Quote by jahviActually, it really
depends. I personally enjoy longer anime than short ones. Of course, there are those that loses my interest along the
way. Usually, when I develop some kind of interest in an anime, I would want it to continue longer than the usual 23-26
episodes. But there are a lot of very good animes that are 13 episodes or 26 episodes. But this is what I
think:
Short Anime:
There's really no character developing and characters are limited. There's not enough time to go
"around" spending time on each character (or expanding the plot, making it complicated, connection every
little thing, etc). Therefore, the plot progress faster which makes it a quick watch without actually losing too much
interest in it. Of course, this makes the ending---well---sort of bad. Some have good endings, others are forced, while
others are just...bad. Some of the times, the ending is open-ended and makes the watcher curious if there's ever a
second season.
Long Anime:
There's many interesting characters. The story is able to cater to a various of arcs. The characters are able to
grow. Usually, the pace of the story is a little slower, which can become dragging. Yes, it has some fillers---others a
lot. But building the story toward the climax, ending is something that we watchers look forward to. Of course, once the
story goes toooooooo long, it becomes a little dragging. But you're able to enjoy it for quite a long
time.
Some of my favorite long running animes are: Sailor Moon, Full Metal Alchemist, One Piece, Detective Conan, Bleach,
Naruto, Prince of Tennis and more.
I agree with her :3
