First time anime thread poster (aka newbie) here:
I've seen my fair share of animes but some of them kinda just don't do it for me and I end up giving up on them in the first/first few episodes because they just don't draw me in or I am not paying full attention while watching. Some of these include (and don't hate me...) Blood+, Shugo Chara, One Piece. Does this happen to anyone else?
Also: Just finished the Haruhi movie (fairly good, would recommend people check it out). Suggest a (relatively unknown) short anime series? I've been getting bored lately with free time and I need something to fill the void in my heart that only anime can =)
I'll save the rest of the forum some trouble.
SCHOOL DAYS

Yeah....watch School Days as a rite of passage. + Show Spoiler +A rite I have wisely yet to take. 
What do you consider a short Anime series? What do you like to see in an Anime? And in terms of "relatively unknown" that's hard to gauge too.
Right now, I'm on a Katanagatari love trend. Probably because it was my favorite Anime this year. >.>.
So I'd recommend that.
An anime that's relatively unknown seems to be Bounen no Xam'd. It's actually a pretty kickass series, though one character blatantly pissed the shit out of me that I almost wanted to stop watching. >.>
If you're looking for slice of life like Haruhi...then...
Clannad
Kanon
Air
K-ON! & K-ON!!
Those were made by the same studio that made Haruhi...for some reason I liked them a lot....but I have yet to know why..
Anime that was popular this year it seems was...
The World God Only Knows
Oreimo (don't know the rest of the name)
Durarara!
To Aru Majutsu no Index (lol)
If anyone else has anything to add, that'd be good. Someone had a REALLY GIGANTIC ASS POST a few pages back, so check there too.
And.........yeah....At least these were all that I watched this year.

YOU MUST BECOME BAPTISED IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE POSTING IN THIS THREAD.
For your baptism, you have to watch School Days, shortly followed by Clannad and Clannad:After Story.
If you do not, we will launch a petition to revoke your rights to post in this thread.[/sarcasm]
Putting that aside, short, I assume means ~13 episodes.
I guess:
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (comedy)
Baccano! (action/comedy/life?)
Working!!(comedy)
Angel Beats! (drama/action, but is IMO very sweet)
K-On! (season1 only, for music/moe I guess)
off my MAL list.
If you haven't yet, I would also suggest Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex(but it's 26 episodes).
----------------------------------
Anyway with that put aside also, I just finished Jin-Roh from the charts Spazer put up. It was, well, deep, I guess? Not too much action, the story was multi-layered but required a lot of attention and thinking to understand it fully. Wish they would have added a few more clashes with the Sect group to show off those awesome Fallout-esque suits and weapons.

I like Kyoto Animation shows like Clannad, Air and Kanon but K-ON! was pretty bad IMO and I'm assuming that Nichijou is gonna be shit awful. If you liked the first 3 I mentioned try Angel Beats!. Kyoto Animation only changed Key's visual novels into animes, Angel Beats! is a anime brought to you by Key themselves.
I really don't know what you like but a couple of shows that I've really enjoyed are Noein and Welcome to the NHK. I don't know what you consider short, but they're both like 25 episodes or something. Anything with nice animation + captivating/interesting story is a go for me. I didn't take a good look but I think I'm only interested in Infinite Stratos this 2011 season.
PS: I tried School Days for like 1 episode and gave up. This was right when the show was on air.

Watch School days

School day is a fucking masterpiece, in a bad sense, but still a masterpiece. The main character is something you'll never seen in any other anime, a penis with legs. I couldn't stop laughing from episode 5-6 till the end where i seriously screamed from the exaltation.
Seriously, watch it, it's also only 12 episodes :D
|
Serial experiments lain.
Watch it.
|
I remember School Days.
God. Also fuck Cross Days. don't look into that either (it's not anime though) - -.
Also..
Nice Boat.

Masterpiece is not the word I'd use to describe the series. Entertaining, maybe. But if you're not a fan of NTR, the only redeeming feature of the show is the ending.

It's a masterpiece of trash. Even at the first kiss scene, the main character molest his girl with his hand, the dialogue are absolutely nonsensical, no seriously, it's trash in art form.
|
It's also refreshing to see someone acting realistically (in context to the medium)
+ Show Spoiler +
Mankoto, he died for our sins.

The OP should just say in giant red letters, "WATCH SCHOOL DAYS BEFORE YOU POST IN THIS THREAD OR ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS"

Well, not THAT realistically, but still it's fun to see cynic characters in an harem anime context where usually everyone's a retard :D

School Days is like what the logical conclusion of such Harem/Drama anime should be.

This thread is full of such assholes with all the School Days trolling, lol. So mean!
It really is like a rite of passage, though, isn't it?

Yeah, you could say that too. Harem mechanics into real world -> disaster.
Still, the main character is too much of an asshole and of a retard (sex make babies??? lol) to be realistic :D
