Anyone got any good 12-episode anime’s to watch? I’ve seen mostly normie shonens

I have a lot, but I'll try and limit myself! :laugh:

Here are some of my personal favourites, across a few different genres and demographics (with links to synopses on Anime-Planet):

Buddy Daddies
Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut
A Sign of Affection
Death Parade
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers

Or if it was shounen in particular you'd like more of, here's a few that only run for 12 eps:

Kemono Jihen
Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
Barakamon
Etotama
Astra Lost in Space

Those *should* all be available on Crunchyroll.

If nothing there takes your interest, or you want more tailored recommendations, let me know the kind of series you'd like and I'd be happy to try again. :biggrin:

Started Mushishi, 9/11

I don't get what you mean exactly, but I guess it is an expression of disapproval.

Thanks a lot! My top anime are:

Bleach
JoJo’s
One piece
HxH
Kaiji: Ultimate survivor
Monster
Baki
Gintama

Starting uni soon so I don’t have infinite free time to binge so I’m looking for some nicely paced 12-episode shows. If you know any good shows like these I’m blessed 😁

That's a great list! :biggrin:

Kakegurui is a 12 episode series (not counting the sequel, and spin-off) with a high-stakes gambling focus, similar to Kaiji, and Death Parade which I suggested earlier fits that description too.

I can't think of any really good matches for the rest, as they're quite long (or in the case of JoJo's, just very unique!), it's hard to get the level of plot and character depth from a series like Monster into a short runtime. :sadnod:

Maybe Pluto, from the same creator as Monster? It's 8 episodes, but they're about an hour long each. I haven't gotten around to the anime yet myself, but the manga is one of my all-time favourites.

Hello! Here are a few suggestions:

Delicious in Dungeon (Gag comedy for the most part, but it has a surprisingly good plot and worldbuilding; one of my favourites of this year).
Mob Psycho 100 (Another great series that balances comedy, drama and action).
Hell's Paradise (For the top quality fight scenes from MAPPA, the same studio as Jujutsu Kaisen).
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (More shounen action... I can only describe it as a unique experience, well worth experiencing).
Blue Period (Ending on a bit of a wildcard, different to the others you've mentioned! Psychological drama about aspiring artists).

Forgot to post here, but my autumn anime preview thread is up! :blow:

https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7527345

New shows have now started airing, but I'm super busy at the moment, so my first ep review posts probably won't start until next week. :colondollar:

The remake to Ranma 1/2 is released soon and that is the intro to this:

Admittedly, it is not bad at all. Your thoughts?

I didn't get around to watching the Ranma remake in the end, I might try and watch the earlier anime adaptations first. That opening theme is really good, though!

The opening is just a catchy song in my ears. Is this the J-pop so many young people talk about?

I did not plan it to watch the remake to Ranma 1/2, however I randomly learnt that the anime is aired on netflix, so I cast a glance and can't complain! the modern animation compared with comic elements make this one special in any case.
