Basically most of these big animes have been going on for years and they still aren't finished, which is a bit frustrating of course. Then again you can watch it every week but I prefer binge watching.
In animes such as Naruto probably near half of the anime is fillers which I got tired of eventually
It's different if you actually like long running series and enjoy them.

Pros : Lots of episodes
Cons : Ending* :/


Yeah that's true, I guess I didn't put it correctly though. It's not that I want it to end, but I would rather have all the episodes in front of me rather than waiting every week. I'm that type of person :P

Well most long running anime are ended, so you don't have to answer this thread only talking about currently airing ones.

It depends on the plot and characters. I thoroughly enjoyed Kami nomi, and even progressed to reading the entire manga. Shows like Angel Beats, White Album 2, and Clannad AS shouldn't exceed the 60 episode mark.

I feel if Tokyo Ghoul was adapted correctly, the show and its respective manga could hit in the hundreds. Tokyo Ghoul is just getting started in the manga, but is being butchered by its current adaptation.

It depends a lot, if I feel it turns repetitive (FT), I get bored and force myself to drop it.
If the main story is being delayed a lot (naruto), I feel like they want to make money and I dropit or put in hold it forever.
If it keeps evolving and showing new creative content, I can keep watching it forever, only if it is related to how everything started.

Back in time I could watch long-running animes like naruto and DB, but now I don't have enough patience to sit in from of my monitor to waiting for something interesting to happen, when I know I can be doing something else, it is like wasting my time.

hxh is the best long running shonen series!
*Checks SetsukoHara favorite list.* has one piece as favorite in manga section. Confirm op fanboy. Tries to change subject because I'm talking negative about his favorite series. One piece fanboy logic detected.

Anime with "hundreds of episodes" you speak of shows that people really enjoy the Anime because clearly that Anime has a good fan base for the studios to keep on producing more episodes for the series.

I loved the one piece anime up until WB arc, new world pacing sucks!! Watching Naruto shippuden and it still has lots of fillers, my interest has been sucked away. Well, move on to the manga.
So, yeah long running animes have been bad at some point lately.

I don't like them, mainly because of Pokemon. i think that in those hundreds of episode there will be redrawn ep. with a duplicate episode somewhere.

I don't like them. I refuse to believe that there's a series that requires hundreds and hundreds episodes to tell one story. I believe nothing should over state it's welcome

I agree, Game of Thrones is too fast-paced.
I probably regret this post by now.

It seems to me that the general consensus around MAL seems to be something similar to this:
100 episodes --> meh, filthy long running shit.
6 seasons, 13 episodes each --> love it, give me more.

As for me, I could give less of a shit as to how long something is. Nobody's forcing me to marathon it. Taking my time with a long runner is pretty much the same damn shit as any other 1/2 cour series (with or without multiple seasons).

Well the usually have some general plot that will be forgoten after few eps.People that watched them since ep 1 airing will get attached to it and subjectevlly judge it and call it a master piece and overlook the flaws and countless filers eps.

If I really like the series I'm happy because it means I get to experience even more of it over a longer period of time. If I don't I just drop it when I get bored enough.

I like them, because sometime we forget the story in one of the episode. And when we re-watch them it make we remember what we forgot.

A lot of long-airing shounen are being milked because of Shounen Jump (One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, etc.) It keeps the anime/manga industry alive, so I'm not complaining.

It's fantastic to watch all those episodes of an anime,but regarding Naruto, i gave up when i started the Shipuden series,i was just so bored to watch 600+ episodes, as for Bleach, it has about 366 episodes which i was never bored of watching.

I regret watching long animes after what I've done... Should've focused on smaller animes.
