A mysterious fluffy creature called Kanenogi has chosen him as their wife and weirdly, Tomori accepts. And thus starts a strange married life that is quirky!

Jingai-san no Yome deserves to be on this list simply because of its elements of comedy and adorableness. The anime is short with a simple plotline yet still retaining a surprisingly deep story of how real love works in a relationship. This anime also abandons all common anime tropes making it worthwhile if you’re searching for something that is different yet adorable.

Here’s a cute anime for you that has no dialogue! That’s right, Joshikausei is known for its take on comedy that does not rely on dialogue and a lot on its expressions. Join three high school girls, your average Momoko Futo, the cool-headed Shibumi Shirasawa, and the shy and gentle Mayumi Furui on their daily antics that take place through high school!

Joshikausei, for most people, can be a hit or a miss. But we at Honey’s Anime really wanted to include this unique anime in our rankings because there’s something very beautiful about this anime of random and clumsy moments. While the anime is rather known for its erotic moments of thighs and wet clothes, there is so much more to Joshikausei with its funny, goofy yet comfortable, and almost nostalgic moments.

When Ao was in kindergarten, she would not hesitate to explain the origins of her name: “A as in apple and O as in Orgy!” Ten years later, Ao-chan has not escaped the embarrassment of that time of her life. Being a daughter of a best-selling erotic author, Ao-chan just wants to study and get far away from her father and be independent. She has no time to spend seeking boys or other immature pursuits of school life but her classmate, Kijima cannot take that hint. Pursuing her with his love, Ao-chan is plagued by impure thoughts about her classmate even though he has the purest intentions and she realizes it’s all her dad’s influence on her. If only Ao-chan can concentrate and study!

This one is for all the ecchi fans out there! Ao-chan Can’t Study has a very unique and funny plot set in high school. The characters are simple and the plotline is not too deep. As a simple comedy anime, if you want to get caught in Ao-chan’s funny thoughts, check this one out!

Poputepipikku is the story of two high school protagonists—the short and quick to anger Popuko and her opposite, the strangely calm, Pipimi. The anime is known for its take on absurd comedy with many pop cultural references and extremely creative jokes. With parody, drama, action, and crudeness, Pop Team Epic is certainly a ride for anyone who wants to watch it.

This anime deserves to be on this list because of its unique take. It’s very hard to put Pop Team Epic under one box in terms of genre and it certainly lends to its strength. The anime’s random episodes do not follow a definite plotline, making it a very fun anime that one can watch at any time of the day. Another unique element about Pop Team Epic is how each episode has a 12-minute segment that is repeated twice. The repeated segment has a different voice-over, creating a different atmosphere for the anime.

Have you ever had a very distracting classmate who always played around with things without really listening in class? Well, Seki-kun just takes it to a whole new level with his incredible creativity. With Seki-kun and Rumi Yokoi as bench mates, all Rumi wants to do is listen in class without being distracted by her over-the-top classmate. And what’s more, she’s the one who always gets into trouble for being distracted!

Tonari no Seki-kun is one of a kind as we watch Seki-kun’s antics with running commentary from Rumi. Needless to say, while Rumi does not like being distracted, she is still drawn to watch Seki-kun play around with many things like creating a huge domino with just school erasers, all without getting caught by their teacher! This anime is slightly older than the other anime recommendations but we at Honey’s Anime thought there is something unique and nostalgic that Tonari no Seki-kun brings with its 2000-ish anime art style.

Love is Like a Cocktail is an anime short that involves…you guessed it, drinking and cocktails. Chisato Mizusawa is a hardworking assistant office manager who has a secret.

The only person who knows her secret is her husband, Sora Mizusawa, who is a bartender. To keep this a secret from her coworkers, Chisato lies to them denying her love for alcohol. But every day, when Chisato comes home tired from work, her husband lovingly dotes on her with good food and a refreshing cocktail.

