i usually don't watch anime based on a manga unless it is shounen like naruto,bleach,OP etc or it is done well & the series is old(like rurouni kenshin),of course excluding fillers & endings/OVAs not in manga.
GTA manga >>> GTO anime
Dunno why you guys didnt like it. It still is considered in top 25 anime of all time and listed in top 10 in some portals like MAL.
You talking as if I was forcing you to watch/ read it.Just because it is in top 25, doesn't mean everybody likes it. I enjoyed it till episode 16-17, but after that it is nothing but drag. I even compromise myself it will pick up the pace again, that is why I watched it till 26th one, but it is getting worse episode after episode. So I dropped the idea of watching GTO!
Also, not everyone have the time and energy to read manga. That is why I prefer anime! BTW Finished 4/11 in Zankyou no Terror. So far it is your regular story, let's see how it is going to end up!

Its your life man, I know its hard to take out time esp when one is married.
^^you are assuming ppl watch it in one go,don't forget simpsons is running for 26 years now.also check out below links that will make 700+ episode count a joke.
List of television programs by episode count - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
don't forget indian daily soap operas like shanti,yug & newer ones like baalika vadhu(1900+ ep & counting).
For animes, I see 12 episodes as ideal length. Can stretch upto 25-26 episodes. But beyond that I feel no inclination to even download the anime. There has to be fillers in that. And if I have to see something I better see the best of lot, varying experiences rather than a continuation of same theme. May be some day I will be watching 700+ animes just for a change.
I still don't get how come people go through this 700+ episodes of anime? Anything north of 50 is big no no for me. Only anime(sort of) I watched for more than 50 was, Avatar : The Last Airbender and Korra! But even that wouldn't go beyond 100 episode tops!
American animation doesn't counts as anime.
I was addicted to One Piece when I started watching it. Used to watch ~30 episodes per day till I finally caught up with it. Did this in vacation of course.
For me, anything between 12-14 is ideal and practical. Anything above that, I am pretty sure I will not finish them, even if I wanted to!!!!
Btw, this arc finishing in 795 or 800? Lets Bet?
Watch fullmetal alchemist brotherhood.. its 64 episodes and extremely good, IMDB 9.4
Very good story and soundtrack.. It takes place in an alternate universe germany ish country called Amestris where Alchemy is a new branch of science
