10 Best Anime You Can Binge In a Single Night
Apr 4, 2025
These anime are beautiful, emotional, and can be finished in a single night!
There are few things more exciting than diving headfirst into a new anime. But not everyone has the time to chew through over 200 episodes of Naruto (not including Shippuden and Boruto), navigate through the incredibly complex Fate franchise, or dedicate exactly 29 days, 9 hours, and 30 minutes to catching up on One Piece (accurate at the time of writing). Sometimes, all you want is something short and sweet.

There’s something about short anime that packs a much harder punch than many long-running series. Maybe it’s the fact we know the end is fast approaching, or its the streamlined storytelling. Either way, these are 10 anime you can binge in a single night, that will stay with you for many nights after.
The Heike Story (11 Episodes)
There’s something about blending historical samurai stories with fantasy that makes for a great anime. Based on the classic Japanese tale of the same name, The Heike Story follows the titular clan in the 14th Century. After her father was killed by the head of the clan, Biwa travels across Japan, where she meets Taira no Shigemori, the eldest son of the Heike.
Biwa possesses a strange eye that can see the future, and she warns Shigemori that the destruction of the Heike clan is imminent. As well as its emotional plot and tense, grounded action, The Heike Story features gorgeous animation from Science SARU that you’ve undoubtedly seen screencaps of strewn across social media.
