pick a number

That would be the case if you leave out "overly long" and the implication that any unnamed anime will be repetitive just because of the number of episodes. Length is one thing, how repetitive a show is another matter. That's why I put the "almost" in there. It's something you can't know till you try it, but you can easily infer it. And your inclusion of almost removes the negative connotation of that comment? No, it does not. You also can infer quality or enjoyment just from episode count.Oh I almost forgot who I am dealing with. OFC you can guess about the quality but that guess would be no more accurate than guessing what short series will be enjoyable before watching them. |

No, because the comment itself doesn't have negative connotations. The series follows the same pattern through hundreds of episodes, so it's repetitive. If that something actually makes my interest decrease it's another thing (and it's not always like that, I felt comfortable with the House episodic routine and, as said, watched a lot of The Simpsons episodes which are based on quirks of the same characters). And by the way, I am not guessing about the quality (what a pointless thing to do), I am guessing about the content, which I also do with short series. |

Too bad you said "overly long" as that comes off as negative. And by the way, I am not guessing about the quality (what a pointless thing to do), I am guessing about the content, which I also do with short series. Except you're not talking about the content. You simply remarking about the very nature of serialized story telling, repetition and consistency. Nothing of what you said is unique to long anime. A single series following an established pattern is how people in this reality create their stories. A longer series just means more of that particular pattern while shorter series have less. |

| Damn, my max is like 40. .-. |
 |
| I vote 500. But obviously they are doing something right to last that long. |

|
| Over 26 is considered long in my book, I don't watch a lot of these. |
| Lol, where's the 26 plus episodes button? All of those options are long! |

| Anything over 50 i consoder long. |
Enjolras1830 said: Forest-kun said: Lol, where's the 26 plus episodes button? All of those options are long! in my taste 13 hours is not long if i have a free day i could watch almost two i aday I could easily finish a 26 episode series in 2 days if I devote enough time to it, but I rarely do. It's hard for me to sit and watch series like that without taking breaks and jumping around to others, so it takes me awhile to complete them. For that reason, I feel like the majority of things I watch are short oneshots or the like or 13 episode series. That's why 26 seems long to me. Although, I suppose anything above that, like in the 40's or 50's, would be what I really consider to be "long", whereas 26 can be long or short, whatever it feels like. But all the options on that poll are still too long. ^^V |
| anything with fillers is too long in my book Snorefest 12 ep anime can also feel like an eternity also (ie. Haibane Renmei + Aria) |
 |
| The poll isn't very good. The vast majority of anime do not run over 1 year, therefore anything 1 year or over is 'long', or at least 'longer then most other anime', which is what we are comparing to. |
 |
| I cant stomach anything above 50. |
 |
| 100+ is long to me, but then again, I've been stalled at some series like Soul Eater and it feels long. I'm gonna go with the 150+ option like most people, that's 62 and a half hours of anime if we're going by 25-minute episodes. |

Enjolras1830 said: If that is true, then the definition of a long anime has also changed to accompany the shorter titles. 3000+? That is less then 1% of anime series that have been produced. If that's true, the same would apply to short, and only 1 episode would be consider short. 2 episodes falls into the 'normal' length if you are going for extremes, but I'm sure most people would consider 2 episodes short, just like most people would consider a couple hundred episodes to be long.egoplant said: The poll isn't very good.

|
| i wouldnt watch anything over 50+ unless the series was that good |
| How did you come up with the choices, is what I'm more interested in. -- Anyway, I would say the main categories would be the around 1-26 around 40-60 around 100 and up. |
 |
| Probably 50+ |
| A series with more than 30 episodes is really long for me... |
 |
| Either 51 epis + or many seasons one's. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| 25+ Yes. Really. Pretty long for an animu wimp like me, anyways. |
| Considering the options the OP has given, the only anime I've ever even heard of which had more than 700 episodes was Sazae-san and, if I remember correctly, it has them well in the thousands. (Also Doraemon, if I'm not mistaken, but that's about it). More to the topic, I thought anything comprising fifty or more episodes was a long anime. |
 |
| I usually refrain from watching anything over 100 episodes, but I'm taking Gintama as an exception. To me, below 12 episodes is short. ~26 episodes is my medium length, anything above 50 is long and above 100 is very long. However, I'm sure that my views are skewed and invalid, considering that the OP is ~the historian of this medium~ who thinks his opinions are facts because he has 3459 entries in his Completed list. |
| first option is 150? really? |

| Something along the lines of how many episodes One Piece has... Like... WHAT DO YOU DO FOR THAT MANY EPISODES. |
 |
| To be completely honest anything over 26 episodes... hell sometimes if an anime is 26 eps long and very slow-paced it can be tedious. I can't imagine watching anime with 100+ eps unless I'm VERY invested in the story and don't even mention 1000... that's just absurd from my perspective. I tend to like OVA's and movies more than long series. It might be a habit of our generation that we would rather see a little of everything rather than a lot of the same thing. |

 |
| In general, I'd say anything over 70. However, the vast majority of the time, it's all relative. If I am really enjoying the anime, 70 will seem short. If I am not enjoying the anime, 70 will seem like an eternity. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| 30+ is usually already pushing the limits in my opinion. |
 |
| More than 26 is long for me. |
| More than 26 episodes is long for me... |
 |
| Anything that has more than 80 episodes is considered long to me. |

| The poll options are quite hilarious, especially since about 98% of Enjolras' own anime are under 150 episodes long. Bill Gates owns about 60 billion dollar. Does that make 6 million dollar a small amount of money? Not really. Jenii said: Infuckingdeed.>Enjolras1830 Wouldn't expect any less from the elitist self-important ~historian of this medium~ |
| Anything 26+ episodes is considered long to me. I don't have the luxury of time to allot to watching anime. But if I really like the anime I would say longer like 100+ |
Enjolras1830 said: Forest-kun said: Lol, where's the 26 plus episodes button? All of those options are long! in my taste 13 hours is not long if i have a free day i could watch almost two i aday This is why I absolutely despise your polls. They are all "in your taste". Just because you couldn't view an anime that is lower than 150 episodes long, you haven't even given the option for people who do. Which in this day and age where anime rarely break the 26 episode mark is the norm. Enjolras1830 said: egoplant said: The poll isn't very good.

You have to accept the fact that alot of people nowadays have shorter attention spans. Just because you fap to things like Sazae-san and Doraemon (The former of which is older than myself by a good 15 years) doesn't mean that you should expect everyone else to. This is one of many reasons why I can't stand you and your idiocy. Your polls always make me facepalm as most of the people here seem to question your "choices" as well in most cases. We ALL know this isn't the first time that there have been some really biased choices for your own views. Enjolras....go back to 2ch and stay there! |
 |
| The only 300+ anime I've watched is One Piece and that was very long so...long is anything over 80 episodes. |
 |
rederoin said: Except most of the people in this thread are making those two statements. Not the person you quoted. And? My comment was about attention span and it tied into what the person I quoted said. If people in this thread kept their comments limited to just saying what they think is long for an anime and not that length is determinant to what they can't watch then my comment would be out of place. It is sad the number of people wanting to have options of 26+ for this poll. 26 is considered one damn season and the only shorter runs are 13 episode half season shows. So 13 is short and 26+(practically everything else) is long....and you people say Enjolras1830 is limited in his view of anime. |
