I agree with all you have said before about mainstream anime. But there are some exception.
The "not-popular" ones usually the good ones. But I haven't watched or read D.Gray-Man though.Accelerator-kun wrote:
For example look at D.Gray-Man. It has lots of episodes, but it's awesome (of course, the manga is way better) and it's not as famous as Bleach/Naruto/One Piece so I don't know if it counts.

Look at Bleach now, the manga is long, very long (50+ volumes right now) but it's good. The anime instead is awful. Just look at Ichigo, he is horrible in anime version.
They made it long with damn flashbacks and needless words. It's an anime for those who're unable to catch-up with anything.Accelerator-kun wrote:
Naruto, if only was shorter, would be acceptable.
Too much words? Isn't that a Visual / Light Novel?Accelerator-kun wrote:
One Piece, the longer one, has no chances. The style is for kids, the story is just an excuse to add tons of useless arcs. And the manga is also horrible. The page layout is awful, with tons of dialogues near each other. Very, very confusionary style.
True once more. All depends on how the story keep up with the characters inside it. Characters exist in a story to create the story and also end it themselves. If a character are able to end a story but they do not (without an acceptable reason; likewise most mainstream shounen you see now. Either the producer thought about it or not), it'll obviously make the story awful.Accelerator-kun wrote:
By the way, a long story is not synonymous of an incoming disaster. Look at Berserk. The manga has 70+ volumes but it's very good.
Anyway, personally the only shounen anime with lots of episodes that I really like is D.Gray-Man (103 episodes)... I love it.
