The Best of Bitesize Anime

  • Short Form anime is a medium that understands the value of time. Less than twenty minutes a piece - often a lot less - these bitesize shows truly embody the mantra of 'less is more', working twice as hard, twice as fast to make an impact. In this video I explore this fascinating art-form, and share with you eight of my favourites from its wide and varied pantheon.
    00:00 Introduction to Short-Form anime
    02:21 Encouragement of Climb
    03:45 Space Patrol Luluco
    06:05 Aggretsuko
    08:41 Honobono Log
    09:35 Fireball
    12:09 Please Tell Me! Galko-chan
    15:02 Wakakozake
    16:30 A Piece of Phantasmagoria
    18:25 Conclusion & Credits

    2:53 I could say that about your videos. You speak so calmly and at a relaxed pace but so eloquently that it feels like you’re giving a full 10 minutes to each series in this video. Excellent work!

    I'm so happy that you talk about Galko chan. I love Galko Chan, it's cool that an anime talks about girl stuff and explains stuff about it. The author's artsyle in terms of coloring is everything I want, it's so pretty 😫💓💓💓.

    Seconded about Honobono Log, I liked the opening song so much I kept looping it. For some slice of life comedy I also recommend "I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying", about an office lady and her otaku husband.
    You have such a way with words. Thank you for another video.

  • @TheCatThatNobodyKnow

    I feel like Nichijou should get an honorable mention. It still has a standard 20 minute per episode run time but the pacing of it is just a bunch of comedic bits that range from 5 minutes to 5 seconds.

    @ditzydoo4378 4 года назад +3

    Thank you for bring forth these gem's of the medium... Your point is spot on, a show that gets to the heart of the story and take great care in preserving the narrative, as well as staying in touch with it's audience will always be at the top with me.
    This is precisely why I hate shows that have good characters, but story lines and arc's that are drug out simply for the sake of cranking out another episode, One-Piece and JoJo are prime examples of this. To the point that they keep going back over already seen content, or create worthless filler episodes only because the staff is so exhausted with creating a series that seems to have no end, or substances for that matter.
    I love the short format as well as one season shows that are endearing as well as staying on course, that don't loose their audience to the boredom of having to endure a 10-episode sub-arc just to resolve a minor issue in order to advance the story along.
    Again thank you. ^_^

    Uchuu Senkan Tiramisu - a sci-fi comedy focusing on a mecha pilot more concern with his comfort in the cockpit than on the grand space conflict around him in which he's fighting, but the fun moments keep coming, especially if you have some passing familiarity with mecha classics.
    I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying - a charming slice-of-life about a couple where the husband is a stay-at-home otaku blogger, whose world is somewhat alien to his wife.

    I'm glad to find someone who's talking about this, especially from the aspect of saving time. I won't get into the larger animes mostly because I don't want to spend that much time on a single show. Why do that when I could watch a diverse lot of movies and other shows in the same time? I look for animes with fewer episodes, like Magica Madoka and Munto, or shows with bite-size episodes like what you're talking about. This needs to be more of a thing.

With just 13 episodes in the recipe, and a baking time of 3 minutes 15 seconds each, you’re going to want to gobble up every morsel of this fancy, tasty treat.

    Thanks for posting the wonderful video. These are definitely going on my Must Watch List, especially now that I have less time than ever to watch my favorite anime.
    Galko-chan is one of my fave anime, ever, but not for the reason you might expect. Although, I love & laugh at the ribald absurdities of the characters' antics, it's for Galko that I couldn't stop watching.
    My beloved twin sister was 27 when she suddenly passed away, leaving me grasping for anything I could find to fill the gapping hole her passing left in me. And Galko, although I discovered it 13 years after the event, did a wonderful job of plugging that hole, even for a few minutes a shot. Galko IS my sister. The attitude, her looks, her brilliance, her ditziness, her kindness, the way her nonconformist streak & pornstar body so badly juxtaposed against her inherent shyness & Christian faith. It was like getting a chance to visit my darling for a little minutes before having to return to the insane bustle & noise that drove me to want her again in the first place. I'll always be grateful for those few minute visits, & I keep going back for more whenever life gets to heavy & I just need a breather.
    But it's you, Joe, that I want to thank for releasing this video when you did. I just suddenly & expectedly lost my job of 6 years a couple weeks ago, & was just as suddenly dropped head first into a new one I didn't want & that turns everything in my comfort zone on it's head. Life has been complete chaos, confusion, & physical pain since then & to hear your warm, soothing, comforting voice talk about short anime to watch when you have no time to even sleep, was made to order for right now. May Haruhi bless you, my friend. You're the BEST!

    One of my favorite short anime series is from Studio Trigger, it's on the youtube channel Anime Bancho, and it's titled Turning Girls. Basically, after making Inferno Cop, they took all their female non-animation staff and told them to make something. They made one of the most bracing cringe comedy series I've seen. It's mean, and biting, and... oddly bittersweet.

    Ooh, could the lightbulb in the desert imagery from A Piece of Phantasmagoria have inspired parts of Trigun? I was struck by familiarity as soon as I saw that clip. The series certainly looks older than Trigun at any rate, so it’s possible.

    So, just one recommendation, you should watch "Genius Party". It's a compilation of shorts with a very unorthodox approach to styles used. As a bonus, the last entry is directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, with the score composed by Yoko Kanno.

    Some of the best Shorts I have seen are actually music Videos.

    Wonderful research, mate.
    I feel I am relieved from outperforming anime into actually enjoying anime.
    (I hate current hollywood. I haven't watched a new hollywood movie since three years)
