Baccano! is probably my all-time favorite anime for sheer inventivenes, charm, and humor. My friends surprised me with it one Saturday and it's stuck with me for thirteen years now. I've always had a bias toward the short form anime, where they have a crystal clear vision and deliver consistency in episode and after episode. If I were to actually name my 10 faves, I'm pretty sure 80% of the list would have episode counts under 40.
Planet With is an anime that sees Gurren Lagann's 27 episode run time, takes a deep pull from a cigarette, and says "Fuck it, we'll do it in 12". If that comparison has you even remotely intrigued, do yourself a favor and check it out.
It's an absolute watch, but it's definitely not TTGL. TTGL kinda pushed the envelope when it comes to expanding the scope rapidly, and also it's pretty hard to match some of the feels from TTGL. Maybe it's due to the big brother passing the mantle dynamic, but TTGL stands alone even though it's not my #1.
Baccano! is such a gem. Fantastic characters, trippy plots, great comedy relief, and one of most amazing displays of love around. I gave it a shot for the interesting setting, was drawn in by the mystery on the train, and ended up loving so many of the characters. And you sold me on Punch Line, Akudama Drive, Appare-Ranman, and Planet With. They're on my to watch list now. Golden Boy is much like Panty & Stocking in that you might have to watch a few eps and take a break to let you mind quit boggling for a bit. For other short length anime - Kino's Journey is one of the first to spring to mind as the original series is so underrated
15 Shows I recommend (13 or less eps): 1) Land of the Lustrous 2) Ping Pong the Animation 3) Kino's Journey (2003) 4) Mononoke 5) The Tatami Galaxy 6) A Place Further Than the Universe 7) Odd Taxi 8) Gunbuster 9) Gundam: The Origin 10) Sonny Boy 11) Area 88 12) Heike Monogatari 13) Haibane Renmei 14) Heavenly Delusion 15) Serial Experiments Lain Bonus: Naoki Urasawa's Pluto
shout out to you for including serial experiments rain and HAIBANe RENMEI! I feel like no one has seen Haibane renmei and i was staring to think i dreamt it
Some recommendations: 1. Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (11 episodes) 2. Hinamatsuri (12 episodes) - Story doesn't end and unfortunately never got a 2nd season, however, it is mainly comedy so worth watching even if you won't continue with the manga. 3. A Place Further Than The Universe (13 episodes) 4. Death Parade (12 episodes) 5. Land of the Lustrous (12 episodes) - Doesn't end in a very satisfying way and unfortunately never got a 2nd season. I believe it is still worth watching though.
I see Baccano!, I click. If anybody hasn't seen Baccano!, it's very much worth the hunt (if you can handle the gore. What was showing the video is just a taste of it).
Damn Geoff really didn't lie with that title! Baccano, Golden Boy, Punchline, Appare Ranman, Akudama Drive and Planet With are all top tier recommendations!! I've enjoyed every single one of those a lot!! 👌👌
Shortlist of anime mentioned for all your copy pasting needs 1) Puela Magi Modoka Magica 2) Ping pong the animation 3) Baccano! 4) Punch Line 5) Akudama Drive 6) Pant & Stocking with Garterbelt 7) Golden Boy 8) Appare-Ranman! 9) Kids on the slope 10) Planet With
I think this is the best and most relevant video he's ever made. Like as someone who definitely has anime fatigue sometimes, it is great to have a binge-able weekend anime list
@@prateekkulkarni574 I think the previous commenter meant that having to list the time stamps of each recommendation shouldn't have been necessary because they should have been in the description, not that the video itself was unnecessary.
This timing is so wild, I actually said earlier today "I feel like I'm getting burned out on anime, I'm so sad about it." Thanks for the recs as always, Geoff!
Lost it with the "getting a job at a pool and learning to swim after" gag because I have seen that play out in my old lifeguarding days, not once, but twice in a single year.
Please continue this series. As a 30-ish year old man stuck in a 9 to 5 from Monday to Friday, these "weekend bingeable" animes are what I've been looking for exactly. Thanks for the list! Definitely gonna check out the ones I haven't seen yet.
Madoka felt like such an EVENT when it was broadcasting. It may just be because it was a pretty formative time for me in general so the year stands out in my mind, but I honestly can't remember any anime since completely dominating internet discourse the way Madoka did in 2011. Speaking of 2011, my top pick for anime to binge in a weekend is Anohana. Just make sure you have enough tissues on hand.
Oh God, I bawled my eyes out during the last two episodes of Anohana! I'm surprised that that one wasn't on here, since Geoff is the one who got me to watch it in the first place.
My favorite short anime I've ever watched is FLCL. Only six episodes long and an absolutely killer soundtrack. A story that moves so fast and throws so much at you that you that my first watch just made me say "I have no idea what I just saw, but I loved it." The wildest thing was, after some time and a rewatch, everything is really neatly wrapped up and makes total in-universe sense. FLCL airing on Adult Swim was the anime that got me into anime beyond Dragon Ball Z. It rules.
Fun Fact: A Victorian Gentleman Thief, Wild West Gunslinger, Samurai, and retired French Pirate (from the Golden age of piracy in the Caribbean) could have theoretically all sat in the same room together and I'm annoyed no one has done anything with that idea yet.
Great list! I would add Keep Your Hands off Eizoken, Hinamatsuri, Vivy Flourite Eyes, Planetarian, Death Parade, Insomniacs after School, Skip & Loafer, Gundam 0080/ The 08th MS Team/Thunderbolt, Deca-Dence, ID: Invaded, Bubblegum Crisis and Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Dude, this is aweseome! My wife and I are rewatching Bleach right now (or rather, I am rewatching, she sees it for the first time) and even without the filler - with a full time job, Gaming as a main hobby and a one-year-old - we're at episode 160 and are on this for MONTHS now.... that's no fun, honestly. Getting awesome recommendations of anime that are DONE and can be watched in a short amount of time is a BLESSING for us. Thank you so much!
Geoff, I’ve been subbed to your channel for a while now and out of all the lists you’ve provided, this is DEFINITELY your best one. Every single entry is ah absolute certified fucking banger!
