Time is money. People say that phrase so much that it was eventually made into a movie (it was a pretty good movie too). One of the biggest reasons why I have watched only about 30 episodes of bleach (I just read the manga online) is because of time. That and the fillers, which take up more time. These anime though, have but a single season so you get plenty of enjoyment but spend a fraction of the time you would watching the entire series of say, Dragon Ball Z.
To kick this list off, I'm going to start with an anime my friend recommended. Kaze no Stigma is shounen action with a lot of magic battles and some comedy (those are really becoming popular...). It was about twice as good as I expected it to be. The story is basically about a guy who was booted from his clan of fire magic users for having no fire magic coming back into town after a few years.
Next, we have MEKAKUCTIY ACTORS. It's about a group of people with ocular powers trying to solve the mystery of how they got them. It has a pretty confusing beginning. Some people just cannot get past that. But those who can get past those first few episodes, will love it. It was produced by the company Shaft which also produced the monogatari series.
Blast of Tempest (Zetsuen no Tempest) is about two teenagers who are trying to stop the destruction of the world. A clan of magic users decide to resurrect an the Tree of Exodus and doing so will destroy the world. I would say more but I don't want to give any spoilers.
Cowboy Bebop is an amazing anime. It's fairly old but extremely good. The story follows a bounty hunter named Spike in his adventures. Oh and it has got the best instrumental opening I have ever heard in my life. I decided forever ago to skip over it because of the name but I found out that was a huge mistake when I started watching it after seeing it on a YouTube anime list.
Elfin Lied is another "oldie but goodie". The story follows a young woman who is a Diclonius. A human being with horns and large invisible arms called vectors. This is not an anime for the faint of heart. I have never seen so much blood before in my life. The story is a bit dark as well. That only makes it even better to me though.
Black Cat is another bounty hunter anime. It's somewhat similar to Cowboy Bebop but about 10 years newer. So it has better animation quality and more intense fight scenes. It follows Train Heartnet after he quits an assassins' syndicate and decides to become a bounty hunter.
Another is one of my all time favorite anime. It was so good that it was actually a problem for me when it was over. The level of mystery in it was so deep that you just get hooked on the story alone. Also, it's a horror with lots of death. The story follows a middle school student who moved to a small town to live with his grandparents while his father is on a business trip. He meets a girl about his age that no one else seems to be able to see and tries to figure out what exactly is going on in that town.
