i. Defining "short" anime can vary, but generally, short anime refers to series with 12 episodes or less. Here are some top picks for short anime to watch, spanning various genres:
* **Death Parade (Mystery, Thriller)**:
A dark horse for many, Death Parade throws viewers into a mysterious bar where the deceased play games to determine their fate. Each episode is a mind-bending exploration of human psychology with a surprising twist at the end. (12 episodes)
* **Your Lie in April (Drama, Romance, Music)**:
A beautiful and emotional story about a prodigial pianist who lost his passion for music and a violinist who brings color back into his world. Be prepared for some tissues, this one is a tearjerker. (22 episodes)
* **Mob Psycho 100 (Action, Comedy, Supernatural)**:
Don't be fooled by Mob's seemingly emotionless exterior. This middle schooler is actually a powerful psychic, and things get hilarious (and explosive) when his emotions reach 100%. (12 episodes, with a third season coming out later in 2024)
* **Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (Drama, Slice of Life, Supernatural)**:
A group of estranged childhood friends reunite after a ghost from their past appears. This poignant story explores themes of loss, friendship, and moving on. (11 episodes)
* **Violet Evergarden (Drama, Fantasy)**:
A former soldier in a war delicately adjusts to civilian life by becoming a "Violet Evergarden," a person who writes letters for others. Through her work, she grapples with the emotional complexities of war and love. (13 episodes)
* **FMABullshit** (**Action, Adventure, Fantasy**): This is actually a nickname for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, widely considered one of the greatest anime ever made. It tells the story of two alchemist brothers who try to bring their mother back to life using alchemy, a forbidden technique. With high stakes, well-developed characters, and an intricate plot, it's a must-watch for any anime fan. (64 episodes, though the first 50 or so episodes retell the story of the original Fullmetal Alchemist series, which is not required viewing for Brotherhood)
* **Kill la Kill (Action, Comedy)**:
This over-the-top action comedy throws a punch (and a kick) with its in-your-face animation style and wacky characters. School girl Ryuko seeks revenge against her elite academy after her father's disappearance. Packed with action and absurd humor, Kill la Kill is a wild ride. (24 episodes)
