| Something I've noticed from me and others is a certain sense of "fear" when some anime is too long (I guess it also applies to manga, LNs and VNs). But isn't it a bit weird? No one complains "I HAVE TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE! I HAVE CHOCOLATE TO LAST THE WHOLE YEAR!". If it's good, isn't it good that there's a lot of it? If it's bad, shouldn't you just drop it? I don't understand why I feel it either, why do we have an instinctive fear of anime that are too long? (Larger than 24-26 episodes, though mainly about anime that are 48 episodes or more). |
| Probably because a lot of those cases are "ohh it gets good after X or Y" and the whole thing feels like a chore rather than getting into and experiencing a fun new anime |

| @NS2D So basically experiences which are painful at first but eventually start feeling nice and you start to enjoy it? Something like Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS kinda fits it (The initial episodes are indeed painful), though it's only 2-cours. I couldn't imagine myself using this cope for anything longer than that. |

| @zombie_pegasus I kinda get it. I kinda do prefer taking lots of different ones at the same time rather than being filled to the brim with a single one (It's the reason I haven't read Muv-Luv yet, it would've taken me months only focusing on it). Keeping up with the chocolate analogy: It could be those really black ones that are very hard and taste terribly. I think I once tasted a small tablet that was 85% cocoa or something, and I streamed myself on Discord for a friend just so the experience wouldn't be a waste. But yeah, talk about sour taste... |
| Yeah, somehow weird to me too. I have several theories. Maybe some of those are equally valid or actually none is. - People are afraid of long term commitment, they want the story to be done relatively fast. - Many people binge watch and for some reason splitting the binging into several session is unthinkable? - People have bad experiences with the long going shows of old, some of which had absurd amounts of padding, They hope that a shorter show will be more concentrated. - With multiple entry titles, people believe that shorter separated seasons will have better production quality, since more time will be given for polishing. I kind of agree with athose points (except the binge watching which I think actually ruins the experience and the longest session should be 6-7 episode max), but also I don't think those rules are set in stone. One should go case by case, especially when the different seasons are done by different studios, PS Let's take Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo for example. It has 148 + 25 + 22 episodes + specials + OVAs + pilot + the theatrical version of the movie being different that the same arc in the TV episodes. By the modern standards the first 148 episodes should be garbage and sure, there are many trashy episodes, but also some of the best arcs which punch the hardest. Also the atmosphere and the beloved characters will get you through the worst parts. It becomes sort of ritual and mood fix. Very similar thing with Lupin III, but on a bigger scale with way more seasons, specials and movies. |

| That's a very unemployed way of thinking. If you don't have the time to sit around all day doing nothing but watching anime, then forgetting what the beginning of it was about is a very real possibility, so you are just unable to get through it even if you do like it. Same with the chocolate, it'll just spoil on you. Or like you could make the analogy that binging all that anime is like eating so much chocolate in a short time that you get fat and diabetic. |
| Two reasons: - most anime with a lot of episodes are long running adaptations which means unnecessarily slow pacing, fillers and below average animation quality - if an anime with 100 episodes turns out to be okayish (not particularly good but decent enough not to be dropped), wouldn't that time be better spent watching eight 1-cour anime or four 2-cours anime, hoping to find at least one great anime among them? But you can't drop it because, as I said, it's okayish, not bad. |
NirinboDec 5, 2:47 PM
| Because there is a point to finishing an anime series? It has a beginning and an end. If I stop mid-way, I'm not getting the most out of it, and I kind of wasted the time I've put in so far. Stopping is not an issue when I don't care about the anime, but it's frustrating when I still like the anime overall but find it difficult to continue, due to waning interest, distractions, IRL stuff or whatever. Chocolate isn't a good analogy, because you can stop eating that chocolate at any moment, once you've had your fill. There's no real benefit to working through the whole package from start to finish. |
| Because Pokemon, Naruto, and One Piece became a chore to watch and turned me off from watching any future series that's long and doesn't have 24 episode seasons. |
 |
| Most anime are actually 50+ episodes in total as these seasons are part of the same series and a lot of people already watched such series like my hero academia being 170 eps in total, jojo 190+eps as of now, fullmetal alchemist brotherhood 64 eps, attack on titan nearly 100 eps in total as well. |
| Greatest shitposter under the heavens. Greatest anime tourist on the planet earth. |
| 24? 24!?!?!? Who the heck even has 24 to give? And who wouldn't be afraid of 24? Speaking from personal experience, even 6 or 7 down the hatch is a massive choking hazard, while anything larger than that going "bottoms up" just hurts as it crashes into your innards. |

