| lol if panty shots of little girls disgust you that much, you may be in the wrong community mate. Anyway I have plenty of red flags but I usually don't drop shows because of them. Although best girl losing might be a reason for me not to watch the show in the first place. Other than that cute little girls getting tortured, abused, raped is what triggers me the most but I won't necessarily avoid an anime because of that. It can still be a good show if there's some kind of satisfying resolution. |

| Don't care what themes an anime has, but if i have to sit through unnecessary exposition/unnatural dialogue ie talking to the audience, that's an immediate red flag, and if repeatedly, i will get angry. |

| When the anime caught up with the source material but there's still 5 episodes left though nowadays I encounter this problem less frequently, the fact that this exists hurts me internally |
 |
| Not to defend ngnl but hiro's panty shot wasnt actually surprising for it was tagged with ecchi. If that disgusted you then you made the right decision to drop it or else you'll be seing some feather tickling session and nipple-less breasts. Just maybe it was unnecessary right? I think so too but i did stick with it and eventually loved it. I only set red flags when the show explains too much about the plot. |
| I'm not personally offended by anything and don't have any problem with the more comedic and sexualized ecchi stuff being put out there for those who enjoy it to seek out, but since comedy and ecchi are not the reasons I watch anime, I would say yeah - some dumb, unfunny and over-the-top comedy and ecchi being the central focus. Really though, realistically, it wouldn't get to that point as I would be aware of the genres before starting any series. I don't mind if they put a bit of comedy and ecchi into otherwise serious shows as comic relief or some easy titillation, but I have no interest in watching a show revolving around them. To me, that indicates it will lack a lot of the substance I'm looking for and is just light fluff. Ethically, they can put in any scene and it's fine. Whether or not it's something I agree with or advocate for in real life is irrelevant; it's fiction. |
| Either a.) there are 2 love interests presented and it's painfully obvious which one is going to win or b.) there are obvious yuri vibes going on |

For me it was when I was told to check out No Game No Life and within the first minute I was subjected to an eleven year old's (I think) panty shot. Funny. My red flag is when an anime chooses not to have any cute girls because it comes across as pretentious "this anime is better than that" nonsense. Also fuck you. I'm sorry you were "subjected to" something that wasn't to your taste. I could be a fucking asshole too and complain about being subjected to all kinds of stuff I didn't like.

It's so fucking ignorant of real harm that goes on and real abuse to suggest that some anime girls with exaggeratedly petitie bodies are somehow the same thing. I'm so fucking tired of judgmental fucking control freak pricks labelling me and other perfectly good people as pedos. From the deepest reaches of my soul: Fuck. You.

| I don't usually have any. But annoying characters (especially over-the-top tsunderes, but it applies generally) can make me drop show really fast. Overblown female proportions (especially combined with ecchi) are another good reason. And harems in general are pretty close to red flag, but I give them chance to redeem themselves and I don't just drop the show because it has that element. |

Sounds like someone's a little touchy about the fact that most people frown upon the act of masturbating to images of children being sexualized, real or otherwise. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| When the show is trying to sell me on rapey situation as being romantic or a rapey character as lovable, that's pretty much the only unversal 'nope' signal for me. You can show whatever you want in fiction, even if it's offensive, but context matters. When you glorify and romanticize something like rape that's where I draw the line. If you want rapey characters in your story, at least have the decency of presenting them as despicable and don't make every other character in the show completely ignore their rapeyness and adore them. |

| Characters getting drunk tends to bother me, but if it only happens rarely in an Anime, I can tolerate it, but not Maison Ikkoku. That Anime is garbage. Seeing breasts bouncing in an Anime that is not a comedy is also very annoying, and could cause me to drop an Anime if it happened frequently. |
 |
| Lack of fanservice can be a big turn off, unless it's some mythical godlike anime such as LoGH. However for the average anime, it could mean the author is holding back their characters. |

