What is an anime series you dropped but you watched again after heard a good things from other people?
| I had trouble getting into Monster at first. Maybe it was because of the pacing? But after reading what people had to say about it I just had to watch it. I watched so many episodes in one go at the end! |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| JoJo, Gintama, Hunter x Hunter now all three of them are in my top 3 |
| None because if I didn't like it, I wouldn't like it anymore the further on it goes or whatever people say about it. The anime would really have to get on my nerves for me to drop it. |

HungryForQuality said: I've been avoiding it since people say last third or fourth went to shit because the talent behind the show was stifled. Is that overblown or was it that bad? You're better off reading the manga for Kare Kano instead, but it's not like the anime isn't entertaining it's just inconclusive as it loses the plot near the end and runs out of ink. |

| Miss Koboyashi's Maid Dragon. I don't know why I dropped it, ig I was just bored of it.. A year later I went back and finished it. |
| Bakemonogatari. I just couldn't stand the first arc, Hitagi Crab. A friend of mine told me to keep going and I did...I wasn't disappointed. |
| @HopefulNihilist I enjoyed the backstory episodes alot I think they were the best things to come out of the season for me, but overall I think the show is just average. |
 |
| @HopefulNihilist Yeaaaah, the reason why I dropped it the first time wasn't because of the concept of the show. I loved to see how Arararararagi-san helped these girls with their problems. I just couldn't stand Senjougahara. Her whole character annoyed me so much that I had to drop the show ^^' In the later parts I somehow liked her (maybe because of the characters she interacted with, f.e. the snake or the con artist (spoiler free names ^^)). |
Neorobot said: solarzenith said: i dropped VE too, I feel the same, I could Not stay interested. did you end up liking it once you stuck it out?? curious if it's worth it I enjoyed the last few episodes alot more than the beginning half, but overall I think the show is just average (story wise). Violet Evergarden only have like 4 good episodes in the middle. Beginning is meh, ending is super rushed. (I bet I miss so much detail and worldbuilding because that last part conflict feel so half-baked) It ended up being mediocre, but the highlight of the middle part (even though super predictable as well) and animation did get it a little bonus point. Seriously I don't get the praise at all because literally only ep7~10 are good. Do you know what's the worst aspect of Violet Evergarden? The side casts. I can't even remember any of their names toward the end because each of them only have 1~2 episodes worth of screen time. This is a pretty bad indicator for a character drama show. |

| I dropped Madoka after 2 episodes because I thought it was boring and the character designs looked weird. Then my friend told that I have to watch the next fucking episode and now I have it rated 10/10 and it's one of my favorites. |

You're the victim of not following 3 episode rule back then . |
| Puella Magica I dropped it after 3 episodes when it aired because it was just cute girls and I was bored of moe and got back to it many years later... it ended up as one of my favorites. |

You're the victim of not following 3 episode rule back then . I rarely drop shows but it felt like there was absolutely no reason to keep watching it. This was all the way back in 2012 btw so it's been a while. |

fancyjasper said: 3-gatsu no Lion, Clannad, Hourou Musuko, Kill la Kill, Kiznaiver, No Game No Life, Re:Creators. I ended up dropping them all again, so now when i drop something it usually stays dropped forever. Don't know why, but this cracked me the hell up. What turned you off of 3-gatsu no Lion? I see it so widely praised. |
| Fate/Zero mainly but also fate as a whole and konosuba. |

I see it so widely praised. Believe me, i wanted to like it T_T But i tried to watch it like 3 times and couldn't get past the second episode every time. I think the nail was in the coffin when even my mum didn't want to watch more of it. Same thing happened with Honey and Clover, this authors works just don't click with me. There's no deep reason, i just didn't feel invested in the story or characters at all, so i didn't feel like watching more. |
| Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. I just didn't like the first episode, but my friends convinced me to complete it, and it's really good :P |

| Dropped Soul Eater 4 years ago, recently picked it up again and it's one of the greatest. |

Maybe you weren't into slice of life at the time? Definitely not. I've always been a fan of Slice of Life. Maybe it's because I didn't think it was that cute, and I also related to Miss Kobayashi a lot less than I do now.. |
| I dropped Cowboy Bebop and Honey and Clover, which I do intend to go back to eventually. But so far, nothing. If I didn't care for something, I haven't gone back to it change my mind. |

| I dropped Gintama after episode 2 or 3 because of my exams and never really had any motivation to keep watching it. However, I saw so many people on MAL praising the series, so I decide to give it another shot. Now I'm rewatching farewell shinsengumi arc for the tenth time. |
| Gintama. The first episode is godawful.Gintama is praised as the top comedy ever and is been rated above 8.5 for all it's seasons.I had high hopes for the show but the first few episodes fell flat.I dropped it after the first episode.Everyone on the Internet were singing praises of Gintama as the funniest thing ever.I made up my mind and watched the show.That's the best decision in my life as Gintama is mine top favorite anime.Gintama Banzai. |
| Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: found it vapid, non-creative and lacking impact. Returned after I saw people worshiping it. Didn't change my opinion much though, still the last episodes were fun due to Tohru's character development. Now I generally check out for three things - uniqueness, execution and writing quality in the first three episodes of an anime. Then I'll either watch it or put it on hold, so that I might come back later if it gets really good (I think those who have read the source material will have a good judgement on whether a series has a good adaptation). |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| I dropped Little Busters after the first episode because it looked like it was going to be a baseball themed show. Went back to it after reading high praise for the second season and now the series is definitely one of my favorites. I dropped 12 Kingdoms after one or two eps because it looked like a stereotypical shoujo fantasy with hot guys vying for the attention of a plain girl. Turns out it's one of the best fantasy adventures I've ever seen and not stereotypical whatsoever. |
 |
| I originally dropped Gabriel Dropout but then after countless Satania memes I gave it another shot and now I like it a lot. I also have kinda dropped Yuru Camp but I haven't started watching it again... yet. |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| I dropped the original HxH a lot of years ago because I wasn't really feeling it. Then I decided to try the remake after hearing good things. It was actually worse than the original. |
| Most recently, Hyouka. I watched a few episodes several months ago and dropped it because it was boring as hell. Picked it up again after seeing it in many favorites list. Yep, still boring. |
|
| This is an anime I dropped, but will return to and try to finish. Senki Zesshou Symphogear (I dropped it when s1 first came out. But in 2019 an Anituber I respect said his fanbase was recommending it so). I will get to it soon. |
