I find myself falling out of anime (even when I'm actually making an effort to get back into it) because it seems like all newer shows that become popular fall into the same traps.

1) Too many episodes of nothing happening in an obvious attempt to extend the series.
2) Whiny protagonists
3) Overdone and predictable Why are we here? Are we all just meant to suffer? What is the meaning of life? Religion. pseudo-philosophical plots that these writers have no business even attempting because none of them are actually good at them.And yet they attempt them...over and fucking over again.
4) Too many episodes of nothing happening in an obvious attempt to extend the series.
5) Borderline offensive female characters. Yes, even in 2014 this was still a major issue.

I'm looking for smaller, less-known shows with short runs.

Watch kill la kill. The offensiveness is equal on all accounts. It's short. the protagonist is not whiny. And it's not exactly predictable. If you're sensitive though, don't watch it. Like I said, it's offensive and whacky for no reason on all accounts. On Netflix though.

These might include some of what you hate, but I'm going to throw out Tatami Galaxy and Denno Coil. Tatami Galaxy goes for re-occurring events and a Groundhog Day - esque narrative that it uses to really mess with the viewer only to bring it all together in the end with a really neat science-fiction twist. The biggest issues here are that it reuses events to mess with you, so you might be turned off and feel like it's not going anywhere.

Denno Coil explores a near-future in which VR has become seamlessly integrated with real life for users of glasses tech similar to Google Glass. Then instead of going the Ghost in the Shell route and exploring humanity and philosophy, it weaves an almost Ghibli-esque bittersweet tale about deep loss and learning to move on from it and accept reality. Also features some of if not the best female characters in any anime, as the entire show is primarily feminine-centric but without moe or loli stuff anywhere. The biggest issues with it are that it is like twenty-five episodes and it does have filler. However, among its filler are done of its best episodes, if not some of the best episodes in TV. Oh, and it is a slow show.

A lot of those issues are pretty prominent in a lot of "shonen" types show (that is to say shows made for a target audience of middle school/teenage boys). There is good stuff within that fold but I don't think its surprising that you aren't enjoying shows made for people half your age :p There's also the fact that what is "popular" and what is "good" don't always line up (be it anime, music, movies, Western TV, etc.).

What do you want to watch? Action? Comedy? Romance? Drama? Do you like Sci-Fi? Do you like Fantasy? Give us some boundaries and I'm sure most people in here can steer you in the right direction.

Samurai Jack was on Boomerang for a while. If that counts then that show. Swat Kats was also pretty dope. Powerpuff Girls and original Dexter were good too.

FWIW, Miyazaki never actually said those things :p

Photoshop is a hell of a program (It really is! Despite how powerful it is, I wish it was a bit more user friendly to noobs though)

Well I was just watching The Flintstones for a minute and I liked the episodes I saw. I need to see more of their backlog. I don't remember much from Boomerang.

Word on the grapevine is that even though the show had good ratings, Turner killed it because he personally thought it was "too violent". A symptom of "cartoons are only for young children" mentality that has held down action-focused animation in the West so frequently :(
