As the title says. 

For me it's Kill la Kill. I dropped it after 5 minutes  after releasing that it's a studio Trigger's anime.

Hmm... Maybe Upotte, Asobi Asobase, or Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama

Some characters were just too annoying. I couldn't finish the first episode.

On episode 1:

Nisekoi
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child
Engage Kiss
Saihate no Paladin
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia (I think I would give it another chance)

This season:
Ningen Fushin no Boukensha-tachi ga Sekai wo Sukuu you desu

but what else you dropped besides seasonal anime. everyone drops 4-5 seasonal anime after 1 episode, so i wanted to know something different.

The Reflection Worst show I have ever seen, I struggled even to finish the first episode. Looked bad, sounded bad, edited badly, bad premise. I don't know what the hell they were thinking.

Nisekoi and Tasogare Otome were no seasonal when I watched/dropped them. Because Nisekoi's mc seemed annoying to me. the plot of a guy confused with his feelings and making multiple girlfriends or something feels weird to me.

But I don't really remember why I dropped the later one. That's why I want to try it again.

There's also a few non seasonal drops but they weren't on episode 1 some are on 2 and some on 6-8

Mahouka Koukou no Yuutousei: The Spin Off of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei but with Miyuki's perspective and she being the main character

JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken; A few years ago, when I saw that many people loved JOJOS, I decided to give it a try, but before I started it, I wasn't convinced and as soon as a character appeared, I closed the browser tab.

Clannad Movie; I don't remember why but it could be the animation and the absurd narrative that I remember hearing at the beginning

Fastest drop I ever did was Nana once I quickly grew apathetic to the main heroine.  That took around 9 minutes.

Probably One Piss after 30 seconds

5 years I binged the whole tedious series in 4X(Over 600 Episodes) then promptly switched to the Manga which was surprisingly smaller

Dropped quite a few anime after the first episode. Like action harems or some isekai that I feel aren't going to go anywhere...

I didn't see it on my dropped list but the one where the mc has to arouse the girls so they can better pilot the mecha. 90 seconds, heavy censorship, and I feel like I had a better application for this premise and it was wasted as a flimsy excuse to get the erge going

I know there have been more than a few but I couldn't really remember them, because I often never update those stuff onto my list. I think I watched Durarara for half of first episode and dropped it, and I don't think I even updated it. It actually happens quite a couple of times.

I have like two dropped shows in total, one is Promised Neverland s2, i tried it til half the cour and then the, idk, 4th deus ex machina in a row conviced me it really wasn't worth it. The other is the Villainnes show from last season, i gave it the three ep rule then dropped, generic isekai bullshit. I don't mind watching BAD (as in really bad) shows and i don't like to drop especially when we're talking about just 1 cour, the problem for me it's when it's really generic and boring, if it's cringe or stupid i could even have fun watching it (like the Otome one from the summer season, it was so dumb it hurt my brain but i had fun specifically for how dumb it was)

Pop Team Epic after the first episode.

I just feel this series just works better in the manga format. None of the jokes really worked for me and it was a little too chaotic for me. Maybe it got better later on, but I wasn’t really impressed with that first viewing.

Boruto. Dropped it after the 1st episode.

As someone who grew up watching Naruto, watching the new generation was just utterly frustrating. Most of the OG's got nerfed and the fighting isn't as thrilling as it used to be. I'm sure it's a good one to some, but for me, the story ends when Naruto became Hokage. I'll just imagine that the new gen was just a bad tsukuyomi.

only technically dropped one thing, ig: fairy tail. took 2 episodes and gave up. i feel like if it hooks you any longer than 5 episodes, there's no reason to drop if it's under 50 episodes.

I dropped 8 shows on ep 1, just because they were boring, while also having nothing that intrigued me.

the only one that had some elements that I did find interesting was  The Faraway Paladin, which I would have probably picked back up again in dub, if the final score wasn't getting lower every week.

like you can't put trust in scores, but If a series I already found boring is getting worse according to it's watchers, then that's probably a sign to not give it a second chance.

I've only dropped two animes: devilman crybaby after 5 eps and dr. stone after 6. I dropped dmc mainly because I didn't feel attached to the characters, which is kinda important to me + I didn't really like the events/story. I might just pick it up again tho, since I've seen a lot of people say positive things about it

This season it was Kubo-san Won't Let me be Invisible.. unbelievably ugly, low effort characters and Im sorry, blackmail is not entertaining, okay, interesting, or a worthy plot device for a generic pretty chick to make an ugly mc who is drawn like a stick-figure to act like a string puppet. 
It didn't attempt to tell any story anyway. There was no narration, no way to relate to the character, no backstory, it was just high school with a Mr Potatohead teacher, annoying high-school anime music, and dumb shit happening. How anyone squeezed 12 episodes out of a lemon that dry is beyond me.

I don’t really drop anime because I try to pick ones that I have a strong feeling I’ll like. But I would say The Promised Neverland season 2 at 3 episodes. I never read the manga but I heard people say that they cut out pretty much 80 percent of the story and it was just a jumbled up mess of an adaptation.
