Question What the Longest running OP/ED?

I have seen some really really long Openings and Endings in my span of Anime watching. My point with this post, I guess is to see how little animation artist have to work to make a full 25 minute anime, or how they try to make a 7 episode season into 12.
I would love others response to what think is the most ridiculous amount of time used for openings and Endings.

I have never seen an ending as long as Samurai Girls.
Here are the totals for you from the latest episode of Samurai Girls.

Full Anime Time
24:45

Opening time Total Storyline Time 19:35
1:30

Ending Time
3:40

What the heck is with a 3:40 second ending? Granted it is an awesome song, but 30 seconds was dead time with lettering only.

Well, all the latest One Piece openings are 2 minutes and a half long, but to make up for that there is no ending. It kind of sucks, actually.

The longest OP that comes to mind would be: Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OVA2 OP 3min FULL
It's such an awesome OP too...I should really get around to watching SZS :(

the reason why the Samurai Girl ending long, its because you are watch the rip of the Anime Network stream on the anime. that version is giving credit to the american company that is doing the official translation of it.

Wanted to post this but you beat me to it :(
Best. OP. Ever.

Unfortunately the EDs aren't always that great, or long.

Slayers NEXT when dubbed has a pretty long ending because it takes an odd (and unpredicted from what I know) step of having 2 ending: A Japaneses credit list:
YouTube - Slayers next

Then an English credit roll to Give A Reason for Life.
