Old but long animes?

[Shirozakii]

I've kinda blown through most of the recent animes so i've resorted to sacrificing quality for storyline and length. I've watched Onizuka and Hikaru no go and FMA. Are there any other old animes that are similar. Oh yea i've watched monster also. >_>" I hate how there're aren't super long animes out right now. Bleach doesn't count, naruto's okay and soul eater insn't that long yet.

Ah, Ginga Tesudo 999(113), Uchusenkan Yamato AKA Starblazer(26 for original series), all the world master peice theater like Heidi(52), Rascal(52), Anne of Green Gables(50), Marco 3000Leagues in search of Mother(52), and/or A dog of Flanders(52), Candy Candy(115), Future Boy Conan(26), The Rose of Versailles(40), Hokuto no Ken AKA Fist of the Northern Star(152), Nadia; The Secret of Blue Water(39) to name a few.

[SeijiSensei]

Juuni Kokki has 45 episodes, though the last six constitute the beginning of an unfinished story arc.

Saiunkoku Monogatari consists of two, 39-episode seasons.

Dragon Ball... no idea how many episodes in total lol
Yu Yu Hakusho (112 finished)
One Piece (365 an ongoing)
D Gray Man (97 and ongoing)

I can answer that, with the original, Z and Gt combined there are 511 episodes not including the movies spinoffs.

[nixie]

Hunter X Hunter is a good one at 62 episodes and 3 other OVAs totalling to 30 episodes. However, the ending is not complete as the manga is still ongoing.

If you like sports with drama, Major should be an enjoyable watch. Four seasons in with the 5th one airing January next year. Or Yakitate!! Ja-pan (69 episodes), a comedy about baking bread.

You may want to look into Gintama as well, an episodic action/comedy series. Ongoing, and subbed till 73 currently.

And, Junni Kokki, yeah, of course.

[C.A.]

The only 'long running' anime you should really watch is One Piece. Its just keeps getting better and better, the manga is now shocking and surprising us every week. The anime keeps with the manga very closely and does not have much filler.

It has been going on for 10 years.

[Proto]

I'd suggest Legend of the Galactic heroes. Not only it is the longest OVA ever at 116 episodes, the best Japanese space opera and the best series the 80's have to offer, but it is also one of the series with the biggest cast (+100 VA's, each voicing a unique character. +20 main characters), and most detailed history.

Juuni Kokki? Monster?? Old???? Heck I consider any series from the 90's and onwards to be recent...

... maybe I'm the one that is getting old...

Wow, lol u've been watching anime for a while now haven't u? These are a little to old for me. I still remember Future Boy Conan being a really hot topic in when i was in kindergarden. And it think it was reruns in china too. But ty anyways.

No way, it is? I thought he already found his dad by the end of the ova. Please elaborate!

i kinda am, but kinda isn't> i grab the episode whenever i see it on mininova's "today's anime" list. In that case, naruto + bleach are the same. except naruto seems to be getting a little more plot than the usual bloated, over stretched anime. ^_^

ooouch. my cutoff for being recent ends at 2003, since i started burning through anime at 2007. Sheesh. Im guessing u were there when people had to do fansubbing on VHS with that big bulking machine thingy?

[Deus ex Digital Boy]

EVERY anime made in the 80s is long as fuck. And yeah, post 2000 can't be even remotely considered 'old.' If you wanna go 80s old, I suggest Space Adventure Cobra, as one of the more fun action shows from then. If you won't go farther than the 00s though (pansy) then your absolute best bet is Eureka Seven.

[Shirozakii]

AAAh thats not good. I watched my best bet 2 years ago then. >_>"

give us a damn list!

[Aeris DJ]

How about ranma 1/2? That's long and "old".
Hajime no Ippo had 76 to be precise, and there were some ova's after it, but that's in case you like boxing anime. The anime isn't that old, the manga on the other hand is older, and still running, with about 819 chapters.
About Hunter X Hunter, personally I liked it, but it depends on your taste. Since you're looking for old anime you won't mind the animation. Please don't spoil, the last ova ends differently from the manga, since it's still running.
To me, old means more like queen millenia, or captain harlock.

about hxh ova finding his dad part

Spoiler for who gon meets at ova ending:

He doesn't he ends up meeting the guy that saved him near the start of the series who was using his dads name in the game. Thats the start of a whole new arc in the manga.

[gonzo562]

slam dunk its a old school basketball anime

but its hella funny. I think thier around 100 episodes

[blewin]

Eureka Seven has 50 episodes. I think you might like it as you like FMA. The two animes are similar in many ways.

Honey and Clover has two seasons, 39 ep altogether.
Shaman King - 64 ep.
GPX Cyber Formula - 37 ep + a number of OVA sequels about 5-8 ep each.
Kekkaishi - 52 ep.
Code Geass - 2nd season is about to end. Altogether should be around 50 ep.

Ha, i was wondering what that guy was about, in the anime he was pratically pointless. I heard the mangaka go bored of the story and tried to stop. Oh well.

How are FMA and Eureka even related? Are u trying to imply that they had gay incestuous love between Al and Ed the way the mecha kid ended up with the alien girl? No. Lol.

the main resemblance between FMA and E7 is the plot: boy growing up. Other similarities include: heavy development of side-characters, wonderful animation and music, seriousness of the animes (yet at the same time light-hearted). It's not just me, some anime lovers out there agree too.

not to mention they are both produced by Studio BONES.
