| A friend was relaying to me why they couldn't make it through certain shows and quote on quote "dropped" them. Such as Attack on Titan where the anime looks like dirt the entire way through because the color pallet is so exclusively brown AND my favorite "Am I suppose to take this cue ball motherfucker seriously" after episode 2 of One Punch Man. His taste is selective and tried out mainstream shit for the first time in his life. TL;DR Reason you dropped a show for no deep reason other than [blank]. Edit: A friend of mine relayed back to me how Bokuto from Haikyuu was a noodle in the anime versus how jacked he was in the manga. She dropped Season 2 immediatly. I couldn't not laugh. |

| I dropped 30% of the anime on my list because... I was just too lazy to continue it. |
Dropping shows is for n00bs. True anime fans can tough out any anime and finish it. True elitists will watch crap shows on purpose and finish them only to be able to talk trash about them.  |

| AoT: stupid-looking giants eating people. I immediately know this was not going to be for me. |
| Interesting thread I dropped bc the MC was shit. For me it would probably be dropping this because I didn't like Hakuya's voice. |

| I made it 2 minutes into Code Geass before the character designs (especially those fucking faces) forced me to shut it off in disgust. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| I only drop shows because: -They are boring (and I'm not bored easily) -They are annoying -They are offensive in some way or disgust me (usually only relevant to hentai) -I hate the characters and don't care about what's happening to them I don't really find any of those reasons petty to be honest. |

| Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! and Free! both had too many dudes showing too much skin and I didn't like it. Though I don't consider this one especially petty, at least not unless people start considering people disliking stuff for reasons relating to ecchi/fanservice petty as well. I think the supposed "fujobait" should fall under that same category. Drifters and Orange, I just hated the faces and the way they looked. It kept me out of it. Kemono Friends for the CGI. |

| Probably dropping Kill la Kill. Seemed like a poor excuse for fanservice, with a rather standard revenge plot. Everything was supposed to be over the top, the action, the character designs, the characters... but it just isn't the kind of show I can watch episodes after episodes of.

| Kimi ni Todoke Ep1. Fastest anime ever dropped. Why? Because the sh!thead female MC was doing a monologue about how awkward she feels when the awkward stick is one of the easiest thing to portray in a show not tell fashion. It's like the anime was belittling my intellect that it felt the need to spell things out for me. F*ck you, random Chinese cartoon. I'm smarter than you are, now and always. |

| if i dont like the characters' design, i dont even watch the show. ...... |

Like how much clothes were they suppose to wear at the pool exactly? That one is a special case because I watched it in a swap with a friend (we said he'd watch Haganai, my personal favorite series, and in return I would watch Free!, his favorite series) and thus we did. One episode each, and unsurprisingly a straight guy liked a Free! about as much as a gay guy liked a harem/ecchi, so we both dropped it either series after one episode and left it at that xP Honestly, otherwise I find it highly doubtful I would've watched it. But since my reason is "too much male skin being put on display" I felt it was worth a mention, even though I disagree with the notion that it's petty in of itself since the inverse, with female fanservice, isn't usually considered petty. |

I think the supposed "fujobait" should fall under that same category. In my case, I generally just avoid most of this stuff altogether, and just pass on it during the selection process when I read the plot and watch trailers because it's quite evident what they are, so it wouldn't even get to the dropping stage. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97" |
| I dropped Fukumenkei Noise because it has the music tag but I thought the MC's singing in ep 1 was shit :') (it also seemed like a pretty shit romance, but usually I'm happy to stick with shit romance :P) |

| I don't think I've dropped anything for petty reasons so far. The closest thing is probably Saekano, which I dropped because Tomoya was too annoying. I liked Kato and the other girls were okay, but Tomoya was often painful to watch. le_halfhand_easy said: Kimi ni Todoke Ep1. Fastest anime ever dropped. Why?

That was more showing how much Sawako overthinks everything and is overly self-conscious than it was belittling intellect. That aspect of the show dramatically decreases after a few episodes once she starts making some friends, but her naivety/innocence mostly remains for the rest of the first season. Haven't seen the second season yet though. |

| Well, I guess it can be seen as petty that I dropped Pokemon XY... I watched Black & White and then caught up with XY and started watching week to week on TV. One week, I overslept and missed the premiere. I got a little salty when I finally found a rerun and it was just like a Pokemon Pageant episode (One of the episodes I don't really care about) and just decided to stop watching. I could always go back, but I don't really care about Pokemon right now. So, whatever. |
