| I'm going to power through anime I don't enjoy just to rate/review it. Kind of strange but I don't want to score an unfinished anime in case there are some things at the end that could change my opinion about it, although I'm sure that's really rare. |

| as ong as it's on an illegal streaming site, so you don't gib them you momeys but seriously I think it's fine, and writing reviews of how shit it is, makes it cathartic in a sense |

| I do that every time so it's ok, and the best thing about it? You can feel how it feels like gettin' torture |

| Yeah, I guess, but a +1 completion is not worth hours of boredom and/or mental torture. I'd just drop it. |

| I'd say its worth taking the risk to finish a series. There may be a chance that it could become your favorite series- and if not that then maybe at least having one of your favorite scenes in anime. |
 |
| What's the point of watching something you don't clearly enjoy? I'm simple: I don't like, I drop (or put it on hold just in case if I want to give a second chance) |
 |
| course not.. i mean whats the point? unless you're friend suggest you to watch it .. or ur a blogger that wants to review anime for a living |
 |
| Is it ok to finish anime you enjoy? Pretty much what's your asking but different approach. |
| Well, I managed to power through a season of Queen's Blade. Didn't hate it. It was just boring compared to at least three other action-ecchi shows that I watched. |
 |
| It's up to you. If you don't enjoy an anime ask yourself: is there somrthinh I still want to see. Foe example: I hated Casshern Sins a lot, but still I kept watching it through the very end just to know some details about the main plot + the mystery elements of the show. But dont force too hard. No one in the right mind would watch a long runner show just to kmow weather X supporting character will get a sidestory with Y supporting character. |
| It's okay if you like to waste your time and be masochist. Nah, just watch 20+ seasonal anime like me. |
| nothing wrong to drop those anime which you can't enjoy . |
 |
| I personally don't have that many dropped animes, purely because even though I really didn't like some of the ones I completed, I can still laugh at how bad they are = I actually still kinda enjoy them. Ousama game is a great example of that. A show so bad it's actually good in a way. But obviously when something bores you to the death and you're struggeling through every episode, why would you continue? |
Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |
| No, you're not an idiot. I mean they're seasonal shows so it's easier to watch them on weekly basis. An idiot is the one who even binge watch and never drops a minimum of 24-ep anime knowing it's bad/boring already just for the sake of hating it. LIKE ME lol but that's from the past, I never bother anymore because my time is precious. |
| No. The anime police will come hunt you down. |
| No, not at all, better drop it, it's not enjoyable for you anymore. |
 |
| I always finish an anime that I start. The only case which I didn't, was Berserk (2017), because it was too painful to me, since I am a fan of the real Berserk series. Some of them were painful to finish, like Log Horizon, Ergo Proxy, Fairy Tail and Soul Eater... But I finished them anyway. Still a waste of time though. Especially Fairy Tail... Oh my, the regret... |

| Is it ok to finish anime you don't enjoy ? Don't pick it up if you know you wont finish it. |

