instead of anime quality, i would like to know what do you think about.
There are a few animes with too many episodes (Naruto per example: it's a great anime and have big quality) and other than not. When an anime you like a lot finish, it's like you had eated a wonderful cake and then... there isn't more cake to eat. This is something i dislike.

For example, i would like very much that Elfen lied were consist on more than 13 espisodes. I animes such us Midori no hibi, in the manga... appears some stories that doesn't appear in anime. They could make bigger the anime. That's a pity, really.

I know that less episodes = better anime quality but today, i think this is changing a lot. I really can't apreacite differences between a lot different animes.

regards!

Between 50-100 episodes is fine by me. Way too short anime that don't go beyond 10 or barely do so can cut the potential of a good story, like Geneshaft or Megami Kohousei (Candidate for goddess)

yeah i agree 50-100 is a good reference. it's sad that many great animes have only 26 episodes. maybe that's a part of what makes them great, however i think they should have some kind of sequel so ppl who loved the animes can still enjoy "a little more cake".

if the story is as good as in full metal alchemist then it could last forever :)
of course shorter animes are very good aswell but only for the meantime

Yeah. I think longer animes have a tendency to drag much more than they should, and end up full of filler eps, but it also gives a chance for the story and characters to be fleshed out. I guess my beef is that a lot of the times, this doesn't happen, but when it does, it's done well. Other series seem to do fine being shorter.

One of my favourite series are long for example Crayon Shin-chan ;), Hikaru no Go, Initial D
but sometimes I like to watch smaller series just for fun.

I think that 100+ would be ideal coz then you could have more then one saga in a series just like DBZ did, and i thought they were really good imo.... but series such as last exile, and elfen lied have their own way to making a short series whist making it and excellent anime, it kinda feels like you watching a long movie and you could say that the episode's are the scene's :) still...i think it would be great to see nyu in 100 or more episode wouldn't you think? ^_^'

it really depends on the series. I personally can't watch Inu Yasha anymore because it has gotten way too long. I can't really watch shows that go past 50 episodes, but there are exceptions to the rule. If the story is still good and not repetetive after episode 50 I am all for it!

it depends, with say FLCL if it went for a long time i think it would ruin the whole thing
but then with something like GTO you just wish it never ends

but then you get stuff like pokemon or dragonball and you wish it would just die!!! ( we have a group of 20 year old guys at college doing super sayan techniques during lunch!! ) that is way to sad :(

I generally like shorter series 'cuz then I can actually
see the entire series. When it ends I'm think "Why can't
it be longer?" but then I would get bored if the series is
too long, like Inuyasha. Cowboy Bebop is a really good,
short anime. :)

I prefer large series, because in large series you meet more the main characters and feel the anime, although on large series you normally don't see them at the end.

But i also like short series, if i like them i can get them ^^ and see them more times.

50+ is pretty fair, because I think it is long enough for most of the stories.

I'll go with 100+ since I think that the longer the story is, the more you start to feel for the characters and the story. ^^

God is just something mankind made up so they could blame everything that they couldn't explain on something.

50+ the best way to go i think ... this way the series won't be too short but won't become boring either.

Cancel

Epic 100+ episode series are usually great. I like when they seem to go on and on, so I can see more of them all the time. But, usually huge series like that get boring at times. I just stick with ~28 episode ones.

50.............. is a good amount

100 is too much and it kills alot of trees and the series will become stupid and boring (DBZ over 400 episodes..that insane)....

12-24 is too short because u want more......

For me it doesn't matter how short an anime is or how long it is, just as short as it can be while being able to present a story yet just as long as can be without over telling it.

It really depends on the series itself... sometimes the longer series can get old and they start to repeat information and they do a lot of recap episodes but a lot of them are good. Also on the other hand some of the much shorter series are also good. You just have to pay attemtion to the details of the series to get some of the charcterization and plot details. I guess I really don't have a preference.

More than 50 episodes is perfect :) - longer series have usually more ends & ops XD



Cancel

i think 24 is ok,but if the anime is as good as Kaleido Star i prefer it longer than 50~

Cancel

100+, I never want series to end. :d
i hate how fillers enter an anime story though.... pisses me off.... including recaps... by far the worst trait americans use has some how entered the anime world.

If you miss a episode WHO's fault is it?? =_=

Guess I'm kind of the weird one. I like my anime short. about 26 episodes feels just right to me. Not so long that it feels drawn out and not so short that it feels rushed. I also like series that are released in small 6-13 episode story arcs, like the Tenchi Muyo! OVAs or Big-O.

Good series like InuYasha really comflict with me. On the one hand I start to feel like, "we'll never get to see InuYasha defeat Naraku", on the other hand I hate seeing a good series come to an end. However the sheer cost commitment of buying long series on DVD tips my mental scales in favor of shorter series. My shelves are mostly filled with OVA's .

I prefer it to be maybe around 50 or more episodes so the anime won't actually get so rushed. Usually most of the time, the series will always get rushed in the end giving such a bad ending which annoys me the most about it.
