Lemonaded said: Yeah pretty much.I finish everything I start. Eventually. I usually finish anime pretty quickly after I start it--the reason I have for taking long on another is usually because said anime might be a bit boring. |
| i do this a lot it takes me ages to finish a series unless i get really interested in it. but most of the time it takes me months cuz i'll stop watching it after 5-6 eps ^.^ |
 |
| I do, I am going to try to stop finding new things and try to finish my list, but.... One Piece is amazing and has 475 episodes and I am not even near it. I might finish One Piece before finishing my list |
 |
| I used to finish every anime I watched....but lately if I even forget to watch the episode that airs that week or a completed anime that I started watching and dont watch it in a few days...I tend to just stop watching and never be in the mood to watch it even though I want to finish it sooner or later. |
| I wouldn't say it's a habit...I guess There are select number of anime that I will finish (for one reason or another) even if it's not up to my liking. And then there are anime that I start and if after 3 or 4 episodes it still doesn't capture my interest then I drop them. |
| I always do this I started watching clannad after story. I got to episode 9 or so. And after a few days of not watching it I'm like "zOMG!!1 high school of the dead OMGWTFBBQ". and I haven't watched after story since although I really should because it's apparently one of the best anime ever or so I heard. |
| I finish what I start. Sometime. Usually. Probably. Mostly not, actually. |
 |
| With ongoing series I sometimes dicide to let a few episodes go by so I can watch them in a bunch and forget about them for ages. |
 |
| If you are watching another anime when you already started one, this means danger. You probably didn't liked it. I always try finishing a serie in one day. It feels awkward but better than doing it in 2-3 months. |

| I'm quite guilty of this. My on hold list does not shrink - it grows. |
| Only when the anime is still airing and I might 4get about it for a few months haha |
| yeahhh that happens to me tooo. ): sometimes when im bored of an anime, i just find a new one to watch, and i forget about the one i was watching. |

| I've dropped more Animes than I've watched... reason is very simple... there are alot of crap Animes out there... that just fails to get mah attention. If I find several good Animes I tend to watch em all at once. Like for example, I watched Da Capo, Bokura Ga Ita, Shuffle! and School Rumble at the "same" time. |
| I do that, although I always pick them back up a while later. I'm in the process of finishing Nabari No Ou, which I started in January. |
| I have this policy where I finish everything that I start. But that changed ever since I saw Seitokai Yakuindomo. I just had to drop that shit. |

| Most of the time I usually just end up watching the first episode. |
GPU said: Lemonaded said: I finish everything I start. Eventually. You sir have 3 animes on hold ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ 9 years later and I stand by it. I'll get around to them eventually. |
| No, I start and finish 5-15 anime per season regularly with no trouble. If I am enjoying something I want to keep watching that one thing. I am like the black dog when I find a complete show I like, once I bite down I never let go. I'll just sit down all day and marathon it. I do occasionally put things on hold sometimes though, because I'm not that into it, an irregular release schedule such as OVAs, or I can't get a hold of the episodes but still want to finish it. |

| I do it all the time, although I usually finish them eventually for the most part. On my list everything besides completed contains anime I've dropped. Ive have Yakitate Japan on my watching list for 2 years but haven't watched an episode in over a year, Umineko is on dropped but I watched a few episodes last week etc. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood/lose appeal. |
 |
| Yep, same thing happens when I watched k-dramas. |

| Most shows that I start I finish unless it's a really shitty one that I have to force myself to watch. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| I finish everything unless I find it offensive in a way. nonsense story, annoying or passive characters, garbage art or animation. |

| I have the habit, since I get into the anime for a couple episodes and just put them on hold, but I plan on finishing them. |
| Me because I have a lot of shows I want to finish but now I have so little time to watch anime anymore due to working a lot |

| MAL and the listing feature kinda prevent that from happening. I do it a lot more with western TV series, where I probably only fish less than half of those that I start, maybe even less than a third of them, and most of them without ever deciding to drop them either, I just kinda discontinue them for no specific reason. But for anime the listing feature makes me more aware of what I started and I usually try to decide quickly whether I'll finish something or drop it. There isn't any 'Oh, right, I started this 6 months ago and forgot about it after one session'. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
evofox said: i used to do that to the point that i can not even remember half the stuff. i used to get distracted easily so would move on and forget about series. have stopped doing that now and am making a conscious effort to try and finish series i start rather then dropping/ putting them on hold indefinitely. Same here. I prefer doing it this way so much more. |
 |
| I'm not sure if I replied to this thread yet, but yes I have a habit of that. I'm trying to stop the habit so I can get anime finished, but I'm too used to it lol |
 |
| Always curious how random people find topics from 10 year ago to bring back. I would say I only finish about half of the shows I attempt each season. My dropped list is probably missing a digit. |
| No, I would never do that, come on! I have some anime that have been on hold since 2009/2010. |

| My past self I guess lol.. All of my on holds were before I had a MAL and was busy at school, so I couldn't finish em |
 |
| I do that all the time. My curiosity always leads me to start new shows before finishing the ones I'm currently watching, I'm always excited to discover new things, and that's how I ended with 19 shows on my Currently Watching list and 52 on hold. Some months ago, I actually became able to control my urge of starting new shows and had a very clean list as a result, but my demons have overtaken me once again... I'm so weak. |
