animation Longest Anime You've Watched?

[Fluttershutter 2,118]

So I watched the first few episodes of the first Dragon Ball from 1986. It's interesting. The animation is really old school and the story seems pretty young but there are a lot of sex jokes already. I know there are a bunch of Dragon Ball series but I don't know if they're all connected. The story seems so simple I don't know how they could stretch it out over hundreds of episodes.

Anyway I started looking to see what are the longest series I've watched.

 

Fairy Tail: 428 episodes over a couple of series. Several story arcs kept it interesting.
Bleach: 366 episodes and a few movies. Probably the one I liked least. I liked a lot of the characters but it could really drag.
Inuyasha: 193 episodes over two series and several movies. Could drag a little too but fun to watch.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: 110 episodes. The most mature story of any of these and a great long epic.

Longest anime I've actually finished front to back is DBZ, albeit that coincided over the English dubs airing.

[Emerald Heart 24,571]

Longest anime I've watched has been Fairy Tail.

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Naruto franchise. Nearly 20 years.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,278]

One Piece, only got to episode 150 or so until I gave up. I realized that nearly every arc feels the same overall and the villains are all hot air. Got tired of the humor as well. There are definite things I like about the series, but for me it isn't worth wasting so much time on a show that becomes increasingly repetitive while being way too long. It felt entirely redundant at episode 150 and there's what, 900+ episodes now? That is way too much for me to care.

Definitely Naruto, watched so much of it when I was a kid, including the filler episodes. I've kept tabs on so many different animanga series through manga, the comics, but watching a super long anime series all the way from beginning to end is just something I do not have the time for anymore.

Probs jus naruto but I dun remember where i got up to oof I did wanna start watching again but blegh

I guess u could count pokemon but i dunno how many i watched or maybe doraemon those kinda ongoing shows.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

The longest anime I've watched is Pokémon though I did skip the final third of the Kalos saga on account that my interest waned overall. After watching select episodes of the Alola saga, I've been binge-watching the arc for the past week minus a few episodes here and there.

[Prospekt 10,984]

Naruto + Naruto Shippuden. 720 episodes, not counting the Boruto series, which I am not fully caught up on. 

Though if you watch every episode in the Dragon Ball franchise, including GT and Kai, that's even longer than Naruto & Shippuden.

There are a lot of Anime Series i watched, the longest being Case Closed i guess, which might even be longer than any of the other Anime that were mentioned here.

However if it comes to Anime that i watched the most Episodes off, it would probably be the DC Comics Franchise. A lot of the animated stuff they do it outsourced from Asia, and seeing how i watched probably like 15 series or so, even though not all of them are anime, i probably still have watched the most episodes there.

[Vefka 1,499]

The longest I watched was Fullmetal Alchemist I guess

[zerox 1,050]

Yu-gi-oh duel monsters. Watched all the 5 seasons. I also saw most gx episodes.

Eeyup. Kai is a retelling of Z, but without any filler from the original content. Basically following closely to the manga. 

[TransitPony 219]

For me it's Sonic X, Dragon Ball Z Kai and Gintama are the longest animes I have watched.

[TBD 17,228]

It would be Bleach, I watched it all in summer too! Naruto, nah I stopped at the Shippuden.

[Splashee 28,537]

I have watched Bleach (all) and Dragon Ball (all). I say they are pretty long Especially combined

[Envy 5,998]

I've seen all of One Piece save for some of the filler episodes, which are pretty rare.

[Miss 6,211]

long shows (especially animes) def. are usually not my thing. 

I guess I would say My Hero Academia as I've seen every episode except the last two so that's 86 I think. I started watching when the show was in season 3 so yea, then took like 6 month break at the beginning of season 3 cuz I didn't care anymore, then saw the "Hero Too" music video so decided to catch up to that point and haven't touched it since. 

An anime I actually finished would be Soul Eater at 51.

I will just list:

• Bleach
• 90's Sailor Moon
• Inuyasha
• Yu Yu Hakusho 
• R.Kenshin

[ssj4gogita4 101]

Naruto - both original and Shippuden
Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Super (I know GT isn't a part of the series truly)
Yu-Gi-Oh - original, GX, 5Ds, and Zexal. I cannot get into the newest one at all and even Zexal was hard to watch.
Sailor Moon
Tenchi Muyo
Yu Yu Hakusho (I don't think it's incredibly long. All episodes are solid)

TBH I am very, very rejecting on starting any anime with more than 200 eps. Especially if it feels it is progressing too slowly and not much happening.

Yeah me too. That's why I've never watched One Piece or Naruto and just now checked out Dragon Ball.

[Technoblade 112]

re:zero season 1

no i don't watch that much anime, but that's because there aren't many anime i like and lots of anime are impossible to stream without paying actual cash money (which i don't have because i'm 14 and my single mum isn't made of money)

Dragon ball. That takes dragon ball, dragon ball z and gt into account. I stopped at gt. 

 

[Light Blade 8,658]

Naruto! Talk about a show way longer than it needs to be.
