25 Must-Watch Short Anime Series Under 15 Episodes

One of the main problems of the current generation is commitment.

Getting into a show that has tens or even hundreds of episodes seems daunting: not everyone can finish watching all 76 episodes of Kuroko's Basketball in three days and be done with it, people have work and life and everything else that keeps them away from the screen.

So here we are with the list of the shows that are short enough for that.

Balance is important. Movies sometimes feel too stand-alone, providing just a glimpse into the lives of the characters but not building the solid foundation underneath them.

Series with multiple seasons may feel like they're dragging the plot way too slowly and sometimes even deviating from it in the direction of fillers (don't get us wrong, we think fillers are important if they're applied the right way and we understand why huge anime series have them: it's related to the production process of a manga adaptation).

So having a show that in under 15 episodes can tell you a fully cohesive plot with a solid ending, with proper backstories, with just enough meat on the skeleton of the idea to make it less questionable, is great.
