I'm visiting friends at Aberystwyth next week, who happen to be the president and VP of the anime society there, and they've asked me for help finding short episode length anime series - aside from
Senyuu, they've just been recycling the same few shows every year or two (
Detroit Metal City,
Gag Manga Biyori - both of which I originally screened in my year on committee
-
Cromartie High School and
Astro Fighter Sunred), and want some new ideas.
I've got a few ideas of my own (
Rec,
Nyanpire,
Di Gi Charat,
Kimagure Robot etc), and am planning on trying a few others from recent seasons between now and my visit (starting with
Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san), but if anyone has any other suggestions I'll look into them.
For Aberanime purposes, a 'short' should usually be ~10 minutes per episode or shorter, and 13 episodes or less (though if the episodes are only 5 minutes long, they could show two per screening, allowing for up to 26 episodes etc).
The following series have been tried before, and were so unpopular they've effectively been blacklisted, due to the horror stories passed down from committee member to committee member (though I liked all the ones I saw).
