Short, but awesome anime series

Azumanga Daioh!
Only 26 episodes, but it cracks me up so much!
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...
If you're looking for a short anime that really challenges you in any way, then this... probably isn't the one for you
But it is good for a laugh.

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.

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.
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...
Gundam fans would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't watch Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, it's only 13 episodes long, watch it.
Oh yeah and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but you probably already knew that.

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.

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).
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'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?
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.
