Favourite Short Series & OVA's

Gray · September 29th, 2009, 08:35 AM

So i've said before that I mostly just watch longer titles, however I have a couple of short ones that are long time favourites of mine. For me, it would have to be Blue Submarine No. 6 which was a 4 episode OVA, with each episode being 30 minutes. Followed by that FLCL which was 6 episodes at 30 minutes each.

That's Read or Die right? I was never a fan of that series but I swear I remember it being on TV when Toonami was still playing the good stuff, and I thought it was a regular length series.

Yeah Read or Die. It was originally a 3 episode OVA. They created a 26 episode series called R.O.D. TV that's similar, but it stars different characters and is less action packed.

-Golden Boy

-Tenchi Muyo OVA, although I dont really call it an OVA since 13 eps is basically a short series

I prefer shorter series, in many cases. FLCL's getting a good showing here, so I'll mention two favorites of mine that haven't yet been mentioned:

- Puni Puni Poemy (2 episodes)
- All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku OAV (6 episodes)
