| If it's good |
| If I'm interested in the plot or some of the characters or if it was recommended by friends and of course if it's good/if I like it. I didn't drop any show yet but I paused some if they got too boring, if I didn't have much time or if some others showed up and I wanted to watch them. |
| Time is money, but money won't turn back the clock. |
| neat characters are what makes me want to keep watching/marathon shows. the show can have amazing art and plot but if none of the characters are interesting to me, i'll watch it at a snail's pace. I only really drop shows if they're long and I didn't enjoy the first five or so episodes, or if the show makes me feel gross. |

| I don't know I just do... :-? |

| I rarely drop shows. Even if it's bad i'll generally finish unless the show has no redeeming factors in my opinion. I of course will continue to watch anime so long as it holds my interest. I watch it BECAUSE it is different from western media. It is my tastes and for that I press on. |
| Well since my main reason for watching anime shows is taking a break from my hectic life, after about 2-4 episodes I can figure out if a certain show can do that or not :) I drop a lot of shows cause I put the character development and credibility over the actual plot. |

| I just finished Dennou Coil. The first say... ten episodes were interesting and very cute (which kept me going) though I didn't know what it would develop into so, cute is really what kept me going. the characters and animation, though I had doubts. it didn't seem to be developing much :( SO worth it, kicked in hardcore and turned into sheer awesomeness. SO glad I kept at it! |
| tbh, I really like anime with really awesome plots but, I guess as long as I enjoy watching it, I'm gonna watch it till the end. I don't just drop stuff. |
| 1. Animation 2. Pace I'm totally not good with bad artwork/animation. Good or bad is too subjective, though. If it hurts my eyes, I'll drop it. I like fast-paced anime, no fillers, straight to the point. Kind of the reason why I prefer watching movie than tv series. |

| I never really drop shows, but just put them on-hold, say I'll finish them someday, but never do. Anyway, I typically drop one when something in it pisses me off, like Planetes suddenly including a romance when it did not need it or Tiger and Bunny pulling out a dumb plot twist, which, while being well-done, I just knew would annoy me, and Robotics;Notes pulling off the whole "father who disagrees with his kid's dreams" thing, which is one of my least favorite plot points. Other times I just drop it as I lose motivation to watch it. |

| I tend to finish what I start, though some shows were harder to finish then others. See Death Note. Amazing first half, painful second half, and good ending. |

| I have yet to drop a show. I have a bad habit of seeing things through to the end even if I don't like them. The only thing I've dropped was the Kimi no Iru Machi manga and that was because I just couldn't handle how big of an ass the MC was. |
| If I don't find it almost impossible to watch, then I will watch it. |

You must love Bakemonogatari then? yeah I enjoyed bakemonogatari quite a bit. there're some very funny characters in that series. |

| I drop it if watching it feels like a chore. |

| I tend to always finish an Anime. Even if it's bad. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish any serie. |
| What's the point of asking? It just comes down to whether you think it's worth spending your time watching If I watch a horrible anime I get pretty pissed off wasting my time. So I drop the anime instead of people |
 |
| The only circumstance I will drop something/put it on hold in is if it is over 100 episodes and I have absolutely no interest in it. The only exception being Code Geass. |
| I continue to watch a show if it entertains me. I have yet to drop anything but I'd imagine if I did it would be because it lost any and all remaining appeal. |
 |
| I'm a completionist (although I don't know if I will be able to catch-up with Crayon Shinchan and Doraemon since I both watched those shows during my childhood). I watch and finish them so that I would be able to judge it properly as well as not to have regrets (except for wasting time if the show I watched was long and appalling but so far not happened to me...) |
 |
| The anime openings keep me watching if it's really good, if not than the characters |
Here's my anime list: |
| I don't know what makes me want to always continue to watch an anime :3, but if in exception the anime makes me want to throw my iPod really badly because of utterly bad areas, then I will drop it. |

It is one of the best shows in the past decade. The ending for me, is the best and most FULFILLING ending in any show that I have completed. What were your reasons for dropping it? I am really curious.... Looks like somebody doesn't appreciate the pointy chin. |
| I will watch it if I find the characters interesting or the story entertaining. I will drop it if they aren't or if I find the show too annoying or offensive. |

| how good it is in general |
 |
| If it has a somewhat unique plot -> If not, it has to have a good character -> If not, it has to AT LEAST blow some air through my nose if it is a comedy -> If not, drop that shit like a brick. |
| I'm a completionist, so if I start an anime, I'll probably finish it, unless the anime is super awful. With that said, some shows will take me much longer to finish then others... |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| When there are characters that I like or are interesting enough to bait me for more. |
| As sad as it may sound, some of my most enjoyable moments in my life came from watching anime so THAT'S why I continue to watch anime. |
 |
| As long as it has a good plot, not boobs, an actual plot (but boobs are nice either way), and good characters. |
 |
| The fact that watching something I've never seen before excites me. |
