I've noticed that my drop list is much longer than others (41 dropped compared to 109 completed). Personally, I don't really feel the need to watch a show if it doesn't appeal to me. I feel I can discern "quality" pretty quick and I generally try not to drop shows I think are well made, but if I just can't get into it then why continue? If I really feel it's worth watching later then it goes on the "on hold" list.

I currently have 125 completed and 50 dropped.

I don't necessarily drop for "quality" reasons -- some stuff I threw into the Dropped pile because I don't expect myself to return to them anytime soon, even if it's stuff I enjoyed.

And it's not like "Dropped" is a permanent curse on a series anyway.

But I drop for a similar reason as you do -- if I feel a series is actively offending me then why should I bother continuing to watch it? Sometimes a premise or a ham-handed presentation style can get just that annoying and so I don't have any qualms about dropping it. My list exists first and foremost for my own convenience.

It's fine.Not all ppl can enjoy the shows they're watching,just treat it as normal.Watch your own favourite anime at your pace.

Life is empty without anime

you know you can´t be the only one, dude

dropping anime is really relieving. When I drop after 1 or 2 eps, I´m like "well, this is not for me". and when its after 3 or more it makes feel like "finally, i got rid of this sh*t". And I´m sure many people feel that way.

people keep watching anime to be completionists ? not thanks. not for me. I watch anime for myself, not to discuss it with strangers. nothing valuable about talking about anime that bores me to death.
