"Dramedy" is also used to describe certain anime series, such as Irresponsible Captain Tylor or Tenchi Muyo, which mix elements of comedy and drama. The opposite of some (melo)dramatic anime series (mostly the ones involving angst-ridden young mecha pilots) with bits of comedy relief, these are often mostly comedy with bits of dramatic relief. Of course, before things get too serious, one of the characters will probably say or do something stupid, causing the other characters in the scene to either fall over on their faces or clobber the character in question.
