| I think that about 2-4 episodes is about right for a 12-13 episode series |
| I usually drop a show after the first episode. Sometimes, if I sense some promise, I'll force myself through it. It pays off sometimes (Hokuto no Ken, Kare Kano), but sometimes it doesn't (School Rumble, Hanasaku Iroha). |

| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| 4 episodes for an anime with 10~13 episodees 5~6 episodes for an anime with 24~52 episodes at least 9 episodes for a bigger anime |
 |
| 3 Episodes is generally my benchmark unless it's so bad I can't even get that far. |
 |
| One or two... I only drop after the first when I really hate it...doesn't matter to me how good it will get later. Good example would be Tanken Dryland at the moment. Didn't like it and hated the visual style so much. And I don't rate a dropped anime...no matter how much I actually watched of it. |
 |
| It kinda varies when it comes to me dropping animes. Sometimes I'll drop them after the first episode, sometimes I'll drop it about 1/3 of the way through and sometimes about 1/2 way. Usually my reasons for dropping vary. If the anime bores me to death or something better comes along...there are animes that I have considered picking back up whenever my currently watching slate slows down...well...it hasn't so far. |
| 3 to 4 episodes is my limit for 12 EP animes 8-9 episodes for a 24-26 animes |
 |
| I don't have a set number. I drop when I've had something On-Hold for ever and have absolutely no interest in ever continuing it. Or, in the cases of Bokura ga Ita or that horrifying show with the creepy pretty men trying to make the scary ugly girl pretty (I hate it too much to even remember the title), when the show makes me physically ill and I can't stand it anymore. I only got through one episode of the latter. Like I actually got a headache and it made me just want to get drunk and die somewhere. The hatred was that intense. |
onzeedge said: I have no qualms dropping a series within minutes of it starting. The argument "it gets better" never made much sense to me. Yeah, a TV show getting better than it's introductory episode(minutes) is impossible and absolute nonsense. There's simply no way for something you don't like to ever improve. |

 |
| from my dropped list about 3~4 episodes in is when i start dropping shows. you're probably a bit too generous by my standards. this thread has been made before i believe. it's on the first page |
 |
| about 3 - 6. but my drop list needs to be filled out. |
| I don't have a specified number.. it's just whenever I feel that it's really not worth continuing. If that's the first episode then it's the first episode. If it's later, it's later. For ones that I do drop on the first episode, if I hear/read really good things about it later on or after it's finished, I might go back and try it again. |
| When ever I feel that I'll never care about the characters or the story. I usually give it untill 1/3 or 1/2 the anime |
 |
| About 3 episodes at the very least; half the series at most |
 |
| 3 ep is more than enough time to waste on a piece of shit you don't enjoy... 1 ep if it's very obvious how shitty it is from the get go |
 |
| about 4-6 ep's |
 |
| 5 or more, but it really depends on how bad the anime is. :P If it's not that terrible, but not that good either, then I may watch the whole thing. |
| Depends on the anime, some of them start of horrible but then become amazing(Gunslinger girl S2 comes to mind, went from a 4 to a 9(8.9)). So i'd say it depends on the characters, if the plot is bad, the plot might get better. If the characters are really annoying I will drop it earlier. |

| usually around 3, most anime will have introduced characters, setting and plot by 3 episodes as well as give a tone of how the anime will play out. I usually don't drop anime but if I really object to it I will give it till episode 3 to redeem itself, if it hasn't done so by then it most likely means it just isn't my cup of tea and I'll move on. |
 |
| halfway but i dont drop anymore |

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 |
| I'll try to watch from 1 to 3 episodes, i'm if not hooked, then i'll let it go. |
 |
| Try to halfway, but sometimes I just don't make it. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| If the show is horrible its the first episode I don't care I just move on. |
 |
| Usually around three episodes for a shorter series (12-13 episodes), more if it's longer. |
| 4-6 |
| Did you say "nerd"? ---------------------- Not "nerd" -- "node". |
| about 2 - 4 eps |
| No specific number. |
| 5 if there's any sign of life. Sometimes even good anime take 3-5 to get going, to tell enough of the story to get anywhere. 1 if it's devastatingly boring. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the General Forum Guidelines. |
AlexSadist-sama said: No specific number. Pretty much this, I drop when I feel like it. You'd be surprised how many series I've dropped on the third or second to last episode. Lolwut? |
| 1-15 |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

| If on the rare occasion I think an anime is so bad I don't think I'll be able to complete it (when airing), or when it just doesn't interest me (not airing), then I will drop on the first episode, which I don't count as dropping. I have dropped only two shows, so I can't really generalize my behaviour for that too well. |
| 2-6 Depends. |
| Depends on how quickly I figure out I don't want to watch it. I will usually give a show at least 2 episodes, though there have been some cases where I don't even want to watch that. |
| 10 or less if 2-cour. 5 or less if 1-cour. |
 |
| I don't drop anime. There are a couple of anime in my dropped list and that's mostly because they were completely boring and I might watch them when I run out of watching the other 7,337 anime on this site. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| I don't have a set period of when I drop an anime. I drop when I feel it isn't worthwhile in continuing, this could be episode 1 or episode 100. |
| If it's really bad then generally 1 (or even part of one like 3 minutes in, Queens Blade managed to pull this off quite wonderfully) If it looks like it might have some merit to it I'll give it about 3 episodes If I end up watching more then 3 episodes then I'll generally end up watching the whole thing unless of course it starts pulling some shit later on that just makes me say "forget it" |
 |
| 2-4 unless atrocious. |
| 3. Sometimes halfway if i really can't decide to drop it at episode 3. A series would have to be really bad or uninteresting for me to drop it though. |
