I've watched quite a bit of anime but I've never seen one that simultaneously quenches my thirst for both killing and lulz. I'm looking for something as funny as Azumanga Daioh but with as much killing and badassery as Hellsing, No mecha though, I can't stand mecha. Any ideas?

hrmmm...

i can't really think of too many anime series that have a really good mix of badassery and laughs.

mezzo: dsa might be what you're looking for. it's got plenty of both.

dead leaves is one that gets mentioned a lot around here lately. still awesome.

trigun? sure, it's funny. does vash really count as a badass though? it's debatable...

I actually laughed my face off with Hellsing at times. I loved all the trash talking :D

But fuck, sorry, I really can't help you :(

He doesn't kill people, but his angel arm is pretty epic.

I couldn't find any of those on streaming sites and I can't torrent them because its not my computer. As for Trigun I've already seen it and it is a perfect example of what I'm looking for.

IMO its really awesome and funny but it really depends on your tastes.


Naruto

Warning Highly addicted.

It has all the mixtures you require in an Anime and add to the fact thats its EPIC i mean 220 Episodes + 4 Huge Movies and now Another 64+ Eps Series.

How huge can you get.

I am right now at 103 Ep and i got Movie 1,2, 3,4 and yes i am a BIG fan right

Action, comedy and drama.

Haha, you haven't even hit the shitfest that ruined this once worthy series.

Hmmm, Cheeky Angel comes to mind. It's pretty funny, and has a fair amount of badass fightage, not really blood/gore if you're looking for that though, just lots of beating the holy snot out of people.

Even though it's mostly mecha, try Guuren Lagann. It starts out silly and humorous, but then seriouses the fuck up.

Alright I just thought of this one. Desert Punk. It's about a perverted mercenary, and the adventures that he goes through in the open desert. I thought this was one of the most hilarious anime I've ever seen, and the action isn't half bad either.

Around about what episode?

I got to the bit where they try to cross the lake then kinda gave up...

Is it worth continuing? I mean, it's ok, but I just didn't really have the time, and I have Lain and Paranoia Agent to watch.

I think the filler starts around episode 137, some episodes of it are ok but nearly all aren't worth your bandwidth. Skip to the end of episode 220 and then move on to Shippuden, although lately its been all filler :(

Basically watch until the Naruto Sauske fight is over.

Gintama is a good action comedy. It doesn't really have that much killing or badassery though.

Alright I just thought of this one. Desert Punk. It's about a perverted mercenary, and the adventures that he goes through in the open desert. I thought this was one of the most hilarious anime I've ever seen, and the action isn't half bad either.

desert punk probably would fit the OP the best.

Full Metal Panic; it gets alot more interesting after the first season.

Revvy, as the one who recommended you Code Geass, I HIGHLY recommend you Gurren Lagan. It gets REAL good after episode 7 or so. The ending is nothing short of epic.
