They are though.
Sailor Moon is more or less the only great 200+ episode show. Most everything else that long is pointless to try to watch.
Pretty Rhythm and YGO still do it.
t. 11 out 22 minutes every episode is stock footage
isn't hunter x hunter really good?
He is a retard, pay him no mind.
According to various interviews they don't do as well anymore. Kids move on to other things much quicker now and are less likely to follow a series for more then 4 years.
Those that do still run with 200+ episodes either have an older audience that are glued on (such as One Piece) or soft reboot every few years for a new group of kids (such as Pokemon).
Otaku anime moved on to one-cour series around the time the production committee setup became popular, which was around the time Haruhi was airing. I still remember back when Haruhi was new that it was fairly unusual in that it had only 14 episodes, when popular anime back then usually had around 26 or 52 episodes.
Nonsense. Single cour shows have been common since the mid 90s or so, around the time shows started being broadcast late at night (probably not by coincidence). Two cour shows were a lot more normal than they are now, but one wasn't at all unusual by the time Haruhi came out in 2006.
Also very non-kids' shows have ever had more than 26 or so episodes.
I said 200+ specifically because I knew someone like you would come in a bring up HxH or LotGH. It has more than it's fair share of dud episodes, but it makes up for this by having more high quality episodes than anything else.
filler sucks
That was never really a thing besides certain shonen manga adaptations. Even most magical girl shows aren't longer than 50 episodes. Sailor Moon and Doremi are the only examples I can think of that go over 100. There are still shows like One Piece, Sazae-san, Boruto, Chibi Maruko, Shin-chan, and Detective Conan which are currently airing and well over 100 episodes a piece, also Precure and Pripara which change up the cast but have been running continuously for a while.
>great 200+ episode show
>over half of it is monster of the week filler
Somebody post that list of essential episodes.
>bitching about filler in Sailor Moon
>when the plot was the worst thing about the show
ha ha, what a retard
No, the worst part was the constant stock footage and repetitive plots caused by, you guessed it, monsters of the week.
>repetitive
>I just binged watched it all in one sitting so I could hurry and add it to my MAL.
Imagine being so completely unable to simply enjoy things on a weekly basis.
I suppose you enjoy the Pokemon anime too, in that case? It’s literally the same as Team Rocket, except the monsters don’t even have as much personality as them.
Because 70% of the screen time in such shows is recaps and fillers
>I only watch mature sophisticated plot heavy anime for intellectuals such as I.
same fag again.
Luckily there's five fun girls (six if you count the brat) who are fun to watch when there's no plot going on and even when they're fighting a monster of the week are still enjoyable.
It doesn’t need to be plot-heavy. In fact, it would have benefitted from having more slice of life, but the monsters of the week interrupt that in favor of minutes of stock footage.
Which is only a problem when you sit down and watch like 20 episodes at once. You actually space this shit out like it was intended it's not problem and you're just being pedantic.
Or, you can just skip the very worst and most formulaic episodes without missing a thing.
It's now clear that you've never been watching any long shows in ongoing. Don't even bother replying anymore.
>skipping episodes in a show
user, I don't think anime is really for you. Perhaps you should leave.
$$$
Skipping filler is the norm, newfag. It’s common knowledge that long-runners are full of half-assed rehashed episodes for the sake of filling the timeslot until the executives give the staff permission to get to the real meat of the anime. There are good fillers, but they’re the exception rather than the norm.
Enjoy the Africa arc of Nadia.
>Skipping filler is the norm, newfag.
Don't newfag me, Mal fag. No oldfag would ever recommend skipping.
There's a magical girl series that's been going on for the last 15 years, user.
You're a fucking ADD zoomer. Quit trying to act like you've been here longer than a few weeks.
Gungrave episode 1 says hi.
Fuck off, meme baby
desuarchive.org
Just by looking at the Yas Forums archives, people have been saying to skip it since 2008. On other sites with more well-preserved old threads, people have been saying it since at least 2004. Your move, newfag.

>In total 200 episodes of Sailor Moon were aired. With a total of 99 reported filler episodes, Sailor Moon has a high filler percentage of 50%.
Damn.
Not profitable to do so anymore unless it's a large well-known franchise like Yugioh or wan piss
Isn't black clover still running
>when the plot was the worst thing about the show
>plot elements like Naru being in an abusive relationship with a villain are worse than beating random enemies with the same stock footage every episode
Look, I know you're memeing this unthinkingly, but Sailor Moon has some bloody fantastic plot, which is pretty high up there on the things it actually does well. It also has some pretty damn great filler episdoes, though mixed in with many bad ones.
Yeah, it's not hard to make your anime long when you reuse so much footage
They are, but they're shoddily made weekly messes like what Toei spews out
>not counting the outers
Hotaru is best girl, but:
>Haruka
Once you get over the fact she’s a dyke, she’s just a dyke. Often unnecessarily edgy for the sake of forced drama too.
>Michiru
Mary Sue. Also edgy.
>Setsuna
Who?
voice actors: If the show does well, they negotiate for higher salary, thus killing the show. if the show does poorly, they want to quit and do another project, thus killing the show.
I'm glad that it's going to stop at 125 episodes.
