Whenever I drop an anime it's usually for a good reason examples One Piece is a great shonen anime but for me it's too long so I stopped watching it, Valvrave the Liberator to me came across as a generic mecha anime so I dropped it, I dropped SAO because I didn't like the direction it was taking in the 2nd season. However Deadman Wonderland is the only anime that I dropped for no good reason. I was really interested in it and liked it when it now came out in 2011 and I would watch a new episode every week but for some reason I just stopped watching it , can't remember what episode I stopped at and don't really have an interest in continuing it.

I have ended up stopping watch many a show because something else came up while watching it, and then I forget to go back to it.

I'm sorry Monster and Legend of Galactic Heroes! You're fucking awesome but you're so hard to get back into after long absences! I love yooooooooou!

I dropped Code Geass for basically no reason, I didn't like the character design or how Lelouch acted...that was it, and no I don't want to pick it up. Leave your flame war for someone who cares.

Also Girls Bravo because I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

I actually have no idea why I dropped Mirai Nikki, I only watched the first episode and Yuno Gasai wasn't even going insane in that episode.

That's a good reason to not start an anime, not to stop in the middle.

I usually never drop anime and the only ones that I have dropped are Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi and Yosuga no Sora. I would say I had a good enough reason for droppong both. I had NO IDEA that Yosuga no Sora would have brotherrXsister like that and the website I watched it at failed to say how it was ecchi. I regret not cheking on MAL first. I dropped Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi because I know it would be that borin , unorigonal, already seen plot; I also didn't like the moe looking girls.

I normally can't drop anything cause I'm a completionist unless the show has a Sasuke or a Shinn or a Prussia in it (aka a character I hate so much their very presence makes me unable to continue) but I dropped Kyou Kara Maou! for no reason whatsoever I don't even particularity hate shounen-ai or anything :/

Yeah but it would take up too much of my time. Bleach and Naruto are easier to manage for me because they have a lot less episodes

It's still in the middle of watching and like I said, isn't that something you think about before starting.

Naruto has like 60 episodes less than One Piece and Bleach is half filler.

If you subtract all the fillers away from Naruto (including every episode past episode 135 I believe it was, when Naruto left the village to train with Jiraya) and from Shippuuden, then that'd widen the gap even more.

As for Bleach, nobody watches the fillers anyway.

When I first started watching One Piece I didn't realize it had so many episodes. I am up to date with both Bleach and Naruto so it's easy to continue them but if I start back One Piece it would take me really long to catch up. Also I have heard One Piece doesn't have a lot of fillers even though it's so long so I wouldn't be able to skip a lot of episodes to catch up.

Yes it would but I'm talking about with fillers as most people do watch them. And a 60 episode gap isn't "a lot less".

Most people I know skip the fillers including me. There is really no point in watching all the fillers before Shippuden.

I watch Naruto non-Shippuden filler. It give more characterization to a left over character.

Even though Naruto has a buttload more filler than One Piece, i find One Piece drags out each episode more with unnecessary beginning of ep recaps, camera panning and repeat of scenes (like say luffy charging at someone but you see it from 24398502 angles).

And one other thing is because in my country when Naruto is still mainstream at that time they stream at least two episode per day everyday.

Zetsuen no Tempest. My reason you ask? One of the MC had an earring on and it slightly bothered me(no that wasn't the first time I've seen a character with jewelry/earrings on so I have no fucking idea why this bother me the way it did) Anyway I do plan on completing this show sometime in the future. Hopefully by then I gotten over my fear of semi-attractive MC wearing earrings.

like this for a example, but I didn't have this issue when I first watch this. I dropped it because it is a horror comedy why in the heck it has that on there?

And. Other example is Eureka 7. Because I don't like wimp main characters, and the dub is abysmal.

Not really to me. Because I can't really stand Ringo's voice that I have to drop the show. That's the one of the reason I don't like the show.

Maybe something you should have checked. You worded that weirdly, you made it sound like it was

"Yeah but it would take up too much of my time. Bleach and Naruto are easier to manage for me because they have a lot less episodes"

You saying a lot less episodes makes it sound like you are talking about their total episodes. It doesn't really make sense if you were already caught up to them. And you've already finished Bleach how is it now easier to continue? And you're caught up with Naruto too. You had to catch up at one time, you didn't start there.
So you watch anime just to catch up? The fun is in the journey, you don't have to speed through. You would miss the nice fillers that One Piece actually has.

Most people I know watch the whole anime. There is a point, for enjoyment, to see the side characters get more screen time, to actually be able to say you watched the whole show, etc. The only really bad filler is in Shippuden.

That's a good reason to not start an anime, not to stop in the middle.
Well, you don't have to finish an anime to enjoy it. If tomorrow I decided to start Detective Conan but didn't care to stick with it, what's wrong with that? Why shouldn't I bother watching it at all if I will enjoy the bit that I've seen?
When did I ever say you did have to watch all of it. Who said anything was wrong with that? This is a totally different situation. He's saying that he dropped it because it had too many episodes while I'm saying that it's better to have looked at before. Do you disagree with that?

There's numerous sports anime that I've given up on simply because I don't care for sports... a lot of the sports animes don't even make it to the dropped list... they just disappear. Although I have found a few exceptions :D
