What is the last anime you watched over 100 episodes? (Or the longest you’ve watched if none qualify?)
In case folks are curious, I’m asking because I just got halfway through watching Tsurikichi Sanpei (109 episodes) and it got me thinking.
Yawara! ended up becoming my favorite series of all time (I have cell art from it and everything) and it had a whopping 124 episodes and two films! I think that’s the latest one I’ve finished.
Though Attack No. 1 (104 episodes), all of Dragon Ball & Super, Yu Yu Hakusho, and My Hero Academia as well hit those big marks.
How about y’all Lemmy friends?
Only Hunter×Hunter, which I have watched six times in total over 9 years.
JoJo as well, if you count series with separated seasons.
Hmm…that’d be Bleach. Ended up finishing the OG series, which I initially dropped during the shitty bount arc when it was airing, however, ended up finishing it (skipping the fillers) when Thousand Year Blood War got announced.
Edit: bount not blunt*
It might be a hot take but I think that Bleach fillers while still shitty weren’t that bad. Some of them were better than some non-filler Naruto arcs. But that’s just my honest opinion
My friends and I do a bi-weekly anime night where everyone chooses a series and we watch an episode of each; kind of like a curated Toonami block. One of my friends chose the original Urusei Yatsura.
We’re currently on episode 152, with many more remaining.
One and only Gintama
I don’t remember if it has 100 episodes or more, but it would be Legend of the Galactic Heroes, granted one of the reasons I never finished it was just how long it was.
@Caligvla It does to my remembrance, like… 110 episodes? I think?
Something like that. I got to go back and rewatch that thing to the end, it’s a good show, just waaaay too long and slow paced.
If we’re counting rewatches for me it’d be:
- K-ON! (includes both seasons and the movie) 7x
- Hunter x Hunter 3x
- Un-Go 5x
- Durarara!! 2x
Detective Conan/Case Closed.
Probably JoJos? Or maybe Monogatari? How many episodes does that have? There are a lot of seasons.

Gundam SEED (SEED + Destiny + Freedom) just barely made the cut.
I’m not counting Saiki K because each episode was really short IIRC.
I usually don’t watch long-running anime because the plot tend to drag on unnecessarily - probably because their creators are trying to milk them for their worth.
I would just drop them out of boredom and frustration with the lack of progress in plot. In fact, I feel that the Gundam SEED series could have been shorter.
I’d say Gintama has a shot at taking over as my longest-running watched series though.

That’s where I’m at right now. My spouse and I started watching on a whim and it wasn’t long before we were hooked. Blazed through the first two(?) seasons and then somewhere after episode 100 things just started dragging. I forget exactly where we’re at right now because we only watch an episode every so often lately. Could be just us getting burned out, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hunter x Hunter, it was amazing. Usually I watch 12 episode stuff in a completely different style so it seemed a bit daunting but I ended up binging the whole thing because of how much I loved it.
I watched Black Clover while it was airing and it ended up at 170. So that’s my biggest one. I generally don’t got for shounen with a massive number of episodes, but watching it weekly was fine.
The biggest series I watched all in one go was Space Brothers at 99 episodes.
For me, the longest I have watched is Robotech, if you count it since it was technically three different anime originally.
Robotech did a mostly faithful (especially for the time) dub of the original SDF Macross, and then edited the story and footage more heavily for its 2nd and third arcs, which were from SDC Southern Cross and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Robotech came in at like, 85 episodes.
If Robotech doesn’t count, Overlord (52) is in 2nd with a very close 3rd plce by Sei Juushi Bismarck (51 episodes).
To me, a high episode count doesn’t always equate to quality. I once assumed that since anime like One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Naruto have such high episode counts, they HAVE to be good, but I just couldn’t get into them. They weren’t for me.
On the other hand, some shows I felt were way too short and wished they had more episodes. Anime like Bubblegum Crisis (not Tokyo 2040), Chobits, Heaven’s Lost Property, Claymore, Coffin Princess Chaika, etc. I liked them a lot and when they ended I just kept wishing there was more.
Not quite 100, but the last long anime I watched was Monster (75 eps). And the one before that was Space Brothers (99 eps). I’d highly recommend both.
The last two would be JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and Bleach, but as they have already been mentioned that would be Naruto/Shippuden… Hell, I just realized I don’t watch many stuff beyond 100 episodes haha.
