I totally marathoned an entire 24 episode anime in 24 hours

I totally watched through the entirety of Strike Witches in 24 hours, great anime, I liked the second season more than the first a bit, though, and season 2 episode 6 had an adorable montage that you have to see for yourself (AKA I cannot find a video of the specific scene on YouTube), but anyways, watch that anime.
 
So you're probably going to yell at me "ANIME IS FOR JERKS" or "LOLOLOL WHY ISN'T THIS A BLOG POEST", but there is an inherent point to this thread, here is my question. Have you ever marathoned an anime in a day? How quickly have you finished an anime series? Has anyone here ever watched through an entire 26 episode anime in 24 hours? I really want to do that some day. 
 
Oh, please no spam.

I don't have that kind of endurance for ANYTHING, so I salute you (but no I think my longest was 3 hours maybe)

I think Trigun was mine.  

" I think Trigun was mine.   "

Were the episodes one hour long? If not...then...that's not really a big deal.
 
I've done 26 in 14 hours. Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei and Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei back to back.

So what. I watched Monster for about a few days straight and its about 70 episodes... its really nothing special

I'm more of a "take your time and enjoy yourself" kind of guy.  I rarely do marathons of any kind.  I have the free time for now, but I don't think I usually have that much time to spend on that.  For me, I think it'd just be a question of having something I was willing and able to watch in a marathon like that.  I'd be hard pressed to come up with such a series, though.

Back in about 1999 I marathoned Evangelion, Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion.  I had just graduated and got some buddies together to watch it in one sitting.  This was way back when to get fansubs, you had to send a blank tape to the subber and he sent it to you.

I saw Elfen Lied in one sitting, but that was only 13 episodes that were 25 minutes long.

Dude, I can't marathon anything. I had difficulty watching ONE of the extended edition Lord of the Rings movies, and I freaking LOVE those movies.

No, I definitely do not have the time to do that. I've kept myself focused on just one show instead of others for a couple of days, but not in one sitting. Last year I watched all 5 seasons of lost to get ready for the final season. that was probably the most recent one.

I take my time with watching anime like I started watching K-on season 1 last year and I'm barely at episode six.
:\

Tried this with Code Geass R2 but uni assignments really killed the roll I had going. 5 episodes left and still very much hooked.

Did this with Nyan Koi, that's 12 just episodes but still.
 
I spread them out over months usually.

I watched all 12 episodes of Onegai Teacher in one sitting. Probably because it was so sexually frustrating that I had to see the next episode until he finally freaking KISSED her. Anyways, it's a good show if anyone hasn't heard of it. Never heard of Strike Witches (I usually watch anime based on recommendations from friends) so I'm downloading it now.

Have you heard of Onegai Teacher though? People might say it's lame (and I agree about a lot of it) but I dunno, there were a lot of points that I thought it was pretty good. 

How long are the episodes though?

" How long are the episodes though? "

no anime marathons here, but i watched the entirety of this korean show (126 eps, usually about 22 mins long) in about a week and a half

Oh... psshhh. 
 
That's 600 minutes total. I watched an entire season of Hell's Kitchen @16 episodes for 45 mins each in 13 hours. 720 minutes of a British dude being a prick.

I've had my fair share of anime marathons, not all were a day but were finished within the week.  I'll check out strike witches, any others you recommend I'm all out of ideas of what to watch next I've been watching a lot.  

I plan on doing this with a friend within the next couple of weeks.  
Were thinking about burning through Black Lagoon. 
 
I've burned through quite a few anime within 24 hours. Gantz and Elfen Lied being a couple of them. But I've found that its better to divvy up the episodes into like sets of 5 a day. That way you're still able to savor the show, and get through it relatively fast. 
 
Plus, if I marathoned through all of Clannad, my emotions would be so effed up. I don't know what I would have done with myself.

I could do that but it'd have to be Evangelion or some shit, something that was worth a whole day's loss.

Hmm.

I watched the entirety of Love Hina in roughly a week. I watched Shuffle! but I can't really remember any of it or the time frame. But I think the fastest I've finished a series was with Black Lagoon in about two or three days. Sky Girls (same animator who does Strike Witches, but I haven't seen SW) was a few days too. But yeah, I think Black Lagoon is the fastest I've watched one (24 episodes if I recall correctly). Oh wait, two more contenders that I just remembered: Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga. I finished both those pretty fast; the first is awesome, the second kills braincells in an awesome way, but, again, I think Black Lagoon is still the fastest (and one of my favorites, I still re-watch it a lot).

Which reminds me, Season 3 of Black Lagoon is being made. Sweet.

Thats not that hard. And you could done about 3 episodes an hour.

Can't marathon that stuff.

I used to be able to watch a ton of episodes in a row in one night, but I can't do that as much anymore.  The most I usually watch in a marathon session is around 6-8.

This is probably a stupid question, but have you ever seen Cowboy Bebop? If not, DO THAT NOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU. "

I can't get myself to watch more than 2 or 3 episodes in a day, if at all.

By no means a day but I gunned through Legend of Galactic Heroes over a long weekend.

Sounds interesting, what's it about? "

" @EliasT: ok you have a point o ya and i went through the first 300 epsiodes of one piece in 4 days. "

I still have yet to subject myself to the EVA Challenge.  All 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion back-to-back.  From Zero to Total Mindfuck within less than a day.
