Short, but awesome anime series

[clericwithnolife31]

Basilisk Samurai champloo

 

[Julianking93]

Black Lagoon was only 1 season I think.

That gets my vote.

It's the Firefly of the anime world

 

[Eicha]

Burst Angel (highly underrated), Claymore, and Witchblade.

 

[MystRunner]

Here are some of my fav short anime's I've included one movie that I love. Most are under 40 eps long.

FLCL (6 Episodes)
Intersteller 5555 (Movie)
Gurren Laggan (27 Episodes)
Cowboy Bebop (20 some episodes)
Last Exile (26 Episodes)
Project Blue Earth SOS (3 Episodes)
Hellsing Ultimate (6 episodes so far)
Trigun (20 some episodes)
Death Note (29 episoes)
Disgaea (11 episodes....i think)

 

[Timotei]

FLCL, Hellsing, and 08th MS Team are my reccomendations.

 

[Rocksa]

Outlaw Star- Little old, but pretty good.

Gantz- Short, sweet, and f*cking depressing as hell.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Devil May Cry was pretty short. But "cool" rather than "awesome".

 

[Ocelano]

Devil may cry

I wouldent say that, i mean, it makes no sence whatsoever, compared to the games.

That said apart from game 4 the games don't make sense when compared to each other for example where is trish in 2?

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

No one has said Spice and Wolf yet. it's 12 or 13 episodes long, but it's good.
I prefer it to Spice and Wolf II.

 

[Newtilator]

Buso Renkin. A tragically unheard of, only 26 episodes long, and in my opinion arather good anime. It is, however rather silly. But hey, a camp guy who uses exploding butterflys and eats people can't be bad, right?

 

[hobo_welf]

Samurai Champloo > Cowboy Bebop

Anyone else think the new FMA series is actually better than the original? By a lot I mean.

Azumanga Dioh was pretty fucking great...

Bakemonogatari is pretty awesome if you can handle the mindfucks involved.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

Elfen Lied- I think it was about 13 episodes, but it leaves you wanting more. In a good way.
Hard to believe an anime with excessive gore and breasts as a selling point could be so damn compelling as a story arch...
[Watch viewer interest increase by 15%]

 

[Ocelano]

Code Geass and Death Note are both, I believe, two seasons long.

Could be wrong - but they're excellent nevertheless.

You are correct.
Death Note clocked in at 37(?)
and Code Geass at 50.

OT: NGE is also quite short, at 26 episodes. But so, so satisfying.
[sub]Though if you do watch it, you MUST watch End of Evangelion as well.[/sub]

Just 3 things to add to this 1 trivia 1 sacrilege and 1 opinion you work out which is which

Firstly Interestingly the manga end's on chapter 108 which is the same number of earthly desire in buddhism

secondly In one respect I prefered the Live action flick's to the anime/manga The treating of ray pember's fiance Naomi Misora at least in the movie she had enough sense to put 2 and 2 together and figure ouot who light was and the death of his girfriend while light stood there helplessly was so much more convincing a way to try and get l's trust

Finally to all those who say these series are to short
the best ones always are because if you carry them to long they either lose their pace or you have to fill them with so much pointless stuff that they lose their meaning,
sorry if that sounds petty but I just thought it worth saying so ill say it clearer
If a show is not to short It is to long no real midground

 

[Ocelano]

Outlaw Star- Little old, but pretty good.

Gantz- Short, sweet, and f*cking depressing as hell.

Totally agree with gantz I mean does he go splat under the train Or is he saved by the timer?
I know it's strange but I've always loved shows with,as a friend of mine calls them, B*st*rd endings(buy a vowel). Shows like as you said gantz and evangelion movies to a lesser extent the evangelion series, what the heck was going on in that final episode anyway, And of course Gilgamesh dang that one had a sweet kicker Absolutely everyone dies with one exception, and not the one you think, and that final frame with her grinning covered in blood priceless

 

[The DSM]

Id go with death note, 37 is nothing since some shonen ones are up to 400.

 

[Dooly95]

Jumpin' on the FLCL/Fooly Cooly/Furi Kuri bus.

I think they cover the theme pretty well (puberty/coming-of-age) in a short period of time (3 hours) and you end up the pillows.

Yeah, the pillows were good.

 

[Ryuk2]

Elfien Lied, 13 episodes. Too short.

 

[Amnestic]

Okay, now watch Kodomo No Jikan so you can make a comment on Suiseiseki's next review.

Always struck me as a little too loli-esque, to be honest.
Though I did watch Strawberry Panic! and I fucking loved it, because I am a huge girl you guys.

I thought that was a hentai.

Strawberry Panic is a romance, there's some suggestive scenes, but no worse than the likes of the infamous Mass Effect 'romance' sequence.

KnJ is...well it's far more expletive, a lot of the first series has self-imposed censors on it.

Which they apparently got rid of in the second series...
