This is an easy one: Chihayafuru. There are only a handful of shows I could rewatch without getting tired of it.

So you don't wont us to watch an anime with over 100 episodes?What kind of retribution is that? Anyway, Great Pretender/Mob 100/Baki. Probably best options. Great pretennder has a pphenomenal story , Mob has top notch animation and baki just was very enjoyable for me


Well if you could go over 100 everyone would just pick one piece, naruto, bleach, etc cuz they're long so gotta switch things up a bit ya know :/ and I respect the mob pyscho

One Piece, since I still haven't seen a single episode and it would last me a life-time given how long it is.

Just one? Jeez...um, well if by anime you mean all seasons, movies, specials, OVAs, etc.---how 'bout Strike Witches? No, no, no...um Girls und Panzer? Black Lagoon? Does anyone else feel that by answering they've somehow hurt the feelings of their other favorite anime? Ugh. Going to eat turkey. Happy Thanksgiving all!

K-On, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun or something along those lines. Most likely Takagi-san though.

I was considering Space Brothers with the 99 episodes like some people suggest, but people forget there is also the prequel movie, so if we pick Space Brothers, all of the franchise would need to be included as long as it's canon or part of the main story line at the very minimum.

I was also considering Monogatari, but if we translate movie duration and convert it to typical TV duration, the total number of episodes will exceed 100 episodes because of the Kizu trilogy and Zoku Owarimonogatari. Duration of minutes will be 2,494 and that's excluding Koyomimonogatari. If OP counts a movie as 1 episode like what MAL does, then this would qualify and I might consider it.

My answers would also change if we can choose a franchise with 100+ episodes but cut off a section of what we want in that range as long as it covers the entire seasons, but don't think that's what OP wants.

I'm also not sure if we can select Fullmetal Alchemist because franchise wise, there's the 2003 version and Brotherhood and I don't know if we can choose one and simply ignore the other's existence. With all things considered, if we can, then I was thinking Brotherhood

If this still doesn't qualify, I'll go with Death Note and just continually rewatch the first 25 episodes rather than the later 11 and 1 recap one. HM: Kaiji (will only mainly watch the first season rather than first, second, and Middle Manager if spinoffs counted)

Quite a hard choice. Let me first think of things I'd want to have from a show I'll have to watch exclusively for a life-time

  • Length (Given the rule limitations, I'd want it as close to 100 eps as possible)
  • Episodic (Would be tiring after a while to have to go by order and follow an overarching story. I'd just rather randomly pick an episode sit back and enjoy.)
  • SoL (A more personal preference but I feel SoL's have a lot more rewatchability value. You'd already know all the twists and developments in a narrative-focused show after all.)


I think Natsume's Book of Friends is the one that the 3 criteria applies the best. I've only seen a couple episodes before it was put on-hold but am very much willing to continue.

I'd choose Gintama by a mile if there wasn't an episode limit, but because there is, I'd go with Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. It's by far my favorite superpower/sci-fi anime.

Shoutout to u for actually thinking everything through properly for Monogatari and space brothers lol. And I can respect the FMAB and DN choices

HXH 1999. It's long but just under 100 eps, and it has earned the title of my favourite ever anime so I would say that's a justified reason.
pls play jet set radio future for the microsoft xbox. thanks
