In the age of streaming services, where Netflix releases an entire season of a series in a single day, even if it’s only eight episodes, such giants, titans of the TV industry as Japanese serial anime seem like something from a parallel universe.
It is very difficult to imagine a project that started in the fifties or sixties and is still going on. And it was popular at the same time! But Japan knows how to surprise. In this article we have collected the 8 longest anime in the world, many of which are still broadcast on TV in Japan.
Many fans love shonen anime; it is one of the most popular genres today. “Magic Battle”, “Chainsaw Man”, “Bleach” – all these anime belong to this genre. But shonen became very popular precisely thanks to “Dragon Ball”. Some critics even call it the most influential shonen in the world. The franchise includes 806 episodes and 21 feature films since 1986.
Hot on the heels of Dragon Ball’s success, another popular shonen, One Piece, hit the screens in 1999. To date, the Straw Hat Pirates franchise has released 1,118 episodes (and counting) and 15 feature films. In addition, Netflix released a live-action series last year, which was warmly received by fans. The second season has been announced, filming has begun, but there is no exact release date yet.
