Love Live

I heard good things about it from somewhere and decided to watch it without checking what it was. Thirty seconds in i realized it was an idol anime. I dropped it and never looked back lol

My fastest drop was on my head as a child.
In terms of anime though probably most of the anime on my drop list I haven't actually watched. I went through a phase where I just 'planned to watch' every anime but I got annoyed so I cleared my PTW list so that only the shows I actually intended to watch remained.
From shows I've watched probably
Arifureta: The manga was high/mid tier but the anime pacing and animation are awful
Tower of God: I heard great things about it but the animation was mid and the mc seems to be the type to asspull everything.
Mousou Dairinrin: I was spoiled literally about halfway through the first episode so I dropped it lol.

I have yet to drop an anime in my life. I have Blue Exorcist listed as dropped, but that's because I saw a bit of it a long time ago and sorta forgot about it. It's actually more of a "plan to watch" entry (has been since September 2019 lol).

Nearly dropped Hellsing Ultimate after realizing how long the episodes were. Fortunately, I continued and actually found it to be pretty nice.

It'd probably be Happy Sugar Life. As soon as she said she was in love with some 7 year old and it showed missing posters of her I wasn't comfortable with it at all.

Entirely doubtful based on your demeanour, and you've just further contradicted your third point from earlier.


the point is, it's not about how "long" it'll take to read the synopsis, simply that I enjoy watching the show immediately instead. and bruv, I just finished Way of Kings for the 4th time, that's 1200 pages, so how about next time when someone says they don't like reading synopses, summaries or subtitles you don't just assume it's because they're illiterate, and instead wonder why they might feel that way

I knew this anime was ecchi, but I still saw 2 chapters and my eyes were bleeding. I wasn't expecting much from this anime, but even with little hope it let me down.

Carole & Tuesday. I knew it will a be a western-pandering tranny shit after watching 10 minutes of 1st episode and I was right (but no, seriously, Watanabe + Netflix = disaster to square). Absolutely disgusting.

Yeah I understand where you’re coming from, there’s a lot of love for that show but I’d take the 8.9 over the 8.4 and cgi is just god awful

Ah yes the freshly bad Tantei Wa Mou Shindeiru and Rent A Girlfriend. Those two are a record holder for being so ridiculously boring and painful that i can't stand 2 episodes in, but everyone else seems to enjoyed

There's a lot of other one episode only that i drop, but it's mostly that lower anime on the seasonal charts that i stumbled while looking for the so called "Hidden Gem". In short not worth to mention

Arifureta for sure. I just couldn't watch it without closing my eyes every 2 minutes, and it probably is the most generic isekai first episode ive seen so far.

Code Geass. Sometime into the first episode when Lelouch orders an enemy squad to kill themselves in a super edgy way. This scene alone already told me that there weren't going to be any real stakes and that MC either always has his eye powers to free himself of any trouble or the episodes will consist of reasons why he isn't able to use his powers in that particular case. And being told that the whole series furthermore has a Light vs L mechanic - but very much worse in every way - just confirmed my decision. I know it's rather beloved in anime circles, but from this first episode and other clips I've seen here and there the show really doesn't seem like something I'd have a good time with.

You're again contradicting your own earlier claims, and not assuring anyone of the literacy you claim to have.

💀 okay bro, well clearly you're the illiterate one cause I have clearly laid out how I feel multiple times, and you just can't seem to comprehend it for some reason

here's some synopsis that spoil themselves, which contradicts one of your points




basically, what I mean by "felt like homework" is that when I was younger, I loved reading the books assigned in class for the most part. But on the one or two days that I forgot to read the next chapter, I would have to quickly look up a synopsis or summary and study it really well. The synopses were never as well written as the actual books, and it just felt like such a shame to have the plot spelled out by something so inelegant. As such, I have a general disdain for any type of summary or synopsis as I would much rather just watch the plot how it was intended, going in blind. I remember going in blind to both Angel Beats and Re:Zero, and let me tell you, 10/10 moments right there.

Training With Hinako. I was expecting something so-bad-it's-good, but it was just so, so boring IMO. Dropped three minutes into episode 1.

A WHILE back, around when these shows first came out, I didn't have the patience I have now for the Anime medium, so I dropped them after only 1 episode.

-Ah my buddha (Episode 1 or 2)
-Actually I am... (Episode 1)

Honorary/Dishonorary Mention
-Date a Live II (Episode 3)



I'll probably find time to watch them some time from now

I'll set aside the rest of what you've said because of how egregious your error is here.

None of these spoil anything about their respective shows. You are making the ridiculous assumption that having any piece of information whatsoever is automatically a detriment to the show in question, when this is not the case. You gain nothing from not knowing Subaru is Isekaied, from being unaware that Koito has recently committed suicide. These are instigating elements, not the actual plots they bring about. (Well, plot is a strong word, particularly for the last of the three, but that's besides the point).

You could extend your logic to say that knowing how many episodes the show has spoils it, since you know when roughly the storyline will be resolved, or that seeing any image of the show poster spoils the appearance of the characters. Even typing the title of the show into the search bar would ruin it for you. You cannot hold the view that synopses spoil shows without additionally claiming everything does, which is a self-evidently absurd idea.
Well I for one already loved Lain.
