Hmm....that'd be Bleach. Ended up finishing the OG series, which I initially dropped during the shitty bount arc when it was airing, however, ended up finishing it (skipping the fillers) when Thousand Year Blood War got announced.
Edit: bount not blunt*
It might be a hot take but I think that Bleach fillers while still shitty weren't that bad. Some of them were better than some non-filler Naruto arcs. But that's just my honest opinion
Only Hunter×Hunter, which I have watched six times in total over 9 years.
JoJo as well, if you count series with separated seasons.
My friends and I do a bi-weekly anime night where everyone chooses a series and we watch an episode of each; kind of like a curated Toonami block. One of my friends chose the original Urusei Yatsura.
We're currently on episode 152, with many more remaining.
I don't remember if it has 100 episodes or more, but it would be Legend of the Galactic Heroes, granted one of the reasons I never finished it was just how long it was.
@Caligvla It does to my remembrance, like... 110 episodes? I think?
Something like that. I got to go back and rewatch that thing to the end, it's a good show, just waaaay too long and slow paced.
One and only Gintama
Detective Conan/Case Closed.
Hunter x Hunter, it was amazing. Usually I watch 12 episode stuff in a completely different style so it seemed a bit daunting but I ended up binging the whole thing because of how much I loved it.
What is the last anime you watched over 100 episodes? (Or the longest you've watched if none qualify?)
Gundam SEED (SEED + Destiny + Freedom) just barely made the cut.
I'm not counting Saiki K because each episode was really short IIRC.
I usually don't watch long-running anime because the plot tend to drag on unnecessarily - probably because their creators are trying to milk them for their worth.
I would just drop them out of boredom and frustration with the lack of progress in plot. In fact, I feel that the Gundam SEED series could have been shorter.
I'd say Gintama has a shot at taking over as my longest-running watched series though.

That's where I'm at right now. My spouse and I started watching on a whim and it wasn't long before we were hooked. Blazed through the first two(?) seasons and then somewhere after episode 100 things just started dragging. I forget exactly where we're at right now because we only watch an episode every so often lately. Could be just us getting burned out, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The last two would be JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Bleach, but as they have already been mentioned that would be Naruto/Shippuden... Hell, I just realized I don't watch many stuff beyond 100 episodes haha.
If we're counting rewatches for me it'd be:
I recently completed Yu Yu Hakusho myself (English dub).
The last 100+ episodes anime I've watched must've been all of the original Legend of The Galactic Heroes! It's a classic :blobcatcoffee:
Apart from that, Hunter x Hunter and Naruto
IIRC the Monogatari Series had exactly 100 episodes if you don't include the 3 movies and Off Season.
Shingeki no Kyojin had 90+.
I don't think I've ever watching anything else nearly as long as those two. Unless...
Stopped watching One Piece at ep 900+
I think the closest I've ever gotten to that was Rurouni Kenshin, at... let's see... 95 episodes. That was many years ago.
A few years back, and I honestly have no idea why, I watched about 75 episodes of Fairy Tail (less than half of its run) before I burnt out on it.
There's a few standard things I've watched that clock in at about 50 or 60 episodes - FMA and Brotherhood, DanMachi, SAO, Initial D and the like.
The vast majority of the things I watch seem to only last one season, or occasionally two.
I was watching One Piece for the first time and got to ep 160 or something.
DragonballZ
I suffered through the unmitigated and uncut One Piece anime until my interest and patience petered out at the end of Punk Hazard. I'll get back in one day...
Watched all of One Piece last year. Took over 400 hours.
Gintama
I just watched episodes 1115 and 1116 of One Piece last night. Bleach is my overall favorite anime.
Not sure if Kingdom is at 100 yet, if not then Gintama
The last long anime I've watched is probably Pripara. If you like idol anime, brainrot and Looney Tunes logic, I recommended it.
I have two(?) that I did back to back.
The first was finishing One Piece. After nearly a full calendar year, I've finally caught up and have been actively watching Egghead.
The second was finishing the One Piece 4kids dub, which managed to just barely last a hundred episodes. If you're a huge fan of One Piece and B-movies, I'd highly recommend it. The scripts are awful, the censorship is nonsensical, and the obsession with accents is just bizarre, but the voice actors seriously nail the delivery. 4kids basically produced a One Piece parody for children, and it's so much fun to laugh at.
I've watched 200-odd episodes (plus several movies) of Detective Conan, AKA Case Closed, over the years, because sometimes I just need a mildly entertaining timewaster. So I've seen maybe 20% of that series as it presently stands.
Other than that, some long-running shounen nonsense (Hero Academia, Black Clover, Bleach, Fairy Tail, possibly others I'm forgetting), all of which would have been better if they were shorter. I've also seen most of Sailor Moon at one time or another, and it would have been better if it had ended sooner than it did.
The Slayers (104 eps) and Kyo Kara Maoh! (117? eps) were the longest I can think of that were worth watching a second time. Saiyuki (if you count all the variously-titled bits as a single series it must have passed 100 by now) might also qualify if it ever achieves a decent ending.
(I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting—I've seen a lot of anime.)