This was my experience with "A Certain Magical Index" it had a few points that were excellent, especially the Sisters arc (Though to be fair, Railgun still did it better) but the rest of the show was such a slog with boring characters, mediocre animation and awful pacing. Knowing that there's three seasons, each one 26 episodes long... Why would I bother forcing my way through it for a few good scenes?
To explain here but it's not really a fear as much as it is a time commitment thing. I've got limited time in the day and a longer series is more of a commitment. It's part of why I dropped the big 3, I just didn't have the time for massive series like that. I do sometimes try out longer series. I recently watched through Dear Brother, which is 39 episodes long and while I enjoyed it a lot, there's no doubt that it stumbled a bit in the third and final arc (Which, while still good, didn't live up to the previous two) and I've got Beast Player Erin on my PTW list, which is 50 episodes long.
I've generally found 12 - 26 episodes to be the sweet spot in being short enough that it's easy to watch without having to worry about egregious filler but long enough to develop a cast, World and plot before wrapping it up neatly. Sometimes a shorter format is just better for a story, for example; Serial Experiments Lain or Gakkou Gurashi excel with 12/13 episodes, any more than that would have killed their pacing. Though granted on the flipside there are shows that clearly would have benefited from being longer, like Gundam GquuuuuX which desperately needed a longer runtime.
Basically what I'm saying is that it's not a fear of long series, just a personal preference for shorter, self contained narratives.

Lucifrost said: and that the longest anime isn't the best of them The longest anime can be better than eight shorter ones, but it won't change the fact that "one long anime = one attempt to find a great anime" and "eight one-cour anime = eight attempts to find a great anime".

| @zombie_pegasus I mean if you have 80 episodes you do like there's nothing stopping you from burning the remaining 20 from memory. For me Kyojin ends at That 12 episode anime may be easier to finish but the feeling of there being no continuation hits earlier. |
| If it's a series I like, then surely I'll watch it to the end. But it's a sad feeling seeing something you like turn bad because of pointless dragging and unnecessary drama. I guess for me the fear is not because it's long, but because it may overstay its welcome. |

| @thewiru I think the most important thing is my enjoyment. The characters, plot, and art style are also important. I don’t pay much attention to other technical aspects. |
| I dont fear it at all, in fact sometimes it can be really good because I like to see how anime evolves during its multiple seasons and I really dislike rushed stuff specially at the end. What Im many times worried is that I dont like to be "sucked" by the anime so i only watch the show all day, I try to watch an episode a day (tho, I even for that I have been failing lately), so starting an anime with many episodes/seasons is a long time commitment on my side. |

| @thewiru You can't just make random statements like that without context. Like a video game you can spend a lot of time into, because the gameplay itself is fun, even if repetitive, getting better at it is fun in itself. But some people don't want or can't sink 60+ hours into a game of moderate length. Anime has no gameplay, how can you keep the story going on for so long? Side stories and arcs, that don't necessarily contribute all that much to the plot progression. I mean those are sometimes good, if not better than the core story, Monster comes to mind. But everything long eventually will have really bad parts to it, it's inevitable. |
Depends on how long is "Longer".
The biggest factor is time. I can chose to spend it watching one long series that might not end of being any good or a whopping 25 shorter anime with a higher chance of being good, that seems to be a more efficient use of my time. |