I haven't really cared about keeping up with seasonal anime in a while, so this video's format is actually really good for me. More deep cut high quality recommendations please!
Hell yeah, Akudama Drive and Appare Ranman are wayyyyy too underrated, love to see them here. As for other Short anime recs, I semi-recently watched Land of the Lustrous, and even though it's technically an unfinished adaptation, it's too beautiful not to mention. Plus, the manga is god damn soul shatteringly good, so I'll recommend that too.
Geoff, I want you to know that I spent the entire video going "wait, what about Planet With?" And then when you said Appare Ranman was the 'penultimate' one and the last one _wasn't_ Planet With I was genuinely confused. So, you know, you got me, well done.
I love Planet With, it's one of my favorite mecha anime of 2018. Along with Bang Brave Bang Bravern is one of my favorite yaoi mecha anime of 2024, and it's even much better than between Metallic Rouge and Synduality Noir. But, I just can't wait to see Mecha-Ude on October 4th, yeah!?
Going to shout out Kyousougiga here. An absolutely wonderful and genuinely moving family drama disguised as a surreal science-fantasy action-comedy with some incredibly dynamic and colourful animation and excellent character writing, all helmed by the immensely talented Rie Matsumoto. It's only ten episodes long (the extras aren't necessary), so you can bang it out in an afternoon if you're sufficiently tenacious. It may seem a bit esoteric at first, but trust me, just roll with it and it will change you.
yeah Kyousougiga gotta be in a follow-up to this video, especially considering what was recommended here. Kyousougiga made me cry by the end almost as much as Violet Evergarden while being almost as crazy visually as Flip Flappers (which itself deserves a highlight, but Kyousougiga deserves it more for being substantially more obscure). also nobody ever talks about it but the OP is one of my favorites ever.
Akudama Drive was AMAZING, Baccano has been on my list to watch forever (and is now ready to do so), and damnit, with how passionately you push it, you've finally convinced me, I'm also grabbing Planet With. THANKS, Geoff, now look what you've done to my week! ...Seriously, thanks!
One thing a lot of people don't mention that I think perfectly fits into this category is the Tatami Galaxy and it's sequel Tatami Mat Time Travel Blues, the first being a fascinating exploration of what living a truly good and enjoyable life means, and the second being a strange exploration on time travel set through the lens of trying to fix a stupid air conditioner.
These were some fun recommendations, def adding a few to the watch list. As for suggestions I always recommend Given (the music is excellent, music animation is solid imo and it’s a really beautiful story about love and grief) A movie I’d recommend is Stranger by the Shore (another grief one but also about identity and depression and fundamentally love) Also I will always recommend Trigun Stampede (with Stargaze coming it will be longer than the 1st season) it’s just a really interesting adaptation that goes back to the creator/source material and does things a bit differently which I really respect. Plus the facial animations are a technical marvel; no one does it like Studio Orange.
I tried watching it recently because people always say it's great, but after 2-3 episodes I wasn't particularly engaged. Does it get better later or is it just not for me?
@@arcerey It's probably just not for you. Despite loving Monogatari and many other stories that require a bit of thinking, it didn't click with me after 5 episodes. I tried sub and dub, and I just didn't care much for any of the characters. Great sound track and aesthetic, but I had absolutely zero investment. The mystery elements didn't call to me either.
@@minorikaemon4881 thanks! Yeah... Sometimes it just happens that you don't like an otherwise popular thing. I have a few other unconventional opinions regarding acclaimed animes, makes me feel like a snob. But then I remember I like trashy isekais so it kinda balances out lol
I would love to see more videos like this one! Watching seasonal anime is fun, but for me, one of the greater joys you can get as an somewhat jaded anime fan is watching some random show from 15 years ago that nobody talks about these days and realizing that it’s the kind of amazing banger that got you into anime way back when in the first place. So as some recommendations for the next video, the number 1 short anime I recommend is definitely Odd Taxi. But you’ve talked about that show a ton, so my other choice is Flip Flappers. A gorgeous fever dream of a magical girl (I think?) show with an animation style that feels like a mixture of Shaft and Trigger. The plot has the energy of something like Kill la Kill where it both is utterly insane and also makes perfect sense. Bonus recommendation: ReLife. Just one of the more emotionally mature and enjoyable high school drama/romance stories you see a lot in anime.
It’s 24 episodes but I think one that doesn’t get talked about enough is The Demon Girl Next Door. At first glance it seems like a standard fantasy cute girl gag anime, but it actually has a lot going on underneath the surface. The characters are all incredibly well-realized, and unlike in most gag-type anime, get to grow and change, along with the status quo of the story. I really recommend checking it out!
Reminds me of Romantic Killer. I tried it out and wasn't so sure in the first couple of episodes but it quickly gets into some DEEP themes and isn't as basic about gender and sexuality as it first appears
Here are my short anime recommendations: 1. Barakamon 2. Princess Jellyfish 3. I Can't Understand what my Husband is Saying (It is technically 26 episodes spread over two seasons, but each ep is like 3 mins long) 4. Death Parade 5. Cuticle Detective Inaba 6. Tsuritama 7. The Nerima Diakon Brothers 8. Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun 9. Maria the Virgin Witch 10. Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist (Although I like the 1st half more) 11. Show By Rock 12. Tonari no Seki-Kun (this anime technically has 21 episodes but they are only 7 mins long) If you don't mind watching an anime that is still waiting on a season 2, then I would also recommend: 13. Toliet-Bound Hanako-kun 14. Dorohedoro If you don't mind watching anime with multiple seasons or who are slightly longer, then I'd recommend: 15. Baka and Test 16. Space Dandy 17. Skip Beat 18. Kill la Kill 19. Angelic Layer 20. Ouran Highschool Host Club
Please do more of these!!! I love anime, but so many of the longer form shows just feel so exhausting and daunting. Concise gems like these really hold a special place in my heart! Baccano! is one of my all time favorite anime, period. (and now I really want to go rewatch it :) I haven't really watched much anime at all in a few months, but I will definitely be jumping back in with most of these recommendations!!
I didn't realize people knew about Tokyo Magnitude 8.0! The ending really pissed me off though (not in a bad way, but just in a toying with my emotions kind of way). That's all I can really say though without spoiling it.
