I dropped Naruto Shippuden because of the fillers. GOD DAMN YOU STUDIO PIERROT!!!


I know I'm stupid, but if I hadn't watched them all, I wouldn't had seen episode 101 or the one where Shino is laughing ^^

To this day, I refuse to watch TMOHS, simply because the Episodes are not in chronological order, and I am too lazy to decide how I should watch it.

I watched it in chronological order and quite strongly regret it. I bet it would've been a lot more interesting otherwise.

Honestly.....
The stupidest reason why i refuse to watch certain anime.....

-I have a thing of not watching certain popular anime. Especially those that were good enough to get to America.

-I have a pet-peeve when it comes to this occurring phenomenon. When people start calling themselves anime lovers when they only watch Anime available to them in Adult-swim and other channels....

- For example
"O I love Anime!."

"What Anime's have you watched?" I asked

"Naruto, One Piece, Death Note, Code Geass, Bleach"

(You guys know what I mean........)

* I know its ridiculous that I don't watch certain anime because of that. But I really don't want to be a poser anime lover because I am a genuine one.

*I know its pretty mean and stupid of me and I'm sorry. I really am.

No offence to people like that, but I really want people such as those to "broaden their horizons" so to speak. Because there is so many good ones out there.

Well we got an Anime Hipster over here. Well don't stress it, I feel the same (as explained in my profile). Although Anime that has been brought over to North America or has been dubbed are pretty good, there are some really amazing Animes that most 'Anime-Watchers' (as you have described) have never heard of.

Hmm, for me its a bit different. I'm more annoyed at the people who think they're cool because they download most of the new seasons shows and therefore more "up to date" than you silly dub watchers who they claim aren't "true" fans. Then I ask them how they liked Rurouni Kenshin or GTO or LotGH. Response: "What's that?"

But I suppose I'm not perfect either. Although I like trying out all genres, if a certain show becomes TOO popular or everyone in my circle of anime friends has seen it I instinctively lose interest in it. Bad habit of mine :(

If an anime is about a couple developing their relationship, i don't like it when another character is introduced solely for the sake screwing up what the whole series was building up to, but i have't dropped a series for this reason

Just let the two be together in peace!! DX

Can't get through Utena without banging my head against the desk or covering my ears because of the bad music. Might try it again since I watched all of Mawaru Penguindrum.

Dropped Lovely Complex because the idea of a short dude and a tall chick just wasn't appealing.

Manned up and watched Brotherhood though, and never regretted it.

Wait wut? Utena had bad music? Since when? I still can't get some pieces of music from that series out of my head several months after watching it.

I watched Clannad because I had a dream about it that I should watch it or something and my parents were ignoring me later that day so I figured if I watched something sad and started crying they'd noticed me.

I watched it.

I cried.

They still ignored me.
Dont touch me I'm in despair.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

oh

well in that case just try not to think about the fanbase when you watch it

many of them could be teasing you, like me

plus, I've only seen the prequel film (Conquest of the Stars etc.) and one episode of the OVA series but I'd say it's worth it

and fandoms are never a good reason not to watch something

@Slurpentine

You should probably watch LoGH: Overture to a New War and then watch the OVA from episode 3 ownwards (since I've heard that Overture is better representation of the first two episodes).
