So I am having a friend over and we want to complete a 12 episode Anime easily, so I ask that you all give me reccomendations of 12 episode series that are considered "masterpieces".

Sorry for being vague, but it just doesn't matter to me, as long as it is really good.

The best 12 episode series I've seen so far are:

No Game No Life
Madoka Magica
Another

I haven't seen very much, but I'd appreaciate some help with this.

who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies.
I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass
We are humans. - Shinsekai yori

Baccano! is the best. Seriously


And I would also say Zankyou no Terror, though it's only 11 eps, and a lot of people would probably disagree with me. But whateva.

Angel Beats is 13 eps.
If we're accepting 13 episodes too then I say Serial Experiments Lain.

Katanagatari too, but each of the episodes is 50 minutes long, so I don't know if it counts.
Mononoke
Aoi Bungaku Series

If you accept 13 episodes, I can name some more, but these are for now.

There's Ping Pong if you can get over the art (which I don't really mind at all).

And for some other good series around 12 episodes:
Hibike! Euphonium
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Detroit Metal City (they're around half the length of standard episodes so it'll be an even easier watch)
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Barakamon
Kyousou Giga
Bartender

I didn't see these on your lists:

AnoHana:The flower we saw that day - 11 episodes - very moving, a group of friends drift apart but come back together has they remember a friend

School Days - 12 episodes - drama, love triangle featuring high school students, not your typical high school romance anime, (nice boat)

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Usagi Drop, C:, and Nobunaga Concerto are all a bit under 12 episodes and are all amazing anime. Shigofumi, Non Non Biyori, and Zombie Desu Ka? are good 12 episode anime. I am only suggesting anime that other people haven't said yet. These may not completely fit your taste.

If we're cheating and pretending a two season show that has 12 episodes is okay..

EF - Memories/Melodies.
Fate Zero
TWGOK Season 3
Spice and Wolf

If katanagatari counts, then Katanagatari

Baccano! (it's actually a 13-episode series, but I highly recommend it, although it's probably a hit or miss with most people. It's an action/mystery anime, with supernatural elements and a bit of comedy interspersed throughout. There's also the additional bonus of blood and gore, seeing as how you liked Another)
One-Punch Man (imo the comedy is pure gold, being the only anime series that I've watched that has actually made me laugh, other than Haikyuu! It's even better when you watch it with a friend.)
AnoHana is quite entertaining and it's only 11-episode long. If you like pure drama with no action whatsoever, I highly recommend this. But even then, AnoHana is still interesting to watch.
