For me, it's Hunter X Hunter at 148 episodes, since i don't usually watch long anime.

Gintama at ~367 episodes. Though Fairy tail is not far behind at 328 episodes. Despite the episode counts, the longest it has taken me to watch an anime was with Gurren Lagann.

Pokemon, if that counts. I've watched all the episodes up to Diamond and Pearl and then some, so 660+ episodes. Otherwise, Katekyo Hitman Reborn with 203 episodes. Damn, it's been so many years since I'd last watched an anime with over 100 episodes.

For a single entry it's got to be Naruto: Shippuuden and its 500 episodes, although I might have went over that number when I used to watch One Piece, but not by much if it's the case.

But since some are counting entire franchises, then it's certainly Pokémon, which I watched up to Black & White, which is also the best generation for anyone wondering.

Naruto & Shippuden + (several films)

Last Shippuden arc, with Sasuke and Chinoike Chino, was the best this franchise had to offer me personally.

I'm not into long-running anime either, and my longest is also hunter x hunter

It's not exactly my place to say this since I've never gotten into longer shounen like naruto, bleach, one piece, gintama, etc., but I dare say that HxH is the best "bang for your buck" of the longer-running anime, for lack of a better term. What I mean is I think its content is saturated for its runtime compared to others such as Naruto, which of course has its own fair share of high moments, but you also get quite an excessive amount of filler to go with it apparently. If all other shounen were slimmed down to what really matters, perhaps they'd be around the same length of hunter x hunter as well; just a speculation.

It makes sense for someone growing up with anime like Naruto to love it, but for me, to get into something spanning hundreds of episodes now is just too much. For such a large of amount of time that would have to be dedicated, I don't think the returns would be sufficient. Or maybe I'm missing out on what potentially could be my favourite anime of all time. Who knows

But anyway yeah HxH is the longest single anime I've watched (if you count seasons into the mix, I think MHA comes kind of close), with FMAB and Twin Star Exorcists being the next two longest.

Only ones with multiple standalone stories are worth watching, like Gundam or JJBA.

If we go by MAL entries it's going to be One Piece but if we are talking by an entire anime franchise that would be the Pokemon Anime.

Maybe the fate series cause the entire watch time of the main fate timeline excluding the studio deen adaptation is almost equal to 66 episodes. For a singular series, Monster will be the longest

Naruto (series) as it is 720 episodes + 220 of boruto which I've already seen so far. (Including all the fillers etc.). I am not sure if I've seen all of specials as so far I know I've seen Rock Lee Chibi and few movies, so it would be slightly more than 940 episodes.

Technically Saiki K, but the episodes themselves are so short it doesn't really count.

Second-longest I completely remember watching is Digimon Adventure. There are like two types of childhood shows. Those that feel long and have 12 episodes and those that feel short and have 50 episodes. Digimon Adventure is clearly the latter to me, I was shocked that it has 54 episodes by itself because I should remember all of it. It's also the anime I rewatched the most.

I have apparently watched 1187 episodes of the main Pokemon anime. It would be even more if I included all of the side series episodes + movies, but I can't be bothered to add them all up.

Far as an anime I actually completed, that would be the Yu-gi-oh: Duel Monsters anime at 224 episodes.

Longest I seen but never completed? Dragon Ball Z. Never completed the series because the edited version I seen of it years ago had apparently edited out entire episodes of the series and unlike years earlier, I don't have the time and patience to watch through that long a series nowadays.

Urusei Yatsura at 195 episodes (without OVAs and movies for now), considering series where i know for sure i watched every single one of them, otherwise it would be Dragon Ball Z. Ranma 1/2 comes immediately after at 161 but in this case i watched every OVA and movie.

In the future Gintama will probably surpass Urusei Yatsura, even if for now i just barely got beyond the first half of the first season.

One Piece is the longest anime I have watched. Although I started Detective Conan a while back and whenever I watch up to that, it will become the longest anime I would have watched.

Kodocha, at 102.

I may eventually surpass that with my viewing of Yawara, but I'm still somewhere around the 70s there. I simply don't watch those neverending shounen fighting anime. I have watched more episodes in total of Sailor Moon, but I skipped most of season 4, so didn't really complete it.

The entire Naruto series, which is technically about 800 episodes if we include Boruto. Watched everything including movies and filler (am 20 or so episodes on Boruto, though), so it probably makes up most of the time on my MAL.
