Longest anime ranking with most episodes

Have you ever wondered which are the longest anime of all time? The anime with more episodes? Or the biggest anime in the world? In today's article we will share a complete list with the longest anime and most episodes in the whole story.

When talking about big anime people think of One Piece, Naruto, but there are several anime that exceed 100 to 200 episodes. Some are very old anime, others are childish, or some end up being divided into seasons.

This long anime list was made in November 2016, so episode numbers for some anime may change over time. If you want to know about mangaes, we already wrote an article talking about the longest manga in the world. 

Remember that we will not post synopses, nor much details about the anime below, it is just a list with few details, if the title calls your curiosity, do a search on our website or in our Anime List kyaneko.com

Remembering that the anime in production can win more episodes. Even the finished ones can win a new season. Some may not be on the list because they have different names instead of seasons.

Cuors – How anime releases work

One of the reasons our list of longer Anime and with more episodes is not so accurate is that some Anime are divided into several seasons and not all are on that list.

Usually an anime is made and categorized according to the number of seasons of anime a year. These seasons are based on the four seasons and each anime can show 12 to 14 episodes per season.

When an anime shows 12 to 14 episodes and ends, we call it 1 cour, when an anime arrives between 22 and 24 episodes passing from one season to another, we call it 2 cours.

Each cour is equivalent to a season or season that the anime is shown. If an anime is aired on one station, and then comes back on after the other season has paused, it is often called a slip cour.

Usually when taking this season break, the Anime comes back as a second or next season. Anime that are shown by several stations without breaks, on the other hand, can be called by the number of cours shown.
