Cowboy Bebop. : / Tried it like 3 times now because of people claiming I need to give it more chances but it's just not good. I think it's just people loving it because of it having been one of the few anime on TV in the US and Europe during their childhood alongside shows like Outlaw Star which is also bad but even that could hold my attention better than Cowboy Bebop.


Dude, that ending scene is so iconic it inspired Blade Runner 2049. Cowboy Bebop is freaking incredible.

Even Denis fucking Villeneuve has surrendered to Watanabe's brilliance. I don't get what you people actually want.
But hey, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Saying it's "just not good" though... quite the stretch.

When I say BNHA is horrible, I mean it. Not baiting or anything. It's not that I didn't like the story, I just felt like throwing up every time I saw Midoriya and my mood turned sour when Bakugo showed up. To me, the show was aesthetically revolting. For sure, if they changed the personalities of all characters and redrew all of them, I would enjoy the show a lot.


I think you need to watch some actual horrible anime. Seriously.

Then can you recommend me some? I highly doubt it would be as revolting as BNHA. Just a reminder, i'm not hating on BNHA b/c of its story so don't link me Mars of Destruction or something.

I haven’t received much criticism for dropping anything. Even with Shigatsu, which I’ve trashed many times over the years for its issues, it hasn’t really been called out much.

You do realize that the majority of the online fandom wasn’t watching TV back then, right? Many of the older fans have moved on due to cultural changes within the fandom.

I love Cowboy Bebop, but I was three years old when it aired. I didn’t watch it until two years ago when I was twenty one. There’s nothing wrong with disliking the show, but don’t try to write off its lasting significance in the fandom as nostalgia.

You gotta love how people would rather call something bad and jump to absurd conclusions about why droves of other people love something for petty reasons rather than just figuring out that it's not their type of show. A quick look at their list tells me that Bebop or Outlaw Star are just not for them but somehow they themselves can't realize that and instead have to objectivize their preferences by condescending towards their fans. Humans are truly wonderful creatures.

So yeah, maybe some people in this thread don't get criticized for dropping something, but for being an asshole about.


All right fine, I'm being a bit mean spirited here, just thinking about the kind of people who get on my goat about this show makes me irate. I do stand by that I think it's a bad show though. It was nice of you to join me down here Pullman, seems only TripleSRank will be taking the high road today.

I honestly wouldn't give a shit even if someone criticized my dropped list. I won't waste my time on garbage that I don't enjoy.

If I had to guess though, Bakemonogatari and Jojo are likely what people would say I have shit taste for dropping.


I understand why someone would drop Bakemonogatari. I do still find it hard to understand why someone would drop Jojo, though.


Jojo is far too flamboyant and ridiculous for my tastes. I understand that the anime adaptation was made with a lot of love for the source material but it's really not my thing.

Try Born by Myself, by The Village of Marchen.

Then watch Worku after that. It's by the same people, but Worku is much better, since it contains some interesting social commentary.

That's what I've always had difficulty understand; why people don't like ridiculous. But I still do understand why someone wouldn't like ridiculous, even if I have difficulty understanding it.

I don't really talk about shows I drop, so no.

But I tend to drop shows very easily.

If a character starts annoy me, I drop. If the plot takes a side ways turn I don't enjoy, I drop. If I start to get bored, dropped.

It means nothing to me.

Stein's Gate has got to be #1 in salty fans about me dropping it. Bakemonogatari yeah definitely. Jojo, less and less over time. Where Steins Gate still gets people riled up. Gurren Laggan... I would hate to truthfully move Code Geass to my dropped list.

They just... weren't for me. Generally I tend to dislike time travel shows. I tend to be unable to follow very fast subtitles and if there is no dub option, welp.

And then there is just my nitpicks about boob physics and costume designs.

If I am not enjoying it, I drop it. If I put it on hold, and never seem to come back, I might as well have dropped it.

It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it or do, sometimes people just snoop on your list to try to discredit your feelings.

Steins Gate

Code Geass

Fate/Zero


Basically, they were all dropped because of the MC


Dropped because of the character, criticized the wrong thing before you fully understand the character cuz you only give it 5 episodes..

Not really fair tbh..
It's not like those shows are 100+ episodes shonen that takes too long to fully flashout a character.

If I do that I'd miss alot of good shows. Some characters are meant to be hatable early on and then you learn about his motivation and mindset and comes to an understanding.
If the story doesn't suddenly go full retard because of said character, there's no reason to drop a show because of said character.
(Like I literally despise most of the casts of Shinsekai Yori, but I regret nothing after finishing it cuz the story is just so compelling )

That right there. Right there is why I will never ever pick steins gate or code geass back up ever ever again even though I dropped them a really long ass time ago and have possibly changed my taste. Those series have been utterly poisoned over the years.

I cannot imagine even finishing Death Note this day in age. Because you know what? Even if the last episode was "worth it" it wouldn't be "worth it" as an adult with access to so many other anime that I would much rather watch. And just because YOU feel some strange need to finish everything you start, doesn't mean I do! I hate feeling bitter towards anime. And the entire "don't drop" club on this site at one time completely killed my love of anime.

And I would know poision. Evangelion is a hardcore toxic fanbase and I tell people to drop Eva on ep 1 all the time if they don't like it.

Also, I happen to like long runners in general.

It has happened once with one anime: FLCL.

Though by no means a bad anime, I just couldn't enjoy it, as it was not but random pop culture references, forehead mechas and psycho women for me.

I dropped it midway, and got criticized because of the fact it's a 6 episode series. Well, if I were to watch it whole, I would probably get fed up and rate it even lower, so it was probably for the better :P

People will not care if u dropped a show. Indeed, they'll say that if you don't like it, just drop it. I mainly drop One Piece, Bleach and Death Note because of how boring and stupid they are. Not to mention, Pokemon is one anime I wanna drop because it made upsate.

When I dropped Karakiri Circus in episode 2, my friends kept telling me to undrop it because it was getting better in the following weeks. The sad thing is that it was getting better indeed, but went to shit again after episode 3. This show can go to hell.

Goblin Slayer, was not as much criticized more in the line of straight up harassment with one replying "I hope your family dies so you will see that murder isn't okay either." not exactly sure where why I got that respond though. - Another guy i never knew existed wrote on my wall "I didn't know you were such a pussy".

That is about the only time someone found it important enough to voice themselves after saying that I wouldn't continue watching a show.

I have some that I dropped and my friends trying to make me continue them.

1. One Piece. I know it's good but I really don't have the time or power to watch 600+ episodes. It's too much for me
2. Bleach. I just can't watch this, I didn't get it, I didn't liked it, I watched like 41 episodes and stopped after that.
3. Highschool of the Dead - I tried to like Ecchi and Harem but I really can't. I hate this Genere so much. I'm sorry for all Highschool of the dead lovers.
4. Fairy Tail - saw one episode and dropped it. I just don't like this anime and I really can't explain it.

I agree with you, at first i really enjoy it but i kinda getting tired at the direction they decided to go. Right now for me BNHA doesn't have something to focus about and how they want to grow a lot of character when they introduced more character make me more tired to follow the story.

Well, it's SAO Alicization.
I dropped it because at first I thought it would more focus on the real world after watching The Ordinal Scale, but not, the people in this anime are still addicted to VR, and that's... not good.
And my friends (not on the internet, I do not go everywhere to say I don't like SAO, that's dangerous) said that I don't understand anything at all, that Alicization is the best arc of SAO, and dropped right from episode 1 is not respect the author, etc.
right. I really don't understand anything
Thank you Japan for all the weird shit
