Short anime series online?

[foxinthestars]

Breaking my silence again with a question....

Can anyone recommend some good 12-episode (or so) anime series on Crunchyroll or Hulu or similar? I'm in the mood to marathon something.

(I really should watch Wandering Son, I know, but I'm shying away from it as a marathon candidate because I expect I'll need to stop and let my eyes un-mist after each episode. Same reason I know I can't marathon Natsume Yuujinchou...)

Otome Youkai Zakuro for period-fantasy-shoujo-kicking-butt, possibly No. 6 if you're more in the mood for techno-mystical-shounen-(really this is very -ai). Weirdly enough, I actually rec Mystical Archives of Dantalian if you want episodic mystery with snark and can tolerate the rather odd transformation sequence. All of those are on Crunchyroll and should not be as demanding as Natsume.

Thanks for the recs! No. 6 was on my radar but not the others, and Otome Youkai Zakuro especially sounds like something I would like. I'm also considering Puella Magi Madoka Magika (got fansubs, it's only *mostly* free on Crunchyroll now), but I understand that one's getting into "how much of a mark do I want this to leave?"

In general I don't keep up on things like I should and it's kind of embarrassing just what I haven't seen yet...

Madoka is brilliant but it's also very demanding.
