Anime/manga:

  • Oyasumi Punpun scanlations have continued updating: the series is becoming ever more harrowing and difficult to read as it nears the end. I'm glad I started but I'm not sure I'd recommend it.
  • Milkman manga: weird and sometimes hilarious.
  • Thermae Romae anime: even weirder and more amusing, and the 3 episodes means that it doesn't outwear its welcome before the gimmick gets old.
  • Upotte!! anime: I enjoyed the battles and found the gun nut parts mildly interesting, but the sexualizing and fanservice with a weak finishing episode mean I can't recommend it.
  • Humanity Has Declined anime: lovely artwork, hilarious end to the first episode, and it's continuing to hold my interest up to episode 6; we'll see how the rest goes.
  • Joshiraku anime: a disappointment, and I say this as a Sayonara fan.

As the person who introduced Oyasumi Punpun to Tvtropes, I'll note that the forum discussion on the series quickly turned to other things you can read afterwards to pick your mood up. I'm holding off on reading the more recent updates until I can find something adequately heartwarming.

Indeed. Note that all the anime or manga I watched following the OP update could be described as comedy or action...
