And for one reason or another I slowly lost interest in them for one reason or another which I won't go too in depth here. One Piece though I really enjoy its humor and characters, I just tend not to watch it due to time and too many other animes/games/working on video reviews and other things to get into it, especially with how long it has gotten.<br /><br />So all in all, I think a long running series works if it keeps ones interest in the story and premise but also if the audience are interested enough to get straight into it and they can make the time.<br /><br />Currently I am hoping new series Medaka Box can become another one of those long running series as I find Medaka Box a lot more awesome and great series more then any other Shounen manga to ever come out and would love to see that get a long running anime series. =DDevarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899432380369685560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336603120985304416.post-37508044412254648302012-03-31T16:36:54.948-07:002012-03-31T16:36:54.948-07:00I used to watch Bleach, Naruto, DBZ and Inuyasha, ...I used to watch Bleach, Naruto, DBZ and Inuyasha, but each one would just continue the same arc: new villain, beat-up the good-guys, train, then show off a new power at the finale. It was just tiring after a while. If I had to point out the biggest offender, it would have to be Bleach. <br /><br />On the other hand, I still watch One-Piece because of my enjoyment of the characters and the development of the world around them. <br /><br />Final Thoughts: Long-running anime are only good as long as you get new plots and have something for the characters to do.Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284225840866978551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336603120985304416.post-46369967679385899412012-03-31T13:51:07.854-07:002012-03-31T13:51:07.854-07:00I like long running anime if they can keep the qua...I like long running anime if they can keep the quality high. I just wish that all long running anime have endings eventually. For example, I remember being extremely disappointed after watching all of Hajime No Ippo only to find out it didn't even cover half of the manga!<br /><br />My favorite long running anime is One Piece by the way. It's fairly reliable at filling my weekly shounen craving.jioanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648418276678653773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336603120985304416.post-24799729593694525232012-03-28T19:27:41.448-07:002012-03-28T19:27:41.448-07:00Well, I'm pretty new to Anime, but my sister h...Well, I'm pretty new to Anime, but my sister has recommended a few to me, and when I saw the huge episode lists, I was daunted to say the least. It's not so much that I don't want to wade through all those episodes, because I know from experience with Psych that going back and watching a ton of episodes at once can be fun. My main problem is time. I'm a science major and I can't invest more than a couple of hours a week to this sort of thing. So I usually try to knock out a few series with my sister during school breaks if I'm not to busy with other family stuff.OrangeOctopihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749736843651412406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336603120985304416.post-89325243035409524622012-03-27T13:11:44.818-07:002012-03-27T13:11:44.818-07:00The only long running anime I've stuck with al...The only long running anime I've stuck with all my life is Pokemon. Dropped Naruto long ago. I don't like it when anime run for too long.<br /><br />Also, don't forget Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

This isn't counting stuff like Gundam, Macross, .hack, et cetera - those are less long-running series, and more a franchise of many parts, and from which you do not need all to enjoy a part of it.<br />For example, I could watch, and thoroughly enjoy G Gundam, call it my favourite anime, and not know anything about Gundam 00, Seed, or anything from the Universal Century, because no other series adds to Gundam 00. More to it, I don't need anything from the original to enjoy Gundam Unicorn.<br />It's like Lord of the Rings. Reading The Hobbit first helps, but it's not absolutely necessary.Aust Kyzorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727401155385161061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336603120985304416.post-80311211254883974022012-03-26T18:11:07.041-07:002012-03-26T18:11:07.041-07:00It depends for me.

But for a property that doesn't really grab me right away the idea of having to watch or read hundreds of episodes and chapters before it starts getting "worth it" just seems exhausting to me (Which is why I haven't bothered trying to get passed episode thirteen of Bleach). Ultimately I'm perfectly fine with the idea of long runners as long as they eventually have an ending, otherwise it seems sort of pointless.Beta Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090196394955870455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336603120985304416.post-26032976712717936452012-03-26T17:28:09.029-07:002012-03-26T17:28:09.029-07:00I'm not a big fan of long running animes. I ha...I'm not a big fan of long running animes. I have a new rule and its "All good animes are under 55 episodes." Sometimes it gets so long and it feels like it will NEVER end. I don't like that in my anime. I want to get that ending of the journey that is that story. I am a fan of Naruto and Bleach, but eventually it just got too long and I couldn't handle it anymore. There are a few exceptions. If its a long running series that technically has different stories and characters (like Gundam or //.hack) I don't dislike because you still get an ending to a short story. The franchise just has elements that will be in common with each release, but in the end it is a different story each time.MaryJane1913https://www.blogger.com/profile/11677268715473324023noreply@blogger.com
