I tend to not watch long-running anime due to their length, but they are fun to binge watch when I get around to it.

I personally don't find it intimidating, but I do put it on my Plan to Watch list and let it just stay there while I finish the shorter animes first. But I love long running series because you get to spend more time with the characters and I feel like long running series have a good chance of having a great character development with the characters.

It doesn't intimidate me but I don't really pick up long runners and when I do, they tend to be at the end of my list.

I prefer going through multiple stories versus riding one story for so long. I only watch one anime at a time, so I really put off long runners for that reason as well.

I don't really pick up long runners though in general. Although, a friend recommended me Naruto not too long ago and I added it to my list. Obviously haven't gotten to it though. I don't go out of my way looking for them and kinda just brush them aside.

Although, I might look if I keep hearing enough talk like Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail didn't catch my interest though from what I recall. (I go by the synopsis)

Yeah.. It's intimidating..
Even I, who watched Naruto series (excluding the world war filler), Bleach, and even caught up with One Oiece, still find long running anime scary when I starting Gintama.. Tbh I wonder how in the world I caught up with OP.. Lol XD


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

I never really liked to watch long Animes back then but now I don't have a big problem with that.
Mostly because of Hunter x Hunter and Gintama.


I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate.

Probably not intimidating so much as a massive waste of time.

I avoid long running series. However, if something really interests me, then the more episodes it have — the better!

One Piece...that's all I have to say. I would problem never watch it just because of its length. The only thing that would get me to watch it would be if the anime was regarded as the number one anime unanimously by the community. That would obviously never happen.

I only find One Piece intimidating but in general I like watching long battle shonen anime. Long battle shonen anime for me are more worth remembering than typical short seasonal anime. Like Naruto for me is far more worth remembering than Grimgar. I can remember all the names of the main characters in Naruto but non from Grimgar even the main protagonist's name. OVA boom ovas are way better for short anime than modern late night seasonal anime anyway.