I really needed this. I feel like I'm reaching the peak of my anime appreciation with the last few I ended up watching. But when I reach the end of these anime, I often find myself having to decide between re-watching one of my old favorites, or taking a chance with one of the thousands of anime with titles that either say basically nothing of what I'm getting into or absolutely way too much and am more often than not disappointed. These videos give me just enough information to get excited about the ones that tickle my fancy, while not spoiling anything too much.
PLEASE make more of these PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, this format is such a good way to find out about all the anime out there that I have never even heard of but totally should watch.
don’t worry everyone i have baccano on dvd, u can all borrow it 🙂↕️ EDIT: or u can all just come over after school on friday and we can watch it this weekend i already asked my mom she said it’s ok
definitely love that you mentioned madoka magica, i cant believe i waited so long to watch it. it really is such an amazing work of art. im so happy you mentioned ping pong as well, i feel like it is criminally underrated. its one of the few series i actually went along to read the manga of since i liked the anime so much.
I still remember A Place Further Than the Universe fondly, from when you recommended it, years back. Another excellent self-contained 13 episode story for those seeking more!
Don't forget FLCL. The original, not the awful sequels. It's 6 episodes, less than 2 hours in total, and is a lightning-in-the-bottle, once-in-a-lifetime work of sublime art. It's more fun than any show you've seen before, deeper than most on this list, has a killer soundtrack that doubles as an alt-rock album, and will leave you craving more. It is one of a kind, and served as inspiration for everything from Avatar The Last Airbender to Chainsawman. Watch it.
I think he left it off the list because it's such a classic, but yeah my boyish heart needs to see FLCL once a year, and I have the whole soundtrack by The Pillows on spotify.
@@ilay3379 spreading the joy it gives me makes me so happy, if you do check out the sequels keep in mind they're nowhere near as good......but they do have more Pillows music
Thank you so much for this list. Further Anmie i recommend for a part II: - Erased (gotta be in here) - FLCL - Afro Samurai - Terror in Resonance (or Terror in Tokyo) - Devilman Crybaby - Violet Evergarden
There are precious few RUclips creators that inspire me to watch every video the moment they come out - and you are one of them. Most video lists are the same 34 things on loop in various contrived orders. Yours are far better and infinitely better written. Thank you for the list and keep up the good work!
After watching the most recent episode of Sengoku Youko, I finally went back and started rereading the manga. And now I really want to rewatch Planet With, too.
I love your seasonal videos, but I also really enjoy seeing anime recommendations unconstrained by release date. I'm very excited to watch some of these!
this is SUCH a helpful video !! my ADHD won't let me sit down and just watch a thing unless i'm *really* worn out or *really* in the mood for that specific thing, so it is ideal for me to have shows to watch quickly before i burn out on them !! my attention span has been helped by buying slime to fidget with, but i can only slime for so long at a time
This is my dream content. I don't have the strength to go over 3 episode deep title after title myself. There's an undeniable burnout whenever I read plot synopsis and make a judgement on essentially anime's art alone. The concise explanation of what the stuff is about is extremely welcome. Definitely going to check out at least 3 of your recommendations, and thank you.
Fantastic video, definitely adding Punch Line, Appare-Ranman, and Planet With to my watch list. And my recommendation for a future batch if you decide to make this a regular series: Revue Starlight. It's a 12-episode-and-a-sequel-movie masterpiece with great characters, fantastic writing, amazing fight scenes set to some amazing music, and most importantly: a talking giraffe.
Punch line is awesome. I'm so sad that so few people talk about it and get filtered by the apparent stupidity of it all. Since Geoff already said it it's no spoiler, but it really has one of the most satisfying use of timeloop/timetravel I've ever seen across all media.
Every anime you mentioned here that I HAD watched, I had immensely enjoyed. Gotta get the others on the list now! My personal favorite short anime is Acca-13, GOD the political intrigue hits so good that I've seen it like 8 times and picked up a new detail woven in every time.
This was awesome, I got some great recs for shows I have never even heard of before. Usually vids like this only cover shit that is already on my radar. I will definitely be checking out Akudama Drive, and Appare Ranman.
Since you asked for more short recommendations! Ride Back - 12 episodes - Injured ballerina joins motorcycle racing club, except the motorcycles are also transforming mecha, and also politics Angel Beats - 13 episodes (+ OVAs that kinda put it over) - What if high school really is forever?
This is one of my favorite list you've done in a long time and would love to see more. So much so I'm willing to comment, a thing I just don't do on youtube. Also, you should absolutely spotlight older ovas and the like. Golden Boy is perfect for this list.
Great video, Geoff! was really happy to see Golden Boy on this list. a true classic and one of my favorites. also, my wife recommends "Those Snow White Notes" for the next video like this!
Thank you for this. I have been trying to watch delicious dungeon for the past month, but with 24 episodes and not a lot of time during the week except for long binges on weekends. I’ve just been burning out.
Definitely pllease watch that when you have time because it's absolutely amazing!!!! I also waited a long time before watching it.And then when I finally watch it, I couldn't believe I didn't start it earlier!!! It will blow you AWAY!!! 🎉
Punchline was actually the first review by you that told me after watching it, "Oh finally a critic that understands what I need. Something I wouldn't obviously watch that I really need to obviously watch and is in fact correct in that assumption." And you've yet to steer me wrong, scary. There are a few I'm just probably never going to try like some sportsball stuff or just pure IRL romance/herem stuff, but on the few time you've said, "Trust me try this." and I did, I haven't regretted it. So congrats. Keep up the great work and I'll probably rewatch Punchline and finish some of these I slept on.
I actually picked up PS&G like immediately after I finally watched Golden Boy for the first time, so putting them back to back here was 100% the right move.
Pleasantly surprised that I've only watched half of these, and I feel like Baccano definitely deserves a rewatch. I didn't understand it very well the first time around when watching it weekly.
Brother, you can't drop this shit the day after I commit to starting chronologically watching the UC timeline of Gundam, it's like rubbing in the ass numbness i'm in for
Having recently completed the same franchise marathon I can attest to wanting something short & sweet afterwards, or during. Definitely watch something between Zeta and ZZ, it’ll stop your brain stalling out from the tonal gear-shift.
