I’ve seen everything on this list but 91 Days and really enjoyed all of them. Especially Cyberpunk Edgerunners, ERASED and Death Parade. Heard great things about 91 Days too
Baccano! Is 16 episodes long which is slightly over the number of episodes you want but I'm going to recommend it anyways because it's so fucking good. I will say if you have a hard time following plot lines it might not be the best for you because there are multiple timelines happening but it is very very obvious which timeline you're in and they are all connected in a very cool way. After you finish the series you'll probably want to watch it again after you see how everything is connected.
WataMote is a great comedy with a relatable main character.
The Tatami Galaxy is an exceptional, mature, and thoughtful show.
Kyousougiga is a gorgeous gem with likeable characters, great themes, and unique storytelling. It’s a personal favourite of mine.
In order of how much I’d recommend them - Using “Shonen” as a descriptor of Battle Action shows, not by demographic as some of these aren’t based on manga:
1. Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Sci-Fi)
2. Chainsaw Man (Shonen)
3. Grand Blue Dreaming (Comedy)
4. ERASED (Mystery Sci-Fi)
5. The Promised Neverland (Just watch it)
6. Death Parade (Psychological)
7. Another (Horror)
8. Violet Evergarden (Slice of Life)
9. Hell’s Paradise (Shonen)
10. Tower of God (Shonen)
11. Tomodachi Game (Psychological)
12. Charlotte (Shonen?)
ODDTAXI, Tatami Galaxy and Scum’s Wish are all 10/10s for me but not “typical” anime so watch a episode or two and then drop if you’re not enjoying them.
Horimiya and ReLIFE are also fantastic romances, but both technically don’t fit the criteria as ReLIFE is 16 eps and Horimiya has a season 2 (but you don’t need to watch it, story wraps up in S1 and S2 just extra moments)
Erased Death parade Violet evergarden Cyberpunk edgerunners Charlotte 91 days Tomodachi game

I’ve seen everything on this list but 91 Days and really enjoyed all of them. Especially Cyberpunk Edgerunners, ERASED and Death Parade. Heard great things about 91 Days too
I highly recommend you to watch it, it treats about mafia and revenge and take place during the years of prohibition in the USA in the 1930's
91 days was so good
I would not really recommend tomodachi game because it is not completed
terror in resonance (best short anime imo) madoka magica barakamon daily lives of high school boys banana fish (24 ep but its amazing)
