Definitely watching Dragon Ball Z as a teenager sometime in 2012 or 2013. I remember vividly having entire weekends being just sleeping, eating, and binging Dragon Ball Z, like 12 hours a day every weekend!

I watched the entirety of Soul Eater in about a day and a half. The only breaks I took were to sleep, shower, and use the restroom.

Debatable if you want to count Avatar (TLA, not blue cat people). Watched that in basically one sitting, besides going to the bathroom and quick trips to the fridge. That’s 61 episodes at a little over 20 minutes each.
And I’ve watched cowboy bebop in a single sitting a few times, though that’s very short in comparison.

I haven’t had a proper binge for a while but the last one I did was last year catching up with Apothecary Diaries and watched both 2cour seasons in 2 days.
Used to be able to do it all the time, but I just cant any more. I’m almost 40, there’s too much to do and too much to worry about.

I watched the 1997 Berserk series in one sitting.
I fell in love instantly.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 days ago I watched the entire series of Case Closed over a single weekend.

There are ~400 hours of the Meitantei Conan TV show and ~50 hours of movies though???

Multiple TVs, playing multiple episodes at the same time. 😤

Length of the entire Series of case closed: 16 days, 16 hours.
Length of one weekend: 48h.
Doesn’t check out.

I can’t figure out how many episodes I watched in one session… but I finished Vinland saga in one weekend. Nothing TOO crazy but I feel like that’s all I did that weekend. It’s only 8 hours between two days I guess but it felt like much longer.
Endmaker@ani.social 1 day ago
I binged Vinland Saga too. Though, in my case, ~48-episodes isn’t long enough to be my longest binge.

I watched all of naruto+shippuden over roughly 3 weeks.

Sort of thinking through my fingers here…
The first notable one I can think of is watching the entire run of Elfen Lied in a single sitting, so 12 episodes. I’ve done that a number of times since though, most recently with the first season of Zombieland Saga.
One curious one was Magic Knight Rayearth. I watched most of the first season - 20 episodes - in a single day, but not so much because I was so hooked on the story. What it was was that if I didn’t catch it in time at the end of one episode, the next episode would start, so the OP would start, and that was it. There was no way I could turn off what is, IMO, the best OP ever, so I’d end up just letting it go, which led into the episode, and so on. I’m not sure how many total episodes I watched that way though.
I can only think of one instance when I’m certain I watched more than a single season/cour in a single sitting, and that was The Apothecary Diaries. I watched the first half or so of the first cour of the first season one day, and it was certainly good, but it hadn’t yet fully hooked me. But then when everything started coming together in the second half of that cour, I couldn’t stop, and I watched the rest of it plus the entire 12 episode second cour in one long binge. I’m pretty sure that started from about the time that Maomao went home to visit her father, which was episode 7, so that’s 18 episodes or about 7 hours.

Not sure if it can be considered a binge since it took me multiple days (but still done in a werk or so) due to the sheer number of episodes, but it’s Pokemon Horizons for me. I believe it was at ~120 episodes when I caught up.
Second place would be Gundam SEED (inclusive of Destiny) which is ~100 episodes long.
If it must be done in one sitting to be considered a binge, then plenty of one-cour (12 episodes long) anime tie for first place for me.

Probably the time I watched all 26 episodes of Simoun in a day instead of studying for finals (it was a jam-packed semester and I needed a burn-out day).

Probably rewatching HxH, and One Piece.
HxH (2011) everytime Togashi comes back from hiatus.
I tried One Pace (fan edit) to catch up (I read the manga) but still end up dropping them post-marinford. The difference in quality and overall vibes is just too vast.

Watched a bunch of horror and mind bending anime similar to SEL and Blood. I binged ate tempeh and rice those 2 weeks, drank Moutai, and got heavily invested in calligraphy.

Don’t recall the longest, though my most recent was watching season 7 and 8 of MHA. The joys of waiting for a series to conclude before catching up.

Kill la Kill on new years
hitagi@ani.social 1 day ago I think it was Season 3 of SNK. Watched the whole thing in a day lol
My most intense experience was Fullmetal Alchemist. The story is so interconnected and cohesive that I was entirely hooked and lost track of time.