No one complains about having too much chocolate or having too much sex... and it's not like anyone is forced to perpetually non-stop keep shoving shit like chocolate down their throat or keep thrusting their cock up inside a woman either. That’s because Japanese anime isn’t fucking chocolate, sex, or even your gramma's dirty underpants. lol Anime is more like a dream of being handed a harem of chicks where one is able eat out each ones pussy 1st and being told “Don’t fucking worry, if the shit taste bad you can just stop". instead of perpetually keep shoving that shit on ones tongue. No one has a gun to their head forcing them to keep licking anymore than watching any shit once one has start it. lol Cool. Except:
Length isn’t “more = better”. Length is risk. Risk of shit like filler. Risk of pacing faceplants. Risk of budgets evaporating mid-run. Risk of investing 30+ hours just to realize a story could’ve been told effectively and entertainingly in way less fucking time. “If it’s good, shouldn’t it be good that there’s a lot of the shit?” Sure... in the same way a book, movie, or conversation is good until it keeps talking past the point it had something to say. 'People' aren’t afraid of long anime. They’re afraid of being told “just keep going” by people who clearly have way more infinite free time and zero standards than most. lol If anything, don't fucking look at this medium like your trying to put notches on your belt every time you get to fuck a woman up her ass. Just watch shit without even looking at its total run time, and if the shit doesn't land for you and you aren't actually enjoying it, just stop and don't finish the shit. Just because one starts fucking a woman up her ass and then suddenly she tells them she has to take a dump and can't hold it, they don't have to keep going till they finish... they can fucking stop at that point. lol 'People' who hesitate at long running shit aren’t usually scared either... they have likely not been into this medium long enough and are not use to experiencing extremely long running shit to begin with. Where 'people' who have been really deep into this medium for decades and decades, usually have watched enough shit, even before MAL existed as it is, to know better than to treat this medium like a competition or scoring sheet. Time is finite, backlogs are real, and no story automatically earns unlimited commitment just by existing, even if most modern Users who have only been into this shit for no longer than a decade, to me seem like a majority all suffer from some shit like ADHD. lol But none of that means long anime are bad or that people who like them are wrong. It just means length isn’t a fucking virtue by default... it’s a variable. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it absolutely doesn’t. Treating the runtime of an anime like a badge of honor is newbie logic too. 'People' who have been into this medium for Decades-plus don’t ask, “how long is this shit?” because they’re scared either… they ask because they don’t usually have hours, days, weeks, and months of their life to waste, and they’ve already sat through enough episode 37s two decades ago to know that restraint is what usually separates memorable shows from glorified fucking marathons. So yeah, watch whatever you want, however long you want. Just don’t fucking confuse endurance with taste, or finishing everything with comprehension. At some point, that isn’t fandom... it’s just poor time management with fucking badly localized subtitles. The shit is almost as worse than each season mindless dumping dozens and dozens of seasonal slop against ones eyes to watch just for imaginary clout. lol |

| There are few decent stories which need more than ten hours or so to tell. Too much time suggests you're likely to get a lot of sub-par content in there, either delaying moving the story forward for no good reason or just having a long series of events rather than a story which is about something. |

| I personally fall into a weird category, where I avoided anime like FMA: B for a long time because I didn't feel like watching 64 episodes but read book series that took more than a year to finish LISTENING to (not even reading smh). I generally tend to read longer book/light novel series instead of one-off books, as opposed to anime where I mostly watch 1-3 seasons long shows. Watching season 1 and then reading the whole LN series has happened multiple times to me, I'm too impatient to wait for them to make more of the anime and I know that the story is good already, so I went into the anime with low commitment (1-2 seasons) and pivoted to even series as long as 30+ volumes. Might have something to do with Zarutaku said: Because people instinctively try to avoid a sunk cost fallacy. |

Yeah? Well, some people are busy. Some people just can't go like this: "Hey, I love Chocolate, I will sit down and eat for the next hundred hours. I don't have a life. Screw it."
But since we're not really here to discuss the logic or the validity of these broad and made up claims you just made... but rather to stroke your ego, for the 5th time this week.
Here you go:
I Know! It's crazy. I don't think they are real Anime-Fans, like you.
People are so afraid. I think these are these "Normies", you're discussing, in your other Threads. What about the culture? What about the art?
It really needs people like you to make sure these things stay well and truly important or at least are being brought into the limelight. To make sure Tradition and history within the community won't get lost.
Thank you for your Service, Sir.

| @thewiru I will tell you. She asked the question sarcastically and likely does not expect a response. |

| To me 12-24 episodes are long enough if you want to make it longer having several seasons that are some months or years apart is good. 52 episodes works fine as well but it´s better if they are split in to seasons. Biggest issue for me when they are to dang long aka Naruto, One piece, Bleach and so on they are to damn long to get in to and often more than not when they are to long they kind of overstay their welcome and become rather annoying. I started Food wars and after seasons 2 I just lost interests because it became to samey. I know I nag about anime´s I love to get a S2 or 3 but that because I want a proper ending to them and most of the same they don´t to the same thing over and over and maybe they are just more my style. Give me more of Super Cub S2 or After School Dice Club or Dungeon People or Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater. They deserve to be a bit longer. |
