| I used to. I even forced myself to finish "K". But Asterisk War was just too much. I couldnt go on and dropped it. |
 |
| I try to watch at least 1/4 of a series before dropping unless the runtime is over 50ish episodes. I almost dropped Cross Game after 5 or 6 episodes, but I'm sure glad I didn't, because it is now one of my favorites. I don't think of anything on my dropped list as "permanently dropped" though. Who knows? You may wake up one day and be curious about a series months or even years after you drop it and want to watch another episode. Sure, watching another episode may just remind you of how much you detested the damn thing. But you might just surprise yourself and...finish it! For better or for worse. |
tenltd said: I want to better understand the people who stick to their guns and never drop anime, because I'm the exact opposite. I have no problems whatsoever dropping a show after the first episode - sometimes earlier - if I didn't have something to latch onto. If you never drop shows, what are your reasons? If you hate a show from the beginning, how do you not just turn it off and go watch something else? Yes, but it's mostly because I'm not the type to be able to drop it and if I do drop one someday it would take me really much effort just doing it :3 The anime needs care even the unwanted ones or their will be forgotten left alone to their fate -w- |

| Long and proud no-dropper here!! Still after watching more than 150 animes and didn't drop anything because I dislike to don't finish something that I started! |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Not really a no-drop policy I just haven't found anything so bad that I literally can't finish it. |
| I don't. Not dropping anime is the key to winning an argument online |
 |
| Same ol' same ol' Necroposting thread Just look at my achievements DUH?.. Trying to Nitpick about utter crap advice tsk tsk tsk, Seems kinda blunt. |

| Not having watched too many anime means i haven't drop anything, except for one, i just can't like it no matter what. (HandShaker) I essentially only watched what i like, then if midway there is anime that got good reviews, i try it, but almost all of them please me. So i normally dont drop shows |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |
| DISCLAIMER: I have 18 drops, but that was from a few years prior to getting MAL, and I have no desire to get back to them. Also, I only added shows to the drop list if I watched 3+ episodes of it. That means I just don't include a show if I made it 1-2 episodes in. Besides that, I guess I do have a "no drop" rule to an extent, but I'm just really selective with what I watch to ensure that I like something enough to keep going with it. I don't want to "flood" my drop list with anything other than what's already there, so even if I'm not really feeling something I already started, I make an effort to power through it |
| Nope, I will generally drop anything that I find boring, unlikable, or stuff that I just lose interest in completing. I'm very selective when it comes to picking what to watch, so I generally don't drop stuff very often. |

| Early in my anime watching life, I started Infinite Stratos. It was ok. I was then told to watch the second season. w o r s t d e c i s i o n i m m e d i a t e d r o p a f t e r f a n s e r v i c e |
 |
| i dont drop much, i only put them on-hold... id like to finish a series as much as possible. but i remember when i watched 3 different anime i didn't continue watching them but i didn't drop them either. i just deleted them from my list LOL |
 |
| i used to, but not anymore lol. i still have ton of stuff on my on-hold list that i should probs drop |
 |
| No, I don't have a "no drop" policy, I don't like forcing myself to watch something, if a show isn't good then I will drop it. I don't drop a lot of shows tho because I'm careful with what I choose to watch. |
| I used to have, but Ranma 1/2 broke me |
Erebus25 said: I used to have, but Ranma 1/2 broke me I dropped Ranma 1/2 too! The first Anime I ever dropped was "Maison Ikkoku." I also dropped "Urusei Yatsura." Rumiko Takahashi sucks. |
 |
| I used to. But not anymore. Not after suffering my way through Alexander Senki. I still try not to though. |
  |
| Nope. What do you to with trash? You drop it in the trashcan |
 |
| Aside from D.Gray-man which I intentionally dropped, everything else just kinda happened either because the show stopped airing on TV for whatever reason, I stopped trying to watch it on TV, and a few got soft dropped when I stopped using streaming sites and torrents. |
 |
| Not gonna lie when I first started watching anime I had this stupid idea of riding out all anime till the end, I regret the time I have wasted when looking at my list all the time. |
| Like most people, I do not drop anime, I simply leave it on my backburner for years till I think, "Hey, I should really finish it", but never do. Damn, I have a great deal to add to my list. Just realized School Rumble was not on there. |

| Yes, yes I do. My No Drop Policy is actually the third rule in my 3 Rules of Anime Watching (see my profile). I'm usually careful in what I want to watch and in which order. So depending on the quality I may not watch some anime at all or place it On-Hold for another time until I see it as worth of my time (which can take months to years depending on my mood). To determine dropability, I take into account the MAL scores and the MAL reviews & their scores. From there, I average out the scores then give them a rating from GOOD* to bad (Must Watch to Drop). |

| I feel really, really sorry for that strict no-drop-policy dude who starts watching something like One Piece and discovers in episode 5 that is absolutely hating the show. Good luck with that! The world has more than enough martyrs for anime to give us more |
| i don't have this policy, but i usually enjoy shows enough to watch them to the end about 80% of the time. Though this would be different for some of you guys, i've only seen 70 anime. That means I still haven't seen a lot of what's considered good, so I usually stick with that. |
Big breast are full of dreams, but small breast are full of hope. |
| I dropped the Nodame Cantabile sequels because they weren't dubbed. I probably won't watch Mushishi S2 because there isn't a dub. ;_; |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I used to force myself to finish shows but now I think that was dumb. These days I drop most shows I start watching. My patience is very bad, I've even started watching shows at 1.5x speed and if the ending is really dragging on ill just skim through it. |
| I rarely drop shows. I usually only pick the one that i think I'd enjoy to watch. And I'm pretty good at it. |
| ive only dropped two shows and I don't plan on doing it again mainly because I don't like doing it. I'll put a show on hold until I feel like watching it again. |

No argument there. I can also confirm for Kyoukai no Rinne. InuYasha is somewhat popular, but there is no way I'm watching it. |
| I don't like to leave things unfinished (in every aspect of my life, not just anime). So yeah, I won't drop a series. |
 |
| I have a no drop policy. Copy pasting this from my profile. I am a completionist and no matter how bad the anime is ill watch it until the end once I started it. The speed button in media players exists to prevent further predicaments of wasting more time for a bad anime. Speeding is better than being a hypocrite hating an anime they havent seen. Those baboons should never be taken seriously and will be in my ignore list. So why dont I drop anime? It is really simple. The problem with the anime community is they talk about something they hate without watching it. Dropping anime is done by plebs but hating an anime without watching it are only done by people worse than plebs. So the next time I see a discussion where they say, "Oh I drop this anime because I hate it and I dont have any explanation why." then I will simply ignore that plebian way of thinking. |

| nope, and i find it pretty silly if you do |
| Yes. Sometimes I regret about it, but mostly it helps me to find some hidden gems. |

| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| Nope I don't. I think it's silly to keep watching something you don't like, it's okay to drop a show you don't like. |
 |
| @TheBrainintheJar Not always. Many good shows started off indifferently, but became great later. |

| I drop shows then I don;t even remember ever watching it as I don't put it on my list. RIP. |
| I used to, but now I just watch shows I feel fairly confident I will enjoy. I don't watch a lot of anime nowadays, which makes it a bit easier. |
