I usually give shows at least two episodes before I drop them. But a few I can think of that I did this with:

Clannad
Ah! My Goddess (had nothing against it, was just a little too boring)
Girls Bravo!

The new poke'mon series. I wanted to watch it to see if the series improved at all, but turned it off the moment the anouncer said "Ten year old ash begins his adventure..." Its NOT possible for him to be ten..not because its a 'anime' but because he even had a birthday in one of the movies lol.

I normally don't drop an anime until I watch maybe 3 episodes to give it a chance..
But yeah.. I dropped Yosuga no Sora, I felt like they tried doing to much with only so few episodes and caught me off guard with a couple of things that just made it worse.. Then it doesn't allow you to really get into anything because it's like every 2 episodes is a new arc.. It was just bleh.


this is the only show i dropped at first episode (even first 10 minuits i think haha) and i think we both dropped it for the same reason (and i don't care what happens after the first episode or that i gets better. the first ep ruined every hope i had for the show haha)

i even gave maken ki a few eps to redeem itself but allas it was just pure fanservice and over the top boobs... (good if you like that kind of thing but i don't)

or i dropped suzuka and shakugan no shana after the first episode. then picked it up again and realy liked the shows haha so yeah i'll try to give them some episodes.


I agree, I think we both know what we're talking about. lol
Yeah it's really a touchy area for many people and I'm not exactly a fan of it myself, however I try to give it a chance.. Because some do play it out well in some animes, but if they don't it's just a train wreck... Which it was, kudos for you for dropping it in 10 minutes, I wish I would have dropped it sooner as well. The way they dropped it on us was just awful and caught me totally off-guard so it just made it worse.

Agree with you on the other anime to. Don't watch animes just for fan service, otherwise might as well watch hentai! Some animes that are just fan service are just bleh. I'll check out Suzuka and Shakugan though, I've heard of them and had planned to possibly watch them but never bothered to try them. Will check them out for sure now though.

I really don't want to drop Gunslinger Girl, cause I hear it's really good, but the slow pacing of the first two episodes just bothers me here.

Oh boy...

Anime that I wish I'd like but I just couldn't be bothered watching a second episode:
Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto
Tetsuwan Birdy Decode:02
Pandora Hearts

Anime that made me go "ewww" because that the humour, stories, characters, directions were just not my thing at all:
Skip Beat!
Heroman
Hiiro no Kakera
Junjou Romantica


Others:
Mouretsu Pirates.
Some positive points, some negative ones, but I had enough shows to watch to not try more of this one.

Nyanpire The Animation.
Cat + vampire? Sounded awesome and very silly to me. But the humour didn't appeal to me at all.

Moyashimon.
I adooored the live action of that show so when I learned there was an anime going on, I squeed my soul out. Unfortunately, I didn't find the same vibe with the anime and I kept comparing it to the live show so I stopped after the first episode.


I really don't like to waste time with things I don't like so even though I try to give a show the "5 episodes rule", some times, I just can't be bothered. :)

I would never drop a show after the first episode unless it was Mars of Destruction bad. I don't think I will ever find a series that bad.


Same here. I haven't seen Mars of Destruction, so I'd give that a shot too.

If I get bored though, I might end up doing things like texting and other small things while the show is on.(lol I know that being sidetracked isn't gonna help me like it better)

I have "watched" many a show while doing other stuff. Sometimes (often) being distracted will improve the experience.

Recently I dropped Mobile Fighter G Gundam after 1 episode.

I didn't like the concept, so I started Gundam Wing instead. Watched 3 episodes so far and its much better.

I've dropped a fair amount of anime but the only one I've dropped after one episode was Code Geass, as much as I love CLAMPs work to pieces, Code Geass was the most boring thing ever, I was just falling asleep, I was like if I can manage to get through the episode I'll consider continuing but I just had to drop it.

Oh there was others such as Sailor Moon, too much crying enough said though I love magical girl animes. Azumanga Daioh, so stupid and annoying I couldn't watch it and Maria-Holic, the girl was too annoying with constant nosebleeds. I almost dropped Hack//Sign after one episode but kept with it thinking it would get better but by episode ten I couldn't stand anymore.

Dragon Crisis! - Couldn't stand the main female character and the plot sounded so stupid. I may actually pick it up again if I ever feel like giving it another try.

Toriko - Only watched this for the crossover with One Piece. Toriko actually looks great. Might watch this when the series ends, ceebs catching up. xD

Monsuno - Randomly watched this on TV. Looks like a Pokemon rip-off lmao.
