A couple off the top of my head: -Mawaru Penguindrum (fantasy, only ~20 episodes) -The Girl Who Leapt through Time (movie, time traveling) -Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (more shounen than shoujo, but it's adventure and also under 30 episodes) Only thing about Penguindrum is that it's like Utena (if you know anything about that show) in that DEEP MEANINGS and everything you thought you knew in the beginning is not by the end- but it's pretty.
