| Like seriously, I see a TON of MAL users that don't even drop a long anime they hate at all, they just go and watch til the very end and then proceed to give it a bad score, like @Karhu and @Lockensocke for example, they watched the entirety of Gintama and Hunter X Hunter respectively but still gave them 1s anyways, and even if some MAL users actually do drop long anime they hate, they still watched a ton of it, like @mkzxwing for example, he dropped One Piece but he still watched 625 episodes of it anyways, so can someone tell me why these people never even seem to drop long anime they hate at all, especially really long ones like Gintama and One Piece? |
 It's hard to win an argument against smart people, but impossible to win an argument against dumb ones. |
| You can't justify scoring a long anime poorly unless you have seen most of it, so you know it deserves it. |

| Dropping anime is for cowards. Finish what you start. Rating something without watching it all is a bad way to go about it. Etc. |
| I don't like dropping shows because I want to know what I will talk about |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| i get what u mean that it's kinda weird that they watched something they hated for so long in one piece's case, tho, it could definitely be because of the shitty pacing, and they eventually got sick of it and called it quits. i've seen ppl who have done that |

Rating something without watching it all is a bad way to go about it. Etc. There are better uses of your time than asking people on an internet forum how they waste theirs, but here we are. People don't always act logically when it comes to their free time. Yeah, it's probably a waste, but that sense of completionism, and the ability to have a full criticism of a show and not just part of it, is worth that tradeoff for some people. Watching bad things can be relaxing and cathartic in its own right as well. |
| -Some people have stupid no drop policy. -Some other who don't, also can enjoy a series up to certain point before they finally got sick of it. -Some other just have nothing else to do with their free time. |

AniMarter said: I'm sorry, but how can watching bad stuff be relaxing? And who cares about having reasons for liking or disliking a show? All that matters is your own personal enjoyment on something, not trying to look like one of those critics that only watch anime for the whole entire purpose of rating them "objectively". That's exactly why me asking this stuff isn't a waste of time, at least, for me, anyways. I actually feel pretty good now that I got some answers on the question that I got, even if they're answers that I didn't really want to see.SmashBlack said: Once again, why would you do that?

| It's because they have nothing to do bruh |
| This assumes quality is consistent throughout the entire anime/manga. AOT is the perfect example of this. People said it was good until 131 or around that, and fell off from there to the point in which it deserved very low scores. With anime as you have stated, they could have come into the anime, was told by the anime this is what you get, and further down the line, it deteriorates from the original point. Also, this is the same argument people use for "oh but, if you don't like an anime, don't watch it or just drop it from ep 1". Some people don't mind watching a low-quality anime, for many reasons: completionist, the need to understand why anime can be bad, nothing better to do, warn others X anime is bad. List goes on. |
Hrybami said: because they think that unless it's a professional job or any worthy thing, then you may watch a long anime which you hate because you ain't gonna give a high time of your life to hated stuff and become unstable. In simple words, back to back doing hate consuming for 100s of episodes.I don't understand those who criticize what people are doing. |
| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
| Because some people are completionists, and probably also perfectionists. There was a time where I tried to complete everything I tried to watch so my On-Hold and Dropped will stay at zero entries, even though I didn't enjoy most of the shows I watched that much. Yes, it's a waste of time and it's dumb as fuck (I know full well), but seeing my Completed and Watching list with even numbers + On-Hold, Dropped, and PTW with zero entries was worth it for me. I stopped because I too felt like I wasted too much time on bad shows, but there are probably some people who had a similar mindset. Also, there's no need to judge what people spend their time with LMAO -- it's their time after all. Edit: People who watch a long-ass show to completion might just want to have a complete, coherent thought about the whole thing to review it or to prove to others why it's bad -- and if they think that's worth their time, then to each their own. A good example: MAL hides preliminary reviews by default, so if they wanted to review a long-ass show to let the public know how bad it is, they'll have no choice but to complete the thing. If everyone drops long-running shows the moment they decided they don't like it, we'll only have 7-10 reviews on those shows, which I don't think is a good thing. |

| It's simple. They don't rate based on enjoyment. They might have realised some flaws in the anime. If I had rated everything based on enjoyment, then I would have had a lot of 9s and 10s.I would still say that my rating is a bit biased. |
Slimsith said: I dropped One Piece after 130 episodes. Aikatsu! at 6 episodes. Naruto after 63 eps. and finally Naruto: Shippuuden after 30 episodes. Out of all of them, Aikatsu! is the worst of them all. The rest I'll probably pick up again, but no time soon. I haven't rated them either, because I feel that anything dropped, should speak for itself, but it depends. How can you watch Shippuden without OG Naruto? Lmao. You've got way too much free time. |

| Personally, if i watch a few epsidoes of something, i try to finish it. Even if i don't like it, i like to finish it so it can say i finished it and move on. |

Yeah I thought I was like that until I watched "Aikatsu!". That series is like a brainwash kind of deal. Teletubbies might be the Acid/LSD, but Aikatsu! is ghetto crack. F that. As an Aikatsu! fan, I couldn't be any more confused as to what you mean by this. I really need help with that Teletubbies analogy especially xD |

| I watched 300ish episodes of Gintama even if I stopped liking it at some point because 1 episode per day didn't hurt much. Binging it would have been impossible. |
 |
| Some people love hate-watching, although I don't think those people consider those anime boring, they might dislike aspects of the anime because no sane person would sit through an anime if it's not entertaining at all which leads to the question, why would they rate something a 1 if it's not boring? My answer to that is they're full-fledged contrarians. There's also another crowd that follows herd mentality and succumbs to peer pressure to lower ratings. |

| forgot to add me, watched 1000 one piece episodes, saw all the movies and specials but I don't like it (to be fair, east blue saga was a masterpiece) |
    |
| I do get your point, because why would you continue watching something for so long if you actually dislike it. But I also believe that it's difficult to judge an entire long series without actually dedicating yourself to it. How can you judge an entire work and grade it if you haven't even seen half of it? I think in order to give a fair and plausible rating, you should have seen the whole thing. Because if you don't watch the whole thing and drop it and THEN rate it a 1 or 2, that doesn't seem very reasonable, does it? Also, in times of internet debates about anime and people growing extremely confident online, I would like to think that people are afraid of judging animes without watching the entire thing as they don't want die-hard fans to attack them for no reason. |

| And the question why are you butthurt by others ratings? This dude also targeted me one time for some petty reasons. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| Smash SmashBlack Black for judging people on how they spent their ti me. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Agreed. Doing something you don't like for dozends of hours, so you can justify not liking it in front of strangers on the internet. It seems like helluva stupid thing to do. |
| I don't get it either lol if something was boring id just stop watching. But they're free to do whatever they want. I personally wouldn't watching something I didn't like in my free time |

| Well, after watching about a quarter of the first season of Fairy Tail and thinking it was super boring and awful, I was told that it gets better later on and that my opinion was invalid since I only watched a quarter of it. Out of pure spite, I continued to watch every episode and even the movies only to confirm my suspicions that yes, it is still awful. "It gets better later on," is about my most hated statement so to avoid ever hearing it, I don't drop shows. I watch shows that I think are awful to the very end so I can explain to anyone who asks why I think it's so bad, but this is just my reason. |
