Unless it's bleach... I love bleach even though a lot of "hardcore" anime fans would ridicule me for that, but I do agree there are way too many filler arcs (even not having read the manga). At the same time, the manga is huge as well which is nice for content but not nice for the wallet. As a lover of physical books and having no ebook reader, reading the manga from the beginning, or even from where I left off the anime, would cost probably hundreds of dollars of which I have none.
I've only finished two animes, Eureka Seven and the original FMA, both of which are around 50 episodes. I liked that length.
also, OMFG ONE PIECE IS HUGE! I never knew there were so many episodes. I don't think I'll go down that rabbit hole just yet...
