| When you read manga or watch anime, scenes can get boring at times. Or they can become annoying. Do you skip stuff that annoys or bores you? And how much of such scenes can you bare with in a manga/anime before you decide that it's not worth your time? As for me: I'm extremely lenient on things that annoy me. I don't mind the MC being annoying or the whole cast even, if the story has other redeeming qualities. As long as there is something redeeming about any work, the bad qualities don't tend to make me stop. Although there are small things that can make a manga unbearable for me. E.g. if the MC is trying to be that shallow guy that cares about nothing but coming off as "cool" and "not giving fucks". I'm not lenient on content where I feel I already know what's going to happen. I'll skip those scenes without a second thought. A work would have to contain nothing but ~70% of regurgitated content that I've already seen hundreds of times for me to not care about reading it on though. |

| nope i watch everything until the end. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| I discontinue watching an anime if the female voice actors are too squeaky for my liking. Another thing I usually do is that if the story of an anime is basically a duplicate of another anime, I just instantly drop it. |
| I feel ya op. Anything below a 5 for the most part was finished due to ‘one’ trait keeping me baited. However I don’t do this often. Everything else I genuinely like, I’ll just get hyper focused on specific aspects if certain aspects don’t jive with me. |

| Skipping the scenes is a sin, sir. The only times worth skipping boring scenes is in the hentai or mangas +18. |
| When I watched Star Trek TOS and rewatched Star Trek TNG on Netflix, I skipped some of the episodes if they were rated low. Good shows, but much of them are just excruciating. |
| If none of it is good I drop it. If it is just 1 bad episode I watch it at faster speeds and may skip it. |
 |
| I used to have a very bad anime watching compulsion from OCD, so I made myself watch anything and everything for the sake of watching it, lest I became anxious. I also had a slight manga compulsion in which I read 6 chapters per day, and once I started something, I could not stop reading it, even if it became boring. Now, of course, those compulsions are gone. If I get the time to read manga, I will only read what is enjoyable. |
  WORK IN PROGRESS ~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~ I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit, Adenomata affronted. It was the verecund, dismissed creatures That I jubilated in most. This rabbit I would nurture, At the aiguille of esse, The anneal of noblesse. ❤️ Birdie ❤️ |
| I've only dropped a few anime series, and if I dropped them, there is a damn good reason to why I dropped em'. I mean, hell, I watched Boku No Pico the whole way through. |
  i'm a worm |
| if its boring i drop theres too much to have to suffer through anything |
| I almost always drop melodramatic garbage instantly, beside that i will mostly only drop if i get so bored that i can't even watch a minute before pausing and doing something else. Also most of the time i tend to give bad shows too many episodes before dropping i simply get bored, thinking "i'll finish it some other time" but then never do. I have shows on my watching list that i haven't seen an episode of in years. |
| I don't skip anything. If it's that boring, then I'll just drop it or won't bother in the first place. Closest I've come is deciding, half way through, to watch the rest of Terror in Resonance in 2x speed. It's only a short series, so I didn't want to drop it, and I wanted to see if there was anything of substance at the end. Hated it. |
| I just suffer through everything I'd drop it but it'd require something that is complete garbage trash to break my 0 dropped anime count. |
| I'm a 0 tolerance kind of guy. A series is boring? Try another. I'm not feeling anime at the moment? Read some manga. Manga isn't doing it for me? Watch a kdrama series.. I don't fuck around when it comes to my hobbies, if I'm not liking something, fuck it, I don't have time for that. |

| If it's a 12-13 episode anime, i'm usually able to finish it even if it's bad (ex. Glasslip lol). Seriously though, I hate dropping stuff, i'll usually only drop something if a character is extremely annoying. |

