I haven't watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes because it seems like all the fans of the series are on a high horse, it really turns me off of it... That, and the art is bloody ugly.

I also won't watch One Piece because of the art. I freaking HATE it.

I stopped watching Sacred Seven as soon as the Main girl glomped in Main Guy in the opening. I hate bratty, clingy girls.

Yikes. Of all the valid reasons to drop the series, that one's pretty wild.

Didn't the OP to Sacred Seven just show the main girl and guy reaching out and grabbing each others hand? THere's no hugging, jumping on, or "glomping" in the version of the OP I have. I can enjoy a laugh or two over a stupid reason to not watch a show but outright making up shit isn't funny.

There is a scene in the opening where she jumps out of the car to grab onto the guy's neck and hangs on there while he's driving the motorcycle...



At 0:46. It's there again at 1:16 as well.

I watched Higurashi because of Satoko. Someone showed me a clip of the scene where she gets beaten up in the classroom. Broke my heart it did.

I refuse to watch Hidamari Sketch because of Madoka Magica.
It's made by Studio Shaft.
With Ume Aoki's character designs. Wideface.
Kaori Mizuhashi voices Mami.
Yuno is said to be the basis for Madoka's character.

When I started again Shirou still sucked.


He did. But that's because it's made by Studio DEEN, 90% of what they make sucks. I heard good things about him in the Visual Novels

Artwork is quite a common problem, the whole CLAMP artstyle seems to be that way. tall(not for me), skinny, pretty faces, and bodies of noodles......

Understandable. If not for me watching them since I was little I would've never watched them. before that is Detective Conan(one of THE best animes ever still ongoing), Crayon Shin-Chan, and Doraemon, oh and Chibi maroko-san since I was 6

Watched Junjou Romantica (as a guy) just so then I can find a reason to either tolerate or hate yaoi. Dropped it after two episodes simply because it felt awkward, but I really like where the story was heading.

I sorta hesitate on anime sometimes because I hate to see people cry and I think the anime is going to have crying in it. Luckily, when I do, I just take pictures of it and draw on it... no worries.

awwww, i respect you a lot for trying it out! ^_^ well, if you liked it anyway why not just continue to watch? xD

hmmmm, oh yeah, i refuse to watch or read one piece because i don't find any character intersting or.. uh.. appealing?.. they're all boring as heck (and yes, i did watched some episodes when it was still airing on TV when i was younger..)

'overrated' is a term you dont get to use until you watch it.

but i agree with never watching it because it looks old and shit and everyone thinks it was made by god himself.

I refused to watch Wolf's Rain because it was popular (it was when I watched it). That was a stupid reason to not watch it, I learned my lesson.

I watched Lucky Star and Code Geass because they were popular, even worse, tried to do so with Kon and Reborn, that was stupid and I didn't learn my lesson.

Up until last year, my anime viewing choices would mainly be based on who was in the cast. It didn't matter if the animation looked like crap or if the director's previous works were trash. As long as I heard the golden voices of my favorite seiyuu, the show would have been a must-watch for me. Examples of shows that did this to me included Vampire Knight, Kurozuka, and Natsume Yuujinchou. One of these was actually good.

I stopped watching Queen's Blade five minutes into it because the fact that Melona shot acid out of her boobs scared me and made me not want to progress any further for that reason alone. 0_0 I only started because Kanae Ito and Rie Kugimiya were in it, two of my favorite seiyuus.

overatted is a term that should never be used under any circumstance, even after watching a show

"Dumbest" reason for me would be "quality fandom". The anime might be shitty, but the fandom, god, the fandom..

Likewise, if the fandom is awful I might be forced into not wanting to watch the anime.

Refused to watch: Mnemosyne. The OP is so painful to listen to that it made my ears bleed. I plan to try it again one of these days...

Watched: Higurashi. I was expecting it to be straight up torture all day erryday. Like, really disgusting shit that would test the limits of my stomach. Fortunately, it was something far better than that. I've since seen Salo. oh my fucking god that movie

I stopped reading Toriko because I found out that it's a Gay-Shonen.

Nothing against gays, just watching the bond between a body builder and a child grow stronger through adventures in a world without vaginas doesn't hold interest to me.

I haven't yet watched Black Lagoon because it's too manly/badass/GAR, and doesn't appear to contain any moe, tsunderes, ecchi, lolis, pantyshots, or other "otaku" elements. And people I know IRL who like Black Lagoon hate anime with those elements.

I can't stand the art either, I'm more and more frustrated because every month it reaches better critics XD I just can't watch such a ridiculous designs.

I dropped Naruto Shippuden because of the fillers. GOD DAMN YOU STUDIO PIERROT!!!