@@Vespuchian I'm far from needing a break, I'm only on episode 7 of the original series and got through origins, I'm vibing with it so far though the MSG has some of those pacing issues we know and love.
Awesome stuff, Geoff. My backlog just got a big helping. Only commenting because I’d definitely love more content for deep cuts and cult classics like this. For next time: Charlotte, Shiki, Blood C, White Album 2, Kiznaiver… all 2010s series that are worth resurfacing for those who never saw them and those who’ve already forgotten them
Finally! Madoka! Edit: I'm so grateful to finally see you talk about it in more detail. Also you put some other top tier choices on here like Ping Pong, Akudama Drive, and Planet With.
Got really surprised when i saw it here considering it's one of the shows that you'd watch over the weekend and have depression and existential crisis for the following week. Agree with everything tho, it really is a great show.
This is exactly what I needed for my burnout. Anime and general burnout 😅 I find myself watching more anime movies and ovas. Especially those of long running shows. My 13-episode recommendation would be Paradise Kiss. A rom-drama about fashion students. Based on the manga by Ai Yazawa (Nana).
I’ll be honest with you, my plan is try it both ways, to see how doing that affects view retention. I’d love to do it this way every time, but I don’t get paid for people reading the description sadly
@mothersbasement Yeah, I get that. I still watch through to get a feel for the shows, but it's nice not having to skip back to the few seconds where the title is shown to find the obscure Japanese title that I can't remember.
Don't forget Iroduku: World of Colors. That anime is a masterpiece and it's because of Geoff I even found out about it...But it's sad people slept on that anime...It was one of the best animes of the 2010's. It's because of Geoff I was recommended to such great anime that wasn't even on my radar. Also another recommendation that I got from Geoff is "I am the Villainess so I am taming the final boss!"
Thumbnail alone reminded me of 2013 when my sister went on vacation, mom was in the hospital, and I pretty much had a whole house to myself. Spent those 5 glorious days watching the entirety of Xam'd and Baccano.
This...this is the fucking...this is what I needed. I doubt you'll see this in your horde of comments, but thank you. My biggest burnout with anime is "Will I ever see even another season of this, let alone the end." Having a list of bangers that are FINISHED that I can see? Perfection. I can't wait to start down this list, thank you sir.
i'd love for you to do a video on the whole gridman universe, i love the way it goes about showing the grief of characters and their journey to healing, i feel like dynazenon was criminally underwatched for some reason
As fantastic a series as Katanagatari is, I would say that it being 12 double-length episodes (so essentially 24 episodes of total runtime) is a bit too long to be in one of these 'binge it in a weekend" lists.
Woah, I forgot Katanagatari! I need to watch that again, I remember the story being way more touching than the style leads you to expect. Thanks for bringing it back to mind.
Geoff, your dedication to Planet With is everything to ME!!! I watched that show back when it was airing and I still think about it to this day. I genuinely think it has the greatest use of a timeskip of all time. I'm overdue for a rewatch but yeah. So glad to see you still standing by it!!!
You had me at Baccano! which doesn't get the love it deserves but then you also put Golden Boy on there and then I knew there was a reason I respected you.

Baccano! is probably my all-time favorite anime for sheer inventivenes, charm, and humor. My friends surprised me with it one Saturday and it's stuck with me for thirteen years now. I've always had a bias toward the short form anime, where they have a crystal clear vision and deliver consistency in episode and after episode. If I were to actually name my 10 faves, I'm pretty sure 80% of the list would have episode counts under 40.
Planet With is an anime that sees Gurren Lagann's 27 episode run time, takes a deep pull from a cigarette, and says "Fuck it, we'll do it in 12". If that comparison has you even remotely intrigued, do yourself a favor and check it out.
I am deeply intrigued
And with that, you've sold me on Planet With.
Oooo wow! Okay, that DOES have me intrigued!!! Gurren Lagan is one of my favorite anime I watched with my brother...🥹
As someone who had their love of anime just about defined by Gurren Lagann, you've got my attention.
It's an absolute watch, but it's definitely not TTGL. TTGL kinda pushed the envelope when it comes to expanding the scope rapidly, and also it's pretty hard to match some of the feels from TTGL. Maybe it's due to the big brother passing the mantle dynamic, but TTGL stands alone even though it's not my #1.
Baccano! is such a gem. Fantastic characters, trippy plots, great comedy relief, and one of most amazing displays of love around. I gave it a shot for the interesting setting, was drawn in by the mystery on the train, and ended up loving so many of the characters.
And you sold me on Punch Line, Akudama Drive, Appare-Ranman, and Planet With. They're on my to watch list now.
Golden Boy is much like Panty & Stocking in that you might have to watch a few eps and take a break to let you mind quit boggling for a bit.
For other short length anime - Kino's Journey is one of the first to spring to mind as the original series is so underrated
15 Shows I recommend (13 or less eps):
1) Land of the Lustrous
2) Ping Pong the Animation
3) Kino's Journey (2003)
4) Mononoke
5) The Tatami Galaxy
6) A Place Further Than the Universe
7) Odd Taxi
8) Gunbuster
9) Gundam: The Origin
10) Sonny Boy
11) Area 88
12) Heike Monogatari
13) Haibane Renmei
14) Heavenly Delusion
15) Serial Experiments Lain
Bonus: Naoki Urasawa's Pluto
Odd Taxi is a damn slapper🤌🏿
Underrated masterpieces on this list
shout out to you for including serial experiments rain and HAIBANe RENMEI!
I feel like no one has seen Haibane renmei and i was staring to think i dreamt it
Land of the Lustrous is my favorite anime
Edit- also Heavenly Delusion is a painfully underrated masterpiece
fucking banging list lol like literally all classics
Some recommendations:
1. Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (11 episodes)
2. Hinamatsuri (12 episodes) - Story doesn't end and unfortunately never got a 2nd season, however, it is mainly comedy so worth watching even if you won't continue with the manga.
