Cowboy Bebop (an absolute space western classic)

Nichijou (some great, absurd, and totally random comedy)

Mushishi (contemplative and melancholic spiritual journey)

Natsume Yuujinchou (a much more light Mushishi I'd say, relaxing Slice of Life)

Ghost and The Shell Stand Alone Complex (a cyberpunk masterpiece that features political, military and philosophical themes, packed with action, mystery and police thriller).

+1 Mushishi, Cowboy Bebop & Natsume. Probably the others Sachyan mentioned too that I just haven't seen yet.

In no particular order:

Katanagatari -- There're collecting swords and each episode involves a different one and the owner they need to defeat to get it (more or less).
Ijiranaide Nagatoro-san -- Similar format as Takagi-san, just be aware that the first couple of episodes Nagatoro's teasing is almost bullying but by episode 3 or so it gets a lot more wholesome/cute.
Little Busters -- 1 or 2 episode-long mini arcs of the Little Busters team.

Miru Tights -- Soft-core ecchi.
A-Channel -- Cute school girl friends doing whatever at school.
Seitokai Yakuindomo -- Pervy-minded female student council torment their straight-man male recruit with sexual/toilet humor. No ecchi.

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru -- Guy is obliged to cross-dress and attend an all-girls school. Cute and zany, no ecchi.
Gintama -- 1000's of other members could tell you more as I've barely scratched the surface but it's mostly episodic although apparently there are longer arcs here and there in this massive franchise.
xxxHOLiC -- Different supernatural entities per episode. Art may take some getting used to (noodle people).

Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran -- Expert female samurai and her side-kick right some wrong in the villages they pass through.
Honobono Log -- Short, cute skits of family life.
Ouran Koukou Host Club -- Episodic reverse harem.

Aria the Animation -- Girls training to be undines (Venetian gondoliers) on a terraformed Mars.
Love Hina -- Episodic harem.
Hayate no Gotoku -- Butler protects rich girl from various crazy dangers.
Uta Kata -- There is an overall plot goal but each episode is a different fight with a different entity or whatever. @Fario-P could inform you better :)

Edit: Forgot about the no yuri/shoujo-ai note so I deleted those although you may get vague yuri vibes from Aria and Uta Kata. There's one episode in Miru Tights that is yuri and there may be some additional yuri baiting. In A-Channel there is a running gag of Tooru trying to protect Run from boys.

Uta∽Kata is indeed an episodic series that also has an overarching narrative, but there aren't any action/fight scenes in the show. It is very underrated imo, but I do have a feeling OP might not watch it, because while there is some fanservice your edit is also something that happens in the show.

Thanks for the mention though! It's good to see people remembering this show too.


also this is a nice shot, see, this anime looks very nice

Lupin the 3rd- A show about a group of thieves who get into random fun adventures. There are many Lupin the 3rd shows and movies but it doesn't matter where you start.

somewhat horror-themed:
Warau Salesman (New)
Jigoku Shoujo
Yami Shibai
Sekai no Yami Zukan

others:
Death Parade (judgement)
Mononoke (ghosts n stuff)
Bartender
Detective Conan
Mushishi
Kuuchuu Buranko (doctor)
Osomatsu-san (comedy)

these shows mostly centre around either a main character or a main theme and each episode mostly covers one short but complete story :)

Episodic Anime:

Trigun
I'll let the description from Trigun's OP on YouTube do the talking for me:
"--Check out this bad ass anime called Trigun. Its about a guy, a western cyberpunk scifi styled, the guy is a gunslinger, he is worth so much money that he isn't worth just dollars, he is worth double dollars. Has a fucked up past, and alot of heavy shit goes down in it. Check it out now, dammit!"
The protagonist spends the series traveling through various towns, meeting new people and learning new thing (about others and about himself) in the process. Perfect setup for episodic storytelling.

Ouran Koukou Host Club
You may have heard of it. It's very lighthearted, a bit romance-ey, but loose ends always get tied up nicely and all questions answered by the end of each episode. highly suggested.

Hinamatsuri
Wholesome AF. It's about beings with supernatural powers (but who look like humans) struggling to fit in with human society. Super cute and funny and a wide cast of likeable characters.

Cowboy Bebop
A classic. I don't really understand the anime myself. But each of the 26 episodes is relatively self-contained, and can be wildly different... I'd say the only thing to remind me it's not 26 different shows is the consistent main cast. Very episodic.

Paranoia Agent
An anime where each episode follows a new troubled person and the story of their life... as the anime progresses, peoples' fates get intertwined until a final ending climax. It's cool.

FLCL
6 episodes of straight weirdness (in the good way of course).

Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha
Protagonist Hei, who is superpowered badass man by night and normal college student by day, goes on missions to different places, often in disguises that vary by episode. It's a more serious/somber anime if you care about that sort of thing.

Honorable Mentions (might as well call them 22-minute shorts compilations):
Pop Team Epic
Plastic Neesan
Nichijou
Daily Life of High School Boys
Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan
Usavich I, II, III, VI, V, VI
Inazuma Delivery
