| Basically what the topic title says. At what point would you stop watching a series or refuse to watch a series based on certain elements that not only question your morals, but also just flat out make you feel uncomfortable? For me, it would be extreme, extreme violence, such as guts spilling out, limbs being chopped off, organs being ripped out, etc. I would also not watch anything that shows someone deriving sexual pleasure from extreme mutilation and abuse, such as guro or ryona (girl getting beat up). I'm also not a fan of parent-child incest. I'm all for open-mindedness and creativity, and I'm certainly not against people who create/enjoy anime with those above themes, but I personally just cannot sit through them. I kind of envy people who can, though, you must either have a very high tolerance for graphic themes or are just kind of morally ambiguous. (In a good way?) :D So...where would you draw the line? |

| Wont watch Hentai with lots of rape or if it has a gross fetish like scat or pissing >.> Everything else is fair game for me to try. I love watching stuff most people couldnt manage xD |
| any obvious hentai of any kind, I suppose. i read To-Love-Ru Darkness for a time, and that's really borderline. no yaoi for me, either. |
     |
| Probably hentai, though I don't mind nudity. xD |
 |
| I don't. |
 |
| Oh look. People will draw the line at hentai. That's like saying you'll watch all kinds of movies but not pornos. Obvious answer is obvious. |
 |
| Any hentai with anything non-female-human involved. |
| Instead of focusing on extremities and morals, I ignore everything under a 7 on MAL. I think I've kept with that statement for a while now, at least 2 years and counting. Other than that, there's really nothing else I actively try to ignore. I do have a common dislike in romantic comedies that have a shitty main and harem, but there are often other redeeming qualities in exceptions that I do get the chance to watch. I guess one other thing I ignore is just about everything that have more than 100 episodes no matter how good they are (looking at you Gintama & One Piece). They are probably animes I know I'd like a lot if I do watch it, but I just don't like the concept of never-ending shows. |

| Pretty much Yaoi only for me...other than that, anything goes! |

| The line between shounen ai and yaoi. I'm fine with just about any other hentai sub-genre other than guro/scat. Certain cgi'd Animes as well. |
| Sexism. When an anime strikes me as straight up sexist, I drop it. No questions asked. |
| I wont watch if the art is bad against my tastes usually out of being really old. Yet this rule is flexible if its really good so thats why i didnt mention it before, i can make exceptions for it. |

I think I've kept with that statement for a while now, at least 2 years and counting. that bad way to go cause the fact that alot of anime that are adted over 8.00 are bad while theres alot og anime rated under 7.0 cause oif laxck of a proper weighted score Second, opinions. My tastes follow the aggregates more often than not. You, quite obviously, don't. So let's leave it at that. Beedlebud said: Eh, I know a friend that exactly does this. He refuse to watch Gurren Lagann even though he likes the mecha series overall. Sexism. When an anime strikes me as straight up sexist, I drop it. No questions asked. |
onepieceforever said: I really dont understand why nudity would bother someone unless they are watching with their parentsWell for me... Definitely do not want to watch anime that show everything(nudity), animes that have no plot or meaning, and i dont especially dislike magical girl animes but I dont really watch them. Oh i probably wont watch an anime if it has no japanese voices and is only dubbed. Other than that anything goes haha.... |
| Yaoi makes me uncomfortable :/, gender bender is fine though :D anything that's made for younger audiences mahou shoujos overly ecchi anime |
 |
| Hentai, rape. Everything else is free f*ckin' game. Extreme violence is the sh*t. |

My opinion is my own, of course, but isn't it rather close-minded of you to automatically omit anime below a certain rating? I personally couldn't let others decide for me, what's good and what isn't. Beedlebud said: Sexism. When an anime strikes me as straight up sexist, I drop it. No questions asked. What do you mean by "sexist" exactly? Do you mean that you don't like when people of the opposite sex are treated differently? If so, that means that you're okay with anime involving females getting punched in the face/beat up as if they were men, right?? Cause I mean, that would be equal treatment regarding voilence.. |

What I mean is, anime that treats genders negatively. For example, I never read Bakuman when I read this. I've seen fanservice being coupled as sexism, but no. I don't think it is (but I'm biased XD). Only stuff like "Oh hey she can cook, she'd make a good wife" really grinds my gears in anime. |
| i ignore the grey area on mal, meaning I watch everything above 7.80, and watch everything below a four. Sorry, but some are so bad, they need to be watched. |
| I won't watch for sure: yaoi & hentai. There's also some that I mostly don't watch unless they really look good in other aspects: harem or any other overly-ecchi/fanservice anime. As for the rest, if the story/characters seem interesting enough, they'll get me to watch it :3. Other stuff doesn't really matter, as I don't care for gore, violence, dismemberment, mahou shoujos, etc ^^. |

