Because at that rate, we are set on watching it and have enough to say. It's a last line of defense for us to feel like we didn't just waste our time on a piece of shit. I've don't this myself so many times and I know that this is one reason, hence why I often feel a bit of despair when Itruly feel like dropping a series is my only course of action. If I didn't hate-watch Hand Shakers after I finished episode 1, I would've tortured myself for nothing, and same applies to say, Blazblue Alter Memory, Youjo Senki, and so many series I gave a 3 or lower to.

Fuck the typical tsundere! Especially those who try to beat up or kill the main character for accidentally peeping on them.

that's fair enough. It can be interesting to see why you dislike something, if you're willing to subject yourself to it haha

Yeah. After all, we need to know why we hate it (contrary to the belief of hooligans that say "don't like, don't watch") It's sort of a last bit of hope, lest I fall into the despair of wasted time...

Guess it's not my thing, then. I always think it could be interesting to watch something considered bad like I'm watching "The Room" or something. But then it's just, bad. 1-3 episode(s) are enough for me. I don't rate them though, because I do think that's unfair.

My (edited) definition: watching something for the sole purpose that you know you won't like it.

Basically the story is that I'm watching Yuu Yuu Hakusho right now, and in every episode, there's one dude who keeps posting in the ep threads about how dragged out the arcs are and how much he hates the battles n shiet.

I would ask him, but he's gone. Doesn't use mal anymore. After a look at his list I found a large portion of anime that was from like the 30s/40s and/ or had a mean rating of under 6.

Curious as to why some people do this.

Maybe it's like the train thing. You know it's gonna be a terrible mess, but you just want to see how bad it can go.

Though it's a strange way to waste your time for very long series.

Yeah, that's the weirdest part about it. I wonder if 32 hrs on a show you know you don't like is really worth it just to shit on it. I get it for a 12 episode series. I'd probably complete something I didn't like if it was short, and I had already seen over half of it out of curiosity, but damn, 112 episodes?

It is hard to shake off your hateful/bad anime moment from your memory, so instead of only being hurted and irritated, having knowledge and know how to bash that particular anime is away better.

The more flaw it get, the more happy I am. Watchin it' Trollers way

I don't always do that, I do it just for some particular anime. Not a Masochist here.

Do you mean why people (like me) never drop anime right?
I can't say that I agree with the "hatewatching" term, it's not like if I watch an anime from the first to the last episode and I give it less than a 5/10 I hate it, I just got bored watching it, or some characters annoyed me a lot.
I always finish whatever anime I start watching, to be proud of myself.

hmm.. maybe I should redefine it to mean going into a show knowing that you will hate it, and watching it because you know you will. No drop policies aren't exactly what I'm looking for, but not my thing either.

Oh, I get it now.
I have to agree with you on this one, I never started to watch any anime that I thought that I won't enjoy.
That's why I avoid anything that has the harem genre or kids anime, anything else is watchable for me.

Because they want to give it a 1/10.

I don't understand it either. I don't even like trying shows that I feel will be middle of the road for me. Guess people just want to rag on it? Granted if they have something critical to say rather than "I hate it" with 0 substance than I just assume they like wasting their time.

Wasting time is also an achievement in life, same as making a prank you know you'll get scolded for. Well as long as you don't regret anything, it's considered as a good experience.

Probably they want to know how it ends, their friends suggested them to keep on watching it and they have no choice, masochism, or the feeling that it could get better in the long run. The concept "If you started it, you should finish it." Since the wasted time needs to be accomplished, especially if you are like a completionist. If you really hate watching it, I suggest 2x speed it but it could ruin the experience depending on the viewer.

What is hatewatching? Watching an anime you'll most likely hate?

Well, sometimes it's best to give something that looks bad a chance just to see if you'll be proven wrong. First impressions can be turned around - for example, I thought Parasyte would be worthwhile.

Idk, I can't really understand the mindset but watching something entirely for the sake of shittalking it. It just seems entirely pointless to me, even by time-wasting standards.

I mean, on the principle of not telling other people how to enjoy what they watch then they do them I guess, but I care extremely little for applying that kind of approach myself and I'd rather just drop it and try to find something I'd like. At the core of it is still reveling in negativity with the express intent of reveling in negativity, as opposed to being disappointed in something or even ending up disliking something, it really is just watching something with the desire to dislike it and complain about it existing. Which seems redundant to me, but I'd rather take in what I perceive to be something idiotic and stand by the idea of letting people do what they want, rather than try to outright push against it since it'd just be refusing to take the "bad" in with the "good" for this kind of principle, so meh. I feel partially compelled to say that I think it's dumb, because I do, but I want to force myself to think "hey if that's how they enjoy it, then..." at the same time.

Point being that it isn't something I find particularly worthwhile in the slightest and I don't really care to understand it much. I find it stupid but if that's how other people get their kicks, then they do them I guess. So long as they don't expect me to treat their opinion as being of equal value as somebody who walks in with a more balanced approach, then we're squared away.

1. Why watch something I know I'm mostly like know I'm going to hate. Because someone had a compelling reason on why I should Anime X even if I would generally dislike.

Example - Prison School. I forgot the name of the YouTuber, but I saw a thumbnail of Prison School and how it fanservice done right. So I watch the video and was persuaded to watch Prison School and it was actually good.

Example: Kill la Kill. This mostly because my pals on Skype won't stop talking about when it was airing on TV. Once again I turn out to enjoy. Even when I tend to not be a fan of fanservice.

2. Just so people can't use the excuse "you haven't watched enough of X to talk about it" Then people just assume you must be a masochist,an idiot, or both.

3. Characters. Even if I hate most of anime. If there are characters in the show I like. I can watch the rest of the anime just to see them.

Criticizing an anime does not always mean he hates it. Maybe he's a critical person & interested in talking about the negatives more than the positives.
I know there are people who keep watching anime they hate, but the example you give does not indicate that at all.

When I watch something I know I won't like I'm usually trying to find ironic/comedic enjoyment from the show. It only works on short series cause no way I'm ironically watching a 100+ episode anime.
