Copy Clerk  Posts: 102 Joined: 8 Apr 2004   | Bare in mind I consider 26 episodes average length. FLCL: Not going to beat it, six episode, tight storytelling and it's fun. Aside from that my recommendations would mostly boil down to OAVs I have on VHS. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2282 Joined: 5 May 2008     | FLCL was downright amazing (at least what I've seen) And some of my friends suggested Gurrenn lagann, yet I've never had the chance to watch it... |

Clannad: not insanely short, but not insanely long: 2 24-episode seasons. Easily the most emotional work of film, animated or live, that I have ever seen, especially in After Story (the second season). |

It was by the guy's who made FLCL and shows some influences (i.e crazyness) from it, so you'd probably like it. And your friends are right, it is awesome. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 143 Joined: 18 Aug 2009   | Elfen Lied and Code Geass are rather short, but still fantastic animes. Death Note is also pretty good. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 496 Joined: 14 Aug 2009  | code geass, death note, lucky star, and excel saga. all short , all brilliant.hmmm, what would happen if you put all of them together?....... |
Press Junketeer Posts: 496 Joined: 29 Jun 2009    | paranoia agent. 13 episodes. |

You are correct. OT: NGE is also quite short, at 26 episodes. But so, so satisfying. |
Muckraker  Posts: 307 Joined: 22 May 2008  | Azumanga Daioh! It's really random, and not even about anything in particular - just a group of 6 girls and 2 of their teachers in particular (that sounded less creepy in my head :S ), at school, and at home, etc. How they get along, going through 3 years of their schooling. It's... Actually quite good, considering there's no real plot to it... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1565 Joined: 15 Feb 2009   | Baccano! It's about mobsters in Prohibition era New York City. Supernatural mobsters. It's amazing. Crazy wtf-humor next to incredible gore. 16 episodes. Watch it. |

Seconded. You want to watch them again (I am!), when you're done, to catch everything. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 56 Joined: 25 Sep 2008   | Elfen Lied and Hellsing are brilliant. I'm currently watching Death Note, which may be the best anime I've watched so far. I've watched 15 episodes in a row today, because it was too intriguing to stop. But I'm not very well versed in anime though.. I liked Trigun as well, though some parts of the series was slightly tedious imho. |

Seconded, thirded, forthed, fifth, sixthed. D: They are awesome. Edit: Goddamn, ninja'd. Though i still got all the other spots :D Blood+/Chobits = Baaaaad, however. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 85 Joined: 11 Sep 2008   | Afro Samurai is about 5 episodes long and is fairly awesome. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 657 Joined: 6 Aug 2008    | Short but awesome huh? Well, as someone else has already mentioned, Afro Samurai, which, in my personal opinion, is a 5 episode + 1 movie-I-really-need-to-get-around-to-seeing instructional video on how to be awesome.What else? Kannazuki No Miko, a rather lovely romance story, with giant robots, I know a mecha hater (as opposed to yours truly, a "Mecha-dork", I just love mechs, I'm not particularly picky about the size, see: Appleseed) who got some enjoyment out of that one, but I'll admit it's not for everyone, Wikipedia first. The 24 long Chrono Crusade also makes the grade as far as I'm concerned, then again I never read the mangas and was therefore never scorned by the anime, then again it did have a christmas episode... Oh yeah and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but you probably already knew that. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 203 Joined: 6 Jul 2009 | Read Or Die was pretty good. It had great art and animation and some interesting characters. It was only like 3 episodes. |
Paperboy  Posts: 11 Joined: 31 Oct 2009    | I'm surprised no one has mentioned The 08th MS Team. 12 episodes, and pretty mature for being a series about giant fighting robots. Black Heaven is a good series, IMHO. Also 12 episodes, and plenty of hard rock references. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 175 Joined: 1 Jul 2009  | FLCL was pretty damn awesome |
Anonymous Source  Posts: 9 Joined: 26 Sep 2009  | Im not a huge anime fan but I would like to see more Witchblade, Trigun, Black Blood Brothers, and Cowboy bebop, and, not really serious, Eiken (I know I'm horrible person). |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2877 Joined: 24 Jul 2009 | I strongly suggest Sola. 13 episodes of epic win. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 126 Joined: 31 Oct 2009 | Murder Princess was pretty good. Elfen Lied was also pretty good. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4509 Joined: 26 May 2009  | FLCL (never saw the whole thing, though), Trigun was fairly short and K-On. Other come to mind, but they are (somewhat) on going. |

I thought that was a hentai. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1170 Joined: 25 Dec 2008  | Berserk, Claymore, and Gun X Sword are all short and awesome. |
On the Record  Posts: 5105 Joined: 13 Dec 2008   | I've only recently gotten into anime, thanks to this site, but the two I've seen all the way through (Elfen Lied and Hellsing) are both excellent. I really want to start watching Death Note too, and I've heard good stuff about Code Geass, are there any others people could recommend, while we're on that topic? :) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1326 Joined: 9 Jan 2009  | FLCL and K-On were great and way too short (6 and 13 episodes, respectively). Cowboy Bebop is pretty good too and Gundam 08th MS Team sits on my top three favorite Gundam series. |

Paperboy  Posts: 24 Joined: 7 Oct 2009  | Burst Angel (highly underrated), Claymore, and Witchblade. |
