| Long anime will be least priority but I'll probably end up not watching them at all. |
 Recommend me some more villainess stories (manga/light novel) please! ❤ |
| I avoid it altogether, except for Gintama. |
daAmazinFatB0y said: No and there right in your face so thats how i find em TheBrainintheJar said: Yes. I doubt anyone has the talent to finish them properly I'll try a long-running one if it's recommended by intelligent people but only if it finished airing. Hunter X Hunter (2011). This ain't your average shounen mayne. StephanieNicole said: Oh yeah. I'm kicking myself because I'm trying to watch the rest of Bleach by binge watching it. And I'm SO regretting that decision Skip out the fillers and your pain will be reduced by half. HXH is a series that ended. 100 episodes is long, but it still ended. I'm talking about stuff like Naruto or Bleach or Fairly Tail. Even if a series ended at 600 episodes, how can it be worth all that time? |

Even if a series ended at 600 episodes, how can it be worth all that time? I thought you wanted a finished long running show? Coz of their epic storylines, there long as hell and so much happens and you see all your favourite (and not so favourite) characters grow as the show goes on. Seeing small details slowly connect to form into something much bigger than you originally thought and get blown away lol also since its long, you have more time to learn about the world and how it works and theirs a lot of that in long running shows. On top of that, there easy to get into. You can turn your thinking cap to a minimum and just watch n enjoy without having to pay extra attention to detail. Ill try n tell you what I like n what are there drawbacks are. Warning, VERY long amount of text lol Oay I think I went on LONG enough over those and especially with One Piece lol I think it really depends on what your after and what you can tolerate. Some shows like Fairy Tail aren't that satisfying in the long run due to its lack of a main plot and character development where as other shows like Naruto and One Piece would satisfy you with their plot and character development. Fillers play another factor. You can always skip em but its a bitch once you catch up, you may want to watch em and some blend well with Canon storyline while others don't. Bleach is the one that doesn't. If I was to do my rank em from best to worst, I guess it'll be One Piece Naruto Bleach Fairy Tail. Everyone has different opinions and some have bigger fanbase that would tell you otherwise, Naruto having the biggest. Theres also the fact that there long as hell and if you like the show then you have the benifet of it not ending so soon. Nuttin more annoying than comin back home from work and knowing your fave show has endes. Thats the best explanation I can give and I hope it answered your question and I didn't go overboard LOL |

| No i do not avoid them, i will watch them all the way through from start to finish (or most recent episode if still airing). |
No drop crew, Loyal husband, sadomasochist, H&E bully, AWC fan. Click sig for n00dz!  |
| I'll just try to fit it in where it fits with some of the more heavier anime so to speak. Most of those forever airing anime are easy enough to follow anyways, depending on how long it takes me to get back to it. I think it's more suited for the casual watcher imo. The only thing for me is I might get bored and or forget about it. |
| I plan to watch Detective Conan, but the amount of episode is too intimidating every time i try. I needs some kind of motivation. |
 |
| Generally, yes. Ain't nobody got time fo' that! |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

I paused for a few months though around the 90s because I got bored with filler. Consistent filler is a bit of a turn off for me. Skipping fillers not an option???? |

| I'm weak,I couldn't even finish Naruto Yes,when I see something is way too long I tend to avoid it.I don't have the patience. Which is ironic because I always end up picking up long,ongoing manga series after watching the 12 episode adaptation. |

What you wrote about are the examples I referred to. I like your comment, but what I lack is the purpose of these stories. Stories aren't just about telling a nice story. Rather, what's their purpose? Their ideas? The experience they want to transmit? Why do they need to be this long? For example, the novel American Tragedy is extremely long and dense. The author writes page-long paragraphs. That's because he explores an extremely vile character while making him understandable. He wrestles with both understanding and condemning that character. |

The thing they all have in common is getting stronger through experience and gaining power to be among the elites of that world whether that was their intention or not. Its about the Journey of moving from being nothing into something and sometimes, 25 to 50 episodes ain't enough to convey that because they have a limit and they want the ability to put lots n lots of work into each arc, each character each area, the characters backstory, the areas history. 100+ animes like those big shows allow them freedom to express em in anyway they want with little restriction from time. They wanna go through there lives, Piece by piece. One Piece's first 20ish episodes is still just introducing characters and fleshing em out but none of it feels wasted since you have the world to learn about to and as I said before, its massive and is still growing 17 years later. Yiu cam say that they are the real escape from reality anime because there sort of never ending. Theres more I wanna say but I cant put it into words lol |

| yes, but sometimes not, if the plot is amazing. I'm sooooo bored with naruto series. |
  "There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything is exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself" - Musashi miyamoto |
| Yes. Unless it's Gintama xD Well I used to follow long running anime a long time ago, but they were such a hassle to follow, what with all the fillers and stuff. :/ It's also daunting to watch an already long anime (like idk.. one piece... fairy tail..... detective conan), cause you have to hurry up and catch up to the latest ep, yet you also have a lot of other anime in your PTW. Such a dilemma really. :P I would probably watch one again if I'm able to watch the show as a seasonal (sort of) |
   |
| I like watching long running anime because I get more content if I actually like the anime. I love detective conan and I do not regret watching 800 plus episodes because I enjoyed the content. |

