Personally not a fan of overly flashy and superbly high quality first episodes. For one, it comes across as just showing off, and it also means the rest of the show, aside from the finale, is going to be much lower in quality because the budgeting for that first one was ridiculous. If you're going to introduce me to your show, give me something I can expect to see consistently, not show me something amazing that I won't get to see anymore of until the last couple of episodes.

This is the primary reason why I nearly immediately dropped Ergo Proxy. That first episode was all flash and no substance, and I lost interest incredibly fast. Might try and watch it again, though.

Haha that's quite interesting, I was actually worried about a show called Shingeki no Bahamut because of this same reason but it turns (so far at least) they are keeping the quality through the entire run.

You probably won't enjoy the dragonball series because in one of the scenes you see goku's dick when he is a baby.

10-) When the anime/manga uses too much Pokemon Arcs. Going to nowhere places->Helping unknow characters->Beating the badguys->Making a party->Going to an other nowhere place->...
Like in many Shounens.

9-) When the badguys, even the most badass one, do nothing when goodguys use last-breath attacks.
Like Lucci-Eneru from One Piece, Shyn Sheron from Dragon Ball GT.

8-) When Katanas are the Absolute Weapons, where anyone holding this blade become a sword-master in 2 months.

7-) When powers/skills/magics are become too godlike.
Like many shounens again and many Mechas like TTGL.

6-) When the plot is "Highschool vs Fantasy" crap.

5-) When Fanservice (erotic or bloody) takes too much place.
Like To Love Ru, Highschool of Dead,etc...

4-) When It has an abuse of "Power of Friendship" or "Mankind is the Greatest Race of Creation"
Like Fairy Tail, Dragon Quest: Dai Quest,...

3-) When It has a (mostly male) Big-Head jerk hero or/and a (mostly female) Psychotic bitch/ Samurai Schoolgirl
Like Kamina, Zekka, Dark Scheinnder, most of Akama ga kill female characters, Yuno from Mirai Nikki,ect..

2-) When the charac design is always the same "pretty thin teenage emo/loli characters with odd clothing and horrible hair"
Like Sword Art Online, Blazblue, Tales of and Shining franchises, nearly every Nomura Tetsuya works...

And the biggest turn-off for me in an anime/manga is....

1-) When It has a teenage character ganbanking huge badass monsters by itself like nothing...
Because:
-I always fell sorry for those creatures who are just here to be raped...
-I'm sure I'll find nearly all others points above...
Like Blood-C, Fairy Tail, Crimsom graves, Sword Art Online etc...

I think I can resume all of those by one: when the anime/manga is going to be over-the-top.

What do you mean, it took at least 15000 episodes for Goku to turn into super saiyan, and another 15000 for Gohan to turn into super saiyan 2.

A guide to living with that one guys ugly signature on MAL.

1. See that SullyNathan has posted last in thread, abort thread.
2. After clicking quick reply, close eyes and type out reply.
3. Try to scroll as far down as possible before replying if you prefer to keep your eyes open.
4. Report said signature for being offensive to the eyes.
5. See he is active in thread, scroll through thread while trying not to have eyes burned, sigh, click back & lose interest.
6. Move to another part of MAL forums where he does not visit.

Don't tell me animes/mangas MUST be a brainless escapim for teenage public!
It's like saying they must be like Micheal Bay Transformers movies.

Plus, that doesn't mean It has not some exceptions.
For example, I don't like fanservice abuse or over-gory moments but I love Monster Musume and Berserk.

Censoring if the gore was supposed to be one of the main themes. Lately I've also really started to dislike the moe character designs like for example in Sora no Method where the characters' heads are fucking huge.

God bless Kiseijuu. It has no censorship and the character designs are fabulous

For ecchi anime bad type of censoring and ugly characters and way too busty chicks.
For other anime if I don't like the way the characters look.

Me too actually when I was 14 or something. But I did not fall over her, I just pushed on her chest while forgeting that she really was a girl. After that she ironicly called me a perv for over week later, Its true!

Well, when it comes to my opinion about turn-offs....Maybe Harem series, yaoi, annoying lolis, too much clitche and rip-off themes
