| I watched less than 5 minutes of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. |
 |
| Probably Upotte. I just couldn't finish the first episode. |
 |
| higehiro probably. first episode showed how the highschool-age girl was sexually exploited & mistreated by all these horrible men, then proceeds to give us a gratuitous close-up of her tits. incredibly disingenuous. I dropped it after the first episode but apparently it got worse from there lol |
 |
| Bomberman Jetterz was a boring kids' show. |
 |
| Himoto House. It needed only two minutes to put me completely off. It was painful to watch. If we are talking about the near past then in the previous season I dropped Deep Insanity: The Lost Child after eight or ten minutes. You don't need more to realise that something is not for you. |

eli_shmeli said: Generally, the rule we follow as a community is the "3 episode rule" where we give something at least 3 episodes to make it's case. However, sometimes something is so offensive and clearly not our taste that it really just MUST be dropped earlier. This could be a seasonal you didn't know you were getting into, or a show that just looked awful, or really anything For me personally, it wasn't so much offensive as it was just something I really went into blind and wasn't interested in. I generally have a rule that I don't watch shows about middle school environments, as I feel they aren't very accurate to how middle schoolers actually behave. So when Love Lab (which I was watching because of a meme) had a text box saying they were enrolled in a middle school in the first minute in I was like "ah helll nahhh". I then checked out the synopsis and it just didn't seem like anything I would enjoy at all. Anyways, what's your fastest drop? And also, how come?? Cause there has to be a reason. (and please, nobody saying "you should never drop" in the comments, cause if you do, go watch Ex-Arm) A - Can you source that "generally we as a community follow the 3-episode rule?" You'll actually find that barely anyone endorses or follows such a "rule." B - What the fuck were you thinking, watching a show without reading the synopsis? Are you seriously saying you have so little taste that you watch any random bull you get thrust toward you? |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ... was my fastest drop, I dropped it after about 14 mins of 1st episode when I saw he used his strongest spells that could annihilate kingdoms to single lowbie slime... I really hate parodies of fantasy so it was enough for me to drop it immediately (wonder why it doesn't have parody genre because I would avoid it). |

I dropped it after the first episode but apparently it got worse from there lol IT GOT SOOOOO MUCH WORSE. a dude threatens to rape the main girl with 100% sincerity, and then in the next episode he's totally forgiven and now one of her friends.... huh?? How would you deal with that guy though? The protagonist could legally be charged for kidnapping, escalating the situation wouldn't be in the interest of Yoshida nor Sayu either. |

Are you seriously saying you have so little taste that you watch any random bull you get thrust toward you? I mean... why not? it takes just as long for me to boot up the ol' 9anime as it does for me to read the synopsis. I also generally HATE reading synopsi for a myriad of reasons, including 1. they can often spoil some of then earlier episodes best moments 2. I like the show to explain it's own premise and 3. they're often super boring and I don't watch shows to give myself more homework 1 - No synopsis "spoils" anything. Knowing what instigates the story is not a "spoiler," since you're not meant to not know that when watching, as is the case with actual "spoilers." 2 - Knowing whether you will even be interested in the show, so that you don't waste your time, does not take away from the show presenting itself. 3 - In what way is reading a few sentences "boring," and how would it be "homework?" Are you seriously saying you have such a low attention span, such vehement opposition to the written word? Hell, you just made a text thread, how is reading what I've put here any different from reading about what a show is, why can you afford that but not the other? Or even, how was it not homework to read about Love Lab after you already dropped it? Your reasoning is just silly. Look at it this way, you claim to have a rule to not watch shows about middle school environments. How do you intend to enforce this rule, if you refuse to find out if a show has such a setting? |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| I think Elfen Lied was the most clear episode 1 drop I've had so far. Starts out interesting with some nice gore and then reveals one of those stereotypical wimp loser protagonists that never seem to have interacted with a girl in the real world before. It's just so absurdly cringe, I had to drop it from how ashamed I felt seeing what a loser the MC was. Especially after having watched EVA shortly before, I've really had my fill with pathetic loser protagonists. |
| If include H*ntais: Boku no Pico (half eps) If not including H: Ishuzoku Reviewer (2 eps) |

I find out if a show is in a middle school by watching the show While also refusing to watch shows set in middle school, apparently? Now you're less just acting illogically and more trying the physically impossible, all because you think it's "boring" to read a few fucking sentences. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| lol Sun and Moon comes to mind, immediate drop after 1 episode |
 I hope no one I know irl sees my secret account~ Anyways, do I look cute in this outfit?~ |
| Gintama I watched 5 episodes because it's all over the top 10s on mal and it felt kind of weird and campy. Didn't laugh or smile once. Oh well not for me I always have South Park and American comedy movies. |
 |
| hand shakers. absolute mess, the director must've been high. I dropped it after that sensory overload bs at the start. probably 2 minutes in. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| When it comes to episodic shows, it's either you like it or don't. I usually give it until the second episode. But for My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy, I immediately dropped it after like ten minutes. I just knew it wasn't my type of show. |

| Angel Beats, 3 episodes were enough for see how boring this anime is. At least the soundtrack is good. |
 |
| I dropped Deen's Fate/stay night after watching 1 episode - it felt like my senses were being assaulted, I felt sick and had to lie down for a while. |
| I do follow the 3 episode rule at the very least and I only dropped One Piece around episode 600 for along time until I watched Mushoku Tensei which I dropped around episode 4 and Fire Force which I dropped around episode 7. Fire Force was awesome but way too much fan service to the point that it devalued some key moments in the anime. Fire Force would be so much better without fan service or have it toned down a lot. As for Mushoku Tensei I despise Rudeus as a character and that's it he's a terrible character and I wish he was never in Mushoku Tensei. |
| Most of my drops are seasonals which I dropped after 1 episode. Other than that I think it is high school dxd hero. When I was binging h dxd,the 4 the season felt really boring.So,I dropped it after 4 or 5 episodes |
| No Game no Life, I literally did not make it a full minute into the show before dropping it. |
epidemia78 said: probably a tie between Aria the Crepuscolo and Kingdom season 1. Both I dropped for basically the same reason. Terrible art style. All it took was a brief glance and I was like: NOPE. Although Aria was way more offensive to me on a personal level because such a drastic change was inexcusable. It was just JC Staff with their Amanchu artistry, and Hal Film Maker had been abolished long before that. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |

The change was way too drastic and gave the impression "we know better what is good". |

Nah, I still build the fourth wall for myself. |

Well, it might be the preference of the late 2010s or something, because JC had already applied that artistry to Amanchu, which I found unsuitable for Kozue Amano's works. |

| Well, if you ask me what is my fastest drop: I dropped Monster Musume no Nichijou at the first minute. Instant nope'd. |
| MOKUSHI KUSHIMO SHIMOKU KUMOSHI MOSHIKU SHIKUMO. |

Not trying to be that guy but there’s none of that cringy CGI after Kingdom S1 I understand your pain lol OT: Berserk 2016 S2 because I realized only a masochist could try to watch it, even for the shits n giggles. |
   |
| Death Note. Or would be if my No Drop Policy allowed it... |
  |
| I can't remember specifically, but there are tons of series which I dropped before I even got past the first five minutes. |
| Less than an episode. 2 reasons: 1. Can't stand it. The art style, narration, characters. It was just alt+f4 -> MAL -> dropped. Took ~3 min. Devilman: Crybaby Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Mononoke 2. Eyebleeding animation. I don't know how greedy and blind a man must be to create and release these. For me it's an Ex-arm\Berserk (2016) level. Dorohedoro Sidonia no Kishi |
