Well, I'm not sure if a similar topic has been made, but I have seen some topics that talk about if you don't like an anime do you still sit through it and watch it.

Well, my question is why? Why the hell would you waste precious time to watch a pieced of shit anime that you know is bad?

Sexy visuals and an awesome OST, that's what made me enjoy Guilty Crown.

If I start a story, I want to know how it ends. Otherwise there isn't much point to starting it in the first place.

If I quit watching an anime in the middle I will never know if it gets better or how the story ends. There are plenty of shows that have surprised me with something even if I hated the series when I started.

Besides watching anime doesn't take much time and I find something to enjoy in even a shitty anime most of the time. Occasionally I will intentionally watch a shitty anime because I find it helps me appreciate the good stuff more. No matter what the anime I don't really find watching it a burden especially because I can watch while doing other things.

I never understood that either,I never waste my time with a anime if I don't like it

Earning karma points - I suffer now in next life I can be like... nice roundly stone or tree growing in some nice spot (and not some ordinary stone)

PS.
I don't - everything I watch is good, bad things are dropped even in first episode.
Since I enjoy it than it's fine.

Because I'm patient and I like completing what I start.

I want to keep my dropped list empty

The sake of completion. Also, things aren't usually as bad as they look (some bad stuff turn okay).
And I choose carefully in the first place, so I avoid surprises.

Out of curiosity if it ever gets interesting after a few episodes.

Some shows I don't find interesting till like the 9th episode, but then I love them.
Idk what else.. OCD, sake of completion?

Only show I legitimately dropped was sayonara zetsubou sensei.. just didnt like the comedy style and didn't look like it was going anywhere

Depends of the anime.

sometimes i think it has potential to get better, sometimes i have really nothing better to do, sometimes i want to see how bad it ends (like ao no exorcist)

Boobiiiies! Just kidding I don't do it, I've done a few times in hope of improvement but regretted every second of it.

Used to be OCD of completion for me but don't have the patience or time to do that anymore. If I wanna get to the end (for something like School Days where you read about it alot) I just watch half the episodes at 1.5 or 2x speed in VLC lol...

I finish watching some shows for the sake of knowing what an average/bad anime is.
Otherwise, I won't be able to rate series fairly.

2x is hardcore. I find it too hard to decipher the audio. Plus everything starts to sound like mice.
I first planned to watch Inuyasha at 1.5x, but I'll probably end up watching at normal speed so I can enjoy it more.

Hmm because it might get better later on, but usually it doesn't :/

I only ever watch things that are recommended to me by people I trust, so I never really end up watching much bad stuff. When I do I'll generally try and finish it at least though. I don't like leaving things half finished. I only have 3 animes in my dropped list, and of those, 2 of them are long running shounen that I read the manga of.

I'm a masochist and enjoy the pain terri-bad series induce to my body and brain. It often times makes me appreciate the better series a little more than I naturally would have.

I tried to drop some of them, but I must finish everything I start.
