| I prefer seasons. I don't care how many, but a format like BNHA or Natsume Yuujinchou that gets 10-20 something episodes per season just feels easier to handle and more manageable than longer running series like Naruto, Fairy Tail, etc. Of course shorter series like Death Parade, are the most preferable. But even for longer series, broken down into shorter series just feels better. |
 |
| Long running anime has a lot of fillers and repeated scenes, which I hate the most. (e.g Naruto, One Piece etc) So short ones to the point story based seasons are best. |
 |
| Dependss but both are okay for mee:) |
| short anime seasons of long running series are great because you will get more budget per season and have some amazing animation to look forward to |
| depends on the anime, but i'm fine with both. |
| Medium run anime better than long or short run certainly at least 2 cours required to fill neat contents even all my favorites contains at least 24+ eps except Angel Beats |
 |
| I'm a big fan of long running series. Though i also like short running series. |

| Shorter series, I cannot commit week by week to any series that’s why all the airing series I want to watch are on hold until they end |

| I prefer longer running, because that commitment of funding by the producers gives more freedom for pacing, world building, and character development. If the screenwriters are never sure if there is a sequel, they are forced to to equivalent of quaterly thinking narration with pseudo-finales. |
 |
| I like Long running series overall. They are lot more forgivable for me compared to a short series. Most Short series are unfortunately uncomplete (with little content) or anime original. At least should it should have decent length of episode. I am definitely not gone give high score (like 10/10) to a really short series ( my lowest episode count favorite is itazura na kiss is 25 episode and other favorites are 30+. Also now that i check my list anime like The Great Passage, tatami galaxy and ping pong are stuck at 9 because I am subconsciously critical about episode count). but still its a lot easier to watch short series ( especially when u don't like the anime very much). On the other hand if its a series I like then i would desire it to be long. |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| Longer running or complete anime. Don't like anime that runs for only two or three seasons but doesn't have an actual conclusion. |
 |
| Long running prefer-Just sit aside and watch till the end. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| I like the shorter ones because I barely have the time to invest in long-term shows. I am currently watching some long-terms shows but that's because my friends have watched them and want me to watch them. |
 |
| Attack on Titan has 72 eps and counting, and although it seems long, for me it felt like I breezed through it because of how good it was. It all comes down to the content and how much you enjoy watching it, it even influences how long the series seems to the viewer, at least imo. As for animation, only if it dips to an unwatchable level of quality for majority of the episodes will I drop it; and by unwatchable I mean something like the last two episodes of Evangelion, holy hell were they shit. |
 |
| i prefer seasonal if its like My Hero Academia that is yearly release with good quality animation and less to no fillers |
| Short ones with great plot is best. Long seasonal ones with great plot and no filler is good. Long seasonal ones with 3-4 filler episodes per season is acceptable. Long not seasonal ones (like Naruto or 1P) with really much fillers is not acceptable for me. (They can be good but I cannot handle it :D) |
| “In the battlefield, there is no place for hope. What lies there is only cold despair and a sin called victory, built on the pain of the defeated. All those people who met there have wholeheartedly admitted the evil and foolishness of this act called war. As long as people don’t repent and don’t regard it as the most evil taboo, then hell will endlessly reappear in the world.” – Kiritsugu Emiya |
| Obviously shorter. The only long I watched is D.Gray-man. I'm sure I never gonna watch Naruto, One Piece, and other very long anime. |
| Whichever isn't a borefest and isn't stretched is a good choice. (I am looking at you Log Horizon season 3) |

