Censorship, heavily and out of place CGI and probably some other things I can't think of right now.

Most recently complete sudden change in tone,most notable example Koi To Senkyo To Chocolate. 1 minute you get a death by getting hit by a car scene the next minute morning erection (implied ofc) scene,gay dick jokes and sexual awkwardness between 2 male characters.
Just wow....

This. I'm beginning to think Grisaia fits it too....

The entire series [Koi to Chocolate] was like 9 episodes of ecchi harem comedy and the last few actually tried to be serious.

Dumb premise like two well defined factions fated to fight each other (good vs evil, heaven and hell, texans and mexicans) and one guy fated to bring about peace (or just fuck shit up. Still sucks)

Wimpy, loud mouth, cliched protagonists with over exaggerated emotional responses (especially when they're drawn in as well, like how the characters in Pokemon always fall over and stick their legs up)

They disrupt the mood/flow of the show and make it almost impossible to feel anything during emotional moments.

Dealbreakers within first episode:

- Grimderp/ 3edgy5you (For example Trinity Seven)
- Wimpy male protagonists (especially if they get walked on by arrogant female characters) (For example way too many anime)
- Extremely soulless/ tasteless intellectual property/ assembly line production (for example Amagi Brilliant Park)



Those are the only three things that can cause me to drop something as soon as episode 1.

I won't list stuff that appear in anime I wouldn't watch anyway, but here's one that has made me drop a series that didn't seem too bad otherwise:

Nasal, high-pitched female main character voice that makes a supposed-to-be-late-teens character sound like a baby. Insta-drop material for me *shudder*

- Ridiculous Fanservice (Panty shots, ridiculous outfits, homosexuality, incest when used for fanservice alone)
- Terrible Dialogue (looking at you G-reco and M3)
- The extremely soft/slow speaking emotionless little girl whatever that is called (NGNL,Guilty Crown etc)
- Ridiculous amounts of affection (sakura trick)
- Horrendous art, animation or CG (Blazblue ROFL)
- A large group of girls (k-on, sakura trick, idolmaster all that shit)
- Unnecessarily young characters (Mahouka, Captain Earth etc)
- Horribly executed overpoweredness (Mahouka)

If it feels like something I have already seen a thousand times I'll probably drop it.

Also:
- Women (or men) portrayed in an objectifying way for no goddamn reason.
- MC has no personality.
- Animation or art is so bad that it actually affects how the story is told.
- Bad pacing.
- Annoying characters.
- Unexplainable harem.
- Unnecessary violence or distasteful humour.

All of the above are reasons for me to drop anime.

The plot being confusing.

It's also a turn-off if the characters talk in military jargon, technobabble, or formally. This is why I'm reluctant to watch sci-fi anime. I prefer it if the characters talk informally, like actual normal people.

Average guy suddenly gets 10 girls for no reason after 16 years of being unpopular. He never chooses any of them and lives in complete ignorance of romantic feelings. Additionally, he keeps complaining how he would like to have a girlfriend.

The idea of harem which is more like a circle of female friends, who never get any proper romance.

Cliche female characters made to satisfy the needs of various fanbases. Not every club has a loli, genki and a tsundere. Is it necessary to base the humour on such cliches?

Overly kind MC who confuses everyone with his behaviour and makes you feel like a scumbag for not helping every single person in the world.

Deus ex Machina situation every two episodes.

I wish there were more anime series with female leading characters.

Whimpy male leads is a big turn-off, but then again, that was mentioned before.

What wasn't mentioned before and what really makes me avoid anime that involves martial arts is irrealistic fighting. I mean, you can say that nothing is meant to be realistic in anime, but cliche characters are just the result of exaggeration of traits normal humans show sometimes, too. Parrying bullets while being on the hunt for the ultimate chi-infusing power-up of the legendary woo to be able to summon nuclear explosion's out of one's arse is just unacceptable.
