Preferred Length

How long do you like your anime? About the options: They are the most typical and approximate. So if you like series with 12 or 14 episodes, you'd still choose the "13 episodes" option, if you will. Please explain why you decided on your choice, what you like about series with those many episodes and whatnot. Feel free to include why you do not like the other kinds of series, but try to make it a cohesive argument. Don't just say that series with over 100 episodes are stupid or that series with 13 episodes are too short; explain why you think they are stupid or too short. As for series that are made up of several seasons, I'd count the seasons as separate as long as there was a considerable break between the airing of them. So, if you like The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, it'd count as two 13-episode series (and a movie), so you'd probably want to choose the "13 episodes" option. To start things off - I tend to prefer series with around 26 episodes. 13-episode series have a hard time holding my attention (I'll watch one episode and then not watch another for a week), and long-running series require such an investment of time. I don't avoid series with more than 100 episodes, but I don't watch them often, and I don't start them without being pretty sure that I'm going to want to watch the entire series.

I like 26 episodes short/long enough for me to enjoy.

Depends entirely on the anime. There is no golden, universal, length for an anime series.

Typically speaking, I prefer the few ShÅnen anime I've been known to watch to be shorter because throughout the years, almost all of them have been filled with well... fillers, fodder. It is ridiculous and adds nothing to the substance of the anime except as an excuse to keep filling their wallets because young children are easily entertained at that age.

While on the other side, a good slice-of-life or romance anime can keep me invested longer those series usually run. Particularly those by Key - Air, Kanon, Clannad, etc... all of those could have ran for longer and I would have kept watching.

I like a series not to be reduced or stretched to fit an episode limit.

I don't really care what the length is but I suppose some 13 episodes series leave me wanting more, a 26 episode series probably leaves me fulfilled.

26 to 50 or so, most Animes i see that go passed 50 normally start throwing far to much filler content in.
