Hey, so I need some short anime recommendations, about 10 episodes or shorter would be ideal. I'm busy with college work a lot so I don't have that much time to complete longer anime, but I still want to watch it you see, thanks. :)

Only 10 episodes? Most series run in 12 episode seasons. If you're willing to push the episode count up by a couple, then: Madoka Magica (12 ep, Crunchyroll), Bakemonogatari can be watched a couple episodes at a time as each arc is pretty self contained (12 ep, Crunchyroll), Nisemongatari can be watched piecemeal as well (11 ep, Crunchyroll), and Binbougami Ga can be watched over an extended period of time too (12 ep, Hulu).

Let me know if this helps or if you need more recommendations!

12 is a magic number Orandakiu, here's quite a few 12 episode T.V. series.

B Gata H Kei - Don't be offput by the synopsis, it's a great comedic anime and the ecchi is done in brilliant ways.

Katanagatari - Awesome anime, the action scenes in it are brilliant and very fun to watch but most of each episode is just chit chatter. Definitely worth trying but if the dialogue doesn't appeal to you it'd probably be better to drop it early. Personally, I thought the dialogue was great and it worked just fine.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica - One of the very, very, few Mahou Shoujo anime I've ever liked. It really is different and worth a try, great show overall.

Jormungand - About a child soldier who joins loco Koko's arms dealer group.

Black Lagoon - About a Japanese businessman who becomes a pirate.

^All of the above are great series.

If you want to expand it to 13 I got even more.
