For long running series, I'd have to say One Pece easily tops the list, (for me) The un[url]EDITED[/url] version of course. ( Sadly, that was an understatment)

Followed by Naruto,

And then D-Gray-Man's starting to look good...

What exactly is "Anime". Does that mean it has to be japanese style or does it simply mean animation?

Depending on how picky you want to be with the term, my first real animated show I would watch start to end was The Transformers when I was a kid. It didn't all start to flow together until the 3rd season. That's when the stories got to be a bigger arch, and I loved it. 93 episodes in the Series.

My first favorite anime was actually shorter as it only has 30-something episodes, but it was anime true to the form and it was awesome. It came before DBZ. It's Ronins Warriors (Samurai Troopers in Japan.) I loved that series.

I did like DBZ too, but that was far too slow paced for me to stick with. Also the fights all started to look the same after a while.

But if the criteria is more strict and it has to be Japanese anime with at least 50 episodes or so, I'd say Bleach.

I just discovered it and I'm currently addicted to Bleach. Bleach is the flavor of the year for me.

There's only one long series anime in my top ten and it's at #2, Cardcaptor Sakura. I love it.

Doraemon starting from 1979 and still running today, with over 2,000 episodes.

Simply put, the series is just awesome. The mere fact of the show still running today should be a sign to its popularity and success.

Depending on just how long you mean, then my favorite is Pokemon. No joke. depends on what you consider a long series though. Long makes me think 100+ episodes

Eh, I have a lot. But what got my attention was Eureka Seven, Naruto, and Naruto Shippudden. Eureka Seven because of the relationship between the characters and what they stand for, and the storyline. Naruto and Naruto Shippudden because of the storyline again, and the originality. It's extremely original compared to the other ninja shows out there.
