Short animes

[nommayomnom]

Does anyone have any really good anime that's under 40 episodes or so? And don't say Death Note, already watched it. I need to find some good anime to watch, and I don't have the patience to watch anything long.

Jinki EXTEND.

My boyfriend likes FLCL.

It's really, really, really weird, just to forewarn you.

But it's only 6 episodes.

Death Note. <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley2.png'>

[nommayomnom]

Lol yes, Death Note was amazing

[bakurachick]

i dont know what kind you like but Vampire knight is less than 40 episodes... <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley1.png'> ...its pretty good...

[nommayomnom]

lol, what a coincidence! I'm watching it right now! i like it too <img src='/images/emoticons/smiley1.png'>

Under 40 episodes is hardly short. That's like 80% of everything, I'd say short is like 12 episodes or under. 40 - 50 is pretty long and then the over 100s are long haul crazy filler fests most of the time.

But watch:
Gurren Lagann
Fate/Stay Night
Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad
Welcome to the NHK!
Nodame Cantabile
Air Gear
Kimi Ga Nozumo Eien

To name a few.

Devil may cry is short and epic, and Chrono Crusade was plain awesome.

[bakurachick]

[insaneXchaos]

Moyashimon - 11 eps
Zombie Loan around 11-12 eps
Real Bout High School - there's four volumes of them but i don't think the episodes exceed 40
Chaos Head - 12 eps
Loveless (if your not a homophobe) - 11-12 eps

[roxasabridged]

Hmmm... Somehow forgot rozen Maiden.

[DarthWario]

Excel Saga is only 26 long.

[killshot]

Baccano! is only 13 episodes with 3 OVA's. It's definitely worth the watch.

[MenosGrandeKuriboh]

Hellsing, Devil May Cry, Grenadier, FLCL, Gurren Lagann.....
Just off the top of my head.

Shortest:
FLCL (Fooly Cooly)

Most Interesting: (In my Opinion)
Gurren Lagann

[Mitsuki]

Trigun.
It's awesome. ^^

[Akrog]

Berserk, Cowboy Bebop, and Evangelion
They're all 26 episodes long.

[Mullon]

I also add my votes to FLCL, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Excel Saga.