| No, it's not okay. You'll go to jail. |
| I don't drop things because I feel like I'm going to go through my Dropped list and try to watch everything in there for real eventually, even if it's really bad. I've finished some really terrible anime because of this compulsion. I try not to cheat by deleting the entry, but it's happened once or twice where my friends are watching something with me and I just have to drop it because before I knew it we never got back to it. Also I feel like it's a waste of time to invest so much time into something and not see it to the end. Sunk cost fallacy got me bad. |
 |
| Well, it depends. Anime in my opinion is different from TV shows or western cartoons in terms of consecution and predictability, most of good anime just physically can't bait you with only one episode. There is one example where 99% of first episode were typical silly comedy but then in the very end it opened its hidden motive, it was a real surprise to me since I don't like to read about anime because of spoilers. So I have a rule of 3 episodes, in common it's enough for understanding the tendency of your typical 10+ ep anime, of course if it's 23+ ep anime then it's a right thing to watch about 6 ep. There was even one anime which I didn't like for about a half of episodes but second half of anime was much better to me, so it was worth it. Sometimes anime can be extremely bad, it could be just opposite to your taste, your interests, your adequacy, your nerves but if it's something famous or extremely popular then finishing such garbage could be a principal thing when you start more analyzing (if you like such stuff) anime itself and destiny of responsible for this anime studio than just watching it in a casual way. Also, even though generic anime is better in terms of quality than a bad one, generic is still worse since you won't get any new experience, you'll just forget that bland anime when bad anime you'll remember for forever and could make some conclusions, open your mind - this is how you forge your individual taste, not only by good but also by bad things. One last thing, there are no anything better than watching some good anime just after some bad because a good one will be as much better as how awful was a bad one. |
| If you feel like you gained nothing than just drop it. |
| I do the same thing, especially with airing ones I rather just finish it than straight up drop it. The only time I really drop anime is if the first episode was horrible. |
|
| Depends. I didn't care for Ergo Proxy but I recently watched all of it. I'm not liking Diebuster at all, but I'm planning on finishing it. But Freedom and Appleseed XIII I dropped within seconds because I knew I couldn't handle the torture. |
| It's perfectly okay. To be honest I feel like people who force themselves to watch an anime series they don't like either 1. Treat watching anime like a Job - 2. Are just doing it to get another anime under their belt or 3. Watching it because it's a Mainstream series and they feel pressured to watch it because everyone else is If you're uncomfortable dropping a series then most likely cause some inkling in you is worried about what other people will think but as an anime watcher you shouldn't be ashamed of dropping a series. At least you tried it. Not every series is gonna be for you. In my opinion, for every anime you waste your time forcing yourself to watch, there is an anime that you could be loving every minute of. Everyone just likes what they like and watching anime should be fun not a chore. |

| I'm a completionist so I always feel terrible dropping an anime. Hell ... I even finished the entire Yugioh series despite it not having the same effect on me like it did when I was younger (Gee that was unexpected ^^) And ofcourse it's okay to drop it, nobody's forcing you to finish an anime you clearly don't enjoy. |

RafaelCLP said: In the past I'd just finish everything, even if just to have the right to say it's bad. I hate when my friends watch one or two episodes and already say that anime is shit and drop it. Some anime don't change much after those first episodes, but others start slow and then get quite exciting, and that's why I feel it's important to give an anime a chance before criticizing it. I'm kind of the same way. I don't like to drop series, cause I feel like I haven't given it the chance to get better. Even if it is bad, though, sometimes I just want to finish it to be able to give it a low score. Out of all the stuff I've completed, I've never scored anything below a 6, and I realized that's because I end up dropping series that would have those lower scores. Call me a masochist, but sometimes I force myself through bad series just to be able to say 'yeah, I watched that, and it was terrible' oryouohagi said: Well, there is probably a reason why you keep watching them, maybe out of habit or something. If you don't like it, just drop it. You can always give it a second chance later. I agree with that. Sometimes, I'll watch a bad series just because I'm bored. Once in a while, I'll pick up a dropped series, and just watch a few episodes, to see if I'm interested in starting it up again. I wouldn't say I drop things permanently, just that I'll watch them at an extremely slow pace Call me a perfectionist, but I will force myself though a bad series if I know there is a good season later. The only shows I pick up after dropping are the ones where I know the series gets better. I dropped the first season of Fate/stay night, but picked it up again because I was interested in watching Unlimited Blade Works (and the rest of the fate series). |
| It is ok to do whatever you want as long as you're not breaking the law or something like that. |
| If your a masochist that likes grueling over anime then sure. |
 |
| I’m somewhat like a completionist when it comes to anime and manga, so I absolutely hate dropping them. More often than not, I end up completing it because I didn’t want to leave it unfinished. Unless it’s absolutely offputting and not suiting my tastes to the point where I can’t even stand it. |
