If you know that an anime is bad, will you give it a try?

If the premise intrigues me I'll give it a go. Especially if the fan base is big/active (interacting with other fans/fan works is a big part of enjoying a series to me). I don't necessarily trust ratings that much nor the opinions of my anime watching friends.

It depends on its argument , I don't judge things based on a friend's opinion or Mal , I just look at the arguments of the anime I'm interested in , and if I think it's good enough , I give it a try , for example , people were throwing shit to Re:zero but I thought it had a good argument , so I gave it a try , after 10 episodes I dropped it , it just wasn't for me .

It really depends. If it has hentai or ecchi then I'm out. If the plot is compelling and has great character development then yeah I would watch it. I will only drop a show if the plot isn't going anywhere. I also would check out the reviews and from what the majority thinks of it. If it gets bad rep then I would not watch it.

Yes, so I can lower my score rating and feel good about my shit taste.

For me, all anime is good, except the NTR (netorare) genre. It's a bad anime. Whether the story is good or not. Because, it's really mocking my feelings. I'm very weak against it. Lol
But if that anime made me curious, I would have followed it, even though I knew that the story didn't match my expectations.

But if there's a good anime, but bore me, I'll dropped it.

So basically, I'll keep following that bad anime (NTR) as long as it doesnt bore me. I'll stop following an anime if it bores me.

I will watch a Anime if I'm interested. I don't really care for the raitings or other opinions. My opinion can be way different than others.


I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate.

I purposely watched Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven knowing it would probably be bad
but I did it for the lolz and will not be doing that again.

Anything rated under a 6 i tend to stay away from although once i start a show it's highly unlikely that i drop it (even if it's shit) unless there are 100+ episodes that i'd have to watch which is why i think that people who drop anime after the first episode or so are pussies unless the anime is boku no pico.

There was a point in time where I'd only watch "bad" shows just to see how ridiculous they can be. Some were amusing. Some were just boring.

It depends, honestly. Perhaps. I'll check into it and do some research, check reviews and read about it a little, and if it catches my interest I may consider

UHM there is no such thing as a bad anime?? How DARE you insult any anime by assuming that just because it has a low rating it's bad???? That's both RACIST and HOMOPHOBIC and I will see you in court.

As long as the synopsis interests me, that's all I need. I try my best not to let others opinions and ratings dictate whether I watch something or not. Doesn't always work out that way, but I try :D

Honestly no, I always want to go into an anime at least believing ill enjoy it I always do some research beforehand and make sure its something that appeals to me hence my quite high ratings.

If I can no longer be bothered to continue watching I have no problems with dropping, however while im no 'completionist' id rather not drop anime so im always hesitant to start lower rated anime.

I have seen a few in the low 7's and enjoyed them but perhaps that's not low enough...

if it's really bad (as in, under a score of 4) then i'd probably watch a couple episodes just to laugh/cringe at them.

I won't know if it's bad if I watch it myself, what others say/ratings might influence to see if I give it a try, but in the end to fully know if it's bad I have to watch and confirm it by myself.

idk, i mean, i like to add completed animes to my list, so even if i hate it ill try my best to complete it in order to add it. although sometimes it can just be so bad i cant, thus another gets on my dropped list.

but i do try my best to avoid genres i dont like. like mecha or horror.

sometimes i do youtube amvs just to see how it looks like and see if theres anything that spikes an interest. it really helps. its a little spoiler but it allows you to really be able to judge whether youll like it or not imo.

I do base some decisions of what to watch on other's opinions on it, but sometimes I just like challenging myself to watch bad anime, like Pupa, School Days, or Naria Girls.

Even if helping people is easy,
asking for help is a hurdle of it's own.

I usually watch anime that look interesting to me without looking at other people's opinions first. But if i do happen to see another person's review or a mal score i will probably avoid it if its bad

So what standard is it that you're referring to when you mentioned bad?

I know an anime is bad if it's not LoGH, but I watch it anyway so I can give it a 1 with credibility.

Once in a blue moon, my expectations of a 1/10 will be exceeded by a few shows like Monster, Gankutsuou, and Ergo Proxy which I would generously give a 5.

Depends on the story.. if it catches my eyes maybe.. but most likely no. I used to watch everything but as I'm getting older I have less time to watch everything so I'll usually cherry pick a few or watch from friends recommendations.

Also anything below than 5.

Hell yeah, your opinion should be only influenced by you. How many times I've been told a certain anime is waste of time and it turned out to be pretty damn good.
