I'm not one to drop shows like at all (my thought process is that if I seen 1 episode already then it's only one less that I have to watch) is that weird? Does anyone else do it? Some examples of this are some anime's from the spring 2016 season Hundred and Terraformars Revenge.

I occasionally do it, I can understand if people don't want to drop anything though

Mainly posting to throw out a piece of advice; some places where you can stream anime lets you watch it at x2 or x4 speed, so if you simply want to finish a show to finish it and can read subs fast enough then it will be an easy feat for you and less suffering

i watch em no matter how shitty they are only because there are a lot of show's knowa days where all the good shii happens around episode 4-7 so when i start i do my best to force my self to watch them and later yea i can talk shii about them with other because i completed and know kno they was no fucking plot to begin with so yea your not the only one who does that

I watch anime because I enjoy watching anime, and if the show loses its enjoyment factor (or, it had none to begin with) it's not worth resuming

I haven't watched many anime, but at the moment I do try to keep watching till the end and give it a chance.

So far I haven't dropped anything. But if while watching an anime and for a few episodes I constantly feel like it's not entertaining or interesting enough, then perhaps I'll consider dropping it. But hard to say for those with so much filler because I want to watch the actual stuff so I just try to deal with it. Or I put it on hold for a while to watch an anime with less filler and then go back to it.

I find most anime to be boring, so it's inevitable. I hardly have an attention span these days, but I force myself to go through this crap. Heh.

I drop. No use in wasting any time on something I don't like, when I can just be putting that time to better use watching something I do like.

This Guy. Mostly because in the end I'm usually able to get some level of entertainment out of what I choose to watch regardless of how stupid I think it is.

There's actually only a few that I completely regret watching.

Unless the show is an atrocious pile of crap, I might finish it even if I dont like it.

If it's torturous, then heck no I wont.

Most of the time,yes I just drop it although there are exception.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Yeah, I try my best to plow through a show when I really dislike it.
I thank God Acchi Kocchi was only 12 miserable episodes long when I binged it because if it were any longer, I would have dropped it. It was terrible. Those 12 episodes felt like an eternity.
I'm still trying to suffer through Ranma 1/2. I'm starting to notice a trend with myself. I don't like the comedy genre in anime very much unless the comedy is adult humor.

True

Watching an anime fall into an abyss is fun in its own way. For Hundred, I watched just to have a reason to turn my brain off every once in a while.

On the contrary, Joukamachi no Dandelion wasn't going to get any worse. Having no hope to begin with meant that it wouldn't disappoint me. A strange sort of trust.

Idk but even if I don't like it, still makes me laugh.
Like B-Project, Started disliking it, but now I have some masochistic feeling and started liking it...

Yet there are some cases I do it 'cause I've gotten far on the series, and hurry it up,
like Taboo tattoo, thanks god it was a day a week, if it wasn't like that I'd have suffered xD

Nah. If you don't like It don't watch it. I try to stay away from shows I know i won't like. I got suckered into a few so called "masterpiece" shows though...

pretty much all my completed shows i gave fairly high score. scores below a 5 should have been dropped before completion.
I don't care.

There are times when I have skipped some anime at x2/x3 speed. So yeah I try to finish the ones I have started but I have also dropped many.
dont't watch that anime if you are going to give it 1* and cry 10000 words in review about it.

I can't frop most of the "bad shows" just to express respect for the staff. I don't underrate any anime (I dropped one anime in my whole life).
Sometimes people drop anime when it begins to become a decent one.
Ex1: I dropped Kiznaiver in episode 7 and watched the rest yesterday. I regret I've watched late.
Ex2: I know someone who droppped Stein;Gate on episode 6. (The shows begins at episode 7 or 8)
I appreciate the shows even though I don't like it.
