Whether your interest lies in creepy Japanese ghost stories to action-packed spirit fighters, there is a series to fit your every desire. 19.

To many, short episode anime, when the episodes are less than 15 minutes, seem like a waste of time. After all, what sort of story can a series tell in five minutes or less?  Well, if you get your short episode anime information from shows like Pupa, then they clearly don’t tell any good stories at all, but you if you get your information from actual good series, then you might know better.  Short episode anime can be a good way to watch some anime without investing a lot of time into it.

Clowns as a horror device are relatively new. You can thank Edgar Allen Poe, Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci opera, and actual clown serial killer John Wayne Gacy for planting the seed and of course, Stephen King's It for nurturing it to get what we have now. You'll be hard pressed to find a person who actually likes clowns.  Anime, like other modes of popular entertainment, has also created its share of sinister jokers, jesters, and pierrots to give audiences the heebie-jeebies. 1. Buggy (One Piece)  You're sailing the high seas in search of treasure while building long-lasting friendships with your rough-and-tumble crew when, all of a sudden, you're ambushed by pirates!  But these pirates aren't the bearded, peg-legged types.
