It felt like filler and it was really boring and honestly there was no point of it, it didn't progress the series in any way. Those stuffs i mentioned above dont click with SAO imo. And thats why its annoying sometimes. |

| It took me more than 2 years to finish the first season of haikyuu. I loved it, though. |
 |
| I've been watching Gurren Lagann since last year December. I have no idea why it's taking me so long. It's not even bad, it's actually really good but I just get lazy and tend to do something else. |
 |
| I'm still watching Kemono no Souja Erin and it's been 3 months or so. I enjoy watching it periodically more though as gives me a better sense of progression. |
 |
| Kiznaiver at 167 days. Got almost all the way through, then stopped and remembered I was watching it like a few months later |
 |
| Bakemonogatari took me 3 years to finish Same for Code Geass and Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai There also have been a lot of anime I began four or five years ago and still haven't finished Not that I hate these animes tho (I even like Monogatari Series and Code Geass now I did finish them actually) |
| So true and weird to see how common it is, they can be shows you like and enjoy watching but no matter how short they are some shows just take extra long to finish. For me it was To Be Hero, only 12 episodes and each episode is only 11 minutes long. For some reason it took me months to finish this series. I really enjoyed the series and didn't have the same problem with the sequel. It is odd, maybe I was just really bad at making the time to watch that particular series or maybe other shows I was watching at the same time often took priority. |

-Aincrad- said: Just an example: For now, I've been watching Psycho Pass's first season for about 9 weeks, even though it's only 22 episodes, so not long at all I enjoy it, it's a good anime, but for some reason I keep stopping watching it for a short period of time, and watch something else meanwhile, then continue it Shakugan no Shana season 3 took me 4 years to finish. No joke. I watched about 20 episodes over a month back in 2014 and I finished it around september last year. God I hated it. BUT FUCK IT ENDED SO PERFECTLY. Shit pissed me off so much I stopped watching with 4 episodes left even though it was one of my favorite series ever at the time and I was at the stage where I watched anything and everything. |

| Promised Neverland took me 3 months to finish |
  |
| Asassination classroom, watched the first few episodes 3 years ago, i haven’t touched it since. and it’s not like i even lost interest i just have been consistently distracted with other shit and haven’t gotten the motivation to come back |
 |
| Took me 3 months to watch Fate Zero... |

| A little more than 2 months ago I started watching Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru with 23 episodes. I'm at ep 13 now but im really busy atm |
 plz @ me |
| I watch almost all my anime weekly, so a 12 ep series would take me 3 months to finish. Best ex for this thread would be hello kiniro mozaic which took me 1 year to watch it, I put it on on hold list and let it rot there, but then I said: lets finis it, karen was cute. |
    |
| Chuunibyou. Idk why it took me so long to get through those 12 episodes, but I just refused to drop it, as it was a recommendation from a friend. Needless to say I thought it was the epitome of mediocrity, but I stuck it out. Must've taken me like four months though. |

| Took me a couple of years to finish both Aria and Clannad. The former because I wanted to only watch it when I'm on the right mood, which wasn't the case all that often. The latter because it was very tedious to watch and I only foced myself through it because I wanted to know what the big deal about AS was. I can say that while AS has a handful of great episodes it was overall not worth the trouble. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| It took me five years to finish Death Note. Started it 2010, dropped around episode 27 or so, then tried rewatching it a couple more times until I FINALLY finished it in 2015. Runner up goes to Mirai Nikki, which I started in around 2014-2015 but finished in 2018. EDIT: Totally forgot about Attack on Titan. Watched a good bit of it when it was coming out, but only finished it around the beginning of January this year. That might take the cake. |
 |
| It took me around 2 years to finish Nichijou, despite really enjoying it. I just think at one point I wanted to take a break and watch something that wasn't episodic... and never bothered coming back to it. The only reason I ended up finishing it was because Crunchyroll ended their partnership with Funi and it was going to be removed from their site, lmao. Funnily enough, when I finally got round to watching the last few episodes I'd been saving for years... I realised that it wasn't enough and I wanted more episodes. Its too good of a show. |

