Whats the most short runtime anime that you have watched?

For me its "Angels Drop". Its runtimes only 5 minutes.

Edit: From only those animes that are in MAL database.

Its actually hard to find those ultra short animes which aren't in MAL.

I've watched a few series with runtimes of about five minutes. But, the shortest is probably the series I'm watching this season: Nights with a Cat. It's got a runtime of a minute.

Katsudou Shashin is only 3 seconds long. You can watch it two or three times consecutively without blinking.

I think the the shortest anime I have watched was the Ai (ona) which is only about seven seconds long with one episode. I can't really remember anything shorter off the top of my head.

Also seen this so I guess my original answer was factually wrong.

That was the first anime ever created. We can't expect they started the history of japanese animation with a two hours long movie :)

I don't consider shorts as anime so the shortest real anime I watched is probably FLCL.

Putting short anime and music videos aside, it's Prison School, the anime is so disgusting I dropped it fast that I didn't even reach the half of the episode.

Pupa maybe. Thing is I've seen a lot of anime in general. A good chunk of them are short form. But rather than shortest, the most memorable of them all, for me is "Pupa".

There's some music or Avant garde ad shorts which are anywhere from 10 to 30 secs. I've seen some of those.

Umm some people find this anime very disgusting and some consider it as one of the best comedy animes. For example: Prison school is the funniest anime I've watched so far. But when I recommend it to my cousin, she dropped it on ep 1.

This fact is kinda awesome about this anime..
