31. Gabriel DropOut
https://myanimelist.net/anime/33731/Gabriel_DropOut

Gabriel DropOut is an anime that utilizes the gimmick for each of its main characters to produce a top level comedy. Gabriel was the top angel of her class but when she is sent down to earth after graduating heaven school or whatever she becomes addicted to video games and her life laziness begins. Now as someone who can't be assed to help anyone what type of situations await her?

The anime has 4 main characters Gabriel the lazy one, Santania "evil" one, Vignette the nice one, and Raphiel the sadistic one. Each of them stick pretty much on point with their character type but that's what leads to most of the funny moments in the show. IMO Gabriel Dropout has potentially the best overall cast for a comedy anime in terms of making the show funny that has been on this list (rivaled by Konosuba). Personally I like all four characters but Santania has most of the best scenes.

This being a comedy anime there's no real story just the character interactions and comedy skits. The anime is consistently funny with some scenes like the locker one being next level It does seem to jump around a bit and some parts you want to see more of or situations that seem like they could go on to something great just don't get finished, but it's more forgivable since the shows a comedy.

I'm not even sure which of the girls I like the best. Honestly I think Satania is the best in the show, but Vignette is probably the waifu choice.

30. Kiss Him Not Me
https://myanimelist.net/anime/32899/Watashi_ga_Motete_Dousunda

Kiss Him Not Me is a reverse harem comedy. Kae has often been the fat girl at school and so she often kept her fujoshi to herself quite easily since no one paid attention to her. However, when she loses weight at an unprecedented rate she sees it as an opportunity to get closer to the guys in her class, also the ones who she's been pairing up in her mind.

This anime is less a BL anime and more one that makes fun of it. Kae is absolutely crazy and in a way a counterpart to a lot of male "otaku" you see in shows. She even has a husbando which leads to some pretty great parts. The guys in the show are typical shoujo males however and besides doing things like settling their differences for the greater good a bit later on they are not that interesting.

Comedy is where the show shines though. I mean the reason why she lost weight in the first place is already funny and that she is consistently shipping the same guys that are vying for her affection also leads to more funny moments. For a while it's at a point where she is pretty much oblivious to their feelings. While in a lot of other contexts (notably normal harems) this is pretty annoying but KHNM manages to make it a gateway for more comedy. The anime also has a multitude of various references often due to that the main character is heavily invested into the 2D world.

I'll be honest when I say this is a title that is not for everyone and not for a new anime viewer, but a show that should be a hit with the correct demographic and then some.
