| Taiga best girl forever. |
| Yes, these days I can barely even get through 24 episodes even. I'll watch halfway to around episode 12 or 13 and then get bored and start another anime. I guess that's what happens though when you watched almost all the good stuff though. |
| That's the opposite of me, I get bored watching seasonal stuff And since I barely watch anime nowadays, I'm starting to watch a very long running series per year Last year I catch up through all of Detective Conan, and this year I'm watching Lupin III I'm always being a fan of long running series, but there are still a lot shows that I haven't watch since I'm always following a seasonal anime. |
| It varies on the anime and how attached I became to the story or characters. Sometimes I wish it would keep going for a few more seasons, and even with a slice-of-life movie after a series ends so you can see how the characters live "happily ever after" is nice too. If the story is too cliche with a hero fighting monsters and then the hero struggles to get super strong for a few episodes then finally defeats the biggest antagonist then yeah I get burned out at the beginning of the show unless someone tells me to give it a few because it switches up at the end. |
| You are probably watching too many episodes at a time or watching too many longer series in general. I mean, I can understand, but I've been doing fine with a few eps at a time ^_^ |
 |
| It's happened before. Though obviously not everytime and I still enjoy long series |

| Mushoku Tensei Evergarden Z was difficult for me to watch. |

HiddenByDesign said: For me, 24 episodes is the sweet spot. With a few exceptions, when a show goes over that I get tired of the characters and story; it just starts to drag. Even though I'm not a big shonen guy, I can watch those without getting bored when I decide to get into them (Naruto, Dragon Ball, etc). Yeah, 24 eps should probably be the longest on any show. It was hard (even though I loved the shows) sitting through 74 eps of GRENDIZER... or 49 eps of DUNBINE and stuff like that. But this has as of recent only been a problem for me though. In the past I didn't think anything of it, or the slower pacing. I myself have become spoiled on 12 eps per season and no more than 24 eps a season modern anime. It won't keep me from my older shows, though. Just gotta' pace myself is all. And as of late I seem to be picking up more and more anime from before I was born or the year of. |
| It hasn't happened to me yet. With longer series, I normally watch at a pace of two episodes per day, like Jojo and HxH. |
 |
| That has never happened to me...... |
 |
| It's the opposite for me, if the series is longer then I get used to the characters and enjoy it even more unless it contains something that I dislike or find boring (battle shounen for example). |
| Sometimes I'm really interested in something and if i manage to watch it in the time before this tiny obsession stops I can finish longer series but usually it's difficult for me. I watched Hunter x Hunter and Fairy Tale and few series that had like 3 seasons dor 24 episodes but usually I watch short stuff 12-24 eps, I guess 50 is still okay depending on the time. I hate this because there are many long series I'd love to watch but i either can bring myself to start then or I actually did and dropped them because I was burned out or lose interest for a while and had problem to find a right moment to go back to them. The funny thing is often when I finish some shorter anime I wish it was longer (and then sometimes I go to manga) but then I watch something longer and get bored after 40 eps or so. |
 |
| I got burnt out watching more shorter anime than longer. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| There are very few long anime that I would even start in the first place, but the ones I have seen were all fairly enjoyable. They are: Blood+, One Piece, Kodomo no Omocha, Gintama, a few seasons of Digimon, Hayate no Gotoku, and Cardcaptor Sakura |
  |
| I depends on the long show. For some reason I can consume unlimited amounts of detective stories so for example Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo went really fast and I wanted more. On the other hand battle shounen (with some exceptions) easily kills my enthusiasm. Recently I was surprised to learn (I don't mind mahou shoujo) that Precure grinds my gears even faster than battle shounen...so I guess it's a matter of (formulaic and repetitive) execution. |

| I just get burnt out on mid length anime. Really long ones (100+ episodes minimum) are great, but I already watched the majority of those that interest me, so yea :x 12/13 episodes is fine too, that's something that can comfortably be finished in a day so it's like a nice little snack. I don't remember the last time I managed to finish a 24 or 48 episode show tbh, I usually grow really bored by episode 14 or 15, unless it's a seperate seasons thing where I can watch 12 episodes for S1 and then another 12 for S2. |
| long running battle shonens have a way of stupidly padding the length of one single battle to over 10 episodes with internal monologue that doesn't make sense half of the time. yeah i get bored |
 |
| Hokuto no ken , Man it was soooo boring I couldn't take it but somehow manages to finish it cuz the last arc was not bad and hnk 2 |
 |
| i can relate not so long ago i started gintama and i really like the show but i got burned out after like 130 episodes and took a brake for a while. now i watch it some times finishing an arc then taking small brake again. |
| Currently watching "Shaman King 2021". I'm watching 3 to 5 episodes in a day with two to three days in between. Not because it's hard for me, or because the anime is boring, which it is slightly. But because it still hasn't finished airing. Depending in the anime it be interesting and easy, or boring and hard. |
 |
| I think I should really be doing more 24+ series. Idk, these days I get real bored of anime, an elaborate story might make me feel more invested, especially if it is a good romance. |
| I think it all depends on what's going on in my life. If I'm super busy and barely have time to even get one episode in a day and can only watch on weekends (like a few months ago), I think longer series are more appealing because I have something to attach to and actually give me a reason to relax and enjoy myself watching anime. Otherwise, I don't try to get into longer shows (>50 eps) unless I'm super duper free and bored and can finish it in a week. |

| I used to be able to put commitment into watching 100+ episode series as a child, but nowadays I just can't. I'm sure watching shorter series is better anyway, long series probably open the doors to lots of plotholes. |
| Depends on the anime im watching, if i'm liking the whole story and everything then watching a hundred wouldn't be a problem (like monster, ginga eiyu densetsu, black clover). a 12 episode anime is the best length imo, not too long and not too short, just right |
| In my case, it's easier to just stick to seasonals nowadays. I just watch an episode for 20-25 minutes and that's it. I would rather do something else instead of bingeing which I rarely do anymore. Last time I binged a show was Stone Ocean and that was because of Netflix. |
 |
| Not really. Generally longer anime tend to be much more rewarding than shorter anime. |
| only if I start to dislike it, but otherwise probably not |
 |
| Anime should be as short as it can to tell the story. Actually this applies to any medium. So I actually don't mind anime of any length, and there are certainly shows that I wished were longer, and others shorter. I guess the problem with long-running shows is more of an economic issue. At some point, they no longer care about telling a concise story, and the show is just pushed to continue because people expect it to be there. There is economic pressure against a successful long running show to stop. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| It's pretty hard for something to be interesting beyond 24 episodes. It's not that I didn't watch longer series, like I finished Hell girl of all things. (Watched some other shows between seasons though.) And teenage me somehow watched Yugioh... |
| It depends. I did drop some long running anime after 27-30 episodes because I got bored, whereas some others kept me hooked till the end. What I can say for sure is that entertaining for 50+ episodes is much harder than doing it for just 1 cour. |
| I only binge shows I actually enjoy, if I don't then i'll just watch it from time to time. |
| Eh, it depends on the show. If it's really good, I'll never get tired of it. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| laughs as a seasonal watcher lmao character cou- |
| It depends on the story and the pacing, but yes. I find that 12-26 range to be most ideal, and the longer something runs the more problems it seems to have with this kind of previously mentioned stuff: Peepsqueeker said: It depends whether or not that franchise has: A: A lot of (boring) fillers. B: Way too many recaps C: Way too many flashbacks D: Way too many still shots / dragging it out but of course there are a few exceptions like Monster, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and the Fullmetal Alchemist series. |
