What I mean is when you have finished watching a anime, and then you feel like why did I watching it? Probably you have already give up in first episode or later, I have regret so many times in many anime’s I have watched, but I still continue watching it I’ve it was bad idea, because I feel like I want to watched until the end no matter what, and sometimes many anime gets better and sometimes not, I’ve it was painful to watch it until I finished it, I still want to do it, I am one of the fewer people out there, who actually finished the series no matter how bad it was, that’s deserve around applause XD ^^

How do you do or feel about it?

Well, it's quite common for me actually. But I guess I'm so invested in this hobby, that is not really a bad thing to watch something I consider it bad. If anything, it makes you more knowledgeable of the media, so I don't really see the point of dropping something. And you can always take it slowly anyway, you don't need to binge things you don't like; 1 episode is basically 20 minutes of your life, doesn't seem like much to me.

Not really, I’ve watched some really bad shows but I don’t really regret watching them at the end.

Not really. I mean sometimes it feels like a waste of time but you still get things out of bad shows so it's whatever.

Same as long you get some sort of enjoyment out out it, but may feel disappointment though depending on the anime you've just watched.

The biggest regret is watching Re:Zero. Oh boi, I didn't finish season 2, but that was a gigantic waste of time. I learned the hard way that dropping anime quickly and for any reason is important for one's mental health.

The only anime I've watched that left me so disgusted and disturbed that I wish I could unsee it, erase it from my memory, is Overlord Season 3.

Yeah, a bitter regret. Why in the hell did I waste my precious time on Bleach, Fairy Tail and Naruto Shippuuden? Why have I watched 908 episodes of One Piece before finally dropping it for good? Damn.

I regret watching demon slayer and I only do it because I like to criticize it, and when I do, I'd know what I am talking about..

Classroom of the Elite.

 It's the only anime I've seen where I gained absolutely nothing from it. I could at least say there was one or two things which were novel, interesting or likable about other bad shows.

first thing to come to my mind was overlord. it was so disgustingly boring yet i watched like half of the season or sunohara-sou no karinin-san which too was extremely boring and i hated half of the cast yet i watched the whole damn thing.
i guess ill say island too though that was because the adaptation was garbage so i wish i didnt watch it as it has spoiled me some things for when i play the VN

Gundam is a series you will regret watching since it will wipe your bank account with a plamo addiction. Also way too much of the franchise isn't even available to stream and most of the aus are like dead. The franchise itself is solid

Spy X Family's high ratings are like 99% media hype vs actual proper storytelling or witty humor.

regret watching bleach, its so good I wish I could unsee it and watch it again for the first time and finish it right before I die so that it could be the last piece of media projected into my eyes before dying

Yep. I've definitely felt that way. Several times. The most recent being this piece of crap right here  (that I completed yesterday and only survived finishing it by watching it on 2x speed because it was absolute f-ing torture to watch. And I've never watched an anime on 2x speed before, but it started to tank around halfway through and I was stupid and didn't want to drop it when I'd already finished half the anime). I should have just dropped it an saved myself the torture.

yep I frequently feel that I shouldn't have started a series but can't bring myself to drop it because on how highly acclaimed it is in the community, it's not that bad to be worthy of dropping, or i just feel like i should finish whatever series i started watching
