What exactly defines "short"?

12-13 eps?

24-26 eps?

What?

I think preferably 12-13 (or less) but about 26 episodes is fine as well.

This isn't a short series, so ignore it if you want.

But Death Note is the show that got me into anime, and I watched it with my little brother (who isn't an anime fan), and he absolutely loved it as well.

Movies are probably your best bet, here are few that most people would enjoy IMO

Redline
Ghost in the shell
Satoshi Kon movies
Kara no Kyoukai
Cossette no Shouzou
Jin-roh and the Wolf Brigade

A few short anime that arn't very anime-like

Trapeze
Bartender
Ergo Proxy
Aku no Hana
Paranoia Agent
Serial Experiments Lain

Seitokai Yakuindomo is what got me into anime. Maybe you should give that a try.

Definitly seconding Baccano! and Death Note. Both stay away from many japanese cliches, so it's easy to get into and enjoy them.

And for movies, seconding Kara no Kyoukai and Satoshi Kon's movies.
