I don't have any one cour anime that I can imagine rewatching forever, so definitely the latter option.

I would choose my #1 favorite, because if I chose 2nd best, I would regret it 4EVR!

We have different opinions on fun questions, but anyway I'd choose the 1 cour.

I would have a worse problem here - I have at least 5 contenders for the number 1 spot.
But - if I were forced to chose I would go with #1.
Thank god it's just theory.

I'd pick the 12 episodes since it's Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, but now it's between the first season and Zan.
It's hard because when I first watched all the seasons, I wasn't even aware that it was split up by seasons at all. It was just episode 1, 20, 30, etc. for me.
I think I'd go with Zan. I think Zan has my favorite scenes.
Or maybe that was Zoku...
I'll just say Zan.
Oh GDI, Zan and Zoku have thirteen episodes and not twelve.
Okay fine, first season then.;;

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

i would rather eat cow poo everyday for dinner than watch the same anime over and over.. i have trouble re watching REALLY good movies as it is.. I'm a one time kinda guy.. too much shit in this world to waste ur time watching the same thing more than once.. (not to say i haven't watched movies a couple times, if it's been several years before the last time i saw it and it was really good)

neither tbh, be it 12 or 25 , no anime has that mush re-watch value to begin with , so practically, re-watching either of them will not give me the pleasure i usually seek when i watch anime ... guess i'l switch from anime to live-action again :P

2 cour is still too short to be watched forever. And in general re-watch is boring unless a very long time gap occur. So it would be sayonara Chinese cartoons.

whatever i pick, i still wouldnt rewatch it for a long time

Is your all time favorite so good that seeing the same 12 episodes over and over again would be enough, or would you find it necessary to sacrifice a bit of anime quality for an extra 13 episodes?

lol do you really think 2 cour shows "sacrifice anime quality for an extra 13 episodes"?

P.S. To the people saying "neither," I can bet you any amount of money in the world that if you were limited to watching only one series for the rest of your life, you'd get to the point where you'd be going through anime withdrawal and would re-watch that series again. And again. And would continue watching it every so often until the day you die.
Or they'll just do something else, since anime doesn't control their life.

In this situation, they do. Seeing as I said "your favorite anime is 12 episodes but your 2nd favorite is 25" in the OP, my guess is that your favorite is gonna be better than your 2nd favorite. Since your 2nd favorite is 13 more episodes than your favorite, that's a sacrifice of quality (1st favorite > 2nd favorite) for 13 more episodes of content.
yeah, quality is easily measurable and totally works like that

For this hypothetical question, i would answer with my 2nd all time favorite with 25 episodes for the following reason:
1. It has more episodes (twice) than my all time favorite
2. Most likely, my 2nd all time favorite would only be a really slight less enjoyable than my favorite
3. I'll probably move to another entertainment, thus making point 1 and 2 more significant

dang that's a tricky one, I really want to say I'd watch Prince of Tennis because it's so much longer but I'll stick with the 2 options here.

If I went with the shorter one I'd pick Chuunibyou, I think it's just simply enjoyable. If longer Shinsekai Yori or NGE. My initial thoughts are leaning toward Chu2 because I think the comedy and light heartedness would be easier to rewatch over and over compared to something more dramatic. Now that I said that Nichijou wouldn't be a bad choice either. I really couldn't decide though so thankfully that situation won't happen.

Given your two options; I'd choose my #1 favorite. Though it'd be hard to choose.

Now if I ignored your later options, I'd probably choose a really fucking long anime. Something like Dragon Ball or Naruto. Sure it's not as good, but it's long as fuck so I'd have much more enjoyable anime hours.

Yeah, similarly, once Ive watched an anime or film, I dont normally feel like watching it again.
But then this thread is just for fun and theory :p

I think personally if I was put in this situation, if the number 1 anime was truly my #1 I'd be happy to put up with only having the 12 episodes for the sake of being able to watch my personal favourite.
Like CheckMateBassy, I'd probs regret it if I didn't choose my number 1 :p

Pretend that you were in this situation:

You're never allowed to watch anime again EXCEPT, you can chose to re-watch one series as many times as you want.. this is the only anime you'll EVER be able to watch ever again. You decide to choose between your two favorite series' ever.

Your all time favorite series has 12 episodes.
Your 2nd all time favorite series has 25 episodes.

What would your choice be? Is your all time favorite so good that seeing the same 12 episodes over and over again would be enough, or would you find it necessary to sacrifice a bit of anime quality for an extra 13 episodes?

BONUS: Depending on your choice, which anime would you choose? (So if you picked option 1, a 12 episode series, or option 2, a 25 episode series. If the one you choose has like, an episode or two more or less than 12/25 you can use that too, its all just for fun anyways)

Enjoy answering the question and I look forward to the discussion that awaits!


Hunter x Hunter 2011 has both quantity and quality and is my favorite series of all time so I have no troubles watching it on endless repeat for the rest of my life. Nothing else compares so there's really nothing to debate about.

To answer your original question I'd take the 25 episode 9 over the 12 episode 10.

Episode count doesn't really matter to me either

Not sure what my answer would be :p

The space between my first and second favourite is a very thin one. I'm not even sure that I could give you my "first favourite" or "second favourite."

I have quite a few favourites but I can't list them in order like some people. I'd obviously choose the 25 episode series... That's logical.
Feel free to message me to chat.

The one-cour. I'd probably only re-watch it every year or so.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.
