Samurai Champloo. Everyone kept saying this is like Cowboy Bebop but better, so I watched 5 episodes and felt no urge to keep watching. This was 10 years ago.
I still haven't seen Champloo but all I've heard is 'Cowboy Bebop but not quite as good'

I never drop and I'm nearing 600.

I do silently put series on hold at times though, but I never drop.

I survived K-On, so I can watch everything else.
I apologise that your tastes are so narrow that you have no quality standards or appreciation for anything outside your tiny little comfort zone.

The sudden nudity nearing the end of that show took me by surprise.

Same. But that only added to my dissatisfaction with the anime. For a show about sex, it certainly isn't that lewd, or revealing.




I dropped 07 ghost and X 1999 because i thought the male characters are gay.

Well... I dropped Seikon no Qwaser because they get powers from drinking breast milk. It just doesn't feel right to me.

I'm on the fence about dropping Hyouge Mono, I love dialogue-heavy, ~boring shows but I've watched half so far and I kind of have to talk myself into watching each episode.
It will continue with its own slow pacing until the end. It has its boring moments but it gets better gradually as the story porgresses. It will not disappoint you, especially the end was pretty great and fitting for the kind of series Hyouge Mono was

I dropped Gosick because the main character wouldn't stop yelling "VIIICTORIIIIQUE." His voice seriously reverberated in my head for over a week.

Accel World. No matter how much the anime tries to be serious, and how much the story is interesting, I can't get past the fact that the main character is one feet tall and a gluttonous object. It's just too ridiculous.

1. The anime will have way more episodes by the time that it ends.
2. No need to catch up.

I have dropped quite a lot of anime (at least compared to my completed list), but none of them for ridiculous reasons. Mostly for either these two reasons:
-It got dragged out too much and failed to keep my interest.
-It was simply not the kind of anime I enjoy.

Watching and enjoying it while being able to talk about some things and eventually being able to talk about everything > Not watching it for ten years while seeing other people talk about it and it possibly falling out of popularity or you get majorly spoiled.

And I doubt it's most people. The social aspect is only one part, I doubt so many people would continue to watch anime only to talk about it.

That's why I used a forward slash after the word, I wanted to say it but I didn't really want to stick with it. I wouldn't know how to quantify this & I can only judge from what I see on the forums but from what I can gather is it does play a big part for a fair portion of these guys, they might not admit it too openly but true nontheless. Obviously it's not so black & white as the be a sole factor, but they certainly do consider it enough as every second comment I come across about the decision to start a long running shounen or not has the words: "take some time to catch up" or "too many episodes to catch up", etc.

I think people can say that without it being about the social reason.

I don't understand why you watched it in the first place. You didn't get the gist of the show from the premise, cover or its tags?

Well, when I first started Hitsugi no Chaika, I was fine for the first couple of minutes. Then I saw Chaika and the fact that her eyebrow color didn't match her hair. I really get freaked out about that.

It isn't just an anime thing, I usually do a double take when I see people like that in real life as well. It took me almost a month before I ended up watching it all.

Eyebrows

Heh, I had a similar experience with Asobi ni Iku yo! The main heroine has cat ears AND normal human ears. Like WTF kind of biology is that? Didn't pay so much attention to them until one episode had her plugging headphones in and I just paused the episode for a good 5~10 minutes thinking WTF? lol

you have to start something to drop it....

But, on another topic. I did drop Strawberry Panic in just two episodes due to the lack of realism in some of the relatioships...

I really should pick it back up, I think I might have let a bad first impression deter me from a good show.
Same goes with Sailor Moon, that was silly, but I should pick it back up.

I'm pretty sure there was a similar thread to this before. But well I'll give a similar answer to last time

I kinda dropped Detective Conan after the first opening changed; I heard the first opening and ending a lot when I was younger so the OP helped me get motivated to watch episodes. Then they changed it to some shitty opening and that stopped lol...


I almost did that with Rurouni Kenshin.... but I wasn't gonna. Know what I did?

I literally paused the episode each time, skipped the opening, played "freckles" in place of the new opening, then continued watching
