"Don't worry, it'll get better after episode 384."

A good story should have an ending. Certain shows like Naruto, could take over 250 hours to watch. While they might not be terrible, I'm sure those 250 hours could be spent on shorter and more profound series.

I do not like long anime series. But I do have respect for the writers that have to stretch out a story to 200+ episodes though.

Definitely respect that they can keep the shows going for so long. When some shows get cancelled after the first season, it's impressive. For each anime, there's an office of people slaving to meet seasonal deadlines.
