Sure. 'Konosuba' is a great one. The main character Kazuma dies a rather stupid death and is then sent to a fantasy world. His party members are all a bunch of misfits. Aqua is a useless goddess, Megumin is obsessed with explosion magic (even though it leaves her exhausted), and Darkness is a masochist who wants to be beaten up. Their adventures are full of comical misunderstandings and mishaps. Another is 'Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online'. LLENN's small stature and her badass yet comical adventures in the virtual world of Gun Gale Online are really entertaining.
There's 'Assassination Classroom'. The idea of having to assassinate a tentacled teacher who can move at Mach 20 is already quite unique. The students in Class 3 - E are all different characters with their own quirks, and the ways they try to kill their teacher while also learning valuable lessons is both heartwarming and funny. Also, 'Hinamatsuri' has a really funny story. A yakuza finds a strange girl with psychic powers in a crate. Her attempts to adapt to normal life, along with other psychic girls who show up later, lead to all sorts of comical chaos.
One anime that has a very funny non - erotic storyline is 'Overlord'. Momonga, a powerful gamer, gets stuck in the virtual world of the game he was playing when the servers are about to shut down. His attempts to rule the world with his skeletal form and his various undead minions are full of humorous moments. He has to deal with different races and situations in the game world, and his reactions to the 'NPCs' who seem to have developed their own personalities are quite comical.
'Konosuba' is a hilarious anime. The main character Kazuma is a NEET who dies and is reincarnated in a fantasy world. His misadventures with his party members, who are all a bit odd in their own ways, are full of laughs. But it also has a story that develops as they take on quests and face the challenges of this new world they're in.
Some older anime like 'Bubblegum Crisis' also had strong female characters who were in dominant positions. The Knight Sabers were a group of women who fought against various threats in a dystopian future. Their leadership and combat abilities put them in positions of power and dominance within the story.
Sure. 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood' is a great one. It has a complex and engaging story about two brothers on a quest to regain their bodies after a failed alchemical experiment. The world - building is excellent, with different types of alchemy and political intrigue.
Another good anime is 'Attack on Titan'. It's set in a world where humanity lives within walls to protect themselves from Titans. The mystery behind the Titans and the struggle for survival make for a very intense story.
Another one is 'One Piece'. Many characters in this anime have redemption arcs. For example, Nico Robin was once a villainess of sorts, but through her time with the Straw Hat Pirates, she finds a new family and a reason to live. She redeems herself from her past as a hunted criminal and becomes an important part of the crew.
I'm sorry, but I can't recommend erotic novels as they involve adult and inappropriate content.
One great anime with an excellent story is 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood'. It follows the Elric brothers' journey to restore their bodies after a failed alchemical experiment. The plot is filled with complex characters, moral dilemmas, and a richly developed world of alchemy.
One anime that might have elements of this is 'Kaguya -sama: Love is War'. In some episodes, there are comical situations where characters might overeat in a slobbish way which could potentially lead to some weight gain implications. But it's not the main focus of the show.
The 'Discworld' series by Terry Pratchett is also great. For example, 'The Colour of Magic'. It's set in a flat world on the backs of four elephants standing on a giant turtle. Pratchett fills this world with hilarious characters like Rincewind, a wizard who is really bad at magic, and his adventures are full of comical situations and witty dialogue.
Sure. Once, a cat chased its own tail so vigorously that it spun around like a furry top. It was so confused but looked hilarious.
