Getsuyoubi - You got good taste
Koko Sensei - I can respect that. I think the manga is better, personally.
Peter Grill - You've lost me, you're fired.

Urusei Yatsura is my #1 favorite! Each episode is made up of multiple shorter segments, like an American cartoon.

My next most favorite is Comical Psychosomatic Medicine, an anime about psychology.

I also love Plastic Neesan, Senyuu, and I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying. That last one is from the creator of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Plastic Neesan is the funniest short show I've seen. 2 minutes an episode, but they cram a lot of humor in them.

Deji Meets Girl

It's not as episodic as the typical short anime, there's continuity with each episode. I also like the art direction and how it features Okinawa.

I don't think I've seen a lot of those to be honest, but one that comes to mind for me would be 'Tejina-senpai'.
It's not an amazing show, but it gave me a good laugh, so there is that :)

Senryuu Girl
Tamayura franchise
First three seasons of Yama no Susume (the fourth season switched to a full length episode format, still just as enjoyable though)

Not including the chibi-fied comedy shorts of idol anime like Idolm@ster and Love Live Nijigasaki. Enjoyable, but I wouldn't put them in the same tier as the shows I already mentioned.

Yami Shibai (mainly first season)

Onipan! was really cute and I liked that they used young seiyuu it just made it even cuter

Anime de Wakaru Shinryounaika was kinda funny educational anime about psychology. The manga is actually written by a doctor that owns a clinic unfortunately the manga is not translated.

Plastic Neesan is pretty damn funny to me. Sadly the manga is a little less funny since you dont have that comedic timing.

Recorder to Randoserou was kinda cute. Not Exactly a fav.

Oh no how could I forget Miru Tights, One Room, 180 Byou de Kimi no Mimi wo Shiawase ni Dekiru ka?...POV stuff is just fun to watch for something different.

One example - "Eve no Jikan" a.k.a. "Time of Eve".

It's a 6 episodes ONA, each episode ~18 minutes.
Later it was re-made into movie with adding some scenes and removing some scenes.

It touches interesting theme about relationships between humans and androids.

I guess that would be Let's Make a Cup Too.

Gundam Thunderbolt

And I don't remember other half length shows that I liked.

Well I've been liking Hyakusho Kizoku so I guess that counts.

Oh thanks to your list I remembered the first season of Yami Shibai

I think that's it, none of them are amongst my favourites but these are all the short anime I remember liking as of now.