Love is Like a Cocktail blends the themes of comedy, cuteness, and wholesome romance with as much ease as Sora making a cocktail for Chisato. Not only do you get a new cocktail recipe with each episode, as a bonus, the wholesome romance between Chisato and Sora tugs at your heartstrings making you feel very warm and fuzzy and this is not just from the alcohol. We warn you though, this wholesome anime might set the standard high for your significant other!

But suddenly, a big red button appears in front of them that immediately transports all the characters into a common world. With no way of escaping, the characters are forced to get along and be friends in their new classroom setting!

Isekai Quartet is known for its...well isekai characters. Not only does this anime have popular isekai favorites such as the twins Rem and Ram, but the characters are also in chibi form, making the anime extra cute. This crossover stands out successfully not because of its characters but because of the various situations that are introduced that the characters go through creating a whole lot of comedy!

We’re nearing the top with My Sweet Tyrant! The story follows a tsundere boyfriend, cutely called Akkun by his oblivious girlfriend, Non-chan who loves him anyway.

Akkun to Kanojo is filled with its own sweet blend of cute, adorable yet extremely silly moments of comedy that takes place in this very...unique relationship. While it might seem off-putting that Akkun insults his girlfriend, his reactions when she is not looking more than make up for it! Moreover, Non-chan is always patient with Akkun and knows that deep down, he truly loves her and this is just his weird love language! If tsundere are your thing, this is one you should definitely check out!

Ahhh...the nostalgic pursuit of first love! From the anticipation of confessing your true feelings to always striking up a conversation to get closer to them, Tsurezure Children follows the lives of a group of high school students who try to get their feelings across to their loved ones. From the school’s troublemaker, the tsundere, the student council president, and just simple shy and dense characters, this anime has all sorts of characters as they try to make sense of their feelings and succeed in the pursuit of young love!

And at the very top, we have Tsurezure Children! This anime is the very definition of an anime short and deserves to be at the top according to us because the storytelling style is very interesting. You can start watching Tsurezure Children at any episode and still understand what is happening. One reason we all choose anime shorts is because of the lack of commitment that is required to be immersed in a detailed plot. Tsurezure Children follows a very simple plot that still has its funny and romantic moments that will make you go “aww”! For all its nostalgic, cute and silly moments that have a bit of everything, Tsurezure Children should definitely not be missed with its balance of comedy and romance!

Eve no Jikan is a Sci-Fi, Slice of Life ONA that makes us think about the possibility of such a future, while at the same time paralleling the existing discrimination problems in our society. Eve has a great plot, wonderful character development and the animation is beautiful. While it’s a bit longer per episode than the other short anime on the list, it’s well worth the extra minutes!

Souichi Negishi is shy and reserved guy who dreams of becoming a pop star and sing about love and happiness and all those things pop stars sing about. However, as most aspiring artists, he’s broke, so he ends up as a lead singer for a black metal band to pay the bills. His stage name is Krauser and when he’s on stage, he’s one demented, murderous, violent metalhead. Krauser and Souichi are like night and day.

DMC is a hilarious, crazy ride as we follow Souichi while he struggles to try and leave this demonic persona and become the sweet, ballad-singing pop star he truly is inside and date the sweet innocent girl he wants to date. His inner turmoil, the outrageous stage performances, and the awesome music will have you marathoning this short anime series in its entirety.

When Natsuki falls in love with Anna, a girl at their school, cuteness and hilarity ensues as the rest of his friends butt in and Anna’s best friend, Mari, tries to keep her all to herself.

Rainbow Days is a School Slice of Life Shoujo sprinkled with tropes as well as some bits of randomness here and there. You have the tsundere girl, the tough guy, a cutesy otaku couple, a budding romance between the main characters and possibly one of the best parts of the show, a nonchalant, whip-carrying dom. Though labeled as a Shoujo, Nijiiro Days can be enjoyed by all, there’s something for everybody here!

Luckily, the rest of the student body thinks he’s the baddest of badasses in the school. Will he achieve his goals? What else does Cromartie have in store for him?

