I think a lot of people forget a lot of anime is actually only 12 episodes long, or 26 episodes.

It's really only the shonen shows that go on for literally hundreds of episodes. You can watch about 50-70+ anime in the same time it would take you to watch all 291 episodes of DBZ again.

This is pretty sad...I guess that the majority of people who voted in this were people like some of my friends who love anime but think Dragon Ball Z is "fight, grunt, what?"

I never thought of it like that but you're right, One Piece is only 13 episodes away from being 800 episodes so you could easily watch 100+ short anime instead of that.
