This is an early list that I made and quite frankly it's a mess, I decided to make a more comprehensive thematic series, check them out:

- An introduction to short animations
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/29151

- Short animations getting artsy
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/29178

- Short animations getting dark
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/29194

- Short animations getting scientific
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/29216

Order by unpopularity.

These pieces have a harmony, uniqueness or just an x-factor to their overall aesthetic presence, to include music/sound design.

This is not to be confused with animation though. While the two intersect, if something is interesting only for its animation quality, hopefully it's not here.

Feel free to message me if you think I should check something out that could be here. And if you disagree or think there is a better representative of something, let's talk.

Sometimes I get in the mood to watch a short or short series, but have found (much to my dismay) that there are so few good ones and so many truly horrifying ones! This is a list of shorts and short series that I've watched and enjoyed and recommend to those that are looking for something like these to watch.

(the shorts are listed first and then the short series)

just some shorts that do cool things.

A selection of more linear and conventional story telling or just damn good art.
If you want to see how vast the anime world is and explore narratives and art styles that are not part of the mainstream, try them out.

More stacks going deeper in this world:

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions for this stack :)

More visual stuff based on part 1!


This part does not contain the mainstream spam from part 1 (mostly)

good or bad, I'm always down for a short animated film...



average out 10 - 35 mins... under one hour at MOST! order = my favorite to least favorite (top to bottom)

less decisive as the list goes on.

This is simply a stack of interesting anime covers (I use default and alternates).

This is the interest stack version of this AWCc listing (https://myanimelist.net/forum/?goto=post&topicid=1479639&id=58843764) to make it easier to see what I've finished. It was made for my own convenience and is public for your convenience.

There have been some database changes that affect the listing. The ones I have noticed include title and type.
