What is the last anime you watched over 100 episodes? (Or the longest you've watched if none qualify?)

In case folks are curious, I'm asking because I just got halfway through watching Tsurikichi Sanpei (109 episodes) and it got me thinking.

Yawara! ended up becoming my favorite series of all time (I have cell art from it and everything) and it had a whopping 124 episodes and two films! I think that's the latest one I've finished.

Though Attack No. 1 (104 episodes), all of Dragon Ball & Super, Yu Yu Hakusho, and My Hero Academia as well hit those big marks.

How about y'all Lemmy friends?

For me, the longest I have watched is Robotech, if you count it since it was technically three different anime originally.

Robotech did a mostly faithful (especially for the time) dub of the original SDF Macross, and then edited the story and footage more heavily for its 2nd and third arcs, which were from SDC Southern Cross and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Robotech came in at like, 85 episodes.

If Robotech doesn't count, Overlord (52) is in 2nd with a very close 3rd plce by Sei Juushi Bismarck (51 episodes).

To me, a high episode count doesn't always equate to quality. I once assumed that since anime like One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Naruto have such high episode counts, they HAVE to be good, but I just couldn't get into them. They weren't for me.

On the other hand, some shows I felt were way too short and wished they had more episodes. Anime like Bubblegum Crisis (not Tokyo 2040), Chobits, Heaven's Lost Property, Claymore, Coffin Princess Chaika, etc. I liked them a lot and when they ended I just kept wishing there was more.
