24-26 is the best. I don't mind 13 episodes, but it should be split-cour like Fate/Zero , Rinne no Lagrange , Jormungand etc. Or get a sequel in around 1-3 years.

24-26, since the story usually gets more complex and you get more character development. But then again when stuff like K-ON!! gets 24 episodes it gets old and boring quickly.

I like watching '11-13 episodes' shows the most. But if the story requires it i don't mind watching 24-26 episodes.

The longer the better. If a show is good, why would you want it to end?

20 to 30 minutes. If it ain't short gags, 10-15 minutes makes for very awkward pace. Over that kind of slows down my watching speed.

For me, any length is ok if the anime is really good.
like [fish](I am not sure the translation of the anime) it was written by Junji Ito.(I suggest read the manga) It had only one episode but really shocked me.Uhm...it is impressive.
[One piece] has 555 episodes(till now), it has coherent plot has a explict thread.
Different mangas(or games or others) fit different length of anime.

Depends on the anime. Certain titles just work better at 12-13 or 24-26 episodes. For really high quality series I'd rather it be shorter and hold on to its' quality instead of dragging it out and degrading the series somewhat.

But I'm also the type that really really loves a long anime that is enjoyable, if it's just a 7-8 out of 10 series to begin with I don't really care if they drag it out as long as it entertains me and I can keep enjoying the characters and plot.

It'll Depend on the anime.. if the anime is good and can be over 20 episodes then thats fine, but if its starting to get all boring and repetitive then it should be around12 or so episodes, I don't really like watching anything over 50 though:P

Mostly I watch twenty six episode anime, but since Story of Saiunkoku was thirty nine per season I would have to say forty or more. But so far that is the only longest anime I enjoy watching.

I do not like twelve episode long animes, it just screams rushed,

24-26. The shorter anime always feel rushed and it always seems like there is more room for a story. The longer anime as too drawn out. 24-26 is just perfect.

24-26 Mostly since majority of the story is build up. I don't mind if the anime has more than 50+ episode but only if its amazing from episode 1 like for example D.gray-man.

Doesn't really matter. If it's good, it's good. But I think I prefer 24+ but draw the line a bit over 100.

1. If you like it, it doesn't matter how many eps there are. I've enjoyed some short OVA's.
2. I find I enjoy a large percentage of two season presentations.
3. If it is great keep going. I loved Monster, Legend of the Galactic Heroes and a lot of Matsumoto, Leiji stuff and made it through half of Bleach, and wished they had kept going with Black Lagoon .

It generally depends on how long the manga is and how they decided to end the anime.

With Fruits Basket I feel 26 episodes was much too short. And while I haven't watched it, I noticed Deadman Wonderland has only 12 episodes which I highly, highly doubt is enough to give the show justice considering how many chapters the manga has.

So I guess how many episodes just doesn't really matter to me. What matters is what they do with those episodes.

There's nothing about me being offened. I was expressing my gratitude thatanime producers decide on the length of an anime on a per anime basis and not some arbitrary(besides the way seasons break down) limited episode count.

while I prefer 12-13 episodes due to shorter length, I find that it's usually not enough time to go through a whole story. most of my highest rated anime is 24-26, so even though I'd like to say a 12-13 episode length is best for me, I'd probably have to stay 24-26.

Well... all of the animes in my favorites are at most 13 episodes. So... I guess I like that length the most? I don't mind episodes that are around 25 or so. Animes that are 50+ usually don't appeal to me.

Insult where? If you feel insulted over what I've said here then that's a personal issue on your part.

I prefer longer anime, so 40+, because there is more space for character development. 12 is also fine with me, but in general I dislike shows with 24-26 episodes.

Depends on the story being told. Some need 24-26 or even 50 episodes. Others can make do with 12-13. Of course, I prefer the Precure to stay near 50 even if it is a simple story.

i like 24-26. it's like the perfect amount, not too short and not too long. 11-13 is too short and leaves a feeling of wanting more. it gets boring when its over 40 episodes.

I don't quite follow your logic. Please enlighten us, how can focusing on the quality of a series rather than the quantity possibly be a negative thing?

Certain anime are better off at 13 eps, some are better at 26, and a few even need 80+ to run its' full course and still be able to maintain quality. (ie. Monster, Legend of the Galactic Heroes)

Err, unless you were saying that in response to Lisnoire's personal preferences, which would be a little ridiculous.
