User blog comment:Nicolas Yami/It One Piece really long?/@comment-2226235-20150423030408

By anime standards, One Piece is incredibly long. Most anime runs in either 12 or 24 episode seasons, give or take. Occasionally there'll be one with multiple seasons, but more than 2 or three is pretty rare. There are a few that have more episodes, like FMA and Soul Eater, but those are pretty rare. Aside from little kid shows, having more than 100 episodes is very rare and more than 500 is almost unheard of. The only ones I can name off the top of my head are One Piece, Naruto, Detective Conan and Dragonball. So One Piece is actually way longer than most anime.
