It's probably about 5 hours when I marathoned Fate stay/night last Dec 31, 2007, just after the New Year's eve celebrations.
I was able to do it because Jan 1 is a holiday, no work requiring me to wake up early.

Ah Nadesico Marathon... I did the same thing, only I'm not sure if I had the movie yet. Watched it dubbed, then again subbed, though that was with breaks. It's one of only a handful of series I can say I've watched completely both dubbed and subbed.

I believe I watched 15-20 episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho once (courtesy to every episode ending in a cliffhanger). But I had short food/lunch breaks so I don't know if that counts.
That's nothing compared to my friend. I lend him my copy of Fullmetal Alchemist, and he watched all 51 episodes in 1 afternoon/night. The guy's amazing. I wouldn't ever have the patience to do such a thing. |

The only time I dedicated a whole day (from morning, say 9:00 to late evening, say 23:00) to an anime marathon has been 4 years ago when I was sick in bed for a flu. I was getting better, but staying in bed and watching tv was the max activity I could aspire to do in those conditions. The anime was Card Captor Sakura, don't remember which episodes (the anime is long) but I'd say a total of nearly 20-25.
Other marathones I've done in a single session, were generally never longer than 6-8 hours. I can spend half of a day marathoning a 12 eps series, but if it's longer I split it in parts. Been at least 2 years since the last time, by the way.

The first time I watched Monster, I guess. I started early on Saturday (skipping OP/ED) and finished in the early Sunday afternoon. Never slept, nor felt like sleeping.
Usually, if I have nothing planned for the week-end or don't go to work, I might (re)watch anime from 13 to 26 eps. in one go. |

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE

I've only really ever done a marathon two times...
Once, a couple years ago, when my cousin wanted to watch all 24 episodes of Love Hina from the DVDs I then had (Didn't have the Christmas/Spring/OVA DVDs yet; God help us if I did)...We did that marathon, do the math for how long that lasted...We ended up staying all the way up until 6AM, which is something I regularly do these days on the weekends, but a couple years ago during our high school years, that was a lot of time without any fucking sleep... I came a couple times close to that over the past two years, watching episodes hours on end of Bleach and Naruto to catch up to the current-running episodes, but never anything nearly as long on a single sitting as I did with my cousin on Love Hina... Well, except for a couple weeks ago after New Years Day, where I was stuck in bed sick over some stupid virus...With nothing to do and no motivation to do anything as active as playing PS3, I decided to run through all 25 episodes of Code Geass R2 in a single sitting...Straight through all by my sick self...One more episode watched in my Code Geass marathon than I did with my cousin during the Love Hina marathon...Holy shit, was I restless... That's my personal record... |

I personally can't stand doing the "same thing" for more than a few hours but when a title hooks me it is a scary thing. I think my record stands at 15 eps straight of Elemental Gelade before needing a rest. So something like 7 hours.

Just did this earlier.
Minami-ke + Minami-ke Okawari + Kannazuki no Miko. 13+13+12=38 eps I remembered it was about 19 hours. With all the breaks in between. Yes, 19 hours. Madness and laughs, although Kannazuki wasn't event meant to be funny. Downside? Now I can't make out which is [Saotome]Mako-chan and which is Mako-cakes

It was in the summer, when I finally decided to watch all of the episodes of Naruto (though I cheated a bit and skipped like, 50 ;_ Good lord, 2 weeks of just sitting there watching it, and then I would sleep and get up. (Reason why? I was too young to get a job, and I go away to school so none of my friends were at home)
Ugh. Almost as much as a waste as when I tried to watch all the episodes of Inuyasha. Atleast Naruto actually still had a plot ;_;
