Doomisland
With six short episodes this story was able to develop an unique cast of characters who you cared about. While this is a mecha series it is more focused on the story and motivations Noriko and her perseverance to keep on going. There is a nice mixture of action, drama and comedy that really makes this series shine. While the main attraction doesn't show up unitil the latter half of the series you'll be rewarded for the wait.