That is kind of rich coming from someone known to proudly ship underage boys with each other, sexualizing them even when the shows in question do not do so. Being extremely judgmental about others and extremely ignorant when it comes to your own fetishes seems to be a popular thing in the anime community... |

| generic harem and fantasy. (one would have to convince the shit out of me to watch fantasy stuff, with elves and such) |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| If oversized breasts are on the cover or if minors are clearly being sexualized in the anime I won't want to watch it. If it looks like the kind of thing where the battle scenes are prioritized over developing the plot and characters I'll also avoid it since I'll expect it to be boring. |

| Anime with lolis on the cover, examples include that "Ryuuou oshigoto" and Eromanga sensei anime. Short version of what I'm trying to say: anime with an entire loli cast, basically. |

If i were to play devil's advocate and delude myself from her fetishization even existing, i assume her justification would be because it's with each other and not her that somehow makes it okay, albeit wrong, but even then she damned herself by saying "subtext". That or the age of consent in Delusion City is above whatever preconceived notion they have for what they deem Loli/Shota's ages to be. *Not that it matters to begin with. |

| For me red flags would be any shows with tons of action sequences. This bites me in the ass though as some of my favorite stuff has the best action. I just prefer the main focus to be comedy or romance. Bad habit from before anime, Action movies and Super Hero movies are my least favorite. My taste in anime has changed a lot in the last 3 years. I only wanted to watch anything and everything new with great animation. Now I always have a few pre 2000 shows that I'm watching Msilver2 said: What has made you disgusted or turned off from a show to the point where you quit watching? For me it was when I was told to check out No Game No Life and within the first minute I was subjected to an eleven year old's (I think) panty shot.  I feel personally attacked by this post! haha not really but my younger brother got me this shiro figure for my birthday last year. I obviously chose this one over the one of her on all fours in a skimp bikini with cat eats. @seiya 75 episodes in and they're really gunna make me wait till the last episode for the payout but I made it this far! |
| “The world is full of nice people. If you can't find one, be one.” ― Nishan Panwar 8=D ~ O: |
| Let's go through my list and see why I dropped stuff that I dropped with prejudice (i.e. not going back to it): Assassination Classroom: premise felt contrived as heck. Arakawa under the Bridge: I forgot what it was, but it was most likely a feeling of "what am I watching?", and not in a good way. Haganai: too many characters were too annoying. I could stand the first two girls thanks to their getting some decent characterization, but when they added in the nun and the scientist those two were just way worse. Date A Live: contrived premise, contrived fanservice, premise contrived to force fanservice, and actually trying to run dating sim tropes with a straight face and expecting me to take it seriously or something. DearS: noped out due to fanservice. Prisma Illya: noped out due to fanservice and an annoying talking stick. Aria the Scarlet Ammo: I wanted to like this show, as I love the OP and I think Aria looks cool, but the male lead's special power was just too stupid to accept. Humanity Has Declined: premise felt very contrived and unfun, also awkward humor. Kill La Kill: the general visual style isn't my thing. Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere: fanservice humor, if I recall correctly. Lucky Star: I'm just not into this this particular moë style, and Konata is kinda annoying. Ironically, when I first saw it, Lucky Star and Excel Saga were my go-to examples of shows that I didn't like about anime, but I've since found stuff I'd nope out of far faster, compared to which Lucky Star is rather tame. Machine-Doll: one lead character is irritatingly forward with sexual propositions. Minami-ke: one of the main characters is annoying in a jerkish ignoring-how-others-feel way which made this unfun to watch. No Game No Life: contrived premise, also fanservice. The Sacred Blacksmith: fanservice, also lol glorious katana. Valkyrie Drive: fanservice. In summary: * in-your-face fanservice, particularly when specifically used for humor * contrived premise setup * annoying characters |

