I watch the first episode then i decide if i wanna drop it or not. Lately there are some anime that are hyped so much but ended up being disappointing. So yeah this is happening pretty often now, i mean i can't seem to find anything at the moment that'll make me wanna pull an all nighter. But there are some unexpected ones like "To your eternity." I casually started it but the peace in this anime made me watch two seasons in two days!

I picked rarely, but I never actually watch something I am certain I will not enjoy.

There are some shows I think I won't like, but I watch it hoping that I am wrong and I actually like it - usually these are shows within my favorite genres, but have a few things that makes me think I won't like it. So I am not certain I won't enjoy it, but usually I do end up not liking it after all and drop the show.

Other than that, I watched a few shows I know will be bad but I expect to enjoy it even if not in a way it intended to be. Things like Ex Arm that are so bad it's funny.

bruh, I obviously meant both at the same time.


my apologies

APolygons2 said:
again, I agree, but why does have to be both bad and boring/unenjoyable?

wouldn't a mindless fun trash show be better for this than a show that is just bad in a boring way?


It depends on what you define as "bad" and "boring/unenjoyable".

For me, bad does not equal boring all the time, however, a boring anime is always bad.

This is just me tho, just my perspective.

none of these are "good", but they are entertaining

I agree with these 3 anime. They are bad but hold some entertainment value.

APolygons2 said:
why watch a bad show that you don't enjoy, when watching a bad show that you do enjoy has all the benefits and none of the downfalls.

I mean, you cannot always be certain which bad show will entertain you or not. I agree that there are shows that are bad but can be entertaining, like the ones you mentioned, but there shows that are bad and not entertaining, like Angels of Death. You just gamble I guess

I think you for got the title of your thread:

ow often do you pick an anime you're certain is bad and won't enjoy?


You're right, you can't always be certain. but your thread specifically says if you were certain.

and you're right bad does not equal boring, but your thread specifically said a bad show that you won't enjoy.



Otherwise I agree

I used to try bad shows to try to expand my taste and appreciate good shows more, but now I just find it stupid. There are so many actually good shows out there and I don't have much time anyway so its just a waste.