| To Love-ru, took me 33 weeks to watch 26 episodes. It's just one of those Anime that have a more episodic approach instead of story arcs, which makes it easy to forget you were watching it. |
 |
| Evangelion I think took about 3 months for me to complete, everything on my on hold and dropped are gonna take longer tho lol |
   Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything… Wouldn’t that be great? |
| There are so many I could add here lol. When I first started watching anime, I was so picky that if I wasn't engrossed in the first 2 minutes, I would just move on and find another one. So, because of that, there were so many gems that I missed out on. Here are a few: - Gurren Lagann (Started this in about 2016, finished it yesterday) - Shiki (Probably 2017 but I'm binging it now because omg it's so good what was I thinking) - Kill la Kill (took about 2 years to finish that) And there's so many left that are stuck in my "I'll finish it eventually" list, like Re;Zero, Steins;Gate and Haikyuu |
| probs death note i think it took me like 3 months to finish the show |
   ｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆｡ from the days that i've lived those i had spent with you, seemed real 月光 |
| I started A Certain Magical Index in summer 2016 and I finished it January of this year. I didn't even hate it that much, but every time I thought of watching it, my brain would literally shut down. I skipped the opening, recap, ending and preview of every episode and forced myself through it... I'm on to Railgun finally. |
| Serial Experiments Lain took me almost a year to finish, because I put it on hold after episode 8. I came back a year later and restarted it from the beginning and enjoyed it more than my initial viewing. |
| Sword Are Online season one took me 4 years to complete. I don't even know why I completed it... |
 |
| I've had Hataraku Maou-sama! on hold since like August. It's not even that I don't like it, I just distract myself with other shows. I guess you could also technically say Kill la Kill since I tried watching it and stopped (twice!) before I could fully commit about two years after the first time I tried watching it. |
| I've had the first season on Initial D on hold since February last year and still haven't touched it |
| Too many to name. I do it frequently where I stall anime for years and then come back to them sometimes to the point where I have to re-watch them from the beginning. The most recent anime I took years to complete was Shirobako, which I had started watching when it was originally airing back in 2014, but I just finished watching it earlier this month. More than four years after I started it. Honestly don't know what took me so long. After I stalled it on episode 6 I watched an episode in 2016, one in 2017, one in 2018, and then after watching episode 10 I gathered up the enthusiasm to finish the series. I enjoyed it. I just have to be in the mood sometimes to watch something and it took me that long to be in the right mood. I still haven't finished several series that have been stalled for YEARS. But, I'll get back to them eventually... |
 |
| I took around two weeks to complete Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu (Parasyte: The Maxim) - the show has around 24 episodes. |
| It took me one year to finish the 3rd season of Boku no Hero Academia. I started watching when it was airing, decided to take a break a 6 month break from anime when I was on episode 24, and I just finished the last episode last week after getting back into anime. Same situation for Hataraku Saibou, though it started airing in summer and I stopped at episode 8. Though, this anime only has 13 episodes. |
| 520 days to complete the 1st season of Boku No Hero Academia as when I watched it the 1st time I dropped it and just couldn't get in to it. Now it is one of my fave anime |

| I started watching Monster in 2017. It's currently 2019 and I'm still only on episode 20. It's not even a bad show. I love it, it's just so hard to commit to a long show |
   |
| Definitely, 2nd Season of Tales of Zestiria took me over a year to complete... and last 2 episodes of Steins GAte 0 more than 5 weeks :D |
| Bamboo Blade I guess. Started it many years ago.. then I had "no drop policy" so I somehow watched 1-2 eps mby a year.. then eventually I didnt touch it for like 3 years.. and then eventually when I picked it up again and when I already had dropped my "no drop policy" then I picked, watched 1 ep, dropped. |
 |
| many anime i completed were in onhold limbo for years, and some still are. i guess 5 years for some |