| I prefer shorter series with seasons. Seeing 3 seasons of 12 episodes make me want to watch a show more then a single 36 episode show. Also i've dropped shows with long episode counts (Fairy Tale come into mind), while Initial D with 6 seasons felt easy to watch |
   Has a 8.60 mean score Akasaka > Other Mangakas  |
| series def !! it feels like it has a clearer direction(?) |
| Hmm, this is a very good question. Ideally, I wouldn't actually know how long a show is while watching it, nor how many seasons it has. Unfortunately, this is rather difficult to achieve. Given that I generally know beforehand how long a show is, it can sometimes happen that I avoid picking up shows with large numbers of episodes (particularly > 4 cours), given that I'm unsure I want to commit myself for that long. There aren't that many such series, but for example I know this is one reason I haven't casually jumped into Saint Seiya despite being curious about it. Because of this, perhaps splitting up a show into multiple seasons could be useful. However, doing so can affect the storytelling -- for example, the writers may intentionally try to to wrap up story arcs or end things on climaxes or cliffhangers at the ends of seasons. Ideally I wouldn't know how far into a story I am while I'm in the midst of it, either, but while (again) that's hard to achieve these days, I still think it might not be ideal to have these stopping points after every cour or so. To be fair, a show need not follow such writing decisions, but I'm not unaware that anime is a commercialized art form and this can influence the presentation even though I don't want it to. |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Anything past 2 cours per season is overkill, I prefer a shorter series with fewer seasons. The only long exceptional anime that I appreciated long running series was Gintama. |
| I prefer the 40-50 episodes range. This is where the best shows tend to be and most shows at this range tend to be at least okay. Eureka Seven, Code Geass (2 seasons combined) etc. That said, there are also shows have long episode counts that really should have stopped at 24 or less (like RZ). |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| mmmm tbh my limit for long running anime was naruto. id like to give one piece a try but damn... the more i think about trying it out, new episodes keep coming out(ಠ‿ಠ) and im there like HEEEELLPPPP. but i usually prefer seasons. :) |

| I prefer shorter series. The chance that I'd get tired of a show is lower + less fillers + higher rewatchabily. Even if the entire franchise is 100 episodes total, if it's divided into seasons, it's easier to consume. |
| Its painful to wait for sequels so I'd prefer longer running ones, more like the ones that are fully adapted at once. |
I am a useless student of society. Tests are my body and Grades are my blood. I have done over a thousand assignments. Unseen by teachers, nor done properly. Yet, those hands shall never hold an outstanding grade. So, as I pray... Unlimited Homeworks. |
| They both have their own merits, I would argue... Seasonal shows have the benefit of consistency and pacing. They don't need filler, they don't need dips in animation quality to compensate for staff shortages because of scheduling, and they can be done by any studio because it's easy to manage a franchise when only one entry comes out per year or something similar. They also take less budget since the management of season-based shows is probably easier on both the producers and the studio. The thing is, the hype and frequency of discussions dies down between seasons, and having to wait for new content every year is painful for most fans. That's not mentioning that seasonal shows will sometimes trade studios because one goes bankrupt, and if it's J.C. Staff or Studio DEEN replacing your franchise's animators, well... good luck keeping your fanbase alive there. Longrunners have the benefit of a truly unique experience as well as a hype train that's always firing on all cylinders. When you finish a longrunner, it just hits different; you probably spent a large portion of your life - a few months up to a few years - finishing it, and that feeling of having gone on an adventure is something you won't get anywhere else. Oh, and there's always a new episode every week, so the hype train just keeps rolling and rolling. Unfortunately, the tradeoff is that they will inevitably need filler and dips in quality to compensate for how much content they're pushing out, and of course, these can only be done by pretty much Pierrot and Toei as they are the only ones with the resources and the experience necessary. There are exceptions like FMA:B and Monster, but they are far and few between. Overall, I prefer the latter, but I wish they would be done after the Manga has finished or maybe a dozen chapters before the Manga ends. That way, we would get the best of both worlds. |
| I like my long running series actually. It's hard to describe but it feels way more enjoyable and relaxing despite the slow pacin and fillers at times. It's a nice feeling being able to slowly catch up or finish a series where you're hundreds of episodes behind in. |
 |
| I definitely prefer 12-24 episode anime over long running anime. |
| I kinda like the longer animes that have hundreds of episodes |
