Can anyone think of any episodic anime mini shows. Besides Lemon Angel. It can be any genre 10 minutes or less.

Only one I can think of is She and Her Cat, a short included on the Voices of a Distant Star DVD. It has no connection with Voices except that it has the same creator. It's a cute story about a cat's affection for it's owner.

Di Gi Charat is famous as hell, and it aired in like 5 minute episodes, as an advertising campain for the Gamers shore in Akihabara. its a hugely popular series, with a couple spin offs, never seen it though. guess ill check it out. im going to the community college nearby, and im signing up for the anime club there, so ill see if anyone has it, cause im not gonna make a random buy unless its super cheap. learned that lesson.

another one is Tachikomatic Days, which takes place at the end of every GITS episode. pretty entertaining. if u like GITS anyway.

I only know of Omishi Magical Theatre Risky & Safety, Kurogane Communication, Steel Angel Kurumi, The Adventures of Mini Goddess and Maico 2010.

Risky & Safety and Mini Goddess have the shortest running time. Kurogane Communication is around 12 Minutes per episode (without Op & Ed).

Legend of Duo, I believe that each episode was around 5-6 minutes and there was a total of 12 episodes. Kind of a strange show, lots of the animations is use over and over, but I didn't mind it too much.
Till next time,

I’m not much of a fan of shorts, I suppose along with Risky safety, and Mini Goddesses, I've only ever seen Damekko Doubutsu (that's not licensed yet though.)

I'd recommend ‘Risky Safety’ again; it's pretty interesting for a short. Far too much fun.
It’s stand alone, and has this whole comedy duo thing going on (pretty much all shorts are comedy)
‘Mini Goddesses’ was cute, but it was a little too sugary for me. I found it hard to watch, even though I'm a die-hard ‘Ah! Megami-sama fan.’
‘Damekko Doubutsu’, although hilarious, doesn’t make a lot of sense. I'm pretty sure there's no actual plot involved there, cute and fuzzy as it is.

I'm pretty sure Ojarumaru was a short (I didn't pay much attention. It was at most 15 minutes, right before Nintama.)
But that was really cute too. I have no idea what it was about (I tended to turn it on right in the middle anyway), but cute.

That’s all I’ve seen, sorry I can’t help much more ^^
