the longest running anime show

well i think as meny DBZ episodes their are that DBZ is the answer

I agree but naruto is close though.

what about Inuyasha? that runs pretty long.

yugioh and beyblade

Beyblades not that long. Yugioh....the whole string of it it damn well long.

POKEMON PEOPLE!!!!! don't diss that XD

Definitely Pokemon above all the rest now. ESPECIALLY INUYASHA cause all those damn eps was only the end of one part of the story and not the whole damn thing! I couldn't believe that crap!

no DBZ has about 7-8 seasons all with about 134 episodes each,naruto has two seasons with about 225 episodes each (eastimating the seacond season)
poke mon has 4-5 seasons with about 128 episodes on it.

Well true ^^

DBZ n Pokemon...ANNOYING! haha well DBZ not so much but pokemon is really annoying

Dragonball overall has far more episodes than Naruto, by a span of 222 episodes. Pokemon has 554 episodes (plus 10 movies), beating the DB franchise by about 50 episodes. Detective Conan has about 5 more episodes (to date, as that show is still on TV and DB is not) than the DB franchise as well. Digimon nearly has more overall episodes than Naruto as well, with 249.

So, Naruto isn't even close. And with the Dragonball franchise being officially over, it has no chance against Detective Conan and Pokemon either.

Hehe But Do any of them Have an Mmo In Development... I think not.

I did not realize how far dbz was on for.
\Did not realize Connan was still on.

Digimon was the best, until the crappy 4th season.

Season 5 kicked ass. Disney managed to get some highly respected voice talent in on that (Crispin Freeman? Mary Elizabeth McGlynn? David Fucking Lucas?! Holy shit), and the writing managed to not blow.

Season 2-3 was my favorite. never saw 5. Just because after seeing seasion 4 made me lose my interest.
Better than the Pokemon series in my opinion

I always had the first season as my favorite, though season 5 supplanted season two as second place.

Pokemon was good way back. Then Again, I can't believe I used to like it so much...
Now when I watch it I get so annoyed >_<....

hey I think digimon was good...until some point it started to get annoying as well but I got no problem with digimon at all pokemonnn is whats getting really old...they should just end pokemon...like seriously!

I know huh?
Stupid Pokemon

Season 2 was almost the samething as 1 except they can switch, and there were towers instead of black gears.

Come to think of it season 3 Was the best. the red stuff, that i cant remember the decimated digi-world and etc etc.

hmm.....longest running? either naruto or pokémon......maybe....just maybe Transformers

Wait a minute I think you have a point Illusion

I disagree. The overall plot was the same, but the atmosphere and style was different, with season one being darker and much more mature than season 2.

Well that is true and all.
How dark can you get with a kiddy aimed anime eh?
Season 3 got serious when the went to the digi wold and it was like uhh Crap.

Said By ExShinobi

I dunno. Amidst the wonder and excitement, there was a constant struggle for survival present throughout the majority of the first season simply because the kids were trapped in the Digi-world constantly being chased (notably missing in season 2). Factor in the inner-turmoil that many of the characters had (which also mainly vanished in season 2 other than between Ken and Cody), it showed how not everyone is automatically a hero when danger is forced upon them. I think that is quite a mature theme, comparatively speaking.

Well honestly i was not thinking about that when i watched it sadly.
i was a little kid, i was more focused on the Explosions and mosters etc.
i had a rather short attention span.
i ought to find the first season somewhere and re-watch it so i can understand it better

the longest running one is DBZ

I know some hentais that are shorter. LOL

Fooly Cooly was the best even if it was the shortest, it had action, romance, and comady all in one.

fooly cooly in no way was the shortest.
there are 1 episode animes.
do some research.
