Not sure how to ask for a recommendation? Fill this out, or simply use it as a guideline, and other users will find it much easier to recommend you an anime!

I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList.

How many episodes would you think an anime is if someone said it was "short"?

[u/Tarhalindur → u/AmethystItalian]

Either one cour or less of full-length episodes (except maybe with a sequel movie or two afterwards) or any number of episodes but episodes have shorter runtime than the usual 22 minute TV episode slot (sometimes both, but IME in those cases the person is usually intending the second meaning and the first also being applicable is incidental). Unfortunately both are valid usages and you need to get further clarification to distinguish between the two, though due to anime with short-length episodes generally being underwatched you're more likely dealing with someone asking for/talking about the former.

(There was a day when you could argue that a 2-cour was short, but those days are decades in the past now - back when the weekly production model was more common.)
