Any short anime with one or two seasons?

Hello, could you please recommend some short anime series? It's been a long time since I last watched anime. I can't commit to long-running shows because I've left many of them halfway in the past, and I don't want to repeat that. So I'm looking for short, complete anime that I can finish. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

( No romance, love anime suggestions please!)

Marauder07772026-01-07 19:49

Have watched solo levelling. Currently not in romance genre, either adventure, mystery, action. But not romance!

Comfortable_Top10622026-01-07 22:33

try

Shangri-la frontier, nice action and adventure

Tsue no wistoria, action

Sakurako san no Ashimoto, mistery

BitterClerk64772026-01-07 19:49

Trigun 98 and blue Gender are the ones that pop in my head at the moment

BitterClerk64772026-01-07 19:50

Oh Hellsing as well

Marauder07772026-01-07 19:52

Okay, I will check them out. Also, how's Dan Da Dan?

BitterClerk64772026-01-07 19:55

It's awesome. If you like a combination of action horror comedy . But that one I expected for it to keep going. The ones I gave have like 26 ep and are complete stories because there's s lot of single season anime that end in cliffhanger

Marauder07772026-01-07 19:57

Oh gotcha, thanks!

BitterClerk64772026-01-07 20:01

From Hellsing there's 3 version Hellsing 13 ep Hellsing ultimate 10 ep . I like Hellsing ultimate better 10 ep that have a length of 40-60 min per episode. And Alucard is awesome AF

Chainsaw man is pretty good!

Marauder07772026-01-07 19:52

Have watched it as well. It was good!

Agreeable-Tooth-33452026-01-07 19:54

Wisteria wand and sword. Technically not completed but also haven't heard of there is going to be a second season. It's a fun action/adventure anime.

Another I would suggest is Jujutsu kaisen. It only has two seasons at the moment and technically a third is coming out but it ends in a pretty gnarly way at the end of season 2. Which could just be an ending in itself. So I would suggest this because it's shorter and if nothing else will set you up for the 3rd season when it comes out. It's on par with solo leveling.

Marauder07772026-01-07 19:58

I watched JJK a long time ago and loved it. I'll check out the wisteria one you mentioned!

Agreeable-Tooth-33452026-01-07 20:08

You could also watch Eminence in Shadow. I do believe it is complete and it was quite good. The action is there but it's different. Overall was both good comedy and seriousness all in one. Plus a bit confusing but the confusion just fits with the anime so well.

Marauder07772026-01-07 20:22

Yeah few other people suggested it in comments, will check it out!

Dark_AngeI082026-01-07 19:57

The Eminence in Shadow is a fun one. Pretty much the main character is the perfect aura farmer, and he knows it

carlgauss19952026-01-07 19:57

Promised Neverland

jeanluuc2026-01-07 19:59

Cyberpunk Edgerunners or Violet Evergarden. 12 and 13 eps

Marauder07772026-01-07 20:21

Will check them out, thanks!

Grimlin912026-01-07 20:04

...One piece just ended its first season. I fully recommend it!
😂/jk

Ghost in the shell, Cowboy bebop, trigun, hellsing, witch hunter robin, wolfs rain are all good ones!

guys any site for watching anime i want to watch jobless reincarnation

Friends-Everywhere802026-01-07 20:13

86 - Eighty Six for action and drama. Only 23 episodes

I understand that the manga kept going, but I would say that the last episode of the anime provided some closure. So is not finished, but the story they wanted to tell in the anime pretty much is

Marauder07772026-01-07 20:21

Okay, got it. Will check it out!
