I can understand if you've got like 2 EPs left but why even let yourself get that far?
That's like me seeing a piece if shit but not knowing if its chocolate or shit. I take a bite and find out its shit. Will I keep biting that piece of shit to see if the whole thing is shit? No. I would stop after that first bite of shit

I continue to watch a series regardless of how I feel of it. I can't start something then not eventually finish it. I may put a couple series on hold now and then but I will always go back to it.

No I don't, that would be stupid.

That said I have occasionally watched shows that aren't very good if I think it might go somewhere. Like I wouldn't have watched Madoka Magica if I didn't. But then on the other hand, I get disappointed by Plastic Memories which I really thought was going to do something good.

If a series really is too unbearable though, I will drop it, or take it at a very slow pace.

No because I'm not a masochist, MAL provides a drop list for a reason , I'm not obsessed with completing as much anime as possible to increase my list and boast about it, I'm not an elitist to watch an anime I hate so that I can purposely shit on it.

I know a lot of people don't want to give up on the anime, but I tend to just drop it if I'm not satisfied with the content. Can't really force myself to watch something I'm not enjoying, no matter how short a period. It's not worth it

Chili pepper chocolate might make a better metaphor. If you take a bite it just tastes like chocolate. You can keep eating it and it will take a few pieces before the heat hits you. Some people are able to enjoy the pain. It may be a better idea to wait until it's packaged so you can read the label.

A wise man once said, "Life is an exercise in duality, one can only appreciate pleasure if there has been pain to put it into context." Basically watching shows that suck helps you to appreciate the good shows. Thought that being said I'm not against dropping shows if they get so dreary that I'd rather do just about anything else besides watching them.

Maybe just hoping that it gets better later on. I tend to misunderstand and not get the main idea until I get deeper, especially for confusing ones. Plus I get the feeling that I'll regret it later if I don't see it to the end.

I love eating shit. I love flossing with floss I pulled directly from my ass and lather it with shit flavored shit to get that shitty fresh shit flavored shit taste. I love tasting my own regurgitated shit that I shitted before so I can shit it again and taste it in a never ending cycle of shit eating. I love taking my fingers, spreading my buttcheeks, and lathering shit from my ass to spread all over my face. I love the taste of shit, the smell of shit, the feel of shit, the sight of shit, and the sound of shitting. I love the taste of shit and I have shit taste. I HAVE SHIT TASTE AND I LOVE IT. Yummy yummy yummy yummy.

I used to force myself through anime I didn't enjoy, but now I just drop them. I rather not waste my time on shitty anime. Before dropping anime I do look online to see if it gets better because some anime's don't pick up until around the half way point.

I tend to enjoy anime. I used to be a completionist, but that's literally just an anime list; I'm not really active on MAL besides to update my list, who are you impressing if you waste half a day at the very least going through piles of shit? Anime is for your own enjoyment and I don't think you'd want a day wasted on thoughts like "WHEN WILL THIS EPISODE/SERIES ENNNND?" especially since that day could be wasted on actual quality anime.

I like finishing popular anime which is often used as a reference point which is why I plan on watching SAO even if I don't expect to like it at all. Plus there's always the off chance that I'll start liking it for the same reason that it has mass appeal.

No, if it is horrible, I will drop it. Or rather, these days, it simply disappears from my list never to be seen again. I wish I had a lot of time to watch and enjoy anime but honestly, I simply do not. Therefore, when I watch anime, I want it to be an anime I would enjoy. Why should I waste time watching something I hate? If I would be tempted to do something else instead of paying attention to the story chances are I don't like it.

same here. Sometimes I would literally stare at the time so much I miss most of what's going on in the episode
