All those short anime

Postby vampko » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:11 am

Since there seem to be a fair influx of anime that run from 3-6 minutes, I felt it appropriate to just make a topic devoted to those sort of anime, so we don't flood the board with them.

Winter Season + others
Spoiler:
The new show to this season :
ImageRecorder and Randsell
A quirky show about a brother and sister with an unusual twist. The brother looks to be an adult, while the sister looks to be a total loli. Yet, the brother is a fifth-grader, and the sister is a second year high-schooler. It's quite the interesting take on things~ Too bad it's only 3 minutes long, but Morita san was short, and yet managed to give heaps of enjoyment. The first episode did just that, and left me with a smile on my face

Next up,
Last season's winner :
ImageMorita-san wa Mukuchi
A show about a girl named Morita who has a problem. She can't manage to converse with words (mainly due to her being indecisive about what to say xD), and this tends to bring in a heap of misunderstandings. Watch as her friends and peers attempt to help her to be more sociable. The cast is quite good, and I loved the whole series ~

Then we have,
The delightful and very colorful :
ImageCopihan
It's random, fun, and very colorful. Though, there's that one episode which manages to be slightly creepy :lol:

And then there was,
Imagehonto ni atta reibai-sensei
Basically it's about a teacher who deals with spirits, and how she messes with the class. Got quite a few laughs outta myself. She also likes cats especially, and there are these talking cats as well. It's pretty random, but works well in short bursts. Which makes sense, considering the length of the episodes :lol:

And then the super adorable,
ImagePoyopoyo
Seemingly too cute for many, this will be a comedy for all ages and types! Follow this unique family and its spherical cat, in a warm-hearted comedy for the winter!


For a change of pace quite the weird show,
ImageThermae Romae
In 128 AD, Lucius is a bathhouse architect in the Ancient Roman Empire. When he loses his job, a friend takes him to a bath to relax. There, he is transported to a bathhouse present-day Japan.


And then there's (taken from myskaros' posts),
Image

Double-J
From wikipedia:
In a school where after school activities are mandatory among all students, Hajime and her friend Sayo come across a new club that they have never seen before. The club is called "The Cultural Activity Preservation Club". The two enter the room to find all kinds of analog jobs and activities, such as handcrafting mats and toothpicks.


Pretty cute, totally random.

Err, this might count more as a web-anime, same with Nyaru-ani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft.
Each episode going at 4 minutes.(Edit by Vampko)

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san

Image

2 seasons of web anime, soon to be followed by an actual full-fledged anime. First season (Haiyoru! Nyaruani) was ~2 minutes per episode, the second season (Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft) was ~4 minutes per episode. Both seasons deal more with random situations involving the main characters rather than following the light novel plot.

The main characters are Nyaruko (short for Nyarlathotep), a Cthulhu alien who assumes the form of a silver-haired girl, and Mahiro, a human boy who takes care of her after being saved from aliens by her.

---

Got a great cast who I hope will reprise their roles for the anime. Just from the character interactions in the ONAs, I'm super excited about the anime.

Pointed out by Leinaud, info found by Daverost,
ImageNyanpire
A heartwarming story about a stray black cat, who was given blood from a vampire. He was taken in by a girl Misaki and started live with her. Nyanpire's favorite phrase is "Give me blood nya."


Summer Season:
Back for another season!
ImageRecorder and Randsell

That round and adorable cat is back for another round!
ImagePoyopoyo

ImageKurmajo-san ga tooru
An entertaining show about an occult experiment gone wrong. But, this is a cute sort of show, and very funny :lol: [7 Minutes/Ep]

ImageGakkatsu!
Quite the entertaining show about zany debates :lol: [5 Mins/Ep]

Back for more colorful hijinks:
ImageCopiphan
It's random, fun, and very colorful. Though, there's that one episode which manages to be slightly creepy :lol:


If anyone thinks of any more, feel free to let me know, and I will add them in the first post

The ones myskaros added were my favorites (though the first Nyaruani was pretty weak, the second was awesome, can't wait for the full series.)

Hated Morita-san. I watched the OVA and didn't like it, then I watch half of its TV run and hated it when they reused the same jokes. I would always end an episode scratching my head and going "That's it? Where's the entertainment?" I would never even crack a smile.
Waiting on the other mk2 avatars.

Added Honto ni Atta Reibai-Sensei. I've been trying to find the name of that show for a while. Luckily I remembered it had a 'sensei' in the title, and was able to search it from there.

I will get to it once i get the chance. Great thing about these sorts of anime, is it doesn't take forever to watch them, so you can get caught up LOTS faster ~

I thought Recorder and Randsell was pretty interesting. A highschool girl with a loli figure is nothing new, but a elementary school kid having the body of an teen/adult? I'm pretty sure not as much :lol: .
Spoiler:
I thought it was hilarious the people around him thought of him as a pedophile when conversing with his friend :D .
I just hope they don't reuse that joke.
Believe in the Future, persist in the Present.