| Yes, I must admit I do. I got into anime during highschool by obviously watching the sacred 4. Now I completely lost track of them and when I see a large ass anime I get bummed out cos I need a beginning, reasonable development of the story and chars (no dragging along) and an ending. |
 |
| Yes, because I like to watch animes quickly. (Also, my friends spout anime names all the time and expect me to watch them in a short time so we can talk about them). |

| no, i dont tend to avoid them, but they have to be good cause they would be occupying my entire life. |
 |
| Doesn't matter how many episodes an anime has. If you like it, watch it... if you don't, then drop. |
daAmazinFatB0y said: ]Even though none of it carrys over in the main story? Well, typically it does carry over. That's my point of mentioning training filler. It's just there's a fine limit to how much consistent filler there should be imo. Training or not, too much gets boring. Especially if the whole episode(s) are filler and not just segments within the episode(s). If it gets to that point I'd rather pause and resume at a later date then skipping. I guess kinda like how some people complete anime even if they dislike it. Just a completion-ist thing, pretty much. |

| I think I have such a big need for variety that I could never watch any of the long running shounen for very long until I drop it. especially if there is no end in site i think the only show I think I could watch forever no matter how long it runs is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. mainly because as it goes on it changes main characters and changes the very feel of the show. keeping it fresh enough to appeal to my needs in a show. |
| I'm a bit of a wimp with anime noticeably over 50 episodes, But if a show is high enough quality I'll watch shows longer than that. |

| I just watch the movies (except naruto and one piece). I read the manga of naruto but I just skimed it. And there is always wikia. |
| Yes...but most of the time. I never did care for series like One Piece or Naruto, but I watched a few long series like Urusei Yatsura, which I just loved, and Dragon Ball Z. Most of the time, though, shorter series are just better, and I do not get bored with them after watching hundreds of episodes. |
| That moment when you got sucked into series so much, and even if it gets worse and worse, you can't just leave it behind. Yes, I'm talking about Naruto. It's not that I'm avoiding it. I'd rather read long manga than watch long running anime. 20 to 80 episodes per series is the best. |
| after watching bleach i don't think i have it in me to watch anything with 60+ episodes. especially after the infamous bount arc! i also feel the shorter series 12-36 episodes are better quality and you can enjoy a wider variety of genres, but thats just my opinion |
  |
| HxH 2011 is definitely the only long running anime that worth to watch beside LoGH. although the early arcs art are rather childish, it develop in the next arc, even very gory (from eps 40)... but it doesn't mean the early episodes are bad, they're very good too and definitely worth to rewatch, I think someone who don't like it do not understand the complexity of nen and pay a close attention to the foreshadowing of the characters.. |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| I favour short anime more, so yes I do avoid long running anime, yet somehow I got suckered into One Piece, I wondered how on earth I'd get through its +700 episodes (well minus the fillers). It took me about 5 months or so to catch up and I can't see myself doing it for another series. |
 |
| Sometimes i avoid anime in general. Don't know why, i just don't feel like i'm in the mood to sit down and wtach. But to answer your question, i don't really avoid long running anime, but i also don't watch anime like these all the time. I could also drop one, even if i watched already many episodes |
 |
| I've watched quite a few long running shows and to be honest, most of them are really fun, IF you get invested in them and have atleast watched like 20-25% of the episodes. |
 |
| Yes. I avoid long-running anime in general, although Fairy Tail is an exception because I got hooked into it before I could figure it had more than just 20-something episodes. I watched it first on TV where the airing ended after the Raijin tribe arc, but I went online and found out [fortunately aaand unfortunately] that it had more. |
Active sometimes. |
| Yep, if they started airing when I was watching I wouldn't mind, but I just can't have the motivation to start a long story, and even less if they are not even finished yet (specially if said story is in hiatus). I won't even bother watching HxH or D-Gray Man no matter how good they are because after 100+ episodes I will want a conclussion and it's not going to be there. The longest anime I watched are the monogatari series and JoJo, the fact that they are divided in parts really helped me watching them because I always had a point to stop after the end of a season to just take my time before having the motivating to continue (if I stopped them). But I just want to avoid what happened to me with Gintama, I watched 100+ episodes, I wasn't interested anymore and I dropped it, and now I feel like I wasted hours and hours in something that I didn't enjoy, and it was just not worth it. |
 |
| Yeah... Most of those long running shows have fillers which ain't nobody got time for that. |
 |
| Yes. Although sometimes when i finished a short anime (12-24ish episodes), i wanted them to have more episode, but then again if they do have more episode i probably won't even watch them in the first place |
 |
| no i just pick a select few and watch because they take a lot of time to watch |
| Not really but I just don't have time to remember what happened or watch the fillers *cough* Naruto Shippuden *cough* but I mean the plot is very interesting, it just depends on how dedicated you are for it |
 |
| Some are okay to me, but I just more less watch them while I'm in bed or when I'm doing something else intensive like work. When I'm able to carve out some time to relax I usually try to focus on more short intensive stories though. I'm a huge sucker for Inuyasha :( |
