Your Lie In April has 22 episodes, just two more than what you were looking for.

Stein;s Gate has 24 episodes if you don't include Stein;s Gate 0 (which is a sort of alternative story).

Elfen Lied has 13 episodes.

Izetta: The Last Witch has 12 episodes.

The Angel Next Door has 12 episodes so far, but is getting another season in 2026 (the first season has a very nice, conclusive ending though).

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian also has 12 episodes so far, but is getting another season in 2026, however, the ending of season 1 is far more of a "to be continued" ending than Angel Next Door.

ID Invaded is a pretty good sci-fi crime thriller. It's kind of like inception.
