drill Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I usually try to give an an anime a chance by giving it three episodes, but if I can't even do that, I won't even both recording that I watched and dropped it. Most of the anime I have dropped has been while it was airing, and I probably found that waiting an entire week just waiting for an episode that I wouldn't enjoy was not worth it.

Yuuki_Radosian Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I am way to stubborn to drop an anime but I do admit t dropping 2 anime and those were steins gate , I eventually got into it and it was amazing and the second I don't even remember (which is the bane of my existence because it nags at me every day). I can't live with my self if I don't finish what I started plus I hate not giving an anime a chance to show its full story , there might be some good points in there that completely turn everything around for you. Though I do agree waiting for a week for an episode of an anime you just don't enjoy feels like waiting to be punched in the face by your least favorite person on earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seira Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Well... I used to pretty much never, but I figured it wasn't really worth it if after 5-8 episodes I was still bored among other things, especially when it's only 1 cour. I don't like the fact that I even leave some things after just 1 episode, but for the longer ones I find that okay since I usually don't take to them nearly as easily anyway. Sometimes it's only even the ending that annoys me so really I do finish most things... but well, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssjup81 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yep, but this goes for practically anything, not just anime stuff. I will stop a series for one of two reasons... I become bored of it... Something prevents me from reading/watching said thing and I just can't get back into it as the initial interest I had died... Bleach, Naruto, Detective Conan (anime), Pokemon Best Wishes, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, and Inuyasha are examples of series I just became bored with and dropped. With Detective Conan, even though I don't watch the show anymore, and haven't since like ep 600 or so, I still try to keep up with the movies and I still keep up its manga. Speaking of movies, I'm really looking forward to DC's movie this spring. Sonic X is a series that fit the latter. I watched seasons 1 and 2, but there weren't any Japanese original season 3 eps around...until recently and I went back to it last year after years of neglect.

EmperorQinmon Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I only really drop an Anime if I find it inappropriate or just plain messed up. I can't remember the last time that happened though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyePotatoes Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I usually give an anime a chance by the first 3 episodes. After watching the first 3 episodes and I still can't find any progress or excitement to the story line or in the characters, sorry Anime I gotta say bye to you. No Hard feelings.

Orius Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 All too often, yes. I don't have a specific episode-count of when I'd drop it. If I feel irritated to a certain degree, I could drop it as early as episode 1 or as late as the last few episodes (Kill la Kill at episode 21). I watch anime to have a good time, not to sit through something frustrating. I'm not an anime reviewer, I don't get paid to watch this. So the least I could get is an enjoyable time. If not, sayonara. Currently, my drop list is at 37 anime series. A handful of them are hentai titles with no merits in watching them, so no loss there. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I only watched anime that already have had the entire series or season released so I can watch them on my own time not worrying about waiting a week per episode. Also lets me get a heads up on what it will be like from my friends, who know what I like very well. So far, I have yet to drop a single anime.

Ryuji Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The only anime I've ever dropped was One Piece. I simply couldn't get into it after about 16 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Actually I take it back, I did drop Madoka Magica... but it was only by accident, the DVD case slipped out of my hand. ...yeah I'll show myself the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I can usually feel whether or not an anime has a vibe that matches what I'm looking for within the first few minutes of a series. I'll give the entirety of the first episode a chance, so I can get a feel for the pacing, presentation and overall atmosphere of the show, though if there's reason to believe it could change, that's taken into consideration, of course. I've yet to be wrong in my predictions/decisions about what I will/won't like. Every now and then I give things a full chance to the end even though my gut says it's a no-go, just because I can at least see some potential and sometimes feel bad for dropping things so easily.

Stormheart Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Rarely do I drop a series, but it does happen from time to time. The most recent would be PMMM and Cross Ange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optic Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The most recent would be PMMM and Cross Ange. I was going to give Cross Ange a go as I was quite fond of some of Sunrise's previous titles, e.g. Gundam SEED and Gundam Unicorn. What led you to drop it out of curiosity?

Nuh1000 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Nope, I hardly ever drop an anime, usually because I'm very picky when starting an anime. The only one I've dropped was Naruto bc I couldn't with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelme Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm really picky with my anime, so I rarely drop a series. But if I watch an anime, and the first episode was just really uninteresting, I drop it unconsciously:P. Basically, if I don't get hype about the next episode, it's an automatic drop.

Columbus Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I normally watch a few episodes before making a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakaath Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well, I watch any anime that has a nice story. But after watching a few, if I didn't like the anime, I drop it. But if my friends suggested the anime, then I mostly would force myself rather than dropping(If it's not too ecchi). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Bunny of Doom Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) I try not to drop anime unless they annoy me A LOT. So far I've only dropped 3: Highschool of the Dead (ep 3) cause I can't stand zombies, Vampire Knight (ep2) because I was reading the manga at the same time and it freaked me out completely at some point so I noped them both (nope -> I nope, You nope etc -> I noped, You noped etc), and Lance 'n' Masques (ep 6), one of the Fall 2015 anime I started watching which is the most hideous thing I've seen after Boku no Pico. I generally prefer to add anime to my 'on hold' list, expecially long ones, instead of dropping them completely, cause I'm really indecisive and I might pick them up again sometime (like Shugo Chara for example which I recently picked up after a year or so) Edited January 19, 2016 by Guest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaBD Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I drop anime all the time. When it comes to picking up a series I have a very open mind and try a lot of new anime for a couple of episodes. Only one thing has to catch my eye to give it a shot whether it be the art, plot, characters etc. So with giving so many shows a shot a lot of time I am dropping more anime then not.

KaylaAnnabelle Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I drop anime all the time. There's no point watching something I don't enjoy, although I do try to give it a few episodes. If it's a recommendation I'll try to suffer through so I can give a bit of a review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swirrl Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I haven't drooped too many anime, probably only 2. I prefer to put anime "on-hold" in case I ever decide to continue watching. An example of this is when I first watched Steins;Gate. I put it on-hold because of the slow start, but picked it up again a few months later. Good thing I did.

ThatCynicalSnob Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Dropped a whole bunch of anime. I think it's somewhere around 50ish. I add my drop list with my currently watching or on-hold because I always have a feeling that I would get back to it one day. But I usually never do.

KimmyKins83 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I don't usually drop that many animes after I've made a start on watching them, but I did decide to drop this season's Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut and Norn9: Norn+Nonet, as they were both proving to be just not my cup of tea in an appealing storyline at all, for the first time in many months, even in the past couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
