It has to be the Dragonball series for me.

508 episodes spanning across 16 seasons, with 18 movies and 4 specials. It has to be the longest anime series I seen.

I am at episode 78 of conan, funny story.

I saw on wikipedia that there was an anime (sazae-san) with more than 2000 episodes (started in 1946)
I don't know if it still airs (I think they don't send something that old on an tv)

Checked that one for fun and in fact. It still airs on Fuji Television with up to 6345+ episodes! Thats ALOT! While Doraemon being in 2nd with a total of 1950 episodes and still on-going as Sazae-san. Damn don't they ever grow up? Like Detective Conan. One episode can last for 2 days in the anime time and it's been over 2 years already in the anime and conan is still the same old conan and ran has yet to even graduate!

EDIT : Link here

Found out that if the anime serie anyhow changes name it will start to list them from episode 1 again.

Even if pokemon wins in terms of episode it doesnt win in terms of quality in storyline over other series. Digimon atleast had a goal that actually ended. Pokemon.....When is the day that you will grow up Ash? or Hikaru i believe in japanese

Digimon didn't have a good story. At all. Even though it was aimed at a children's demographic any type of children's media should at least contain some type of complexity or humor that makes it tolerable to adults. All good cartoons usually have surprisingly deep characters and plots, anime should be no different.
yeah, it was pretty bad imho, after season one(?)
All the anime I've watched is very short. Code Geass was two seasons and so was Darker Than Black, but both probably have under 40 episodes each. Not sure how many Blood+ and Death Note have but I should get around to finishing those. Shortest one I saw was Elfen Lied which was 13 episodes (but 13 awesome episodes).
Death Note has 37 rps
Usually anything that gets hundreds of episodes is overly drawn out and is usually very corny. Just seeing some examples of super-lengthy anime most of them lack good plot or characters and is just ridiculous (not in a good way) fighting with little point.

D.gray-man was pretty good. I hate open endings though so people who don't like it either.. Well should watch it anyway but don't get mad. (130 episodes)

There's also Yu-Gi-Oh Gaiden as a second place (116 episodes)

Currently, the longest anime i have seen and still going is bleach. And then there was lots of dragon ball z when i was a kid, but i dont think that counts since i didn't watch every single episode in succession.

Sailor Moon, and its 200 episodes of glory is the longest anime i've seen.

I've also seen the series twice through.
