What was the longest anime series that you guys have watched in it's entierity? Meaning episode by episode, and from start to finish.

I myself have watched a lot of single-season anime, so Azumanga Daioh and Full Metal Panic (26 and 24 episodes, respectively) are the longest series that I've seen. It's going to take me a while to finish watching every episode of Inuyasha and Ranma 1\2, but I'm working on it.

It would be DBZ for me, with Rurouni Kenshin a close second.

I have finished neither series.

FMA, 51 episodes.

I considered it more an exception than a rule, as I am usually quite satisfied with 26 episodes as the magic number. But recently I'm on track to watch 49 of Kodocha's 102 and also on episode 24 of Eureka Seven's 50 or so episodes. So maybe the larger episode series are growing on me...?

I have finished watching Chrono Crusade - 24 episodes, and Kare Kano (His and Her circumstances) - 26 episodes.

I have seen many Ranma 1/2 episodes all over the place and years since high school, but don't believe I have finished it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen all of Dragon Ball on Toonami. I know for sure I saw all of SD Gundam. They kept canceling Rurouini Kenshin...

Sailor Moon ^_^. I've watched all 200 TV episodes, 3 movies, and special episodes that were never released in America.

Likewise. The Ami-movie, SuperS TV Special, AND ep 67 which was never brought to North America (and can only be found in not so good quality^^) AND the whole live-action series, including the 2 last TV special eps (or were they OVAs? Meh whatever) Oh, AND the whole manga, including Sailor V, but not including the 2 volumes of Chibiusa shorts (cause they seem pretty rare to find, including scanlations of them) :/

...coming into second place is Inuyasha with ALL 167 eps and 4 movies :/

The longest series I've seen in its entirety is Ranma 1/2 which comprises 161 TV episodes, 11 OVAs, and 3 movies.

I am currently working on Urusei Yatsura (196 TV, 6 OVA, and 6 Movies) and InuYash (167 TV, 3 movies and a special), but I haven't finshed them, yet.

The only series that are longer that I've seen are Sailor Moon (200 episodes, 3 movies, and 2 specials) and DBZ (291 TV, 2 Specials, 1 OVA, 13 movies). However, I haven't seen the final 34 episodes of Sailor Moon because they have not been released in the US and I can't say with certainty that I've seen every single episode of DBZ since I watched it on CN.

The longest series that I have completed is Naruto (163 Episodes so far and still going, plus the Movie and the 3 OAV's) and halfway InuYasha ( 167 Episodes, although I'm missing only 30 of them, I have all 4 movies,plus the special 45 minute episode), FMA(all 51 Episodes).

Furuba. 26 eps.

holy crud, some of these series are long. I've watched all of Kare Kano and I did read all of the Rurouni Kenshin manga, but I haven't watched the whole tv series yet. I have seen all of the OVAs.

I finished watching Gundam Wing and Witch Hunter Robin.

Although WHR is kinda short..

Same here.

Ranma 1/2 or Inuyasha.

It would be Ranma 1/2 for me.

I have seen Ranma 1/2 (all TV episodes/OAVs/movies). I have also watched all 3 movies and 199 of the 200 TV episodes of Sailor Moon (I have not seen the Ami special, nor episode 67).

Though nowhere near as long as the other two mentioned, I have also watched all 52 episodes of Fushigi Yugi, including the OAV episodes and the Eikoden episodes.

Naruto... on episode 166 and its still not done

Second up would be Monster, im on episode 67 and it finishes at 75 I believe

Third is Bleach, which I am episode 63

Fourth one (One I actually FINISHED) would be Full Moon wo sagashite at 52 episodes, followed by Full metal alchemist at 51 episodes.

Others I have finished include Azumanga Daioh (Sakaki <3) The 3 Full metal Panic seasons, Gunslinger Girl, Aishiteruze Baby, uhmmm... and a number of more

I've seen every (or maybe almost every) episode of Rurouni Kenshin.

Oh, and every ep of G Gundam (not my proudest accomplishment, but yah...)

Would that include the OVAs, Zipo?

Osaka was always my favorite Azu girl.

Sailor Moon. All 200 eps, 3 movies, the Ami's First Love theatrical short, and the SuperS TV specials. I own all of the (poorly translated) Sailor Moon manga released in the U.S., but have yet to read them.

Oh, and someone mentioned the "lost" episode 67 (the one with Chibi-usa's dinosaur) and that they've only seen it in poor quality. I actually found a guy who did a fantastic fansub of it for me. All I had to do was mail him the DVD-R, and then he recorded his fansub for me and mailed it back. He did really well with it, too. He was also one of the most "legit" fansubbers I've ever seen; he required that I make a copy of the bottom of my season 2 box from ADV to see the proof of purchase so that I was a legitimate owner of season 2 who only needed episode 67 to make the season complete. He was really trying to stay as close to legal as he could get doing a fansub, which I thought was admirable. He said that he only wanted to help "true" Sailor Moon fans complete their TV episode collection, since that was the only episode unavailable to North American fans.

Sorry for the long explanation, but I thought I'd mention that. Carry on with the longest series discussion to stay on topic!

Fushigi Yugi, at 52 episodes. And believe me, most of the last 26 eps were pretty painful.

Of course, there's length, and then there's effort. I wouldn't waste another second of my life on DBZ, Naruto, or the Kenshin series (other than the Samurai X DVDs). On the other hand, Serial Experiments: Lain is a mere 13 episodes, excruciating to get through, but one I consider well worth the effort.

absolute longest would be all 109 of Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star), other than that a large number of 50 ep. shows including all of the Gundam franchise.

So far the longest series i have watched are Rurouni Kenshin at its 93 eps (i think), gundam seed & seed destiny at 50 eps each. and the ongoing Naruto & Bleach at ep 155 & 63 respectively.

Wait, I totally forgot two series ^^. I finished Yugioh DM (224 episodes, 1 movie) and have so far seen almost everything Pokemon related (435 episodes and counting, 8 movies, 19 specials)

I think that would have to be Hunter x Hunter- 70 episodes counting the first OAV. I haven't seen all of Rurouni Kenshin or Full Metal Alchemist yet, however.

all the Slayers series (76 eps.) and 4 of the movies

I've *almost* watched all of Rurouni Kenshin...about ep. 88 or so.

hmm well technically im still working on Inuyasha but i have compleated the first few seasons...im currently on season 4 or five. so i guess the longest if you didnt want to count that would be FMA

Full Moon Wo Sagashite-- 52 Episodes.

Full Moon wo Sagashite clocked in at 51 or 52 episodes. I finished it in about 2 to 3 weeks, then Trigun was my next longest at 26 episodes.