3. A Place Further Than The Universe (13 episodes)
4. Death Parade (12 episodes)
5. Land of the Lustrous (12 episodes) - Doesn't end in a very satisfying way and unfortunately never got a 2nd season. I believe it is still worth watching though.
Yeah, Death Parade was a seriously strong contender. If it were up to me it would have made the list.
Hinamatsuri and death parade are absolute peak
Anohana overrated tho
I see Baccano!, I click.
If anybody hasn't seen Baccano!, it's very much worth the hunt (if you can handle the gore. What was showing the video is just a taste of it).

Lost it with the "getting a job at a pool and learning to swim after" gag because I have seen that play out in my old lifeguarding days, not once, but twice in a single year.
No lie, Golden Boy is a good time. It knows how dumb and perverted it is, but there's actually a lot of heart in it.
You never cease in giving banger recs. I'm 2 episodes into Kids on the Slope and I'm already obsessed. Please make another video like this!
Praise be to Kanna-sama!
It's the anime I recommend to anyone just for the music alone. Got emotional in the final scene.
Please continue this series. As a 30-ish year old man stuck in a 9 to 5 from Monday to Friday, these "weekend bingeable" animes are what I've been looking for exactly. Thanks for the list! Definitely gonna check out the ones I haven't seen yet.
Madoka felt like such an EVENT when it was broadcasting. It may just be because it was a pretty formative time for me in general so the year stands out in my mind, but I honestly can't remember any anime since completely dominating internet discourse the way Madoka did in 2011.
Speaking of 2011, my top pick for anime to binge in a weekend is Anohana. Just make sure you have enough tissues on hand.
I loved the concept and style; the witch mazes were so cool and bizarre, but I wanted to strangle Madoka the whole time.
And you can't forget Morning Rescue!
Oh God, I bawled my eyes out during the last two episodes of Anohana! I'm surprised that that one wasn't on here, since Geoff is the one who got me to watch it in the first place.
Was overjoyed to hear my music in this while looking for some good short shows, thank you! ❤
I listened to the album like 6 times while I was editing, couldn't help but put it in
Hell yeah appreciate it!
My favorite short anime I've ever watched is FLCL. Only six episodes long and an absolutely killer soundtrack. A story that moves so fast and throws so much at you that you that my first watch just made me say "I have no idea what I just saw, but I loved it." The wildest thing was, after some time and a rewatch, everything is really neatly wrapped up and makes total in-universe sense. FLCL airing on Adult Swim was the anime that got me into anime beyond Dragon Ball Z. It rules.
Our family loves your recommendations and we look forward to new videos. Thanks!
Glad I can help you plan your family anime night
Fun Fact: A Victorian Gentleman Thief, Wild West Gunslinger, Samurai, and retired French Pirate (from the Golden age of piracy in the Caribbean) could have theoretically all sat in the same room together and I'm annoyed no one has done anything with that idea yet.
Great list! I would add Keep Your Hands off Eizoken, Hinamatsuri, Vivy Flourite Eyes, Planetarian, Death Parade, Insomniacs after School, Skip & Loafer, Gundam 0080/ The 08th MS Team/Thunderbolt, Deca-Dence, ID: Invaded, Bubblegum Crisis and Cyberpunk Edgerunners
OMG thank you for giving Akudama Drive more attention. That series is severely underrated especially how its director went on to make Bleach 1000 YBW
Yes
it's so goddamn cool
I watched when it came up and it deserved more weekly discussion >:(
How did it become severely underrated especially with that?
@@7792pnaurfrit came out at the same season as jjk s1
Dude, this is aweseome!
My wife and I are rewatching Bleach right now (or rather, I am rewatching, she sees it for the first time) and even without the filler - with a full time job, Gaming as a main hobby and a one-year-old - we're at episode 160 and are on this for MONTHS now.... that's no fun, honestly.
Getting awesome recommendations of anime that are DONE and can be watched in a short amount of time is a BLESSING for us. Thank you so much!
Kids on a slope is a must and the music is amazing. I still listen to the music to this day.
As a father with a full time job and not as much free time as I used to have…… I appreciate this
Oh wow kids on the slope mentioned, this is one of my favorites that seems to be mostly forgotten these days. Glad it’s getting some love
It was literally the 2nd show that came to mind for me when I saw the subject
I remember ign anime club talking it up. Still on my to watch list.
@@ShadowDuskSky where can I find it? Is it on any streaming services, that you know of?
Geoff, I’ve been subbed to your channel for a while now and out of all the lists you’ve provided, this is DEFINITELY your best one. Every single entry is ah absolute certified fucking banger!
I haven't really cared about keeping up with seasonal anime in a while, so this video's format is actually really good for me. More deep cut high quality recommendations please!
Hell yeah, Akudama Drive and Appare Ranman are wayyyyy too underrated, love to see them here.
As for other Short anime recs, I semi-recently watched Land of the Lustrous, and even though it's technically an unfinished adaptation, it's too beautiful not to mention. Plus, the manga is god damn soul shatteringly good, so I'll recommend that too.
Geoff, I want you to know that I spent the entire video going "wait, what about Planet With?" And then when you said Appare Ranman was the 'penultimate' one and the last one _wasn't_ Planet With I was genuinely confused. So, you know, you got me, well done.
I love Planet With, it's one of my favorite mecha anime of 2018. Along with Bang Brave Bang Bravern is one of my favorite yaoi mecha anime of 2024, and it's even much better than between Metallic Rouge and Synduality Noir. But, I just can't wait to see Mecha-Ude on October 4th, yeah!?
I’m going through and watching everything on this list, very good video! Please make more like this it’s very perfect
Going to shout out Kyousougiga here. An absolutely wonderful and genuinely moving family drama disguised as a surreal science-fantasy action-comedy with some incredibly dynamic and colourful animation and excellent character writing, all helmed by the immensely talented Rie Matsumoto. It's only ten episodes long (the extras aren't necessary), so you can bang it out in an afternoon if you're sufficiently tenacious. It may seem a bit esoteric at first, but trust me, just roll with it and it will change you.
yeah Kyousougiga gotta be in a follow-up to this video, especially considering what was recommended here. Kyousougiga made me cry by the end almost as much as Violet Evergarden while being almost as crazy visually as Flip Flappers (which itself deserves a highlight, but Kyousougiga deserves it more for being substantially more obscure). also nobody ever talks about it but the OP is one of my favorites ever.
