Short Series Recommendations

Nuggies · Post by **Nuggies** » 27 Nov 2020, 20:26

I need a few short distractions, looking for animes that are 1 or 2 series long etc...

Basically need things that I can binge in a day or two whilst I take a break from my mammoth Naruto rewatch but my mind is drawing a blank.

Children of the Whales
Kobayashi-san'Chi
AICO Incarnation
Knights & Magic
Akashic Records
Dragon Pilot Hisone and Masotan
Alice & Zoroku
BNA

All 12 or 13 episodes. AICO incarnation is probably the most bingeable. I had to watch that in a single sitting since I couldn't stop.
Actually BNA was the same.

The SoulTaker is only 12 or 13 episodes but is totally epic and awesome imo. Short season with anything else idk. Maybe Bubblegum Crisis in Tokyo 2040 since it's only 1 season, and a reboot of a show. The original Bubblegum Crisis series didn't finish so they made the reboot (Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040) is the completed story, and 1 season. RahXephon is 1 season but kind of intellectual and takes a little philosophy/thinking. Witchblade is one you might like? 1 season. Claymore anime only had 1 season and was pretty epic (imo). Everyone knows Evangelion. ^^

Air TV is another one that's only 13 episodes long but the story is pretty fucking deep, had me crying at the end... Anything by CLAMP that's 13 episodes long is worth the time investment tbh <33

So far, I'm starting with AICO

@Momogari

Finished AICO Incarnation in less than a day. You're right, very bingeable

If you have Crunchyroll there plenty of short series there although if you can put up with the ADs it is free but they are so intrusive, defiantly makes you want to subscribe

series I enjoyed are:

The God of High School
The 8th son? Are you kidding me?
GOBLIN SLAYER
The Misfit of Demon King Academy
Saga of Tanya the Evil
Fire Force

Have been looking to getting Funimation but I've been holding off as news on the web reports Sony may buy Crunchyroll and since they also own Funimation I hope it would then mean that you get both stream catalogues available.

I have funimation, netflix, VRV (which packages CR and Hidive--but I think not for the UK yet), and amazon. I can easily afford it, so I don't care. Funimation might be the least value of those right now imo. There's some good shows, but I wouldn't call it a great selection. A lot of trash that most people would never watch. And their player is shit and their website is bloated. Doesn't work with casting from my experience, either.

FLCL

There's three seasons all six episodes long. You can watch them in any order for they are not sequels to each other.
