Why? Do you need closure that bad?
Nah, if that's what I wanted I could just search the internets.

I simply decided not to have any anime on my Dropped list, even if that includes watching shit like Amaenaide yo!!, Blade, Dog Days and Code Geass (sorry, I hated it).
Some anime actually got better after a while (like Haruhi Suzumiya), but most just stay shit.
Heh, at least it teaches me how to appreciate actual good anime. ^.-

oh god dude, i feel so bad for the immense amounts of horrible writing that are about to go into your head, especially code geass R2, oh man i felt dirty for weeks, and i at least liked season 1, you hated that one, your going to despise R2

If people here could grow up we wouldn't have posters making off topic one-liners or tangents that could be confused with trolling. There's nothing new to see here. Some people will use every chance that get to bag on anime they don't like.

why is my point, my most hated anime of all time is rumbling hears yet i try to avoid ever mentioning it because the mere thought of how bad the show was puts me in a horrible mood, like this may be one of 3 times ive ever mentioned that show on here, 1 of them was a recommendation cause it fit the criteria for what someone was looking for, why would people want to talk about how bad a show was, if it was so bad then we should stop bringing it up and move on to something actually good so we dont leave a foul taste in our mouths

People want to talk about bad shows for the same reasons they want to talk about good shows, a couple of reasons being to express their opinion and find people that can validate that opinion. Also some people think of quality more like a barometer which means there are varying degrees of both bad and good. Some of those degrees of bad don't put people into bad moods or leave enough of a foul taste in their mouths to make them not want to talk about the experience.

It's fine if you don't want to participate in such conversations but claiming to not understand why others do want to is a sign of immaturity.

I watched Clannad. All of it. After Story, alternate endings, the whole damn thing knowing it was not the kind of anime I would view for enjoyment. I watched it in an effort to see why so many people are so crazy about it. I still don't get it's rabid fan base. I'm not saying it's "bad." I'm saying I, that is me personally, have grown to hate it.

Yeah, i can't help but think some people are confusing 'bad' with 'anime I didn't like'. I'd hardly call something like Rumbling Hearts a 'bad' series, in fact I thought it was quite good.

It's still entirely your own opinion whether or not something is good or bad.

and such opinion can be formed by using the opinion of others. Of course using others' opinion in this way requires trust, belief, and the acceptance that someone other than yourself is capable of forming an opinion that can be agreed with.

wait its immature to keep my opinion to myself, never heard that before

i feel like most people myself included rag on bad shows to rub it in the faces of those that liked it acting like we have something to gain out of it, dont lie we have all done it, i know i did it with school days but i try to keep it to myself if i can all possibly can

I watched school days because of the negative attention and friends telling me how terrible it was. Now after watching it I wouldn't classify it as extremely bad, but it does answer the OP. I would watch a show if I encountered extremely negative feedback just to satisfy my curiousity.

Where in my comment did I say anything about keeping an opinion to yourself. My conclusion said it is the lack of understanding that other people are not you and will not hold in their opinion just because you do.

often many times i end up watching an anime that my some of my friends or ppl think is extremely bad but turns out i fucking loved it.

but occasionally when i watch an anime that myself i think is extremely bad is probably becuz i wanna see why or to find evidence to prove why its bad to troll my friends :3 (for example c cubed, that shit was so bad and such a waste of time but i wanted to troll all the fan/school service and ecchi harem loli stereotypes)

Sometimes, but it never hurts to be curious of what other types of animes there are rather then the ones you watch all the time, you never know you might find something really good or something really bad that makes your head hurt.

For sure, the "so bad it's good" genre is extremely entertaining. Garzey's Wing for example :P

Yes, I would. I would try and judge it for myself. Even if I could just enjoy it as a "so bad it's good" anime or even just laugh at the crappyness of it all.

However, if it was bad enough to bore the hell out of me or I got distracted really easily, I'd just drop it. I'd try and force my way through it, but usually that doesn't help things.

One bad anime I see mentioned frequently is Mars of Destruction, which is the only bad anime I currently plan to watch.

(If I supposedly have other bad anime in my PTW list, I guess they will just be a surprise.)

If it's a one episode OVA or something like this (hello Mars of Destruction) sure. As many people have said, it can be incredibly entertaining to watch a really bad show and just make fun of it. Even more so with more people watching.

But an actual series with 12+ episodes? No. My time is too precious for stuff like that.

Can't know if something really is a piece of shit beforehand ... check MAL ratings? yeah right. Many refuse to rate anything below 7, so no matter how you look at it, you will at least start many shit shows and watch a few episodes, regardless of whether you check up on a show beforehand or not.

See, this is actually the good thing about the ratings inflation on this site. When a show is so bad that it manages to get a rating below 6 even on MAL of all places, you know it REALLY sucks.
