Ones that are relatively short. I prefer characterization and humour over plot, but don't like a lot of meta unless it is done very well and in unique ways.
Looking at your comment below as well, definitely Being Human. First season's 6 episodes, second season is 8 and I can give you DDLs for it easily. It's all about its characters and it's hilarious in places but also does have some genuinely creepy moments and disturbing things, especially in the second season. It's not perfectly pretty, but that's because it tends to go for realism.
Animanga-wise, have you seen Baccano? Brilliant characters, gorgeous animation, lots of humour and a fair bit of creepiness.
I saw an episode of Being Human once and was intrigued! I definitely have more time to watch stuff now that it's summer, so I might ask you for those links eventually.
I never saw Baccano, though it's been reccomended to me numerous times. I haven't watched an anime since Gundam 00, though. It seriously takes a certain something to keep me watching, and I have no idea what that thing is. But I can try it out.
I like short canons that are easy to get my hands on. As I said upthread, plot does not necessarily matter to me so much as characterization and I need some humour to hold on to. I am also very biased against things I don't find aesthetically pleasing, so in terms of manga/anima/comics, I won't read or watch something if the art or animation disagrees with me. I like horror/creepiness/disturbing images a whole lot.
Well, only because it's my current love affair, your girl, Diablo Cody, wrote United States of Tara that tends to run more for characters and humor than plot so much. Almost heinously so, but I do love the characters so much. -And I feel you on the lack of pretty. I have trouble getting through unpretty series.
I know it's not short, but D Gray Man definitely has good characters and is very creepy and disturbing, but still manages to have some humor in it. The best part is that it has loads and load of characters and we only have a few in camp, so you would have a lot to choose from. However I will note that it's on chapter 193 right now and it's still ongoing, and the story starts out really cool but starts to drop a bit with the most recent arcs. But overall it's still pretty good? And since it's really popular it's easy to get.
Also, if you can do video games, Okami would be a good choice too. Great story, great characters, and fomg sopretty.
