| I've seen people with dropped lists that have anime that haven't even aired yet. Why? Do they already think that it'll be bad and that they will drop it? I don't get it. And why do some people add unreleased shows to their completed list? |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| If you saw somebody doing it why didn't you ask them? Those that add unreleased shows as completed probably already read the manga or are fanboy/haters of said anime. |

(real critics meaning people who are paid to be professional critics) Doesn't Digibro earn money with his youtube videos? That would make him a 'professional'. And he has like 800 dropped shows. I call bullshit on criticis never dropping things. Money might be enough of an incentive for them to finish some shows even if they hate them, especially if it's something popular that needs to be reviewed and promises a lot of clicks and/or money, but definitely not in every case. How many shows you dropped isn't indicative of anything. It's neither good nor a bad thing. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Same reason why some people give a show which is yet not aired 10. |

| They should add "plan to not watch list" For example i know that koi to uso is another harem when mc kun is forced to be in a relationship with a shitty tsundere so i can add it to this list |

They would be laughed out of their profession. But they might just decide that a show is not worth being reviewed if it means they have to stick with it. I doubt even professional reviews watch EVERYTHING just for the purpose of reviewing. There'll always be the shows or movies that he more or less has to review (because his boss wants him to or because of how popular they are) and then the shows they review out of interest. I'm sure critics who don't drop anything do exist, but I'm even more sure critics who do drop some stuff to exist too. It's not an issue as long as they don't attempt to write a holistic review of the show afterwards. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Didn't know it was thing, I don't do it. Anyhow, the only logical reason I could think of would be that maybe they had watched or tried to watch and dropped the first show in a franchise with direct sequels. If you didn't like the story and characters and the sequel continues the story with the same characters it's a safe bet to assume you're not going to like it either. |

As of this post: Boruto, (Favorites: 246 Completed:2 Dropped: 3) check. My Hero Academia S2 (Favorites: 187 Completed: 79 Dropped: 28), check. Shingeki no Kyojin S2 (Favorites: 1,363 Completed: 155 Dropped: 64), check. Berserk 2017 (Favorites: 42), check. (lol) Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai (Favorites: 53), check. (srsly) I think its a way to represent and communicate your hype level to others and its better than making 'who else is hyped for X' threads in AD |

Darek said: SuperRed said: Why do people ask "Why do people make "Why do people" threads Why do people ask "why do people make "why do people?" threads"? Because such a thread is kinda pointless and one can even consider it rude since it involves talking behind someone backs and being "passive aggresive" (for the lack of a better term) why not just ask them upfront why do tbey do what they do? Kind of a pretentious response you made there. Maybe op was just thinking about it a decided to make this thread on a whim. Its just a thread and maybe it is stupid or pointless but you can say that about most threads on this forum tbh. People like you are just being condescending as if youre trying to inflate youre ego. Also you kinda distract from a possible conversation. |

Darek said: GloryforKekistan said: I watch a lot of anime for cute girls, so I definetely do not care about some sort of sense of maturity, I don't think this thread is too stupid for me I didn't even mention that it was stupid, first of all my first reply was I guess you can call it a "joke" and the second was just me saying that it may be a little rude and he probably won't get a satisfying answer unless he asks a person who actually does that sort of stuff.Youre basically trying to make it it look like this thread is to stupid for you and you want to flaunt how mature you are for calling it out. Even if im wrong on that your post was more pointless and disruptive than the thread itself :/ Maybe i was being an ass (stressed out from moving). I just see so many people responding to threads just to say this thread is pointless or stupid even though like i said thats how the average mal thread is at this point. |

| They drop shows that way people make pointless topics like this one. |
 |
| personal feelings, it could be a sequel of a anime they really hated so they just block it off by dropping it to show their intense pre-determined hate for it |

| It's their list; what's it to you? I doubt if they marked it as "plan to watch" or "conpleted", it would change anything. |
Can I touch you? Please I love you. Let me touch you, I love you! Friend: How's school? Me: School gave me debt and my plant mold.  |
| They probably clicked it by mistake |
| To show their disinterest in the show and ward off any related recommendations. |
 |
| Maybe they just changed their mind about the show and dropping it is more convenient than deleting it completely. And some people might add unreleased shows to their completed list because they probably plan to watch it while it airs or binge watch when it finishes. Either way they're going to complete it eventually so why not? |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| From a "let's try to reason with them stand" since we can't control our suggestions, even the top brass literally tell us to just drop a show so it, or related shows, are removed From a "let's be real stand" they think it'll negatively impact the show in any way on a website the producers have never even heard about |
 |
| I think the more relevant question is why does MAL let people list shows that have yet to air? It would certainly be possible to exclude shows from eligibility until at least the first episode airs in Japan. So why doesn't MAL have such a rule built into the site's software? |

| That'd be because they're actually from the future, and dropped it there. |
| I've never met anyone who did that. My best guess is that they want it on their list so they don't come across it later and think it's something they've never seen/heard of but don't plan on watching it so don't want to put it in plan to watch. For the people that add them to their completed list my only thought is that they don't use the watching or plan to watch lists. |