Akudama Drive was AMAZING, Baccano has been on my list to watch forever (and is now ready to do so), and damnit, with how passionately you push it, you've finally convinced me, I'm also grabbing Planet With. THANKS, Geoff, now look what you've done to my week!
...Seriously, thanks!
One thing a lot of people don't mention that I think perfectly fits into this category is the Tatami Galaxy and it's sequel Tatami Mat Time Travel Blues, the first being a fascinating exploration of what living a truly good and enjoyable life means, and the second being a strange exploration on time travel set through the lens of trying to fix a stupid air conditioner.
Cool!!!!
These were some fun recommendations, def adding a few to the watch list.
As for suggestions I always recommend Given (the music is excellent, music animation is solid imo and it’s a really beautiful story about love and grief)
A movie I’d recommend is Stranger by the Shore (another grief one but also about identity and depression and fundamentally love)
Also I will always recommend Trigun Stampede (with Stargaze coming it will be longer than the 1st season) it’s just a really interesting adaptation that goes back to the creator/source material and does things a bit differently which I really respect. Plus the facial animations are a technical marvel; no one does it like Studio Orange.
BACCANO MENTIONED, ABSOLUTELY GOATED
I will preach the word of Baccano, forever.
I tried watching it recently because people always say it's great, but after 2-3 episodes I wasn't particularly engaged. Does it get better later or is it just not for me?
@@arcerey It's probably just not for you. Despite loving Monogatari and many other stories that require a bit of thinking, it didn't click with me after 5 episodes. I tried sub and dub, and I just didn't care much for any of the characters. Great sound track and aesthetic, but I had absolutely zero investment. The mystery elements didn't call to me either.
@@minorikaemon4881 thanks! Yeah... Sometimes it just happens that you don't like an otherwise popular thing. I have a few other unconventional opinions regarding acclaimed animes, makes me feel like a snob. But then I remember I like trashy isekais so it kinda balances out lol
wth you talk exactly like i do
I would love to see more videos like this one! Watching seasonal anime is fun, but for me, one of the greater joys you can get as an somewhat jaded anime fan is watching some random show from 15 years ago that nobody talks about these days and realizing that it’s the kind of amazing banger that got you into anime way back when in the first place.
So as some recommendations for the next video, the number 1 short anime I recommend is definitely Odd Taxi. But you’ve talked about that show a ton, so my other choice is Flip Flappers. A gorgeous fever dream of a magical girl (I think?) show with an animation style that feels like a mixture of Shaft and Trigger. The plot has the energy of something like Kill la Kill where it both is utterly insane and also makes perfect sense.
Bonus recommendation: ReLife. Just one of the more emotionally mature and enjoyable high school drama/romance stories you see a lot in anime.
It’s 24 episodes but I think one that doesn’t get talked about enough is The Demon Girl Next Door. At first glance it seems like a standard fantasy cute girl gag anime, but it actually has a lot going on underneath the surface. The characters are all incredibly well-realized, and unlike in most gag-type anime, get to grow and change, along with the status quo of the story. I really recommend checking it out!
Reminds me of Romantic Killer. I tried it out and wasn't so sure in the first couple of episodes but it quickly gets into some DEEP themes and isn't as basic about gender and sexuality as it first appears
Here are my short anime recommendations:
1. Barakamon
2. Princess Jellyfish
3. I Can't Understand what my Husband is Saying (It is technically 26 episodes spread over two seasons, but each ep is like 3 mins long)
4. Death Parade
5. Cuticle Detective Inaba
6. Tsuritama
7. The Nerima Diakon Brothers
8. Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun
9. Maria the Virgin Witch
10. Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist (Although I like the 1st half more)
11. Show By Rock
12. Tonari no Seki-Kun (this anime technically has 21 episodes but they are only 7 mins long)
If you don't mind watching an anime that is still waiting on a season 2, then I would also recommend:
13. Toliet-Bound Hanako-kun
14. Dorohedoro
If you don't mind watching anime with multiple seasons or who are slightly longer, then I'd recommend:
15. Baka and Test
16. Space Dandy
17. Skip Beat
18. Kill la Kill
19. Angelic Layer
20. Ouran Highschool Host Club
Video Idea: Top Ten Brainrot Anime Worth Watching
Shikonokonoko koshitan tan
This is a phenomenal idea, I second it.
Here here, a truly lovely idea
School days
Isn't that just the hottest trash videos?
Please do more of these!!! I love anime, but so many of the longer form shows just feel so exhausting and daunting. Concise gems like these really hold a special place in my heart! Baccano! is one of my all time favorite anime, period. (and now I really want to go rewatch it :) I haven't really watched much anime at all in a few months, but I will definitely be jumping back in with most of these recommendations!!
Some short ones off the top of my head
-Zankyou no Terror
-Anohana
-Daily Lives of Highschool Boys
-Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
-Tsuki ga Kire
-Asobi Asobase
I second Daily Lives of High School Boys
That show is fucking hysterical.
Hell yeah, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0! I don't see enough people talk about that anime.
I didn't realize people knew about Tokyo Magnitude 8.0! The ending really pissed me off though (not in a bad way, but just in a toying with my emotions kind of way). That's all I can really say though without spoiling it.
I really needed this. I feel like I'm reaching the peak of my anime appreciation with the last few I ended up watching. But when I reach the end of these anime, I often find myself having to decide between re-watching one of my old favorites, or taking a chance with one of the thousands of anime with titles that either say basically nothing of what I'm getting into or absolutely way too much and am more often than not disappointed. These videos give me just enough information to get excited about the ones that tickle my fancy, while not spoiling anything too much.
Seeing Baccano and Golden Boy here warmed my anomalous heart 😌🙏
Study study study study study..... Golden Boy was so fun.
PLEASE make more of these PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, this format is such a good way to find out about all the anime out there that I have never even heard of but totally should watch.
don’t worry everyone i have baccano on dvd, u can all borrow it 🙂↕️
EDIT: or u can all just come over after school on friday and we can watch it this weekend i already asked my mom she said it’s ok
Thankyou my address is...
