Uh, wow, I found out what anime had the most episodes. - VGF

MasaFACE · 11-07-2006, 02:03 AM

At first I thought it was one piece with 285 episodes, after a quick google search it turns out it is an anime known as Sazae-san, which has about 4000-5000 episodes. It's been running since 1969.

Serial Miller · 11-07-2006, 06:25 AM

Heh, now that's a long-running show.

***Ace Mercury*** · 11-07-2006, 07:52 AM

Yeah, I remember one of my friends saying that. I thought it would be, like, a 'famous' anime here, like Doremon or something like that, but Sazae-san kicks it's tushie by an order of magnitude.

Seriously though, how do you come up with 4000+ episodes on the same characters? I mean, I can think about an episode when they go to the beach, and they have a birthday party, but I don't think I could keep that up for several decades and not outright reuse ideas.

M. Hercule Poirot · 11-07-2006, 04:51 PM

...That is ridiculous. Geez, you'd have to be dedicated to the extreme to watch every single one of THOSE episodes.

Abel Cain · 11-07-2006, 04:53 PM

I don't know how they could have made that many episodes and the show not lose everyone of the fans. I would have got sick of wacthing it.

***Ace Mercury*** · 11-07-2006, 05:16 PM

When you get around the 1000 episode range, you'll probably lose more viewers due to old age.

BrandonTragedy · 11-07-2006, 05:31 PM

MasaFACE · 11-07-2006, 05:34 PM

Indeed, and apparently it is still running, I'll have to look into that.

Demonicus Prime · 11-07-2006, 06:32 PM

I thought the DragonBall series would win against One Piece, but this is, well, disturbing......

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-07-2006, 07:02 PM

Bleach and Naruto are still going strong.

***Ace Mercury*** · 11-07-2006, 07:07 PM

Well, at the rate they're going, you'll need to wait seventy years before it'll hit 4000 episodes. By then, Sazae-san will have subtlely, but completely taken over the world.

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-07-2006, 07:14 PM

How popular is this anime, anyway?

Valigarmander · 11-07-2006, 07:18 PM

Sazae-san... never heard of it. Yeah, you'd have to be pretty damn dedicated to the series to watch that many episodes.

Whelp the dragon · 11-09-2006, 08:49 AM

I would hate to try and collect that series, I wouldn't have a room left after putting all the DVDs in it.

Inferno Dragon · 11-10-2006, 01:28 PM

well they could do it by 1000 episodes with 50 per DVD and 2 in each DVD case in a set of 10 volume box sets

Chunky Kong12345 · 11-10-2006, 05:51 PM

...you can't fit ~1500 minutes on a single DVD.

Inferno Dragon · 11-10-2006, 06:47 PM

okay a ten volume box with 5 disks in each DVD case with 20 episodes on each disk (I've seen DVDs with 20 episodes on one disk before)

comeonman1111 · 11-10-2006, 10:48 PM

southpark is running out of ideas and in turn comes up with their own crazy insane new ones...their episodes take about 5-6 days to make with usual touchups just hours before it airs.

Valigarmander · 11-10-2006, 10:58 PM

South Park > You
