I do!!! Any Anime over 50+ episodes is long. A lot people disagree and think 100 episodes is long. Yes 100 episodes is long but for me a 50+ episode Anime is long, for example Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood has 64 episodes, I consider that long and it is on my top 10 list in long edition. What do you think????

Well, I would probably refer to a 50 episode anime as a long-running show in the context of anime because nowadays the majority has 10-26 episodes.

It's not a long series though, it's ~1000 minutes which translates to roughly one season of 40 minute per episode live action drama.

It's more that the average modern anime length of 10-26 episodes is ridiculously short. The shorter series are barely any longer than an overlength movie.
I probably regret this post by now.

Most anime these days are 1-2 cour, so I guess it's safe to say that 50 episodes is "long".

No.
I consider that average.
After episode 200 it gets long.
I take into consideration the time it takes me finishing it.
An anime with 200 episodes usually takes at most two weeks, it would take a lot less if I wouldn't watch almost every new anime this season, got to fix that next season.

I play video games when I get bored, that usually happens every two days.
Only two episodes, that only takes 38 minutes if you skip the openings and endings.

50ish is in the longer category for me. That's about two 26-episode seasons. If I'm going to invest in that, I have to be pretty interested in the show. 70+ episodes is where a series gets long for me. Shows like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, etc venturing into 200+ are in the "hell no" category. There are too many great 26-episode shows that I have to watch before I can commit time into the masters of fillers.

If the anime is crap, even 3 episodes will feel long.

I used to play video games a lot more than I currently do.
That was before getting into anime.
After I finish a game three times I don't play it for a couple of months, if I really liked that game.
The only game I can play frequently these days is FIFA 14, dunno how much that will last.

Comparing it to what is a usual length, it's relatively long. Compare it things like 'Detective Conan' and no it's not even close to being long.

Yes. I don't really watch long running anime. The only long running anime that I'm currently watching is Naruto. No I did not watch every single episode I just skipped everything and watched fights that I remembered/felt like watching.

Yea.

I refer to any anime above 50 episodes as "long" and any anime above 100 "long-running."

Not that long. Many series have two(+) seasons of 20+ episodes each, which sums up to 50 or even more. They aren't long.

Not really. 100+ is where it's at.
When you get used to that, the average short ones are little more than appetizers.

I consider any anime with more than 26 episodes a long anime, since a lot of anime tend to have 12-26 episodes. This just about makes Gurren Lagann a long anime, since it has 27 episodes.

I consider 100+ long. 50 episode is a decent length.
But honestly, since I have so much time on my hands I could care less about how long the anime is.

Depends on the anime plot and on the amount of your free time.

I'm saying it's stupid to not refer to something as long just because other things are longer.

I'm considering watching three over 50 episodes anime. That's Dragon Ball Kai (for getting rid of everything bad about DBZ, such as fillers and overstretched fights and dialogue), Sonic X (Sonic) and Full Metal Alchemist (curiosity).

"Average" isn't an opinion but something based in actual data, and the factual average episode length of anime is nowhere near as high as 50.

I have absolutely no idea, but I do know it's not 50 given the pure volume of how many shows are shorter than that compared to 50 or something above it that would balance it out. It's like saying "the average lifespan of a human being is 100 because my Grandma lived to be 108 so I consider 100 average." The average of something is a numbers game - not one based in anecdotes. If anything the average length for a show wouldn't even be a normal length of a series, it'd be a number between 12 and 40 most likely.
