I don't drop anime because I'm a completionist/perfectionist/whatever you want to call it.

I also don't drop because I wanna give anime a fair chance. There's always a chance it redeems itself later on and I might end up regretting dropping it.

anime no not really. At worst I'd just put it on hold and conveniently forget I was ever watching it















manga, fuck yeah. I feel it's more of a commitment to read something compared to watch something and I cba with some series'

Yes, I drop anime or manga when I feel bored of it / hate it / don't feel any enjoyment of it whatsoever. It saves my time :)

Yes, I do. My time on this earth is limited and precious, I cannot waste it on something I don't like.

If an anime or manga does not entertain/interest me, I am dropping it.

Yes, if it's not too drawn-out I'll try to stick with it but the majority of the time I just can't force myself to continue something I don't enjoy.

Only a few and believe me that's not a diss or anything, it's often stuff that's really pretty good.

For instance I am still trying to slug through Ganbare Goemon (which has basically the same plot every episode, but it's totally rad), and I've long since dropped Black Butler. Black Butler is a total gateway into manservant awesomeness though so I should probably go back to it.

I rarely drop anime. I used the 3 episodes rule and if I didn't like it, I don't bother adding that anime to my list.

I try not to, ngl, but sometimes the circumstances make it so that I don't wanna waste my time on a completely uninteresting show that brings absolutely nothing to my life except lowkey (or highkey) disgust.

nonetheless, my dropped list is mostly bad shows that aired at bad times (for me). bad shows at good times are going to be completed and rated accordingly!!

Yes, with the amount of trash out there I'd go insane if I didn't.

And the opinions of anime fans aren't reliable, so I often have to test something for myself to see if it's good or not.

Yes. Mainly manga that I rated 5 or lower, and that I don't want to read further.
Now that I'm more picky in what to watch, my dropped anime list will not grow larger.

Pls don't write animeS or mangaS >.< // + <50 man(g/hw/hu)a not in MAL. // Join my >manga club< here!

I watch and read everything till conclusion I read only a single panel of, of course, just as everyone else.

Frankness be, I have this in my signature for little other reason than that I'm reading it, and that it's not in the M.A.L. database, thereby establishing proof that I liked it when it was still underground.

I drop anime only when they become very unbearable and make me furious which is not so often. Sometimes I also drop the ones for which I have very little hope, simply because of not having time to watch.

Only manga in my list that I ever dropped is RAG. There are a few that I read for over 50 chapters before dropping and never added them to the list.

For some reason I just can't bring myself to drop a show once I've started it, which is not great when you get locked into a mediocre show that lasts hundreds of episodes. It's why I generally research shows before I decide to start them that way for the most part I only get locked into shows that I'm confident I'll probably enjoy.

I give it 3 or 4 episodes before I decide whether or not to drop. I don't like to list my dropped titles here though because I feel like it clutters up my list.

Anime: Only one if I remember correctly, but I forgot its title, so my dropped list is empty.
Manga: Yes, for some of them I don't read to the end.
