FLCL feels VERY random, but that's just because nobody really explains the plot (and even then...) 6 episodes
TTGL: macho mecha powered by explosions, awesomeness and loads of ham, doesn't take itself seriously at all but still has some good drama 27 eps (2 movies that cover the whole series too)
Clannad: i don't know how bad school days ended, but it can't be THIS bad. 26-ish episodes slice of life.
elfen lied: Old school, the manga's supposedly better, but very dramatic and gory anime. 12 eps.
madoka magika: -aww pomegranate kyubey what are you doing!?! it was 12-ish eps i think?
one piece: @khainiwest is a papayagot, disregard this one (i dunno, 500+ eps? not finished, not slice of life, yadda yada)
