ability to catch culprits.
-some supernatural elements since the guy sees ghosts but he has to work within the scope of his investigation so it's fairly grounded; ongoing but there are several full case arcs translated. This one reminds me a little of that tv show Touching Evil but with actual ghosts

Gangsta (the anime, haven't checked the manga) got really bad by the end.

Has the manga returned? I heard that the author had a disease or something.

Is the dub for this one any good? Really in the mood for vampires right now

I just binge read Grand Blue over a day and watched the anime over another. Are there other series about whacky university hijinks out there? Seems most stuff is high-school-based.
