DragonBall (I still want to finish this).
One Piece (too long and I'm probably going to drop it).

Quite a few, but the ones that I've had on hold the longest are Hajime no Ippo, Hidamari Sketch, Joshikousei: Girl's High, and Tokimeki Tonight. They've all been on hold for more than 10 years.

I'm pretty mad at myself about Hajime no Ippo. I actually really enjoyed it, and I watched 53 episodes, so I put a lot of time into it. At the time, I only intended to take a short break and then go back to it. Now, it's been so long that I'm not even sure I could follow the plot if I jumped back into it.

i tried to watch it long time ago, dropped it. Last year my brother watch it and pressure me to watch it, i give it a couple of episode and then put it on hold. Is not that I didnt like it (otherwise I would drop it) is just.. I want to see it, but I never just give it time.

I think I might never finish or pick up again Beastars..... simply because I really dislike looking at animals or anthromorphobic (or however you spell that shit) figures..... it's not my cup of tea, even if the anime is probably really good

The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, been in hold for 3 years iirc, i forgot the majority of the plot, its very likely that i drop it. Plus i have heard the quality of the story in the ln takes a dip so i dont have that as a motivating factor.

Detective Conan is still on my PTW list and I have no intentions to pick it back up any time soon. I put it there after episode 830~ish mainly because I got bored of the never ending fillers but there are multiple other reasons for why it ended up there. I initially wanted to take 1 or 2 days at the end of every year to quickly look through the wiki, find which episodes actually progress the story and watch at least those but in the end I never did.

The show has been stuck on my PTW list for roughly 6 years now and will probably stay there for quite a while longer. Especially since the movies have started to loose my interest as well, I haven't seen the 26th yet, can't even remember what the 25th movie was about and the 24th was just kind of disappointing given the hype around it. So since I don't even know if I'll keep watching the movies, I'll potentially never pick the series up again.

I currently have 3 shows in my on-hold list:
- Mugen no Juunin: Immortal (I watched 6 episodes and found it incredibly average. Will resume it when I feel like watching some violent/edgy samurai stuff)
- Saber Marionette J to X (This one is a sequel but since I barely remember anything from S1, I would have to rewatch everything from the very beginning. And that thought alone is making me postpone this indefinitely)
- Sakamichi no Apollon (I tend to hate love polygons and it seems this show is more about that rather than about music)

I'm unlikely to ever finish DBZ now that I'm watching Kai, but I don't have the heart to "drop" it since I watched so many episodes out of order as a kid.

I've had Naruto on hold for a while, I want to go and finish it but honestly nowadays I've kinda lost the motivation to get through super long shonen series that I used to have... maybe someday though.

I've had Cowboy Beebop in my hold list for like 2 years. I have no idea why, I just haven't got around to watch it again XD

A lot, I will get around to some stuff on my on hold list...eventually. Eh Fire Force, I literally put on hold when the Kyo Ani fires happened (crazy that was 5 years ago), if it gets finished I will at least finish that lol.

I think these days,I like to focus more on complete stuff or things unlikely to get a sequel for this reason. I start series and just never follow up on them.

Really only one. Bleach. After 350 episodes, I started to feel a bit tired of it, Aizen was defeated, etc. So I stopped watching it. I had streamed most of the series on some site back in 2010 but had been following it on Adult Swim for years. But I even stopped recording those episodes to watch. Never have been back.

@DesuMaiden still way less that Sazae-san 2740 for Sazae-san vs 1113 for one piece.

I'm terrible with this, I have 75 entries on hold that realistically I am never going to go back to. I just end up putting them there instead of dropping them because I didn't dislike them enough to say I would never go back to it. But there have only been a handful that I've actually gone back and finished.

Fairy Tail, I guess. I watched a couple of episodes and said to myself, never mind, and put it on hold forever.

Nope, nothing ends on hold for ever.
Though I use on hold either for:
- high priority stuff I wanna watch (non-seasonal usually get moved from PTW to on hold for a few months before they go to watching)
- movies that came out and there's no good subbed version to watch yet
- shows that went on hiatus ( like https://myanimelist.net/anime/54233/Sasayaku_You_ni_Koi_wo_Utau ), but I'll eventually drop them if they don't come back

I finished Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan this year as my 500th anime. I started it way back in 2014... Yeah, took me a while. Space Dandy has been on hold since it aired in 2014 too

Detective Conan. It's been more than a year since I put it on hold because people keep recommending me anime. I don’t wanna disappoint them plus I don’t like watching multiple series at a time so all I can do is stop watching DC and give a shot to what they told me to watch

There's a couple I keep putting on hold and I'm not sure why. I've restarted watching FMA like five times over the years, and always just kind of forget about it a quarter of the way through. Same with Black Clover, Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and Spy x Family.

I struggle to really find a reason as to why I've never returned to some of these shows. It's happened more than above and I just end up listing them as dropped some months/years later.

its been almost 3 years since i put to your eternity in my on-hold list. there are some that have been there for more than 2 years, 1 year and recent as well. recently i put dbz on-hold about 4 months back.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.
