long stories are good but they are f****ing slow, that's why i stoped seeing Naruto (it is cool but slow) same thing to DBZ.
now only short stories, because are the cheaper. i mean short from 12 to 25 or 50 episodes, and are interesing too, but they don't lose too much time like the long sotries

Long series are always better in my book! Better details and a more indepth story line! ^^

I only like longer ones if they don't end awkwardly or drag on. One example is NANA, a 50-or-so episode show. Even though it was long, it ended on a unsatisfying note and only made me want to read the manga to find out what happened.

On the other hand, Fullmetal Alchemist was a longer series, but had a good, complete ending to it that didn't leave me wanting more ~ !

I prefer longer series, because I like to devote myself to one for a while. :D

Except w/ Naruto I've missed so many eps ^_^'

i only read the manga of anime's i like.
trying to find the episodes and catch the schedule is horrendus. ^_^

Short because if it's good you don't want to waste time on fillers, but you also don't want to drag it out either. If it's too long I start to lose interest & find something else. But not too short though because then the ending would prolly be wack and then I'll want to smash up the telly.

I know what you mean about getting slow...that's what happened to me w/ YuYu......T-T

The longer the better as far as I'm concerned.

I hate getting involved in a story and then having it end. I'd rather it go on for ages.
