| I got the no drop rule and the 1 anime only rule So my experience with this particular anime(Beatless) was soo torturous that it took me two week to finish it . So yeah as someone who don't have this kind of rule how much would you endure? |
| "Rating are for Casul" "While masterpiece are for Pleb" "But shit taste is enlightenment" "Go watch School Days you Weebs" |
| if the show has a waifu it's enough for me to finish it. I hated Revisions but pink hair chick was hot |

| If I don't find it interesting after a few episodes I feel like dropping it but most of the time I get attached to the character(s) and it gets way harder to drop. Sometimes I watched the whole series only cuz of a character I like even though the story was not that good. A few cases where I endured just to finish something I started I just don't like leaving things incomplete tbh. |
 I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
| None, I try to finish everything even if its painful to watch. The only case would be if there's no source to watch it on, so I'd watch as much as I could and just drop it. I guess the exception would be with 100+ eps anime - I'd stop if I felt like it was hopeless and there was no way for any kind of improvement. |
 |
| If it's seasonal anime, then I'll drop after episode 3 if I don't enjoy it. If it's a completed anime, then I'll drop whenever I feel like it, but I'm most likely to finish it. |
| When i feel one 23 minute episode felt like an hour or i start checking my phone while watching it, is when i usually say maybe this anime isnt it but i do try to strugle through 3 episodes at least..but sometimes an anime takes a little time to build up it's story so if it has a large reputation i just force the episodes in xD |
 |
| I drop some anime after 10min, some take me to 5 episodes and some to 2 episodes. it depends on the show itself and my mood too. |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| 3 episodes is the most I'm willing to give chance to anime before dropping it |
| i check to see if there would be any characters I like if I feel like dropping it, most of the time there are so I sit through the episodes hoping it gets betterr |

| I dropped Deadman wonderland after the first 5 minutes. |
| I want to relax, heal, fill up my batteries and consequently I don't want to torture myself with something that doesn't have any saving grace. My number one rule is "try to avoid buring out by watching things you enjoy". There is no something like a three episodes rule for me, I am capable of dropping an anime even after a few minutes. |
 |
| I just try to watch a show completely so then I don't have to finish it later because it's just easier to watch a show completely than drop and then watch it later. |

rometrache said: i will try very, very hard bc i dont want to drop anymore anime, it bothers me. so nearly everything in my on hold is what i want to drop but ive just been putting it off for a year because its so boring Same, I once put Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity on hold for 3 years because it was the first anime the made me feel like dropping it but didn't |
 |
| I'm the kind of person that hates dropping shows, so I wouldn't do it except the show has 24+ eps. If the show has many seasons then I just watch one and take the rest out of my ptw. |
 |
| I will follow 5 episodes if the show is medium or long, But if its short and i've already watched 5 episodes but the series is just so bad then instead of dropping i'll finish it with 2x,3x or 4x speed, this method is so much effective when watching very bad anime from seasonal chart. (btw I mostly doesn't drop any anime) |

| I usually prefer not to drop stuff, but I will if I feel like I won't get any enjoyment out of it, or if the potential enjoyment I'll get isn't worth the investment of time I'm putting into it. |
| When I come to the conclusion that the bit of potential and enjoyment isn't worth it anymore. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I usually watch 4 episodes because that's how lightovel adaptations are built, and that's most anime these days. the 4th ep is the climax and end of the first arc, it gives you a good idea how the show will go from then on. the fastest I dropped something was hand shakers. the director was retarded. it was less than 2 minutes. so there was a huge fight going on with spinning camera, tons of weird effects, with the credits rolling on top, and the guy having some stupid monologue. it was sensory overload. the scene ended and it cut to some everyday life situation in japan where people in suits were walking around with NOTHING going on. they could've easily put the monologue under that scene, and have the worthless credits roll while nothing happened. but no. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| Sometimes 1 minute, Sometimes 1 episode sometimes 2-3 eps |
 |
| I try to endure as much as I can. 10 minutes, or even 13 episodes, etc. |
| I would always finish something no matter what unless its something like one piece, the only show I've 'dropped' is To-Love-Ru where I finished the first season. but wasn't motivated enough to continue |
 |
| I usually watch them all the way through and the ones I have dropped, I quit watching during the first episode. |
| I never drop. No matter how much of a torture an anime is to watch, I watch it, I complete it. |
 |
knead_som_dough said: holy shit you weren't joking lool almost as many dropped as watchedI have no patience whatsoever, so if nothing catches my attention in the first minutes I skip withing the episode until something does or I start looking for something else |
Unostentatious said: I got the no drop rule and the 1 anime only rule So my experience with this particular anime(Beatless) was soo torturous that it took me two week to finish it . So yeah as someone who don't have this kind of rule how much would you endure? untill i fall asleep lol lololololololo |
 |
| I usually don't drop shows but the ones I have dropped were usually around the episode 90 mark |
 IT'S NEVER OGRE |
| I've dropped multiple shows within 20 seconds of starting episode one, so yeah. My tolerance level is non-existent. |
| I have pretty low tolerance for enduring trash entertainment media. So, probably around 5 episodes maximum. I could force myself to watch it til the end, but why would I even bother? Anime consumption is supposed to be enjoyable, after all. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Usually around the halfway mark I think to myself "Do I care enough to keep going?" |
| The moment I feel like a show is a chore I'll drop it. I watch anime to enjoy it; its not a skill in a mmorpg.... |
| Two weeks to finish a show, that's not so bad. I had trouble finishing Code Geass S2 recently, I started it in June & only finished it a couple of weeks ago. I tend to know fairly quickly if I'm going to drop a show, eg dropped Tokyo Ghoul & Black Butler after a couple of episodes. I made it thorough 14 eps of Ouran High School Host Club before dropping it. I don't endure very long at all, if I don't enjoy a show then I stop watching. If I know I'll like a show I may put with a bad episode or two whilst waiting for it to improve (eg the first couple of eps of Girls Bravo S2 were pretty poor when I was watching it yday, but I pushed through and the rest was fun), but no more than that. |

| I dont drop, if I really hate it ill just force myself to watch an episode when im really tired or doing something else and/or it will just take me a long time to finish it |
 |
| Three episodes, one episode, five minutes... it depends. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| I try to avoid dropping shows... but if I’m not enjoying myself, then I’m not going to waste my time watching something I don’t like. I learned that the hard way when I first started watching anime. It took me up until the introduction of Sting in Fairy Tail to finally decide to drop the show. He’s super hot, but it didn’t feel worth it, lmao. |

| I hate dropping shows in general, just makes me feel really uncomfortable. BUT, I do drop shows at rare times if the show is so bad and dull that I won't be able to watch it with my friends, or it's too long and underwhelming that spending days on it would never be worth it, even if I'm up to date and can talk about it with others since I love talking about all kinds of anime (even bad seasonals too) with my friends. |
| If I'm bored for more than 3 episodes in a row it go bye bye, if I'm not enjoying myself, why suffer? |