| Thread moved from Casual Discussion. We'll keep it in AD since it's busier than MD. |
 |
| No point in skipping stuff. Why even watch the anime if you find it boring in the first place? |
 |
| I try to read and watch everything. If it's really, really boring then I'll watch it with increased speed (anime only) or just drop it and pick up at later date when I feel like wasting my time. So far games were the only thing in which I skipped text but even then I usually read summaries so I have some basic understanding of situations. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| I never skip things. I may pay less attention if the scene bores me, but I do my best to not miss things. Even boring scene may be important to plot in some way. As for how much it takes for me to drop the show, it varies. A lot depends on the feeling I get in the ep 1. For some shows I can bare with a lot if I have a feeling that they have potential, while for others I may drop them rather fast if I don't have good feeling about them. There are shows that I drop after episode 1, or midway through it, on the first/second boring/bullshit scene, while for some shows I may put up with a lot before I fully give up on them and watch several episodes. If I were to use some recent examples, I did drop Sora to Umi no Aida somewhere midway through the episode one, since the whole concept it was based on seemed stupid to me, and it went overly cliche from the very beginning. Then when I saw them equip some random stuff on submarines out of nowhere as if by magic, though it was supposed to be sci-fi show, I just closed the episode and thought "nope". On the other hand another show that airs this season, Ulysses, had pretty bad first episode too, and in a way I liked it less than I did Sora to Umi, but I felt that it had potential to get better, so I got through it, and several other episodes. |
| If I'm watching something boring but some aspect of the anime is keeping me hooked, I usually watch it sped up. If there are still some good scenes or meaty dialogue I'll go back to regular speed, but there are a few shows I watched to completion on fast forward (like Yes! Precure 5 - the Pretty Cure franchise is great but that one was such a slog). I never skip scenes though, at that point I would just drop it. |
| if you can bare watching BnP, means you can bare watching all animes |

| I rarely skip stuff but when I do I do it after thinking about it for a minute or 2 and then skip. ex: log horizon 2nd season the kids arc. useless unninteresting generic episodes about these characters, in a great anime. and about having a bad MC for example I rarely ever stand it, but when character act like kids and are annoying I can't stand it. |
| I'd rather watch the whole thing than just skip it. If it's that boring then might as well just drop it. |
 |
| I'm noticing that I'm skipping some stuff recently. Probably because I made me watch too many things, so I skip some useless scenes |
 |
| I don't think I've ever skipped parts of an anime/manga, nor do I ever watch in 2x. If I start feeling like the anime/manga is shite then I'll just drop it altogether. Either that, or I'll put it on hold until I'm in a right mood to pick it up again. |
 |
| It depends if it's needed for the story or not, and if I've already been through the boring parts with the manga/light novel. With Overlord, I basically skimmed through the seasons, but read the light novels later to make up for lost information (which I'm glad I did, because lots of things are left out, especially with season 3). If an anime is boring, hard to watch, or if I feel like it's a chore, I'll just drop it, no shame in that. |
 |
| If I'm watching a few episodes in a row then I usually skip the parts that are recaps. I sometimes also skip backstories of characters I don't care about like in Haikyuu when they threw a backstory of some random, boring character in the middle of a match. |

| I choose my anime after much careful consideration, so no. I finish em. |
| When the show simply does not advance at all, either in story or character development, I think it's time to drop. Obviously sometimes, if the anime is extremely boring, but it has a good direction... I will certainly drop. My sanity is important too. |
| I drop anime that I think are boring. To hell with being a completionist, life is way too short to waste time on boring anime. |
  |
| I'm not a full on completion-ist but more than I should going by how much mediocre anime I complete. Still, there's usually small things I can like in shows I'm not so hot on and there has only been a handful of times I've regretted watching a series. |
| I try my best not to drop a show, regardless of how bad it is. However, some just lose my interest, as in I'm not even curious to see how much worse it can get, so I'm better off dropping them. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| i skip so much i sometimes skip straight to the end usually i skim over descriptions and expositions sometimes i watch everything, especially the ones i want to rewatch/reread, i pay more attention then |
