I've finished plenty of Anime that I wanted to drop, but I only finished them for my list.

Have you guys ever done the same?

I did have a number of shows that I didn't particularly enjoy but still finished. But those shows which appear unredeemable, I immediately drop.

I don’t really drop any shows, I think it’s more like a habit I’ve had for a long time.

No. I don't understand why you would keep watching something you hate for something as stupid as filling out a MAL list. If I don;t like something I drop it and watch something I do like.

If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased.

Sometimes I do it. But usually I watch series till the end if I like them.

I used to watch everything thru (regret watching all of School Days) but now I’m in the school of “drop it like a hot potato” if even just the first ep sucks

Nah, I'm happy to drop anime and forget anime I'm not enjoying. And I take the forget part very seriously, I won't even keep a dropped list.

If I can finished the first episode then I will watch the rest of the show and its sequel, prequel, ova, special, movie (if they exist, and usually I don't watch the recap apparently), but if I can't even finish the first episode then I'd delete it entirely from my MAL

Sometimes. But most of the time I just drop em. It's a waste of time honestly, I'd much rather fill my watch time with anime I actually enjoy.

I learned to drop shows even if there is only one episode left if I don't feel like continuing.

I do the seasonal anime challenges on Anime-Planet so yes. I've finished some really crappy series to finish the challenge with the highest score (8 per season. Usually there's only 6 I want to watch so there's usually at least two crappy series tossed in there a season).

no , I will drop right away if the show didn't fit my taste or it is so bad , even if it is right at the 1st ep . Sudoku to people who can sit through and watch through everything (unless u are a damn liar and that u are worse than those people who has made that show) .

Not at all, I can drop a show on the second last episode just because I don't feel like watching it anymore

I used to do that in the past but not anymore. Now I drop more than actually finishing a series.

I have watched some anime just because they are more popular and everyone seems to know about them like with Jujustsu kaisen and Dragon ball.

I watched so many bad ones and I haven't dropped any, so I guess that my answer is yes.

Lmao that feels like turning your "watch time" into the definition of a "waste of time"

Not for the sake of watch time, but there have been a few series I've watched where it was at about the 75% mark I knew I was down with the anime, but decided to stick out the last bit of the anime to see if it would manage to redeem itself. Also, if I'm thinking about writing on a review on it, then I prefer to actually finish the anime before doing so.

I haven't ever dropped an anime, but it wasn't for my list. I just wanted to give them a chance.

No, that is a nonsensical reason to finish an anime. I finish most everything I start just to give it a fair shot. You never know if the ending will make up for other faults along the way.
