April gifted us with two holidays and plenty (or at least some) free time to binge-watch movies, series, and anime . But we don't always want to commit to long-term relationships. After all, sometimes we can't finish all the episodes and have to abandon the season right at the climax. Or worse, we watch the anime and have to wait months, or even years, for a new season. With that in mind, we've listed some short anime to binge-watch during the holidays and guarantee a fun weekend without worry.
These are 5 short anime to watch on holiday
1. Asobi Asobase
Don't be fooled by the opening, Asobi Asobase isn't exactly a cute anime about female friendship. The story is a slice-of-life comedy that follows three friends in the Hobby Club. Unable to join any other clubs at school, the girls create a group where they can do what they love: play games. The humor is often nonsensical and guarantees plenty of laughs. The anime is available on Crunchyroll and has 12 episodes.
2. Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased)
Satoru has a special ability called Revival. It allows him to go back a few seconds in time whenever something bad is about to happen. In this way, Satoru can prevent accidents and tragedies from occurring. However, after the murder of his mother, Satoru ends up returning to his childhood and needs to discover the connection between the past and this horrific crime. The anime is available on Netflix and Crunchyroll, with 12 episodes.
3. Serial Experiments Lain
Serial Experiments Lain is an older cyberpunk anime, but one that's well worth watching. The story begins with the suicide of a girl who sends an email to her classmates saying that she didn't actually die. The girl claims she's on the Wired, a network similar to the internet. Upon receiving the email, Lain begins researching this network and has increasingly strange experiences. The anime is complex and mixes elements of reality with fiction, such as the Roswell case from ufology. The anime is available on Funimation and has 13 episodes.
4. Back Street Girls: Gokudolls
In this anime, Yakuza members make a terrible mistake. To make up for it, they are forced to transform into girls and form an idol group, thus guaranteeing their boss's profits. It's a strange and very funny comedy. The anime is available on Netflix and has 10 episodes.
5. Seishun Buta Yarō wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume o Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai)
Finally, to match the Easter theme, the last anime on the list is Seishun Buta Yarō , which features a girl dressed as a bunny. The story follows student Sakuta Azusagawa, who meets Mai Sakurajima in a library. However, even dressed in an erotic bunny costume, no one seems to notice her. Therefore, Sakuta, the only one who can see her, tries to help Mai return to normal. The anime has 13 episodes and is available on Crunchyroll .
With this list of short anime to binge-watch , you'll definitely have some options to choose from for what to watch during the holiday. So, just grab the popcorn, a blanket, and some chocolate and enjoy!
