| ❶ Shows that contain too much of a squick factor; i.e recently watched Grisaia no Kajitsu & I thought the story was okay, but kept thinking ② Pretentious over-monologuing; i.e. The Beheading Cycle when I’m sure I can think of more, but that’s what I have for now. (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵) |

ShadowMonkey said: Inconsistent visuals. If your characters are off model the moment they aren't up close to the camera, and your CG is painfully obvious, I'm gonna read the source material, I'm sorry. Also, stuff that people believe are good alternatives to old shows cuz old shows are "dated", while in reality their redditcore garbage is brainless, surface appealing crap that sucks on turd logs ("DarliFra is better than Eva, Eureka Seven, and Gurren Lagann", "Bunny Girl Senpai is better than Haruhi and Monogatari") Out of these shows the ones I watched are quite different from each other so maybe people like variants of a very basic narrative trope that differ enough to stand alone and be individually enjoyable. Nobody fucking cares about how similar Bunny Girl is to Haruhi beyond tracing stylistic influences that are everywhere in any genre of anime. More often than not it's made up speech to make some people feel better about their level of expertise, as if watching any of these older shows was any sort of countercultural revolution. |

| Really? I'm usually out if by the third episode I don't at least see some loli, incest, tentacle or trap being teased. What can I say? I'm nothing if not a man of culture. |
 It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate". — Bertrand Russell |

Well good for you that anime with loli, incest, tentacle or trap seems to be in high demand ;D You can find plenty of those to last a decade XP |

| garbage pedo/lolis cringey yuri/yaoi outside of comedic situations, idc for this shit forced dialogue not exactly a red flag for anime specifically but when fans project their thoughts onto the source material where nothing supports it being true and it's all in their head, that's more of a forum thing not really anime thing |
| A world full of only girls, even if they mention some man, they usually don't even show the face of the man, that's a lost for me that only the opening can save. Also cliches in the first episode or a bad animation in the first three episodes like Hyakuren no Haouo to Seiyaku no Valkyria. And for the last harems with no sense. And I don't like gore animes or lolis raped/killed brutally and things like that. This is not a RED flag at all, but if the show tries to go for something serious like music, sports or something and suddenly turns into a romantic story goes directly to the trash. NTR (hentai or not) and excessive fanservice. |

| As for Anime can't really think of any..usually Anime I only drop when it's boring. There are some things I hate.. but if overall is still great. I still end up finishing that specific Anime. (I.E "Kuzu No Honkai" ... that Anime pissed me off on so many levels.. but overall it was still pretty good). But with hentai I can tell easily. Hentai with cheating/NTR/mindbreak etc.. In a style I don't like.. will just to insta droplist as they rather disgust me. |

| There aren't many things I'd say would be a turn-off for me, but if there's a recurring cyberpunk/mecha theme, chances are I'm either gonna avoid it or not enjoy it as much as I would if it simply weren't there. A few other things that generally put me off are: -Overly sexualising minors (especially if it's for copious amounts of time, or if it's a major plot point) -Trashy production values (includes G O D A W F U L CG) -Way too many poorly-done cliches -Too much flashing imagery (looking at you Evangelion) -Love triangles (dumb way to drag out unnecessary drama 99% of the time) This doesn't necessarily mean I won't watch something if one/multiple of these are prevalent, however if it gets annoying I'll probably drop it. |

kawaiiiiiiiii said: I'm surprised you liked Ergo Proxy then, since that show has an extremely slow pace, especially in the 2nd half.- Slow pacing --> It bores me to death and puts me to sleep (e.g. Monster, Mushishi) |

| Sibling/Parent incest, misplaced fanservice, and pedo relations. All of these will probably make me not want to watch at all. |
| Every anime with bad CGI or a normal isekai plot. |
| Sometimes comedic moments feel incredibly forced (in some romance and action shows) and it's just the worst. |
Yuri-Crusader said: If a male do something aggressive against my waifus i sometimes drop the anime "Shin Koihime†Musou" , That one is good example,,, A male touch my girl and he survived!!!!!!???? , That is not ok,,,, Dropped 1/10 in score as a result of its own stupidity!! The females in the anime belongs to me!!!! If the anime is stupid enough to mess with them its going to be hell for it to pay . And no heterosexuality its also forbidden in my anime That's my red flags!!! My girls shall remain pure and unharmed and no male shall EVER touch them!!!!! They are not there to be fucking mess with!!!! They are there to kiss each other!!! And for me to go,,, """Awwwwww my lesbians are so cute"" ,,,, All the other shit pisses me off ,,,Only accepted waifu on waifu ,,,,Males and heterosexuality is kind of gross in anime if you ask me,,,, And therefor my biggest red flags  Hey what anime is that picture from? |
| My anime red flag is a red flag. characterlimithurdurhurdur |
| If we're talking about just for the first episode, I'd say bad writing, lack of a tangible narrative hook or reason to care about the characters, generic presentation, generic MC, shock value added in for the sake of shock value etc. |
| Something which is too ecchi when the anime hardly started. |
 |
| if there is a shounen tag, chances are i will avoid it |

| Over the top tsundere characters, bland male MC and poor animation/art-style or cgi are the prominent reasons for me to be put off or drop an anime. |
