Do you think it's gonna happen or is it impossible?

No:
1. Nothing is perfect
2. How does a show satisfy you so well that you never watch anything ever again?

There is one !!! Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 😎👍


You still can't call it a perfect anime though..... But that's the closest you can get to an anime that has everything !!

No. A perfect anime won't cause people to stop watching anime, everyone's still watching anime even after the Ghost Stories dub

The honest truth here, unbiased:

Absolutely none.

Even FMAB and HxH are not exactly perfection, in all honesty, though there’s the closest you can get. Close but oh so far, to sum it up. Heck, even Legend of the Galactic Heroes isn’t as perfect as retro elitists make it out to be.

Also, idk why you need to think about not needing to watch anime again unless you have absolutely severe personal issues involving family, finances, or some other important stuff.

No there isn't. Even if you found one, why would it make you stop watching anime? A perfect anime would be one that is regarded as best by the whole anime community, which is practically impossible.

definitely not, no. even if there was some perfect, flawless anime, it isn't going to make me drop the entire medium, because there's obviously still going to be some amazing stuff to watch and experience

No, If there is a perfect Anime, people would find more Anime that will be as good as a masterpiece for satisfaction.

Although the time I finished Clannad After Story it made me stop watching for a short while and rethink my life but that was due to a little bit of depression.

An absolute perfect anime for everyone does not exist. But, to be fair, it can exist an anime that is perfect to you. An anime you wouldn't change anything about, an anime u loved everything about.
About the "not needing to watch anime again" part, I think it's quite the opposite, after ur done watching that, u'll always be seeking for something that can match that level.

Maybe after watching alot of anime and I mean alot of anime. Your love for anime might start to fizzle out due to the fact that alot of anime are similar and use some of the same tropes. which nothing is wrong with that...but you can only watch so many series about romance and action before your like seen that done that. I am coming to that point now where I want to watch something fresh and new.

It is impossible to have a perfect show, to start. I'm positive there's a show out there for everyone that they might consider a masterpiece, however. In my experience, after watching shows that I consider masterpieces, it left me stunned (because the experience was out of this world), but ultimately wanting more. I wanted to find that next masterpiece to satiate my hunger. I'm sure it's like that for almost all people after watching a spectacular show.

tl;dr: No.

If there were, it'd have to be extremely long in order to have everything I ever wanted and yet also have enough stuff in between to make it make sense setting-wise.

It's not like I'm watching anime for the sole purpose of finding the perfect one. The process itself can be enjoyable even with bad shows. And even if I see something perfect today, I'll find what to criticise there tomorrow, perfection isn't really a permanent thing.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes, while objectively not perfect, has pretty much everything I personally like in a story, so for my taste it's about as good as I can hope for. And yeah, I didn't stop watching anime after watching that.

I think it would only have to be as long as a season of Fairy Tail.

No. I like anime to have variety. I like finding shows that will surprisingly entertain me. To unified one show into perfection and never watch anime again, would be less exciting to my experience.

No, no anime is, nor ever will be perfect. And I also like variety, so just watching single anime wouldn't be for me. If it existed it would likely became my favorite anime, but it wouldn't mean that I would watch no other anime ever again. But I don't think that even could exist, simply because there are so many different themes to explore that aren't compatible with one another, or it would be far beyond scope of one series to cover them all no matter what even if they were compatible.

I haven't had the urge to watch anime since I saw Evangelion in March, but maybe that has more to do with anime fatigue.
After watching the Patlabor movies this month I might actually quit anime for good, never thought I'd actually grow out of it.

I don't know if something quite as perfect is ever achievable. It may be subjective, as perfect can still have flaws, but minor, or without any flaws. I think every anime is susceptible to flaws just as any other form of show or media. Doesn't mean anime cannot obtain near-perfect score.

No anime can be perfect for every1 as a whole but personally we can have animes which we regard as such. For me NGE is perfection. But it didn't make me quit watching anime. Why exactly would a perfect anime stop me from watching more? No seriously why?

Out of everything I've watched, I've only given a 10 to 2 anime, and even those I wouldn't consider perfect. So this probably won't happen anytime soon.

Well a perfect anime would be an anime that you keep understanding and exploring new stuff even when you watch it few times. The depth must surpass my understanding capability. And It must look beautiful so that It takes me to its aesthetic world.
It would be Angel's Egg mixed with Shelter. But there is no perfect anime.... yet. :)

No, because perfect is subjective.

It is possible however to have an anime in the future (unlikely but possible) that goes on for so long that you literally couldn't watch another anime without interrupting yourself. It took me 40 days to catch up to Gintama, so theoretically it would have to be like more than 10,000 episodes and still mange to maintain people's interest.

Doesn't matter, my perfect form of media ever is Clannad AS, but its not enough to stop me from watching other anime; in fact the desire to find art like it probably causes me to watch more than it discourages me.
Art is dead, and we killed it.

That's way too long. I'd get sick of something that long, no matter what it was.
