Don't you hate it when you come home from busy day without a lot of time on your hand...especially when you want to read manga or watch anime to relax. Often time...some series are way too long...or just releases too slow...you just want something simple and that can finished quickly and be satisfying. I'm going to cover short completed anime series for you guys here. I'm going to tackle different genres to change things up. Keep it fresh and exciting!!! Enjoy
Detroit Metal City, 12 mins,12 episodes. It is super short but super awesome. It is one of the funniest anime ever....I mean EVER. Heavy death metal + misunderstood situations = numerous comedic events. The heavy metal music isn't that bad too, I find it quite catchy. RAPE RAPE RAPE....!!!!
Krauser: It was an accident, I promised....not >:D |
~Led by phallus-waiving terrorist-from-hell Johannes Krauser II
(guitar/vocals,) and given pulsing, throbbing life by indestructible
drummer Camus and bassist Alexander Jagi, Detroit Metal City is the
hottest ticket on the concert circuit! There's just one catch. That
"hottest ticket" is just a meal ticket, and beneath the makeup, these
ultimate head-bangers are hired doppelgangers who don't even LIKE what
they do! Jaggi is actually Wada, who wants to play glam rock; Camus is
Nishida, an anime fan with an appalling weakness for curry and NSFW
videos; and Krauser is... oh the shame... street-singing Soichi Negishi,
whose dreams of singing happy pop hits seem hopelessly doomed by the
success of his rage-fueled alter ego! Worse, he can't even tell anyone
who Krauser is. Not even the girl he likes, who HATES DMC! Will rage
against the corporate machine consume Negishi's tortured soul? Is there
life after death metal? What it's like to put your head in a jet engine
and turn up the volume?~ (Source: Sentai Filmworks)

Fooly Cooly, 25 mins, 6 episodes. It is one wacky anime, awesome directing and has plenty of style...simply ahead of its time. Prepare to journey together in this series with the male protagonist as he go through his "coming of age" phase of his life. Fantastic anime but can get a little confusing so pay good attention and I recommend Google. Its your best friend. The original soundtrack by The Pillows are simply the best. You will fall in love with the music too.
Canti: The most powerful pimple robot grown from the head of a prepubescent boy
~Naota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical),
but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his
brother leaves his homeless 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi
is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn't know
what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota's world is
totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa.
During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her bass
guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls
herself "Haruko" and her presence changes Naota's life to even further
insanity.~ (Source: AnimeNewsNetwork)

Baccano! 24 mins, 13 episode. Has a big cast full of memorable characters. Complex plot but makes it one of the best story telling anime ever with it back and forth sequence of events. You can call this a best mixed anime because it has numerous appeals from genres.
Isaac and Miria: The adorable and quirky duo idiots, you will love them.
~During the early 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying
Pussyfoot, is starting its legendary journey that will leave a trail of
blood all over the country. At the same time in New York, the ambitious
scientist Szilard and his unwilling aide Ennis, are looking for missing
bottles of the immortality elixir. In addition, a war between the mafia
groups is getting worse. On board the Advena Avis, in 1711, alchemists
are about to learn the price of immortality.
Based on the award winning light novels of the same name, this anime adaptation follows several events that initially seem unrelated, both in time and place, but are part of a much bigger story—one of alchemy, survival and immortality. Merging these events together are the kindhearted would-be thieves, Isaac and Miria, connecting various people, all of them with their own hidden ambitions and agendas, and creating lifelong bonds and consequences for everyone involved.~

Another, 24 mins, 12 episodes. This is better than all the crappy horror movies that USA releases. It is not scary per se but it is creepy as hell. You don't know how many times your hair on your body will stand up. Mystery, Horror, and Supernatural at its finest. The music builds the thrills and gore just adds to the overall feel to this horrific anime. It will start out slow but it is definitely worth the buildup.
Sakakibara Kouichi: Trust me, that blood isn't mine D:
~When Kouichi Sakakibara transfers to his new school, he can sense
something frightening in the atmosphere of his new class, a secret none
of them will talk about. At the center is the beautiful girl Mei Misaki.
Kouichi is immediately drawn to her mysterious aura, but then he begins
to realize that no one else in the class is aware of her presence~

Afro Samurai, 27 mins, 5 episodes. Simple story, a lot of fighting....samurai swords....blood and gore. Just badassery is one way to put this anime. Not much is said of the main protagonist except he is one cool ass mofo. One anime to get the blood pumping fast. Choreography and the animated fight scenes are still one of best compare to current airing anime as of this post.