Dinoceros said: @seiya 75 episodes in and they're really gunna make me wait till the last episode for the payout but I made it this far! I don't know how you managed to watch that many episodes of Maison Ikkoku without dropping it. It's by far, the worst Anime I've ever seen. |
|
| The biggest turn off for me is when the author clearly wants to portray the plot one way, but it comes off as something else entirely. Unless it's to the point of being an unintentional comedy. For example, in FSN every time Shirou tries to be heroic he just comes off as dumb instead. |
| 1. Kill la kill ep 12 (Mako ruins a perfectly good episode) and got me to drop the show for close to six years now. When I've gotten over it, I will return to Kill la kill and this time finish it. 2. For a story to not take of, my patience endured for 17 episodes once. I will never put myself through something like that again. That's the 2nd reason I won't start One Piece, Katekyo Hitman reborn and Gintama. 3. Parody - I despise it 4. Misunderstandings in anime - I strongly dislike them, however I have an example of both good misunderstandings and a bad one. The bad one is "Handa-kun", the good one is "Gamers" |
 |
| This doesn't necessarily fall in line with the question asked but if there is too much music in the anime, especially bubbly and very happy-go-lucky kind of music, I tend to realize that it's there to fill in for a lack of substance. I am not too heavily focused on substance in the sense of themes, plot or character development, but in the sense of what the anime is offering to its viewer, so when I hear too much music and very little dialogue that can keep my attention, it reminds me of bad American sitcoms with laugh tracks to queue in when I should find something funny. It's as if the anime is telling me that I should be enjoying its premise and atmosphere when there isn't really anything there to be enjoyed in the first place. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| I can tolerate a lot of shit and actually search for bad shows to numb my mind enjoy. Isekai or sol tagged as genres won't win me over at least to watch something. Maybe also dere characters and those annoying characters that are sold as being "cute", bonus points if it's a child character and unrealistic one at that. |
 |
| -Anime where I have trouble understanding the MC such as Overlord (even though I like him in Isekai Quartet) -Yanderes (edit: their presence is not something that is a red flag-instadrop for me, but something that makes me question if I should continue) -Graphic violence that is not deserving of the story. |

And you insult him for that? It's perfectly normal to feel disgusted and turned off by sexualized lolis in anime. You're not helping lolicons here you only care about yourself. I'm disgusted by them in the same way I am with sexualized males and transgender or whatever turns me off. They make my dick shrink. That doesn't mean I think people who are okay with it are morally wrong, that's insane. If it's all an anime has to offer it's a red flag for me, but I don't watch those kind of anime. Funny. My red flag is when an anime chooses not to have any cute girls because it comes across as pretentious "this anime is better than that" nonsense. I'm sure this helps the anime community grow closer. God you're crazy Fuck you for your theories of what is and isn't anime Fuck you for directly insulting the Japanese creators and fans who like those kind of anime Fuck you and all your opinions of what constitutes a "real" anime fan Fuck all your excessive weeaboo opinions |

HopefulNihilist said: Don't get me wrong. The use of music, and specifically the use of sound, in quieter series like Tex and Mononoke add a sense of tension and play a great role in the atmospheric presentation they have. What I have in mind tends to be more on the fluffier side of anime production where episodic slice of life series lie. Now, I acknowledge that this isn't true for a lot of slice of life series out there, and that there are indeed many series out there that have scenes where not quite much is happening accompanied with musical scores, but that's not always a demerit. Trying to avoid sounding like a pretentious douchebag, it's something that becomes more noticeable with the more series you watch, especially series that tend to be below average in quality. It can go without being noticed if you don't look for it but I really care for sound and music in anime since I don't like to ignore the audio aspect in the audiovisual.Fascinating. This isn't something I've heard of before. In my opinion, anime that rely more on music for atmosphere can be pretty cool, like Texhnolyze (although that series doesn't have any happy go-lucky music). I never noticed what you said, because I rarely pay attention to music in anime. I myself don't like happy go-lucky music in general. |
| I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| -Battle shounen -more than 40% action scenes -ugly/experimental character design -3DCG -forced dark atmosphere -MUH "mature" |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| So much hate for lolis and boobs. I feel bad for all of the busty lolis. So many animes have at least one of these things in there that people must be throwing up enough red flags to rival Red Army Day. There is nothing wrong with either, you can have loli fanservice and huge boobs and still have a good show and they can often make it better. That being said shows like Madoka with their faux and surface level sense of the macabre tend to get red flagged. |
