say 25-30-50 episodes long? Where as also there's plenty of anime that are only 12 or 13 episodes per season.

I mostly watch short to medium series. None of those 500+ ones.

depends on how much time you have
1 episode is 20-23 minutes these days, which means 8-11 hours of total screentime of 25-30 episode series

a 50-ish episode series would be 18-20 hours long, so you technically could spend anywhere from a month to a day finishing one of any of the above

Well, I managed to watch 750 episodes of the One Piece anime in about a month.

Depending on my level of engagement, I can watch upto a 26 episode series in one day, but generally, even if the show is fully aired, It takes me a few days to finish.

Unless I get swamped as a result of switching hobbies or just generally falling behind on airing anime I tend to watch 2-3 episodes of a series a day.
So for a 50 episode series like 2 weeks idealistically but more likely a month if I put it off for a reason similar to stated above.

If you watch a few episodes every day, you should be able to finish a 26-episode anime in a week. Of course the more interesting an anime is, and the more time you have to spare, the faster you'll finish the series.

I spent 8-9 hour per series for 13 episodes series but I spent two days for 24 episodes series cause I don't watched it all day long so it took a bit longer than I suppose.

Few days? I say 5 days or so for me. Maybe a week, or months depending of my motivation.

Episodes are usually about 20 mins long if you cut the OP/ED, so multiply that by however many episodes.

I can usually watch at least a cour if it's the weekend or I have plenty of spare time, so 25-30 episodes are 2 days and 50 episodes are 3 days

depends on how much time as a general rule with long runners i usually wait for them to finish airing to watch them in a sitting on a weekend when im not working to much.

for anime over 500+ i.e Inuyyasha, Fairy tial etc i watch a few episodes forget about it for a while then get back to it.

With 1.5x speed a 12 episode season is 16 min x 12 = 3 hrs at 12 min approx.
With 1.75x speed it's around 12 min x 12 = 2hr and 25 min approx.
Normal is around 4hr and 30 min

Well, if I'm procrastinating on some other things.... I usually finish 12-13 episodes within the day. 24-26 episodes, about two days. I once finished a 200+episode anime within 8 days, and it was simultaneous with the first week of classes.

i watch everything though i prefer to avoid 12-13 eps. they're too short and they NEVER END. omg i hate them. though i've been tolerating them more lately since i started participating in seasonals. i love watching long series though i think it's best to watch 24-26eps- a medium episode count like 50-100ish. in my experience, it doesn't take as much time as people think to watch a series even those long ones people tend to not like. *well seem to anyway*. i watched detective conan which has about 800eps or so in idr maybe a year ish. i think i was a junior when i started watching and then i think i caught up when i was a senior. i need to catch up again. just watch a little bit at a time. no need to rush. though if it's really interesting i always find the time to watch somehow. i'm sure you will too if it's really that good. detective conan is by far, the longest show i've ever seen though. i usually don't pick up shows that long but i'm not really against watching anything. i just pick up whatever looks good. detective conan looked pretty good though honestly with that show you could pick up almost anywhere and still not miss much. it's a mystery of the week show for the most part. though there is a little plot with the black organization but that only really moves every 100 or so eps. usually it's just a random mystery.

50eps in 3 days? i know i watch a lot of anime but omg how is that possible? i can only.... well actually.... i guess when i was a kid i was able to watch about 20 episodes a day so i guess 50 episodes in 3 days isn't that crazy. though that'd be near impossible for me now. i don't have that kind of time. i sure wish i could go back to be a silly anime loving 12 year old with no responsibilities. life sucks sometimes. why do i have to be an adult with responsibilities anyway?

That's under the assumption that I have no responsibilities and I'm completely left alone to do whatever I want lol.

But that's never going to happen.

On a typical workday, I can manage 8 per day, so a 50 episode would take me slightly less than a week. That also generally doesn't happen since I like to watch about 2-3 different anime series per day

Kinda a shared-sentiment among grown ups, that we hardly have any time for leisure and hobbies and we spend most of our time working and looking after the family.

I used to watch a lot of anime and read plentiful of manga when I was a kid. It was like I had the whole world of time for anything and everything.

Nowadays, I still continue watching/reading anime and manga, but at a reduced rate and lesser time. When I am freer, I can read about 10 to 15 chapters on a given day but sometimes I can only read 1 chapter. Similarly for anime, it is about 8 to 10 episodes when time permits, but otherwise 1 or none even for a week or longer.

I guess as we grow older, we shoulder more responsibilities and the commitment in life keeps us occupied most of the time. Kind of like more life fulfillment and challenges. :)

Most I'll get round to is half a 24-26 episode series a day.
Most I'll watch in a day is 20 episodes but I like to watch more than one series to keep variety.

If I'm busy at time generally a week or two. 12 episode animes, if it's really good a day is enough to finish it. Mostly to me it's up to how much the it captivates me. If it does yeah gimme 3 days at most.

50 episodes on your rest day? You mean... within a day?? How fast are you watching each episode? O.O

Varies from person to person.

I just knocked out FMA 2003 over three months, but the last 11 episodes were in a binge. That was a 51 episode series. I recently killed off Claymore in a month, but I watched that in 6-8 episode chunks, and that was a 26 episode series.

Yes yes, but was it on 1.5x speed? Or something? Or just normal speed?

Depends on the day and anime for me. I can watch a 25 episode anime in a day or two, depends if I work or not. 50 episodes would take me about 2-3 days. I can easily finish a 12 episode anime in a day, unless I don't really enjoy it much. I'm watching shouwa genroku right now and it'll take me about 2 days to finish because I haven't really enjoyed it at all.

If an anime is very immersive an entertaining, I'd watch it episode by episode all the way.

If not, years and years, stuck in my On Hold list.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Just normal speed. Well, if i do the math, i think 20 mins or so per episode x 50 then divide by 60mins, it'll only take 16 hrs of my time :D

4.7 hours for a 13 episode series and 9.5 hours for a 26 episode series. Some episodes might take longer or shorter depending on if I skim through it or watch the openings. Each episode is on average 22 minutes long.

It really depends on how much and how willing you are to watch it.

It really depends on how much you enjoy the show, I got really invested in Golden Time and finished it (26 episodes) in under 24 hours which was amazing for me. Really depends.

I usually maintain 20-25 episodes a day if i'm not busy, so i get to finish 2 short series and for long series like OP, I think i can finish it for 1 and a half month.
