| I unintentionally drop all my childhood anime... since I can't found the the continuation episode lol |
 |
| I used to drop them but now I continue to either see if it gets better or to help me better appreciate the good ones |

XenoZodiac said: I can't drop shows/movies/anything really. When I start something, I have a compulsion to finish it. Very unhealthy. Which is why I generally research before starting anything. Instead of dropping, I generally don't pick it up in the first place. Same here, I haven't dropped any anime so far (except for One Piece but that was years ago, and I'm now considering giving it a chance) but I have somewhat struggled with a few of them. |
XNoobAsianX said: I vaguely recall having a discussion about this with a couple of other people. In particular there was one guy that had a no drop policy and was vehemently defending it. My answer that I'll give will basically be the same as what I gave him. Time is a currency that you can never get back, you only ever use it and once you use it all you die. With my work commitments I only have a small portion of the week to do everything else which is why I typically won't watch anime that I don't like. Listen to this guy. There is no way to earn more time. |

| Sometimes... if I'm watching online then I immediately drop it but if its being shown on TV then I may watch till the end. For example HxH 2011 and Baka to test. |
 |
| I always try to hope that it will get better. |
| P.S. English is not my first language. I'm sorry if I would cause any misunderstandings. |
| Maybe ppl r just bored and just like to see how it ends...lol |
 |
| ofc not ! if the show was bad and boring from first episode, i dropped it bcs just a waste of time on me |
| No,Anime is a hobby for me because I enjoy watching it in my free time, if I force myself watching something that clearly I dislike then, whats the point? |
 |
| These no drop policies are for retards, its the dumbest thing you can do. Ever |
| So many similar threads about dropping shows but w/e. No I don't drop shows at all, I feel so bad missing out on something I've started. In fact I watch everything related to a show I start aswell, again just not to miss out on what's related to the anime. Seikon no Qwaser was the worst anime I had to sit through, but still glad I finished it. I started Yugioh because of nostalgia and yes I did decide to finish everything Yugioh related, even the horror that was GX. Arc-V is alright currently but just getting tired of endless duels every episode, then again, that's what Yugioh is. And ofcourse because I dont drop anything I take extra time when considering to watch a certain anime. |
 |
| Depends.. there are times when I drop an anime because I really can't stand to watch anymore, but I prefer to finish everything I start. |
| Sometimes, when I'm bored and just want to see some flashy stuff exploding, or some fresh corpses and such... |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Nah, I usually watch shows that I know I'll like, hence why my average score is pretty high. At times I'll watch some shows I like just to see what all the hype and commotion is about. |

Justice_Rises said: 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. Pretty much this. If I start it, might as well finish it. It might get somewhat better, I tell myself, so I try to get through the first 3-4 episodes to see if I'm right. Unless it's REALLY, REALLY bad. Then it goes straight into the drop bucket after the 1st ep (or sooner, if I can't deal with it) |
| 死ねカス国に帰れ |
| I do for the most part, although I finally relented this season and allowed myself to drop a small amount of ones I knew I wouldn't gain any enjoyment from at all. I do intent on keeping it rather small though, and I might pick them back up at another time for the sake of it. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| I do it to piss off fans because I'm a massive shit-poster. |
| I've dropped a lot of anime. When I don't like something, I don't watch it, but sometimes I pick up the dropped shows when my mood changes. |
| “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” ― Winston S. Churchill |
| If rarely drop a popular/high rated anime because I want to see if I find them as good as the other people does. That usually leads to me finishing anime that I didn't like so atleast I can talk about them. Also, every airing season has 2 or 3 anime that when I'm midway through them I realize that I just don't care about them at all, but since I'm that far I will just keep watching, this season they were Tales of Zestiria the X and Alderamin on the Sky, and yeah, I regret to keep watching both of them. |
 |
CatSoul said: Yeah, I've decided not to drop anything. I regret it at times. Same here. I do it (or don't do it) for the sake of: "you gotta watch something terrible from time to time to learn to differ it from the good stuff later on." ...Or maybe I'm just masochistic. |
 |
| Depends on the shows length mostly. For 1 cour 12 episodes series I try to give it a chance until ep 3 as much as I can if the series can keep me interested even a bit I continue but if it ever gets boring afterwards to the point I don't enjoy it anymore I just drop.. For the long running ones like over 100 ep. I simply don't start without a recommendation or a high score.For eg. Gintama was mediocre at best until ep 25 then I suddenly found myself laughing my ass off and now it's my all time favorite anime. |
 |
| Well at first, i thought about not dropping any shows...then i realized that having like 40, 50+ anime on my currrently watching list is kinda absurd...so i started dropping, !but somehow my currently watching list has been going down :/ |
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS. |
| I used to have something like an OCD, annoying like a sock left in the middle of the room, just one damn sock. If I started watching a show, I felt like I MUST finish it, it was bugging me. Then that led me to see some really and I mean really disturbing stuff. It changed me. What does keep you going, I can tell? |
| Im pretty masochist but no need to watch 12000 episodes of naruto if I dont like it |

| I'm probably one of the few that hated Mirai Nikki, just kept on watching hoping to see what everyone praised/liked about Mirai Nikki... sadly saw nothing that I liked even towards the end. The main protagonist and main girl I hated so much. There was like only a few characters I truly liked. |
| Usually no but I make some exceptions. |
| I used to but not anymore, I have better things to do |
 |
| No. When I'm bored, I'm dropping shit series right away. Thanks to this, I'm able to check many series and find many hidden gems. PS. When you start working, then you will understand the value of free time. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I try to pick up titles that I might like, but most of the time I fail and drop 'em. |
 |
| If they're really bad, cringy or is focused more on fansirvice than plot, I drop it. If the series is ok, I usually finish them. |
 |
| If I see no interesting element, no. Unless I am watching the animation because someone asked me to. @Atlas77 Don't feel bad about St Seiya. The manga was cancelled (the author was given 2volumes to end it with no pre-publishing) and even now that the mangaka revived it, it has a terribly slow release and will probably never get the conclusion it was supposed to receive. The anime itself was cancelled before the last arc and later reprised as OAVs but is now stuck at the manga's forced end. Plus it has a number of incoherencies due to the fillers implemented very early (it started very soon after the manga's beginning) and a full 26eps "original season". And of course, because the new publisher, Bandai and Tòei decided to make a franchise out of it, it has a stellar number of spin-offs, alternative story, future stories, past stories, etc who only add to the inconsistency of the world. |

| It's me. I wonder how it will end, so i watch all episodes. |
| If it's your typical 13-episodes seasonal anime, I would rather prefer watching 2 or 3 episodes before dropping. Although if I hate it definetely instant drop. |
 |
| On rare occasions I do but normally I don't since it's a waste of time. |

| Yes, if it not that bad and if i have alot of spare times. |
| given the time and premise, there is no show that i would drop. But who knows? maybe tomorrow i will drop something. |
| "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, EVER cut a deal with a dragon." |
| i try no to,but sometimes you just have to drop it. |
 |
| Ufcurse, I don't drop any anime at all, never! |
