Recently just re-watched Kanata no Astra and liked how it had a solid, self-contained story within 12 episodes. What are other anime with stories that wrap up like this?

Ping Pong the Animation; solid short drama-sports story, in my opinion.

@Kronos Thank you. I really like your Violet pictures; they're really pretty. How are you liking it so far? I remember my first impression of it being that the art styles were weirdly unique.

@AE-2 thank you! and that was my exact impression as well. The uniqueness of the animation intrigued me too, and the way they go about the visual storytelling is wonderful.
