Durarara comes close at the top of my head, I wouldn't say it is seamless though.
It makes the good stuff that much sweeter. Plus I just don't like dropping titles halfway through.
one more Boogiepop arc to get through.........
Durarara is a good thought.
My first thought was Full Metal Panic. Though fair warning, I did a recent rewatch of it, and the first season definitely loves its panty shots :/
I feel like Gurren Lagann has a decent amount of comedy to go with the action, but it too would have an ecchi warning.
I suppose one punch man is comedy action. It might be the closest to what you are looking for but I don't know if any of them are what you are looking for.
I always feel like everyone has their own process and time for satiating their curiosity with various media until they realize something is not worth their time later on, eventually being able to identify qualities that won't appeal to them early on.
Also the vast majority of stuff I watch is 13-26 episodes so it's not exactly a huge time sink to just finish it
I've watched some of those and they're not really what I was looking for as they fall more on the "action show with comedic elements" spectrum rather than blending both together. I'll give FMP a whirl since that's the only one I'm not familiar with.
Dororo 15
Man what happened? The direction of the episode was so damn weird and jarring. I am thinking lack of production but the episode reminded me a lot of how Yuasa does his anime (though this didn't come close to them in quality). Could have been a really great episode if it wasn't for the weird animation.
Plotwise I am all in. Seems next episode will have some more confrontation with Hyakemaru's family which is my favourite part of Dororo. I just hope the next episodes are better.
Feels like the anime started becoming worse after the OP and end changed.
Now it is time for me to start watching A Place Further Than The Universe. I have been wanting to start watching it for a while now but never do. This time I will succeed.

The only show that comes to mind with that kind of comedy on a consistent basis is Trigun. Vash the Stampede definitely feels directly inspired by Jackie Chan as a bumbling baffoon who hides his incredible skill behind his wacky physical comedy.
Wow. I guess BLack Clover brought out the A+ team for the final moments of this episode. Cant stop rewatching.
A Place Further Than The Universe 1-2
I can already see why this is so highly rated. Episodes went by in flash and the characters are fun and enjoyable to watch, it also looks stunning.
I really liked episode 2, particulary the Kabukichō part (or as I am most familiar with it in the Yakuza series, "Kamurocho"). I was expecting Kiryu to pop out and give the girls some life leasons in true Yakuza Sub Story fashion.
If anybody still hasn't watched it then I recommend you to drop everything and watch it. I am not even done with it and it feels like it will be one of the best animes I have ever watched.

I would flip my fucking lid if Kiryu just started appearing in random anime or Majima popped out of a garbage bin
Haha would be an amazing thing to witnesses.
Especially if Majima popped up in the background to stage an ambush for Kiryu so we see it happen while the main characters are talking about some random stuff.
Yakuza needs to be in everything.
the majima everywhere system extending out into other games is the only logical conclusion
can't wait for majima in smash
If anybody from Yakuza come to Smash then it should definetly be Majima. He fits in everything:
They really need to make another PXZ.
Sarazanmai #02
A bit late to the party here, but re: criticisms of the fights being pointless/stale, don't Ikuni's first acts always play out like this? Premiere where you have absolutely no idea what's happening, then a run of several episodes that start establishing rhythm and pushing its characters forward, and then the real thematic meat hits. I remember being similarly baffled by Penguindrum #02 and Yurikuma #02, at the very least.

Ace of Diamond Act II Episode 4
So hard not being able to say anything after this episode (definitely felt more powerful and emotional than it was in the manga). My Sawamura.
Also was sad for Haruichi here, and Kanemaru as well. Kawakami should have had some screentime as well, he had to be feeling it as much as Eijun kun.
Wolfboy Okumura incoming though, my hype levels are through the roof! Ive been waiting for you for so long!

The "A+ team" is the series director himself, heh.
mitsudomoe, just remember to skip the second half of the first ep
I've been watching the show on and off for a couple years now and I really enjoy it in spurts.
BTW, you're about to hit a couple awesome arcs.
Fairy Tail is cheesy shounen fun to the max and at it's high points it's heartfelt and amazing.
It is only two episodes but watch Angel Dentetsu. It is one of the funniest animes I have ever watched.
It is about a sweet boy who has a creepy face so it gets him into trouble. It is basically "misunderstanding" the anime.
If you don't mind a little fan servicee:
- Konosuba
- B Gata H Kai
- Panty & Stalking
Just funny, pretty clean:
- Sabagebu!
- School Rumble
- My Wife is a Mermaid
- Barakamon (This is more SoL, but is really funny at times)
Demon Slayer 03
Now I just need to grit my teeth for when they're doing the Hunter Exam and then maybe something interesting will happen.
But the way they dealt with the sister I find pretty hilarious. 2 years over which the story didn't need her so she just fell asleep ? Is she going to wake up right when mc gets his badge too ?
It's one of the biggest S1 to S2 improvements I can think of. Worth a watch.

But where else am I supposed to get my fill of deconstruction of shounen genre.
All those recs and yet no Nichijou. Shamefurrr dispray. Also Arakawa Under the Bridge & D-Frag. The latter is not particularly exciting from the technical side though.

As Phaze says, Nichijou needs to be mentioned. Also, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei!
You're wrong, but I'll let you be wrong this time only because you mentioned Daily Lives of High School Boys earlier.
One Punch Man S2 03
It looked better than the last episode at least? they get an A for effort.
