| If i'm half way trough, I am forced by my conscience to finish it whether it's crappy/not. |
 |
| Meta-anime issues, but I don't generally pick things to watch that bring me no enjoyment at all. I still don't know how I managed to finish D. Gray-man. The things a person can do at the depths of boredom. |
| If I don't like the show, I'll stop watching it. It really is that simple. |
| My 'No Drop Policy' is absolute. It's a demonstration of human resilience and our ability to withstand exponentially increasing levels of shit. I also have OCD so I guess I really have a compulsion to finish what I start. Once I pick up a series, i.e. watch the pilot episode, it will be completed, although I may have to resort to self-mutilation and other forms of self-destructive behaviors to offset the pain caused by the viewing of such repulsively shitty animé series. By that token, I'm fucking trying to kill myself after picking up Prince of Tennis. I'm on episode 6. |
| Everything needs more fanservice. Especially real life. |
| I usually try to give every show a chance, since a lot of shows are slow to begin (like blood+ for example). If it doesn't get going about halfway through, then I just laugh about how bad it is for the rest of the show. :D In the end it's your choice whether to force yourself to watch it through till the end and think about how much it bores you, or find a way to enjoy it's stupidity. Anyway, it's best to watch crappy shows with friends^^ |

| I don't often find shows actually tedious to watch, and like I feel like I'm going out of my way to watch them, but when that happens, I feel like I shouldn't be defeated by the crapness of the anime, and so I try to watch it through so that I can beat it. I failed 3 times, but someday I might try and finish two of them. Not Beezlebub though, it's too long. |
| I used to force myself to watch series, but then I realised I don't have the time or patience. |

| Apart from Soul Eater on my drop list , I feel I gave the shows a decent chance to grab my interest. If a series is only like 12 episodes long I will very likely finish what I started (maken ki im looking at u o.o), but if its a long anime like hitman and the episodes are still painful to watch after the number of episodes of a short series(e.g. 12), then I drop it. Though there have been few exceptions like naruto, where I slugged through it. |
| Ugh, yeah it happens a lot. I always watch them, I don't know why. After watching 800 anime, no anime is good enough to watch, so I just stick with the crappy ones. |
| I persist on watching some bad shows in the hopes of becoming better. I don't usually enjoy Bleach, but I watch it anyways, hoping it'll get better as it ocasionally has the moments of awesome. Same goes for Naruto. |
| I only drop shows if they're extremely boring to me. They can have a great plot and amazing character with superb animation, but if it's not entertaining me enough to stay hooked for whatever reason I'll drop it. I try to watch at least three episodes before deciding if it's worth it or not. I just realised though that my drop list is growing rather quickly, so I made myself a promise to not drop any new shows this season... even it can get painful at times watching shows that are not only boring, but just utterly horrendous (like Diabolik Lovers. I swear it's the first time I've been gritting my teeth in frustration throughout every single episode) |

| Only masochist people keep watching a show they hate, I don't see other reason. |
I luv u |
| I drop shows that bore me or aren't to my tastes. The only show I considered crappy, but finished watching was Dragon Crisis. I had a thing for tsunderes at that time, hence I finished it. |
| A friend and I started ShoukoChan Anime T-shirts. We design modern and fashionable anime T-shirts you'd love to wear on a day out. Come check us out! |

| If you loathe something it's probably because it lacks something for you. I doubt anyone will find something to be "fun to watch" if it's "hated", those two don't go together. Also, I always finish my shows. Why? Because I always choose shows I like, if I don't like a show I still finish it because I never truly "hate" something. |

| Biggest plausible reason? The (false) hope that a show will get better because it is similar to a show you thought was absolutely fantastic. Other reasons?

| "So bad, it's good," perfectly describes why I completed SAO and Tari Tari. Also, in SAO's case, there was the added bonus of my being able to take part in a massive shit-storm. Accurately trash talking specific things is much more enjoyable than just yelling about how something sucks (although that can be fun, too). |

| There's many reasons. 1. It's easier for an anime to start out good and end up bad than it is the other way, it happens every season. While I won't say it's a lot but I do run into anime where it takes a while to really like it or even a rewatch to really like it. 2. It expands my scope. Only after watching a bad anime or an anime that does things that I don't like do I know and reinforce what I do like. Also watching a bad anime before watching a good one makes it better. - With this is also expanding my genre or type of anime scope. I take enjoyment in expanding them by watching shows from a genre I may not like much yet. And lately I've been watching shorts and music videos. No matter how much I dislike them, I can sit through 1 - 5 minutes easily. 3. Because I'm a completionist and don't want to leave anything unfinished. Even if I dropped an anime, I'd still be curious as to what happens next. I don't feel like I can move on until I see it, even if I know I will probably still hate what happens and will still end up hating the anime. 4. This kind of goes with the other one, but making my own judgement against it and participating in discussions. I like even talking about the things I hate in an anime, it's like venting. And I feel like to talk about the whole anime it's best to watch the whole thing, that way I can address everything. People often say you haven't watched the whole show so you can't say anything and dismiss people like that, but then if you finish it all, they say why did you finish it if you didn't like it, you're a troll and then dismiss you like that. I agree with the former, not with the latter. There's other reasons, InfiniteRufus had a good list in another thread. |

| I sometimes keep going for silly reasons and end up hating myself for doing so. More often than not I will drop something if I think it's bad or not enjoyable. I'm gonna delude myself with bullshit reasons like: I'm a completionist ( more like a masochist), it might turn to be good, I can participate in shit storms and be relevant in discussion ( that one is quite sad), it will make me appreciate the anime I consider good, it's so bad it's good ( never got this) I think all of those reasons are pure crap. Watching anime or doing w/e hobby shouldn't be a chore. |

| I had to go look at my anime list because I could not think of an anime off the top of my head. But yeah now looking at it I did persist through Clannad and Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi. With Clannad it was such a big deal and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, did not pay off. With Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi I thought it was going to be good because the first season wasn't that bad and that also did not pay off. Eh but now and days I am just getting so damn picky that I will stick around for three episodes and then drop it if I don't like it. |

| I really want to know how it ends. To see if it gets better. Like "Life" or "Free!" (no offense to all you Free! Swim Club fans). But nowadays I don't see the point in pushing myself to waste time on reading/watching something I loathe, so I try to drop it when I think it's getting ridiculous. Or sometimes, i keep watching it because it's so bad that it's funny. |
| since i already started it i may as well finish a show i hate |