I don't really see a problem with this, as long as it's nothing really important. Which, anime viewing, isn't. I once thought like that too, and kinda still do.. Next time you feel bored, check out Gintama. Skip the fillers, watch just the arcs if you will, they're worth it. http://www.yorozuyasoul.com/general/arcs.php Those longer series might seem like a blatant waste of time, but some are really worth it. Don't want to come off as a complete fantard here, but in my honest opinion Gintama has some of the best comedy you will find in anime, with some great action. |
The Internet is a very bad place, you should never go there. |
| I have actually seen several random episodes of Gintama already (courtesy of my friends when we hang out), though I enjoy watching more with them than by myself. I like that site though, it certainly limits down Gintama's large number into sizable chunks. Was hoping someone would provide me with such a thing than searching it blindly myself. *thumbs up |
My opinion is my own, of course, but isn't it rather close-minded of you to automatically omit anime below a certain rating? There's no ifs and or buts about it, the answer is yes. It takes time to sort through anime for genres, casts, plots, and stuff that interests you. Adding on a mandatory rating just increases time spent trying to find something to watch and because ratings are just subjective a higher score the difference between a 7 and a 6.8 is unnoticeable unless you watch and rate it yourself. |

Though most of them are really good, the comedy is what makes this series exceptional. Thought I should point that out too ;) |

Just by posting on MAL on a daily basis, I have noticed quite a number of animes I'd watch, and a simple rejection does not at all increase time-consumption. This is only assuming one is actively trying to find new things by holding every criteria in mind and is in dire need to watch another anime (which would be a slow and tedious process with a poor net result.) |
| Tachii, you really need to find a decent forumboard.. I mean, the time consumption and quality in your posts doesn't fit MAL's shitty atmosphere.. :O |
The Internet is a very bad place, you should never go there. |
| Adding a criteria to a search increase the time spent searching for something that matches all criteria. Whatever process you use to find anime to watch or how often you look doesn't change the basic way searching for something works. |
|
| characters who are stubborn, arrogant, stupid, cocky, ignorant. Example; Ichigo, Orihime, Naruto, Rin & all that good stuff... |
| While it may be true that the basic way of searching increases time consumption by adding a new criteria, there are other factors for me at work which minimizes this fact to be pretty much negligible in terms of time-consumption as a whole. I have already mentioned some of this but it's pleasantly ignored or irrelevant in what you have to say, so I won't bother to continue on this subject. |
| I always give everything a chance before I reject it no matter what, but then when something gets out of hand bad or weird I then firmly draw the line |
| no gay stuff. bible black status is fine because thats actually pretty hot. *cough* no boring stuff. no hentai too gross like pissing/poop fetish. if i seriously get annoyed of the drawings/plot/character, then no. really bad voice actors dub or sub. only has happened once in sub where a girl main sounded like a straight dude and i was like haaaaale nah. |
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner.

| Hentai with a lot of rape and females with a penis. Also incest and the ones with older men messing with under-aged girls. |

LeFake said: I don't. Respect should be given as that is pretty ballzy.... |
| Not Found (aka 404) You're looking for something that does not, has not, will not, or must not exist ... ... but you're always welcome to search for it. |
| Stuff dealing with high schools and high schoolers and otherwise sterile anime. |
| I usually don't draw a line as long as I have fun. |
| pussy / useless main characters fetish / tentacle hentai yaio/yuri anything with so much fanservice that it makes me feel ashamed with myself to even watch it (bouncing boobs, upskirt camera angles etc) |
Beedlebud said: I've seen fanservice being coupled as sexism, but no. I don't think it is (but I'm biased XD). Only stuff like "Oh hey she can cook, she'd make a good wife" really grinds my gears in anime. I think people are a bit oversensitive about stuff like this. Being good at cooking is a positive trait. I wish I was a better cook. Of course I know that in reality most women are terrible cooks, but anime has no obligation to always portray female characters as inept. |
hentai_proxy said: I understand your point, but I think you are missing out on good stories just because you dislike that particular element. For example, the series Hikaru no Go (art by Obata, by some strange coincidence....) is much more blatantly sexist than Bakuman and I disliked that aspect thoroughly, but it still is one of the best anime I have ever seen (edit: /manga I have ever read). Interesting....can you point out where exactly you've seen this? Because I own the first four volumes of the manga and I don't recall any of that. |
| If I already decided to watch the anime, I will usually pull through until the end. The only anime that I dropped outright was Naruto and that was because there was no end in sight to the fillers and I was following the manga anyways. I also dropped Deadman wonderland, but I do plan to start watching that again someday. But if the anime has main characters that are too ugly, I will usually refuse to start it. It seems like a really stupid reason, but decent looking characters are very important to me. They don't have to be awesome looking characters, just bearable. |
