Can anyone recommend me a lighthearted anime to watch? Kinda like Ranma 1/2, but not Ranma 1/2 because I'm reading the manga and I would, if possible, like something less fanservicey.
Any suggestions?

Fairy Tai-
*reads post about wanting less fanservice*
Uh...nevermind FT then.
Thre's Kyo Kara Moah, if you like prettyboys.
(SPOILER)
The first couple seasons of Yugioh GX.
Oh! Zoids New Century Zero.
What kind of anime are you looking for? Most comedy slice-o-life anime will be lighthearted, but if you're not interested in High School girls getting up to hijinks, then I would have to rethink any suggestions.
Need more specifics! :3
You should give Engaged to the Unidentified a shot. Its rather pretty new so you can either get it with a torrent or stream it online. I think it is right up your alley.
I'll looks up some of these, thank you :D
Comedy is fine, Shauna. I just feel like watching something less heavy and more funny or happy :3
Working!! is pretty lighthearted. It's essentially a slice of life comedy set in a restaurant.
Azumanga Daioh is a high school slice of life comedy that's funny. I've only read the manga, but I've heard the anime is essentially the same thing.
Excel Saga is a comedy full of random funny goodness.
Oh, I've seen a bit of Excel Saga, I forgot about that one. It is pretty funny!
Chobits is nice. It has a bit of fanservice in it, but I really liked it in spite of normally hating fan service. It also explores a theme that I find very interesting and wish more works of fiction should.
ALso, Nichijou is just absolutely hilarious and you have to watch it. No excuses. Just do. After that, try Arakawa under the Brigde. You need to see this, shion. Trust me. :love:
I will look it up :). I've read the Chobits manga and very much enjoyed it and I tried watching the anime but it just wasn't for me :/
Oh, okay ;) I understand. CLAMP have real problems with adapting their content to anime :| But I heard the ending was different in both versions, and both were actually written by CLAMP, so maybe some day you'll give it another shot? ;)Quote:

I'm not the biggest anime watcher in the world but Azumanga Daioh is a delight.
Nichijou is like Azumanga Daioh. But, like, ten times better :colbert:
Also, Kids on the Slope is kinda light but VERY good. Not as stupid or completely carefree like the other things I recommended, but still a very enjoyable watch.
Nope re AzuDai vs Nichijou.
Also Kuragehime (Princess Jellyfish) is adorbs. Natsume Yuujinchou is also great. Shinryaku! Ika Musume (Squid Girl) is squiddly silly.
Natsume Yuujinchou is pretty boring, actually.
