Shortest Route to Studio Badge - Lesson 2: Bones

So, you want to collect all of the studio badges and become an anime master? But you just don't have the time to spend on 100+ episode animes? Well, say no more. For the Bones badge, you will need to watch 10 anime. Compiled below are the 10 shortest anime (excluding things like recaps and specials for larger animes). If you watch these anime for Bones, you will get the badge in 9 hours and 37 minutes.
1 Yasuyuki Okamura: Viva Namida

Yasuyuki Okamura: Viva Namida

Let's kick off this list with this 5 minutes music video featuring the vocals and dance stylings of Yasuyuki Okamura. While this video does feature the cast of Space Dandy, I don't believe it is necessary to have seen the show in order to appreciate the pop-art style music video. 

2 Towanoquon Movie 1: The Ephemeral Petals

Towanoquon Movie 1: The Ephemeral Petals

This 47 minute movie is the first in a 6 part seires released in 2011. You might notice that the rest of the movie series is listed below. I recommend watching them in order. 

The first movie establishes the Attracters, including Quon, and their mission to save others of their kind from an organization that uses cyborgs to hunt them. 

3 Towanoquon Movie 2: Dancing Orchard in Chaos

Towanoquon Movie 2: Dancing Orchard in Chaos

This 48 minutes movie is the second in a 6 part series released in 2011. 

The second movie has more mystery to it than the first, as everyone is searching for the culprit behind a series of strange murders. Hint: Have you seen The Happening by M. Night Shyamalan? 

4 Towanoquon Movie 3: The Complicity of Dreams

Towanoquon Movie 3: The Complicity of Dreams

This 48 minute movie is the 3rd installment of the 6 part series released in 2011. 

This particular movie reveals the past of several of the key characters, and introduces new characters from the past and present. 

5 Towanoquon Movie 4: The Roaring Anxiety

Towanoquon Movie 4: The Roaring Anxiety

This 48 minute movie if the fourth installment of the series released in 2011. 

The action starts to climb in this portion of the series, and shows with how the Attractors deal with their own abilities. 

6 Towanoquon Movie 5: The Return of the Invincible

Towanoquon Movie 5: The Return of the Invincible

This 48 minute movie is the fifth installment of the series released in 2011. 

With this being next to last, it's time to start tying up loose ends, right? Explanations, plot twists, and general "what the fuck?" May occur in this episode. 

7 Towanoquon Movie 6: Eternal Quon

Towanoquon Movie 6: Eternal Quon

This 48 minute movie is the final installment of the series released in 2011. 

With this being the last movie, a lot of things had to be wrapped up. Some powers are stretched to their limits, some are stretched beyond. I felt the ending fit well with the series. 

8 Otona Joshi no Anime Time 2

Otona Joshi no Anime Time 2

This 3 episode special is about 75 minutes long. While technically a sequel, each episode is stand alone, so nothing is lost if you don't watch the original short. 

This one is a bit different. It's got a mixture of animation and video footage. It follows the lives of 3 women who have reached a sort of crossroads in their life. 

9 Sword of the Stranger

Sword of the Stranger

This 98 minute movie is set in feudal Japan. 

This movie follows the adventure of a young boy that is on the run from shady officials, and he asks the aid of a wandering swordsman who happens to seek shelter in the same run-down temple. With foreigners, hair dye, and an adorable dog, this movie is pretty epic. 

10 Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers

Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers

This 115 movie is a retelling of the series Eureka Seven, so don't worry if you haven't watched the entire series. In fact, it might be better if you haven't seen the original series because then you won't be comparing the two. (Like FMA and FMA: Brotherhood, which are also by Bones)
