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?

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)_/¯
