There are a few other anime that I think might be more deserving, but if you're watching it in a group and marathoning it, some of the other ones might not be suitable. | ||

If just go by one cour (no sequel series) Gundam the 08th MS team Gundam 0080 (both are stand alone) Broken Blade Baccano FLCL Paradise Kiss Serial Experiments Lain Some decent ones but lower tier:: Saishuu Heiki Kanojo Futakoi Alternative Coyote Ragtime Show Ben-To Canaan Onegai Teacher Kamichu Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Kara no Kyoukai movies probably best thing to marathon but it's 10 hour total List of 2 cour shows I think definitely worth marathoning: + Show Spoiler + Last Exile Fate Zero Mushishi Cowboy Bebop Escaflowne Noir Trigun Scrapped Princess Dennou Coil PlanetES | ||

While there are still some pretty awful ones, they usually are due to massive fan base / service. And most of my all time great shows are 2 cour (I actually gave 7 1 cour show 10, but 6 of them are sequels, and the other is 08th MS, which is not exactly standalone either). | ||

While there are still some pretty awful ones, they usually are due to massive fan base / service. And most of my all time great shows are 2 cour. I disagree, although that has changed in recent years (without coincidentally due to the rise in acceptance of the 1cour anime). Proportionally there're a lot more garbage 2cour+ shows than 1cour, and a lot of 2cour+ shows that should have been 1cour. Stuff like Cowboy Bebop and DtB would have been better-suited to be 1cour, for instance, as you'd cut away a lot of the filler. The GitS TV shows likewise should have been straight-up cut into two separate cours, ala FMP and Fumoffu. I also think that a lot of material tends to be better-suited to 1cour, like Lucky Star (funny 4koma for 2 vols), Minamike (likewise), and so on. Of course, that won't stop a studio from milking the cash show, but that's more-or-less the pattern I see. That's why stuff like Danshi Koukousei can go 1cour and be awesome all the way through, while stuff like Nichijou has a tendency to be less-well-received because they had to incorporate a lot of less-funny jokes as filler. | ||

I don't get how you think proportionally there're a lot more garbage 2cour+ shows though. my 8-10 score are pretty even between 1/2 cour (mostly due to there are not many 1 cour before 2002 or so), but 5 and below probably 80%+ 1 cour. http://mal.oko.im/ragzgt/rati The new malgraph rating is very useful lol | ||

Obviously I can only go by what I watched... which is also why score average is like 7, there is no way to watch all the bad stuff out there. | ||

I was wondering if anyone here could recommend some good under 15 episode anime. Doesn't really matter what genre, but just ones which you thought were really good watches. some nice recommendations like what people said above. Baccano! is such a classic, i highly recommend it but tbh i dont think it is everyone's tea. It depends on what genre do you like. Some random recommendations that i can think of: Bento, some good laugh. Book of Bantorra, superpowerfighting in medieval setting, deep story so prepare to get some heartache. Penguindrum, not that epic like baccano but full of nice twists/plots and modern society setting. C]: Control - The Money of Soul and Possibility, i fcking love this, so unique and these characters so moe ~_~ Katanagatari -_,- High school light hearted comedy, Full metal panic season2! Chunibyo <3 kokoro connect, angel beat. Man, i love anime. | ||
