Talk:List of anime series by episode count

Updating the page
I've started working on redoing the page a bit. I added first and last date columns, changed the list to include TV series with 150+ episodes and OVA/ONA series of 20+ episodes. Anyone is welcome to help with adding the first and last dates. I've started working on them. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 08:08, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I removed Alice in Cyberland as I can't find any evidence of it being a an animated series (other than a one-episode release). I also removed the You're Under Arrest Specials as they are not OVAs or ONAs; rather, they are TV specials. I also question whether Tenchi Muyo! should be on the list as it is actually three separate OVA series combines into one. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 06:20, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I reverted it back to the new format. We do not need it broken into weird sections of arbitrary length as they don't help in any way. Also, we don't need to have it as long as it was. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 05:43, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Question about Detective Conan
The list says that an episode of Detective Conan can last anywhere between 25 and 125 minutes but... 2 hours 5 minutes per episode? That wouldn't be good... or is it referring to 25 minutes per episode and around 125 minutes (2 hours 5 minutes) per OVA? --Fandelasketchup (talk) 16:27, 26 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Detective Conan episode lengths vary, though overall the episode is about 25 minutes in a normal run. During it's height of popularity, Detective Conan used to have One hour, One and a Half Hour, Two hour, and even Two and a half hour specials, though even just One Hour specials is a rarity since it has moved time slots several years ago. So yes, the listing is indeed accurate. Mendinso (talk) 12:24, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Pokémon
Pokémon should be higher in the list. I know they passed 17 seasons so far. The separate regions are considered different series but they have the same basic cast and everything. 208.167.254.242 (talk) 17:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Slight description issue
Pretty Cure is used as an example of a "franchise with multiple television series", but is itself discounted by the "distinct season names" rule. I suggest it be changed to something that is not. Named1.7 (talk) 17:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Question on the different seasons name rule.
So I was about to edit this page to include both Cardfight!! Vanguard (2011) which has 196 episodes and then Cardfight!! Vanguard G, which has 174 episodes. But I noticed for some odd reason that the edit page specifically called out Vanguard as a show not to be added for some reason, which left me confused, but upon reviewing why it said that I saw it was because each season has a different name that does not individually pass 100 episodes. And this rule has left me doubly confused as despite the addition of this rule, there are still numerous anime, most notably JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on the list that infringe it. Even more bizarre as not unlike a series like Vanguard which despite this restriction has all of it's seasons following one cohesive plot, JoJo's does not with 6 different plots and characters that can be considered different anime series - not unlike Yu-Gi-Oh! or Pokémon, or for non-anime Comparisons, Doctor Who for instance - all 6 of whom fall under the required 100 episode minimum. This left me confused as to the apparent double standard on this page for this reason, and I hope that either the rule is properly enforced as it should be, or that it be done with all together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idelarosa (talk • contribs) 14:47, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Found series
Series I've come across that all appear to go over 100 episodes that are to be added:
