I do not have too much time watching anime.
So I prefer a short series to 12-30 episodes.

I try to watch series with 11-13 episodes but I do occasionally watch series with 25.

As long the show is good it's fine and besides a lot of shows have multiple seasons now so 24+ is pretty common even tho lots of people I know say they only watch 12 episode shows.

long ones.

because i like to spend the precious times of mine for this.

The only 'long' anime I watch was FMA and Hajime no Ippo.

Apart from that I prefer 12 - 24 episode anime.

For me "long anime" are like Naruto Bleach etc...

Then I would say I love anime with several seasons (favorite one : To aru kagaku no Railgun") and I'm very sad because most of the time they're taken from LN's and producers always stop the anime series >:

Having a successful long anime is very hard to achieve, most of which are hit or miss. Long animes usually tend to be either amazing or terrible. Personally I don't really like 12 episode seasons. They are easier to make and a lot cheaper too plus if its popular enough they can just make more seasons creating more of a hype factor for the next season and increase sales. However most of those seem to be rushed or squished into the short 12 weeks that they have, so generally speaking I don't really like those. I personally like 24 episode seasons which seem more spaced out and can see the story and characters develop at a steady pace.

I disagree, a terrible long anime will generally be cut before it gets long and long animes often lack the foresight to have symbolism and foreshadowing. So they end up good or very good.

I tend to stop watching half way through long animes and picking it up again several weeks later.
Short animes all the way.

Usually 12. Sometimes up to 60 if good.

I'm fine with anything <50 episodes per season.

Doesn't matter if the anime is good or not its whether or not the anime is popular or not, so how you view the anime is all how the viewer looks at it I'm not gonna judge on that. There are qute a few out there that are very popular but are not essentially "good" anime

I doubt you've seen a terrible anime. They definitely don't have the capacity to be popular. I'm advocating they are only ever better than average.

Inb4 you suggest Naruto as an example of a terrible long anime.

Would Detective Conan count because imo I don't think it's good and that shit has been running for a long time.

I've only seen like the first 12 episodes of Conan. I wouldn't say it is good or terrible, just mediocre. Did it get significantly worse over time? I personally wasn't including children's television in my perspective.

12 per season is good enough, some 24 episode anime are good. Anything over 24 will get boring.

But having a season 2 exempts a series from this rule Kappa

12-24 is about right. If it's a really good anime then i would happily watch more then 24.
