I'm not sure what to answer, I guess it does depend on the series. I find that alot of LONG series begin to lose substance and creativity after a certain period of time, possibly due to the writer's waning enthusiasm. Some of the shorter series have a too great a scope to be covered in only several volumes/episodes, and their endings sometimes leave you feeling short changed (eg. Level E).

Voted "Never thought about it..." since that would be the most neutral option.

Hmm... I like shorter ones better, because sometimes mangas are expensive, so it's hard to buy all the mangas in a series, because it cost too much. So shorter is better for me. :]

depends.. - 10-27-2007, 03:42 AM

on what the plot is, but for the most part, no more than 60 ep. for me. )naruto and inuyasha an exception)


There would be no back....without a front.

Think about it. It means that without one there is no other...love without hate...happiness without anger...black with no white...dirty with no clean....understand it. Ying Yang...we all have our differences and must learn to accept one another...we all need something to make us who we are. We all need support...we all have an angel.

I think that if it is a cool anime it could be long.But if it is a bad one it should not have even begun.

I think a story needs to find it's own length and needs to tie up its loose ends before being finished. Unfortunately, it seems many series are continued past their best before date so as to wring as much cash out of them as possible. (I'm beginning to feel like I've seen the current episodes Bleach back around episode 20 - 25). I can handle well structured length but loose wandering about minor plot threads gets annoying. What really bothers me the most, though, are series that end without a nice tidy up of introduced plot items. (Fruits Baskets and Moon Phase which I already ranted about in another thread)