Here’s another one of those really random, short anime that we love. It’s a School Comedy, but far from your average one. There are giant robots, a gorilla, and even Freddie Mercury makes an appearance! Cromartie High School may be the oldest series on the list, but it’s still just as entertaining as it was when it first came out.

What do high school girls talk about? Boys? Make up? The aftermath of a spicy dinner!?? Well, ask Galko and her friends! Galko is tall, blonde, super stylish and popular. Her friend Otako is the opposite; she’s short, wears glasses, baggy clothes and is more of an intellectual. And then there’s Ojou a rich airhead who just wants to be friends. The three cover all the topics high school girls really talk about and answer each other’s burning questions in this School Comedy.

I’m going to be honest; Galko-chan is my current top favorite short anime series. I love the character design, especially for Galko and Otako, and the opening is as funny as the show itself. The topics they cover go from typical teen questions, to hilarious theories and concerns. And even though I wish it was longer, it does a great job of giving you just the right amount of funny in the 7 minutes it lasts. Boy, girl, teen or adult, I highly recommend Oshiete! Galko-chan!

Luluco is a normal middle school girl. She’s average in every way. Or at least she’d like it to be that way… She lives in Ogikubo, a section of the galaxy where earthlings and extraterrestrials live together. One day, her father, a member of the space patrol, is involved in an incident and a new boy, Alpha Omega Nova, transfers into Luluco’s school. Luluco is then pulled into all sorts of craziness and normalcy becomes impossible.

Coming from Trigger Studios, the people who brought us Kill la Kill, it is no surprise that the character design and pastel-y visuals are eye-catching to say the least. Space Patrol Luluco has everything in it; Comedy, School Life, Action, middle school Romance and twists and turns – figuratively and literally! This is another show you’ll be wishing for more of at the end of each episode.

Hetalia re-imagines nations as people and uses this to teach us about history in this cute and hilarious little anime. It focuses on the events of World War I and World War II and follows the Axis Powers; clumsy North Italy, serious Germany and aloof Japan, as well as, gives us a look into the Allied Forces’ relationships.

Hetalia is a Historical Comedy that takes you through a quick, joke-filled history lesson that showcases a fun perspective of every country’s good and bad points. This short anime is also considered a Parody since it, well… parodies history! It makes fun of everyone and even Japan isn’t safe. There’s also a sequel, Hetalia World Series, and a movie, so there’s plenty Hetalia to watch and much to learn about history!

I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying follows the story of office lady Kaoru and her super-otaku husband, Hajime. This unlikely couple is not only making things work despite their differences, but they’re in love and happy! Even they don’t seem to understand how it’s all possible!

Iori Wakabayashi is a beautiful 24 year old office lady and she is madly in love with one of her co-workers, Hige Habahiro. The catch? Hige is much older than she is, overweight and very awkward. Luckily, Wakabayashi knows his weakness: Hige loves marshmallows! She uses her wit and never gives up in an adorable pursuit of her marshmallow crush.

This office Slice of Life Rom-Com is sure to make you go “dawww!” every episode. Wakabayashi’s efforts to get Hige’s attention are super cute, and hilarious. She uses marshmallows as bait (literally), and she spazzes out thinking about her crush when she’s in her bedroom. Hige is a really sweet, oblivious guy and the contrast with Wakabayashi’s serious face and bold approach will have you smiling the whole way through.

Retsuko is a red panda who works as an office lady in a big company. Her bosses and co-workers continue shoving work and impossible tasks on her desk regardless of her plans for the night or her sweet demeanor. Her bosses are jerks and her co-workers are idiots but she is decided to stay positive and peppy. That is until after work when she goes to karaoke and lets it all out while singing death metal!

Aggressive Retsuko is a funny, identifiable and refreshing surprise from Sanrio. Not only are the characters cute (well, Retsuko is at least) but the situations are all-too-real for those with insufferable people at their jobs. The only downside to this short anime series is that the episodes are only 1 minute long! Come on Sanrio! We need more, give us our fix!!
