jldarkspider Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Longer most defiantly. The short ones end too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko-fish Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I prefer the shorter ones ...12-26 episodes ...but I do not mind the longer ones or even the super long ones "conan,naruto,bleach,gintama...ect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiNX Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Honestly, it depends. I hate anime with a bunch of filler episodes (same with manga chapters). If it's a good anime, with a great plot and there's not a bunch of nonsense episodes thrown in, then I would definitely rather watch a longer anime over a shorter one only because the story will most likely be more indepth.

Awanichi Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think Anime Series best with 24 episodes or less. it just my personal opinion, but watching some animes with SUUUUPER long episodes (Like You-Know-What) is very boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitterblack Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Depends how long the manga is. I like my anime close to the manga. The long series take awhile to watch but the shorter ones leaving me wanting more.... tough question!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexc Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 50 Episodes including multiple seasons is probably the best frame imo. Maybe even 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jikochuu Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Depends on the manga adaptation... If it's well done : then I'd rather see the longerOtherwise a twelve-episod is far enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanodus Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yeah everyone, I agree with both sides of view; longer anime can be dragged on and the shorter animes are good animes. I reckon it just depends on the anime, for example, Bleach and Naruto: Long animes. Death Note and Vampire Knight: Short animes. But perhaps in the end it isnt abot how long or how short the anime is. It is whether or not the viewer enjoys the anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuLake Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I kind of dig the 12-24 range. I do like longer anime, but I kind of like moving rapidly through multiple series. So, unless it's a really well done series, I'd rather it keep it simple, develop the one story that cannot be told by any other show, and move on. One of my major beefs with American TV (and one of the main reasons I enjoy anime) is that they stretch on ad nauseum until the show dies from a lack of new material. It seems much better to just tell your story, make your impact, and then try something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutchballa808 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I really dont mind watching a long anime as long as it holds my interest, only problem is, when an anime is as long as bleach or naruto there are always going to be fillers and those never hold my interest so i guess im going to have to go with shorter length animes, 25-60 episodes is good. Funny tho, there are a few short anime series like 30 ep long that do have fillers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack966 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 longer is better in most cases but only because i hate to see a good anime end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Depends on the anime, but mostly I prefer longer anime (One Piece ftw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacomicnerd99 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I prefer longer animes. I like getting my moneys worth especially when i buy it. Animes like shigurui were good but ended wayyyy too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasoivc Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I usually watch animes that are around 20-30 episodes long. There are a few exclusions like Initial D because those are better just the way they are. Longer animes tend to have fillers that just make the series go off track. I'm not going to complain or anything because sometimes thats what we need, but sometimes I just want the raw story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Shirσ Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well i usually prefer to watch anime that are at least 24 episodes long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaNzCo Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 The short and sweet animes are typically very pretty and are normally pretty good, and the story doesn't usually decline. I consider a 26 episode series to be medium, and that is okay too, but quick fix animes like FLCL are definitely my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neofizz Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 As long as the story is complete and interesting without obvious attempts to drag it on with no fresh ideas, the length doesn't matter to me.Just give me a full story that I can immerse myself into and I'm happy.

Nero D. Ace Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Neither. I usually end up preferring Abridged series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proxy11 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I feel 26 episode series is the perfect spot for me. If the show is successful maybe one more 26 episode season but no more than that. I'll go up to a 52 with the exception of "Monster" (74) which I am watching right now. Not at all a fan of the ever spanning 150+ Anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
your mom Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 How long an anime should be really depends on what the series is about and how many good ideas they have for it. I prefer an anime to be longer (like 50-100 episodes), but most series I've really enjoyed have been about 12 to 26 episodes long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
