Long or Short Anime/Manga

I'd rather read/watch shorter ones. Maybe it's because I have the memory of a goldfish, or maybe if they're too long, they tend to drag the story, creating unnecessary plot points and endless fillers, making me lose interest... I'm not so sure, maybe both. This preference, also reflects on my refusal to watch many TV series.

I really enjoy shorter series, with my definition of short being the 13 episodes or less mark for anime. There's just not enough time to watch between school, socializing, and work; I've been watching Gundam 00 since February and I've finally made it to the last episode today (which I will watch tomorrow or something). I used to watch BLEACH but decided "fuck it, I'm not going to catch up" after not being able to watch it for a couple months.

For manga, length doesn't really matter to me although most of what I read are shitty oneshots (in the hopes of finding a gem).

It's not the length, it's the quality of the episodes that counts.

24-25 episodes would be my preferable length. I prefer the short ones. If not, those that have up to 50 episodes (when it comes to anime).

I just don't end finishing those with a hundred or episodes for some reason. Maybe it gets boring or something.

doesnt really matter as long as it has an interesting story

...........

Anyway, I prefer short anime, somewhere around 15-50 episodes. Then again, I hate it when short anime (Elfen Lied, Kanon, Air) ends when it gets so good.

I don't like it to be in just 13-14.

24-26 Episodes for an anime would be good. Season 2 is good too if the anime is really that good.

26 episodes 4 seasons should be a standard i hate when good animes are short (kannazuki no miko, clannad)

I like my manga to be around 50 chapters long or so. Just enough so you can solidify the character development and have a fluid plot going. If they can keep interest in the readers without making it overly complex then they can keep going further. I prefer them to just simply end the current series and make a new one if they wish to do that. That allows them to add some interesting elements like changing the main character, time, or place and thus creating a more enjoyable experience as well as taking the time required in order to do it right the first time.

Most of my favorite anime tends to be 26 episodes long.

What he said.

I tend to grow tired of longer animes quite fast, but they need to be longer than 12-14 episodes for you to really get into it. Example: just watched Hatsukoi Gentei (Or Limited if you want) which is 12 episodes long and sure, they probably couldn't make much more out of it, since from what I've heard it follows the manga quite closely. (which is 4 volumes, 32 Chapters in total) But still, when you start getting into it around episode 10-12, it ends quite abruptly and you never get a chance to really grasp everything. ._. I'm ´frustrated by this.

For anime, I'd prefer around 25 ep. 13 is too short while 50ep is maybe too boring.
But for manga,There is no limit i think. The longer the better because there is no filler in Manga.
i.e : One Piece,it has reach 569 chp now and yet the story is still interesting.

Either I guess, but when is short, I've seen the quality better (in some anime series).

What buggles me is how Rizelmine went from 9 chapters (I think) to 24 episodes, the extra content that hasn't been seen in the manga.

I like stuff best that has a clean ending. I don't really hare how complex your story is, if it can't be told in full within 10 hours, it's probably got a lot of superfluous junk in it.

Doesn't matter aslong as the anime/manga kicks asses and is mind blowingly good!

I prefer long, since allot of really good anime have ended to fast, and if I am interested in watching an anime after 100+ episodes, then if really must be good