Fill in the blank
Worry not, as there are many who have "shared" their dvds and blu-rays for all who wish to give a cursory google search.
I can pick it up if you give me your address. 😂😅
DVD? What is this DVD technology?
We have a thing called streaming
@@Jimmy-p9n so find it on streaming
Getting a little burned out on seasonal lately, getting curated recs like this is really valuable. Thanks for making this!
Dude punch line is way better than I was expecting so stupid but it just makes sense for some reason
definitely love that you mentioned madoka magica, i cant believe i waited so long to watch it. it really is such an amazing work of art. im so happy you mentioned ping pong as well, i feel like it is criminally underrated. its one of the few series i actually went along to read the manga of since i liked the anime so much.
I still remember A Place Further Than the Universe fondly, from when you recommended it, years back. Another excellent self-contained 13 episode story for those seeking more!
Great idea for a series! I look forward to more excellent recommendations, and had no idea that PSG had a sequel coming out.
Don't forget FLCL. The original, not the awful sequels.
It's 6 episodes, less than 2 hours in total, and is a lightning-in-the-bottle, once-in-a-lifetime work of sublime art. It's more fun than any show you've seen before, deeper than most on this list, has a killer soundtrack that doubles as an alt-rock album, and will leave you craving more. It is one of a kind, and served as inspiration for everything from Avatar The Last Airbender to Chainsawman. Watch it.
guy has no good taste. FLCL is a must watch
I think he left it off the list because it's such a classic, but yeah my boyish heart needs to see FLCL once a year, and I have the whole soundtrack by The Pillows on spotify.
I just finished watching it and i had a blast
@@ilay3379 spreading the joy it gives me makes me so happy, if you do check out the sequels keep in mind they're nowhere near as good......but they do have more Pillows music
@@MindlessTube as are some of the others on this list, baccano is super cool, and punchline took me by surprise
Thank you so much for this list.
Further Anmie i recommend for a part II:
- Erased (gotta be in here)
- FLCL
- Afro Samurai
- Terror in Resonance (or Terror in Tokyo)
- Devilman Crybaby
- Violet Evergarden
Deadass got a Paris Olympics add exactly after the "how do you like my swimming" gag. I shit you not.
That’s so lmao
Buhahaha!!!
That's awesome! 😂😂😂
"How do you like my breakdancing?"
There are precious few RUclips creators that inspire me to watch every video the moment they come out - and you are one of them.
Most video lists are the same 34 things on loop in various contrived orders. Yours are far better and infinitely better written.
Thank you for the list and keep up the good work!
Golden Boy holds a special nostalgic place in my heart, the dub is so over the top, it was peak comedy in high school.
After watching the most recent episode of Sengoku Youko, I finally went back and started rereading the manga. And now I really want to rewatch Planet With, too.
Love this video concept.
My most recent fav short tear-jerker is Tonari no Yokai-san. Great characters.
One of my favorite 13 episode anime Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song, absolute banger
Yes
Vivy is 2B/A2 level soulful android waifu
I recommend it's a underrated modern masterpiece
That one was fantastic.
As you like my pleasure
I love your seasonal videos, but I also really enjoy seeing anime recommendations unconstrained by release date. I'm very excited to watch some of these!
this is SUCH a helpful video !! my ADHD won't let me sit down and just watch a thing unless i'm *really* worn out or *really* in the mood for that specific thing, so it is ideal for me to have shows to watch quickly before i burn out on them !! my attention span has been helped by buying slime to fidget with, but i can only slime for so long at a time
I love your rec videos, so something I can throw on the list and convince my anime watch buddy to just watch on a Saturday is great.
BACCANO MENTIONED 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 aka the best opening song of all time
This is my dream content. I don't have the strength to go over 3 episode deep title after title myself. There's an undeniable burnout whenever I read plot synopsis and make a judgement on essentially anime's art alone. The concise explanation of what the stuff is about is extremely welcome. Definitely going to check out at least 3 of your recommendations, and thank you.
I wake up 30 minutes early to watch 1 episode of anime before work
This helped me find some really excellent shows to watch while sick and mostly bedridden. Thank you Geoff I needed this.
Fantastic video, definitely adding Punch Line, Appare-Ranman, and Planet With to my watch list. And my recommendation for a future batch if you decide to make this a regular series: Revue Starlight. It's a 12-episode-and-a-sequel-movie masterpiece with great characters, fantastic writing, amazing fight scenes set to some amazing music, and most importantly: a talking giraffe.
Punch line is awesome. I'm so sad that so few people talk about it and get filtered by the apparent stupidity of it all. Since Geoff already said it it's no spoiler, but it really has one of the most satisfying use of timeloop/timetravel I've ever seen across all media.
Every anime you mentioned here that I HAD watched, I had immensely enjoyed. Gotta get the others on the list now! My personal favorite short anime is Acca-13, GOD the political intrigue hits so good that I've seen it like 8 times and picked up a new detail woven in every time.
This was awesome, I got some great recs for shows I have never even heard of before. Usually vids like this only cover shit that is already on my radar. I will definitely be checking out Akudama Drive, and Appare Ranman.
Akudama drive was amazing
I like this. Too often recently when an anime finishes it is forgotten.
Since you asked for more short recommendations!
Ride Back - 12 episodes - Injured ballerina joins motorcycle racing club, except the motorcycles are also transforming mecha, and also politics
Angel Beats - 13 episodes (+ OVAs that kinda put it over) - What if high school really is forever?
Ride Back was good... gotta say no one does the Heroic BSOD like Rin
Oh God, I miss Angel Beats so much
This is one of my favorite list you've done in a long time and would love to see more. So much so I'm willing to comment, a thing I just don't do on youtube. Also, you should absolutely spotlight older ovas and the like. Golden Boy is perfect for this list.
Great video, Geoff! was really happy to see Golden Boy on this list. a true classic and one of my favorites.
also, my wife recommends "Those Snow White Notes" for the next video like this!
Thanks for the recommendations. I watched Kids on the Slope in one sitting, now it’s 5am and I feel like a completely different person.
