| One Punch man season 2 and mob Psycho 100 s2 Also if you like overlord, go read the light novel, it's much better. |
| My favourites are Hinamatsuri, Baccano!, 91 Days and Death Parade. |
| Tatami Galaxy, Made in Abyss, Madoka Magica... |
| Keijo!!!!!!!! Golden Boy Shimoneta Hinamatsuri Panty & Stocking Paranoia Agent Sora Yori If you're just talking about pure episode count instead of factoring in duration: add Katanagatari If you can count a franchise that has not released any of its sequel, even though the sequel is announced to be in the works (and also not factoring duration since the last episode is actually twice as long as the normal episodes) add in Made in Abyss If two of the above is added because of conditions above and the episode count of a TV length series as a side story does not count then add Hataraku Saibou |

Pullman said: Overlord has like 40 eps tho, how is that a short series? That makes no sense. Arbitrarily splitting a long series into multiple cours doesn't change the fact that it's a long series. It does make sense if we are talking about separate entries, because they can be treated as, well, separated entries xD If the OP is just trying to include the entirety of Overlord then yes, it's a bad example. But other than that, to each their own. I have personally decided to list only first seasons, but I could have included there Yama no Susume S3 since it's vastly superior to the previous seasons in my opinion, and it's actually in my top10 from its year. |

I just find it pointless to go by entries and just list a bunch of long anime when 'short anime' is in the title and the separation of entries is arbitrary in the first place. Going by entries doesn't make any sense, hence why I said 'that makes no sense' in response to OP. Functionally there is no difference between a story being aired in 50 episodes in one year or splitting it up into 4 1-cour airings. It's the same story, and just randomly excluding one or the other based on something as arbitrary as how they are grouped into entries makes no sense and makes any resulting top picks equally arbitrary. If you're not gonna limit yourself to short series like the title suggests, then you might as well include other long shows that aren't arbitrarily split up into small seasons because obviously length isn't a criteria after all. If that's the intent of the thread, it's a terrible thread that might as well just ask 'what is your favorite anime'. At least that way it wouldn't be excluding anime based on something arbitrary as how many episodes it aired at once that have nothing to do with the quality or nature of the show. Of course that would still just be a boring listing thread, that's why I went with the more interesting interpretation of just talking about standalone 1-cour (or shorter) shows cause that's actually interesting because it's a meaningful distinction that excludes other shows for reasons that make sense, are consistent with themselves and aren't completely arbitrary. It's a group of shows that can reasonably be compared to each other because they manage to tell a conclusive story in just 1-cour or less, not a group of shows that include series that have 80 episodes and series that have 10 episodes but also randomly excludes shows with 25 episodes ending of with an extremely incosistent and random pool of shows that have nothing in common and don't make sense being grouped together. I'm just trying to interpret this thread in a way that doesn't make the question and any replies given utterly meaningless/arbitrary. Also OP doesn't even mention the word 'entry' once, just 'anime' so it's very counterintuitive to assume he wants to talk about entries instead of just anime. But whatever, this discussion is almost as pointless as making this threads about entries instead of series... |

But whatever, this discussion is almost as pointless as making this threads about entries instead of series... The separation of entries is not arbitrary though? MAL has clear guidelines to separate seasons as different entries, and what I am saying is that you can pick these since technically they are 1-cour anime. Overlord in its entirety is a 3-season and 39-episode franchise, but Overlord first season is a 13-episode anime. As long as you make it clear, where is exactly the trick or the dishonesty there? You keep talking about "splitting" but I'm not talking about splitting, I'm talking about individual opinion on entries that MAL separates from each other, which yes, can be very different. And this thread is about favorites, I would understand your reticence if the underlying purpose of this thread was asking for recommendations, that way I would not mention Haruhi because it has another season and the OP asks for short anime for a reason, similarly I would probably not mention anime that have sequels or got them announced for the future, but if I like the first season, on its own, enough to be listed here, then of course. Why shouldn't I? Because the story is not complete with this season? Because there is another season I don't like as much? Due to some sort of holistic view that MAL right from the beginning doesn't encourage by separating the entries? I would understand any exclusive criteria you bring since I bring my own (didn't mention Devilman: Crybaby for instance) but really, you are reaching a lot in this thread by assuming that yours is the single right way to interpret it. Nowhere I am reading here "don't list separated entries from larger franchises", and there is no such fundamental in this thread that my take disagrees with, let alone render it meaningless. Also, the whole thread is random. There is no such thing as an essential reason why we are picking 1-cour shows instead of 2-cour or long running. The OP just created it this way, and if he creates another thread asking for 22-26 episode shows I will have other things to say. |

