Question about Detective Conan

The list says that an episode of Detective Conan can last anywhere between 25 and 125 minutes but... 2 hours 5 minutes per episode? That wouldn't be good... or is it referring to 25 minutes per episode and around 125 minutes (2 hours 5 minutes) per OVA? --Fandelasketchup (talk) 16:27, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Detective Conan episode lengths vary, though overall the episode is about 25 minutes in a normal run. During it's height of popularity, Detective Conan used to have One hour, One and a Half Hour, Two hour, and even Two and a half hour specials, though even just One Hour specials is a rarity since it has moved time slots several years ago. So yes, the listing is indeed accurate. Mendinso (talk) 12:24, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Slight description issue

Pretty Cure is used as an example of a "franchise with multiple television series", but is itself discounted by the "distinct season names" rule. I suggest it be changed to something that is not. Named1.7 (talk) 17:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question on the different seasons name rule.

So I was about to edit this page to include both Cardfight!! Vanguard (2011) which has 196 episodes and then Cardfight!! Vanguard G, which has 174 episodes. But I noticed for some odd reason that the edit page specifically called out Vanguard as a show not to be added for some reason, which left me confused, but upon reviewing why it said that I saw it was because each season has a different name that does not individually pass 100 episodes. And this rule has left me doubly confused as despite the addition of this rule, there are still numerous anime, most notably JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on the list that infringe it. Even more bizarre as not unlike a series like Vanguard which despite this restriction has all of it's seasons following one cohesive plot, JoJo's does not with 6 different plots and characters that can be considered different anime series - not unlike Yu-Gi-Oh! or Pokémon, or for non-anime Comparisons, Doctor Who for instance - all 6 of whom fall under the required 100 episode minimum. This left me confused as to the apparent double standard on this page for this reason, and I hope that either the rule is properly enforced as it should be, or that it be done with all together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idelarosa (talk • contribs) 14:47, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Di Gi Charat Nyo!~~

~~Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!!~~

My Hero Academia

@M S Hassan: Clarifying what I meant in the revision note because it wasn't enough: it says that series that air seasons under distinctive names shouldn't be added, but that doesn't apply to My Hero Academia. And as I already said, there are quite a bit of series on here already sorted out by seasons. So the only reason you would have to undo my edit would be because they took a break from airing new episodes per-season, which is not at all what the listed note says.

@GalaxyFighter55 You're not wrong about the "distinctive names" point. However, the examples you mentioned, such as One Piece and Black Clover, didn't divide the anime into seasons while airing, unlike My Hero Academia. M S Hassan 📬✍🏻 19:36, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M S Hassan: The articles themselves say otherwise. In fact, the Japanese home media sets currently divide One Piece with 21 seasons, usually per the story's current location. Black Clover is sort of an underliner I guess since it seems to be based off Crunchyroll's division instead of anything from Japan. The point is your conditions here are inconsistent and need revising if MHA supposedly doesn't qualify for this list. Because if that were the case, something like Fairy Tail (3 seasons with production breaks) would have to be removed as well.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 19:39, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
