Even if it had a lot of episodes over the course of two years, a series has to have run for at least ten years to count as a Long-Runner on this site.

* LongRunners: In October 1981, long-running anime were still extremely rare (''Manga/AstroBoy'', ''Manga/SazaeSan'', ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'', and ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'' being notable exceptions). Yet '''''this''''' show with its simple, absurd, and extraordinarily risque premise ran for two full years, putting out a total of '''95''' episodes.