| Madoka Magica Made In Abyss Baccano Megalo Box One Punch Man Devilman Crybaby All are amazing with only 10-13 episodes |
| I would go with Erased, followed by The promised neverland, Shimoneta nad Made in Abyss |

| Death parade. 30 character limit REEE |
| Yakusoku no Neverland cuz it's amazing ,the best series in 2019 |

| My top 5 are: Serial Experiments Lain Elfen Lied Usagi Drop Zankyou no Terror Death Parade |
| Angel Beats was beautiful. Dumb character count. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
looks alot like made in abyss...... |
| Dragon Maid and Blend S. There really really good smaller series, and i'd just normally recommend it even if you don't want a shorter series. There both slice of life/comedy tho, but even if you aren't a fan of that genre, i'd say at least watch Dragon Maid. ;3; |
| It is "Saga of Tanya the Evil" is one of the best |
| "Never Give Up Without A Fight" By Zuko |
| My favs are 91 days, Death Parade and Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens (this one isn't finished though, but I doubt it'll ever get a 2nd season). |
| One Punch Man Grand Blue Mob Psycho S2/S1 Haikyuu S3 The Promised Neverland Death Parade BNHA S1 Bunny Girl Senpai |
Hey there! If you'd like to talk about anime or anything else feel free to drop a comment on my page or DM me. I'd be glad to have a conversation and make some new friends :) My list: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Amazinc?status=7&order=4&order2=0 |
It's actually the contrary, since these girls go up instead of down. But not the same show really. Made in Abyss is a thrilling adventure with stakes and tension, Girls' last tour is a rather quietly sad and reflective (and cutesy) take on post-apocalpyse. |
| Well, excluding the seasons of Gintama, that I consider just one anime with 300 and something episodes, it's Boku dake ga Inai Machi. Just perfect! |
| For me it has to be Violet Evergarden and Kaguya-sama. Baccano! is also up there. |
 |
| Violet Evergarden, Erased, Promised Neverland, Kaguya-sama, Baccano, Bunny-girl |
Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? |
| 1. Short usually means something else but let's play with this set of rules. 2. I am counting only single cour anime so shows with more than one core seasons like Natsu no Arashi or Natsume Yuujinchou are excluded. 3. On the main topic: Abenobashi Mahou☆Shoutengai B: The Beginning Baccano! + 3 OVA Bakemonogatari Bernard-jou Iwaku. Binbougami ga! Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou + short specials Detroit Metal City Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun + short specials Gugure! Kokkuri-san Hakumei to Mikochi Hisone to Maso-tan Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita + short specials Joshiraku + 1 OVA Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen Kill Me Baby Kino no Tabi (2003) - because it's a different interpretation than the recent one I count them as different shows Kokoro Connect + specials (about 17 episodes) Mousou Dairinin Otome Youkai Zakuro Punch Line Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda Servant x Service Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou Sketchbook: Full Color's Sora yori mo Tooi Basho Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru Suisei no Gargantia + specials (about 17 episodes) Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge + short specials Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun UN-GO + 1 short movie Usagi Drop Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei Yomigaeru Sora: Rescue Wings |

| Bananya is an anime with 13, 3 minute episodes. It isn't plot driven and just something cute to watch. |
 |
Personano said: Tsuritama; a twelve episode anime that's often ignored by the community. Everything about it charms me to no end. The bright colours, charming characters, silly yet fun plot ...I could go on and on. Give it a shot. You'll fall in love.  Thanks for this recommendation. I just watched three episodes of it and I really liked it. Apparently it was in my 'plan to watch' list but it's been a long time I even checked that. |
| how do you pick overlord.... it has like 36 episodes. that doesnt count at all. Baccano! on the other hand is amazing |
| https://combosmooth.itch.io/ - I make free-to-play browser games for PC and I sell pixel art animation here |
| In that case berserk is the best one for sure |
| Aggretsuko Bananya Comic Party Haibane Renmei High Score Girl Hinamatsuri Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Paranoia Agent Prison School The Promised Neverland School-Live! Serial Experiments Lain Teasing Master Takagi-san |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I don't know about the best one, but my most recent one is "Violet EverGarden". I am hyped about a sertain winter 2019 anime, but we'll see. |
 |
| Aku no Hana, Haibane Renmei and Madoka Magica. |
| Serial Experiments Lain Is my favorite anime (currently) and it has 13 episodes |
