Trigun NGE or YYH

Ghost in the Shell (Movie or Series) not that funny but hey it was a huge basis for The Matrix.

Angel Sanctuary Evil angels vs a good fallen angel and demons plus some really messed up teenaged angst....hhmmm....Nirvana.

NGE Giant robots, fan service, bitchy crazy girls, and a nut case for a hero. Both funny and deadly serious.

Armitage sort of like terminator/total recall except people are the bad ones.

R.O.D. its like ancient Chinese legend plus Indian Jones plus James Bond. While serious in content the lead role is a rather clutzy and funny bookworm.

Trigun Serious gun fight one minute and serious donut fight the next.

Kiddy Grade (Starts off lame and girly, but that is to be intentionally misleading. Its rather dark and layered despite comical moments. A lot of death and rebirth themes and secret police type stuff.)


Utena may be what your looking for. Of course it may not be funny enough. It tends to be kind of far away and phantasmal as well.

Yu Yu Hakushou (uncensored that is) may be a little to light for you or not deep enough. Its like DBZ meets X-files. Except its plot flows nice.

Since you said a combo like RK and Samurai X YYH might do it. It focuses on an anti-hero bad ass, who dislikes the people he saves. He has more in common with the demons he fights. (Admittedly Yusuke is more of a bad ass in the mange; smokes, picks on weaklings, etc.)

Inuyashafits the profile as well. Funny, but based a round a really sad situation.


In the end I would say NGE, YYH, or Trigun. Its hard to get that comedy element of RK into something as serious as Samurai X.


NGE merit:
It follows the saying "I hear voices and they don't like you."

YYH merit
No dramatic you will pay speeches just I'll kick your ass..then make a seven on a math test.

Trigun:
Very serious topic with some philosophy, however, the gunslinging often cryptic Vash is a complete dufus at heart, not unlike Kenshin.
