Nope, used to do this with video games and then finally realized that there is too much stuff I rather be doing, playing, watching, reading, etc. Won't be making that mistake again.

3 Ep rule--
If it's good, fine, I'll watch it.
If it's bad, I'll drop it right away.
Though there may be some anime that I would just drop after watching the first episode.

The first part is really good, but than it starts getting boring. you still need to finish it, just for the art and animation, because IT LOOKS SO GOOOOD!!!!

Yeah I started Hyouka just because of the art style. I think I'll bear with it.

I have a rule. I give shows 2 episodes. If I dislike it after 2 episodes I will not proceed no matter how much poking or prodding my friends or the rest of the anime community do.

Of course yes, I complete everything I watch even if the show is bad I'll still finish it. But that means it will get a low score objectively and subjectively depending on my mood at the time.

Yes, only so I can discuss my opinion with people without them saying "you haven't watched it, you don't know." Which is a valid point.

Yeah I would, just so I can say how bad it was though xD I always watch shows until the end, just because you never know, something could happen in the last episode that makes the show

I used to, but now I find its more worth it to just stop watching it.

I personally finish animes that I don't like because that is just how I am. I haven't dropped one yet and don't plan to. I also believe that even if a show is bad it could still have that one scene that could change your mind about it.

I can't understand what the poll is asking, so I didn't vote. Perhaps OP is trying to ask "was the experience worth it?"

Anyways, unfortunately I do have a bad habit of watching (popular) shows that I dislike just to say that I watched it. Most of them weren't worth it.

It depends.

Zankyou no Terror was pretty bad for a while and I knew it wouldn't get any better. Watanabe made it though so I had to finish it, just outta respect.

Aldnoah.Zero on the other hand got dropped by me after the copped out of killing The Princess a second time. Fuck that show.

Yeah, I have. I have difficulty dropping shows because I'm always pulled along by the hope that it will get better, and keep up that hope until I'm far enough in that it seems like a waste not to finish it out.

I usually force myself to watch series that become successful and known to people that are not that much into anime. Fair examples would be SAO, SnK and series like that, I just had to keep going so I can have something to say to make them feel bad if a discussion about anime pops up. (And I don't do that often, only to those guys who have watched like 6 series, including SnK, and just reach to the conclusion that SnK is the best series ever...)

Absolutely never. I spend way too much time watching anime as it is, without wasting my time watching something I hate. Besides, I know how I am; once I decide a show or movie sucks, I only accept evidence that corroborates that view. The one exception would be pupa, because it was only 4 minutes long and I wanted to see how bad the trainwreck could get.

The one downside of dropping shows is that your rating has no effect on the MAL score, so overrated garbage like Baka Test or Penguindrum can keep their ridiculously inflated scores.

Also, what the hell was up with that garbled poll question?

No, finishing a series does not make someone an expert or give their opinion auto credibility in a discussion. But that's kind of what makes ragekids so amusing, you can just tell them that they can't judge the bigger picture without completing it and then when they do, you just tell 'em their opinion is worth shit.

So you genuinely enjoyed Aldnoah.Zero? Were you dropped as a baby?
