Fun RunSeason4Episode1/2Production Code4001/4002AirdateSeptember 27, 2007Length42 minutesWritten byGreg DanielsDirected byGreg DanielsEpisodes timeline Previous Next The Job Dunder Mifflin Infinity "Fun Run" is the first and second episode of the fourth season of The Office and the 54th and 55th episode overall. It was written and directed by Greg Daniels and aired on September 27, 2007, and was a two-part episode.
Michael insists that everyone in the office participate in the 5K, although few take it seriously. Stanley, Creed, and Oscar take a taxi to grab some beers, returning to the race just feet from the finish line. Jim and Pam mostly walk, hand-in-hand, stopping at an estate sale where Pam buys a lamp. Kevin is quickly drenched in sweat because he forgot to bring running clothes, while Andy suffers from extremely irritated nipples.
The title of longest running anime is a surprisingly difficult question to answer, if only because there have been so very many anime that have hundreds of episodes that it's not immediately obvious. As long-running favorites such as One Piece and Case Closed (also known as Detective Conan) sail past the thousand-episode mark, viewers marvel at the staying power of anime. These are series that have been on the air for longer than some of their viewers have been alive, racking up episode counts into the hundreds or even thousands, to the point where it would take weeks to marathon just one of them.
Hamtaro is a children's show about the eponymous hamster, Hamtaro, and the friends he makes as he lives his life as a pet. Unusual for an anime, it's based on a children's book series rather than a manga. Hamtaro's anime debuted in 2000 and ran until 2006, following 296 episodes starring Hamtaro and his Ham-Ham friends. Hamtaro is probably best known in the West from its run on Cartoon Network around that time, although it was aimed at a bit of a younger demographic than many of its fellow programs. Hamtaro was popular enough to also produce four movies and a number of video games, and Hamtaro lives on as a segment of the Japanese children's show Norisuta Hai!
Based on a manga created by Hiro Mashima, Fairy Tail is a long-running action/fantasy anime that focuses on Natsu Dragneel, a Dragon Slayer wizard who works for a guild known as Fairy Tail, who meets and teams up with a woman named Lucy Heartfilia. The Fairy Tail anime debuted in 2009 to wild success and went on to run until 2019, for a whopping 328 episodes total. The manga's follow-up, 100 Years Quest, is said to be receiving an adaptation soon as well, so this huge number of episodes will only get bigger before long.
Sgt. Frog, also known by its original title Keroro Gunso, was based on a manga by Mine Yoshizaki. The story follows a platoon of five frog-like aliens who are attempting to conquer Earth, but constantly fail due to their incompetent and lazy leader, the eponymous Sergeant Frog. While the manga was aimed at teens, the anime has a much younger demographic. Episodes are usually split into two roughly 15-minute segments, akin to many Western cartoons. The series ran from 2004 to 2011, airing an episode a week for that entire time period, making it impressively consistent, if nothing else.
Bleach is an anime following the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki, a newly reborn Soul Reaper who dedicates his life to defending the defenseless and easing the torment of lost souls. With his newfound powers, the fate of the world is in Ichigo's hands as he battles evil and saves innocent lives. Bleach began its long run in 2004, going on to air for the next eight years before coming to an epic conclusion in 2012. By the time the anime came to an end, it had aired 366 episodes, becoming one of the longest-running anime series of all time. The show's legacy still lives on to this day through its brand-new sequel series, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, which has aired an additional 26 episodes and counting.
Former swordsman Gintoki Sakata has left his life of bloodshed behind and now gets by doing odd jobs around Japan alongside straight-man samurai Shinpachi, outrageously powerful alien girl Kagura, and Kagura's giant dog Sadaharu. Together, they are the Yorozuya Gin. Gintama is set in a world where aliens were the primary cultural influence over Edo Period Japan, meaning that any ridiculous thing that could happen, will happen. These include a character turning into a gorilla after being bitten by one, a four-way swordfight over toilet paper, and one of the best beach episodes in anime, rounding out a 367-episode run over twelve years.
Kochikame: Tokyo Beat Cops is a comedic anime series following the exploits of Kankichi Ryotsu, a middle-aged cop in Tokyo, and his other friends on the police force and in the city. The series is based on a well-loved serial, which ran for several decades before the animated series ever hit television. Korchikame: Tokyo Beat Cops has a tremendous backlog of episodes for new and old fans alike, with eight years of content to sift through. Ultimately, the series came to an end in 2004 with 373 episodes in total but has continued to produce new content in the form of nine television specials, the most recent of which aired in 2016.
An absolute cornerstone in shounen anime, Dragon Ball is based on the long-running manga by Akira Toriyama, which in turn is based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West. It follows the life of Son Goku, one of the only survivors of the alien warrior race called Saiyans, from childhood to adulthood. Through the three series that directly adapt the manga and the anime-only Dragon Ball GT, Goku not only becomes stronger but gains friends and family as well. He fights through several tournaments and apocalyptic threats to the Earth. Since death is rarely permanent in this universe, stories often feature recurring Dragon Ball characters fans think should have stayed dead.
Even without counting the sequel series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which currently has 293 episodes, Naruto is one of the longest-running series of all time, with its second part, Naruto Shippuden, making up the bulk of its runtime. Naruto Uzumaki starts off as a lonely orphan with untapped potential and ends up majestically coming into his own as a great hero. Of course, some could say that Naruto cheats a little in this category: much of the episode count is built up by filler episodes. While Naruto: Shippuden's filler is often maligned, some arcs have produced some of Naruto's best villains.
Shima Shima Tora no Shimajiro is a must-see series for fans of the slice-of-life anime genre. The long-running anime series is directed at younger children, aiming to teach them important lessons about beginning school, making friends, listening to parents, and more. The series began its historic run in 1993, running for over 700 episodes over the span of fifteen years before coming to an end in 2008. This was, however, only the original series that came to an end, with successor series adding to the show's legacy, with a cumulative total of well over 1,000 episodes.
An all-time favorite worldwide, One Piece is based on one of the longest-running manga ever. It is a faithful adaptation with very little filler. Just before his execution, the world's most notorious pirate, Gol D. Roger, declared that he has hidden his ultimate treasure, the One Piece. Whoever completes the impossible quest and finds the treasure will become the new Pirate King. As Eiichiro Oda's manga is still ongoing with no signs of stopping yet, it may well overtake some currently longer anime in the near future. Time will only tell how far Luffy and the Straw Hats' story will have stretched when it finally ends.
Shinichi Kudo is a brilliant young detective, already assisting seasoned police on big cases with his lightning-fast analyses. However, with success comes enemies: two criminals attack Shinichi and force-feed him experimental poison. Instead of killing him, the poison turns him into a child, forcing him to adopt a new identity as he continues to try and solve crimes. It's a testament to the strength of the show's writing that viewers are still tuning into Shinichi's latest cases even as they number over one thousand. While a running thread is Shinichi's attempts to return to his old body, Case Closed is largely episodic.
Who says card games shouldn't be taken seriously? Yu-Gi-Oh! is a massive franchise that began in 1998, and hit the international stage big-time in the early 2000s. The original Yu-Gi-Oh! series ran for 224 episodes, but like Gundam, it rapidly grew into a monstrous franchise, made up of 11 different series at this point with more on the way. Like Pokémon, it has a well-established real-life card game that constantly manufactures new content to base new series on, meaning that so long as the card game remains popular, new Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series are likely to keep on coming.