Thank you for this. I have been trying to watch delicious dungeon for the past month, but with 24 episodes and not a lot of time during the week except for long binges on weekends. I’ve just been burning out.
Definitely pllease watch that when you have time because it's absolutely amazing!!!! I also waited a long time before watching it.And then when I finally watch it, I couldn't believe I didn't start it earlier!!! It will blow you AWAY!!! 🎉
Punchline was actually the first review by you that told me after watching it, "Oh finally a critic that understands what I need. Something I wouldn't obviously watch that I really need to obviously watch and is in fact correct in that assumption." And you've yet to steer me wrong, scary. There are a few I'm just probably never going to try like some sportsball stuff or just pure IRL romance/herem stuff, but on the few time you've said, "Trust me try this." and I did, I haven't regretted it. So congrats. Keep up the great work and I'll probably rewatch Punchline and finish some of these I slept on.
I actually picked up PS&G like immediately after I finally watched Golden Boy for the first time, so putting them back to back here was 100% the right move.
Pleasantly surprised that I've only watched half of these, and I feel like Baccano definitely deserves a rewatch. I didn't understand it very well the first time around when watching it weekly.
Brother, you can't drop this shit the day after I commit to starting chronologically watching the UC timeline of Gundam, it's like rubbing in the ass numbness i'm in for
Having recently completed the same franchise marathon I can attest to wanting something short & sweet afterwards, or during.
Definitely watch something between Zeta and ZZ, it’ll stop your brain stalling out from the tonal gear-shift.
@@Vespuchian I'm far from needing a break, I'm only on episode 7 of the original series and got through origins, I'm vibing with it so far though the MSG has some of those pacing issues we know and love.
Next up: 150+ episodes of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, almost 50 of Die Neue These and Yamato 2199/2022/3199
@@hitachicordoba Might as well throw in Macross, Galaxy Express 999 and Captain Harlock in there too
@@Ash_Wen-li I'm already up to date on One piece, so I suppose I'll just have to catch up on Detective Conan instead
Awesome stuff, Geoff. My backlog just got a big helping. Only commenting because I’d definitely love more content for deep cuts and cult classics like this.
For next time: Charlotte, Shiki, Blood C, White Album 2, Kiznaiver… all 2010s series that are worth resurfacing for those who never saw them and those who’ve already forgotten them
Finally! Madoka!
Edit: I'm so grateful to finally see you talk about it in more detail. Also you put some other top tier choices on here like Ping Pong, Akudama Drive, and Planet With.
Got really surprised when i saw it here considering it's one of the shows that you'd watch over the weekend and have depression and existential crisis for the following week.
Agree with everything tho, it really is a great show.
He's talked about it before, a way while back I believe. I also like seeing people mentioning it, it's an amazing anime
This is exactly what I needed for my burnout. Anime and general burnout 😅 I find myself watching more anime movies and ovas. Especially those of long running shows.
My 13-episode recommendation would be Paradise Kiss. A rom-drama about fashion students. Based on the manga by Ai Yazawa (Nana).
Liked, for finally putting the show names in the timestamp
I’ll be honest with you, my plan is try it both ways, to see how doing that affects view retention. I’d love to do it this way every time, but I don’t get paid for people reading the description sadly
@mothersbasement Yeah, I get that. I still watch through to get a feel for the shows, but it's nice not having to skip back to the few seconds where the title is shown to find the obscure Japanese title that I can't remember.
Don't forget Iroduku: World of Colors. That anime is a masterpiece and it's because of Geoff I even found out about it...But it's sad people slept on that anime...It was one of the best animes of the 2010's. It's because of Geoff I was recommended to such great anime that wasn't even on my radar.
Also another recommendation that I got from Geoff is "I am the Villainess so I am taming the final boss!"
Thumbnail alone reminded me of 2013 when my sister went on vacation, mom was in the hospital, and I pretty much had a whole house to myself. Spent those 5 glorious days watching the entirety of Xam'd and Baccano.
Xam'd!! Oh my god my old beloved, what an excellent short series ❤️
This...this is the fucking...this is what I needed. I doubt you'll see this in your horde of comments, but thank you. My biggest burnout with anime is "Will I ever see even another season of this, let alone the end." Having a list of bangers that are FINISHED that I can see? Perfection. I can't wait to start down this list, thank you sir.
Time to rewatch ping pong i guess
Every day is a good day to rewatch Ping Pong ngl
So freaking good, the last 2 episodes get me so hyped, and the ending theme is dope.
Thanks for pointing the good dubs. I've been lately getting into dubs and this kind of stuff helps :)
10/10 series premise. Would watch a ton more of these.
Seconding this
Baccano front and center on the thumbnail 🗣️🗣️🗣️ DESERVED
Good to see Punch Line! represent. Loved that series.
i'd love for you to do a video on the whole gridman universe, i love the way it goes about showing the grief of characters and their journey to healing, i feel like dynazenon was criminally underwatched for some reason
Golden Boy mention let's gooo. This video was fantastic thanks for the recs, please make another!
Study study study study
This was a great video. I added 7 of them to my watchlist, and I'd love to see more videos like this
The best show I've seen that no one talks about is katanagatari. Unique art style and very moving plot in a tight season.
As fantastic a series as Katanagatari is, I would say that it being 12 double-length episodes (so essentially 24 episodes of total runtime) is a bit too long to be in one of these 'binge it in a weekend" lists.
Woah, I forgot Katanagatari! I need to watch that again, I remember the story being way more touching than the style leads you to expect. Thanks for bringing it back to mind.
Geoff, your dedication to Planet With is everything to ME!!! I watched that show back when it was airing and I still think about it to this day. I genuinely think it has the greatest use of a timeskip of all time. I'm overdue for a rewatch but yeah. So glad to see you still standing by it!!!
Definitely going to check out a couple of these. KADO: The Right Answer is a great short watch as well. :)
i'm glad someone else watched that show!
@@cyechan50 It is incredibly underrated! I just started a rewatch. 😊
You had me at Baccano! which doesn't get the love it deserves but then you also put Golden Boy on there and then I knew there was a reason I respected you.
