| There's a lot of anime with a lot of episodes and recently I've been really wanting to get into the Aikatsu and Precure franchise. I just finished the spin-off series ''Aikatsu Friends!'' first season that consists of 50 episodes and I want to watch the first Aikatsu, but it's like... 178 episodes, which is a lot for me. And precure just has a buuunch of seasons |

| If Noragami ever returns for a third season now that the manga has resumed, and goes on from there to a fourth, fifth, and so on, assuming it remains at its current level of high quality, don't you think you could get into watching those? A lot of shows I've been watching more recently have been shorter, like 12 - 26 episodes, just because that's how a lot of them are made, but if the premise, world, and characters are interesting enough and you really love the show, what's wrong with a long series? I'd argue it's preferable. Inuyasha had 193 episodes and I wish there were 193 more. If I truly loved a show, it could go on for 1,000 episodes assuming everything in it remains stellar. |

| I got a few on the back-burner 'till i'm done with some of the shorter series: Hunter X Hunter (both original and 2011 versions add up to a lot of Eps.) Eureka Seven Yu Yu Hakusho Monster JoJo Legend of the Galactic Heroes Full Metal Panic! Gintama I also have One Piece on-hold for the moment but, for obvious reasons, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to get back into it. |

| I think an anime being long is only a bad thing if you don't enjoy watching it. Personally i look forward to trying anime that have a lot of episodes, because if it's a good show, that's a lot of episodes for me to enjoy. |
| Gintama Legend of the Galactic Heroes Natsume's Book of Friends One Piece Yu Yu Hakusho |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| +1 for HxH 2011, only got around ~40 eps in before I was like nop gonna have to wait for a bit Other than that, long-running shounen's really like Naruto and Bleach. |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Honestly, too many episodes makes me not want to watch stuff so I don't have this problem. I flat out refuse to believe a show can keep a storyline refreshing and interesting for 500+ episodes. Nuh uh. Not touching that. |

| I want to watch Gintama but it is way too long. I don't have a copy of it. |
| I always wanted to watch Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho but man there is too much ep , hm maybe one day |

You have a really good point, but I'm thinking more about the shows that I don't know yet if I'll like them or not. Yes, for that reason I've put a couple of shows on my watch list with somewhat longer runs (HunterxHunter 1999 and Fullmetal Alchemist - Brotherhood notably, which aren't even that long) more with a mental note of putting them there for last or toward the last while I get through some of the shorter series first, as another poster mentioned in the thread. I think the only thing you can do is like with any series regardless of length, watch at least one if not a few episodes and assess your interest level from there. And your interest level will have to be sufficiently higher than it would necessarily for a 12 episode show because you're in for a much longer journey. |
| I always wanted to watch Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu and Monster. |
 |
| i got old and now a days i can only watch long running anime if they are an ongoing show since watching 1 episode of that long show per week is good for me but i get overwhelmed to finished long running anime by just thinking of how much episodes i will have to watch in a row it sounds irrational but meh thats just how my mindset is at this point i like to watch One Piece Legend of the Galactic Heroes Heartcatch Precure (this is only 50 episodes so there is a chance) |
| its really hard for me to get back into One Piece, (even me resulting in dropping it) because I lost my interest for it. I'd say you just need to do the usual 3 episode minimum rule and see if you are still into it. |
ええ、私はそこにいてそれをやった  |
| On my never ending road of masochism, I'm planning to watch all the long running shonen except Case Closed. So for me it's definitely Gintama and One Piece. I'd include Fairy Tail with those two but from I've already watched I'm not looking forward to it. Also, for those who've been listing Yu Yu Hakusho, please go for it. Togashi is one of the best writers in the shonen market. |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| I wanna watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood but it has got so many episodes and I'm too lazy to watch a long anime so, my bad :( |

romagia said: That's too much for you? Just barely over 20? Dear God, what you gonna do with shows like Turn A Gundam, Kemono no Souja Erin or Eureka Seve, that are 50 episodes each one? Or Monster and Hikaru no Go, that are both over 70?michiko and hatchin carole and tuesday tiger and bunny spice and wolf im starting to see a pattern here... In my case, Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Is not that the number turn me off (okay, maybe a little bit) and if it's as good as people says it is it wouldn't be a chore to get through it. |

| I don't understand why people so intimidated by a number lol.. As long as it is not dragged or repetitive story with too many unnecessary fillers, you should watch it.. It's impossible to compress stories like Legend of the Galactic Heroes or the fucking Game of Thrones to your typical 2 cour animes ... |

| Yes, the number of episodes can be intimidating but as I see it, you can start anything and stop watching anytime. If you don't like it enough, just drop it. But if you like it, then the amount of episodes will be a positive thing, you'd be very happy there's so much more to see. |
  |
| Everything with more than 10 episodes |
 |
| this thread is proof that short anime series is enough |
| You don't have to binge it. Watch an episode per day or week or something... |
| I don't mind anime with many episodes..since I don't and can't watch them all at once..I just take my time |
 |
| For me it's Detective Conan. I will start it one day but 900+ eps is a bit daunting.

And precure just has a buuunch of seasons Just take your time with Aikatsu it's more enjoyable that way, it took me about half a year and it was the perfect pace to watch it at. I'm doing the same with the Precure series atm too, just take your sweet time and as long as you're enjoying it you'll finish it someday. |

| 3-Gatsu no Lion Nana Precure series LOGH Good thing I've watched Aikatsu and Aikatsu Stars. I worried that I might get bored after 50+ episodes that I would feel the need to drop it. But tbh I felt a big achievement after finishing that shows so it was totally worth it. Yes, I'm one of those who watch anime for numbers because it's fun. But still, forcing myself to watch anime I don't like is a no no. |

Yaboku said: Detective conan is really underrated i think it's one of the best long runing with One Piece and HxH , i watched a lot of it and i think it's enjoyable when you skip filler episodes , btw half of the show is fillers so you could skip like 400 episodes . It actually really helps to know that. I'll definitely start it a lot sooner if that's the case. |

| Along with your example, Pripara is an anime I'd really like to watch but it's 192 episodes. Nana and Utena are two anime I've been wanting to watch for a long time, but they have 47 and 39 episodes respectively, which is a lot longer than I'm used to. I've also thought of watching Space Brothers, but at 99 episodes I'm not sure if I will. Hunter x Hunter 2011 isn't really one I particularly want to watch, but I've been recommended it by a lot of people and would like to say that I've seen it. It's 148 episodes, though, so that's going to be hard to do. |

operationvalkyri said: For me, Naruto franchise ended with Shippuden and Boruto is just a cash cow as u said. Dont bother with it. Blarey said: I might just do that. Though I'll still have o muster up courage to. You can always look up "Naruto filler list" and watch only the canon episodes, that's what most people do. Issmail22Lawfy said: Yeah, Boruto always seemed like a blatant cash grab to me, so I sure as heck won't watch it. I've already seen the Naruto/Sasuke/Momoshiki fight on YouTube. Am all caught up.even in NS they chose an ending that force people to start the new serie Boruto Also, like the dude said, skip all the fillers except the ones which show Hitachi's past. That filler arc comes in Shippuden. As for OP's question, One Piece is one show which i am refraining to watch right now. It will need a huge amount of time to catch up to this series. So i'm waiting for the right time to start it. |

| I have always wanted to watch Detective Conan because it seems interesting but then it has like, 900+ episode already... |
