Am I the only one who frequently drops anime?

I've noticed that my drop list is much longer than others (41 dropped compared to 109 completed). Personally, I don't really feel the need to watch a show if it doesn't appeal to me. I feel I can discern "quality" pretty quick and I generally try not to drop shows I think are well made, but if I just can't get into it then why continue? If I really feel it's worth watching later then it goes on the "on hold" list.

Aye.

You are not alone.

I drop anime easily. Mostly because my attention span is very low. If something doesn't interest me, then I drop it. I do this with video games too.

I wish I was more patient. :/

My dropped list would be much longer if I included every show I dropped within the three first episodes. And I suspect quite a lot of people also are excluding their early dropped anime.

Yeah I'm kinda similar... I have 61 drop to 217 completed...

I used to drop a lot because I found myself getting too bored etc... But then I upped my standards on what I will even consider adding to my lists... Now I drop less...

I have dropped a lot of anime this year as well. But, I just simply remove the anime I drop from my list since it's too distracting.

I don't think it is a bad thing by dropping anime that you don't like you can spend time watching better anime I have dropped quite a few anime some aren't even in my dropped list on MAL, cos I didn't even complete one episode

I only add things to my dropped list if I made it at least an episode before dropping it
it would be much longer if I didn't
I can also determine to some extent how much I will like something before watching it from experience, so I don't drop a lot because I know to avoid the things I'll probably drop

My dropped list is a combo of dropped/probably not interested in. 102 compl and 85 dropped, but I'm not here for the stats, just for keeping track of anime and plan to watch.

On hold = next in queue to be watched.

Yes it seems you are the only one on this site who has figured out how to place titles in the Dropped Section.

I think every sane person on this site drops anime (not me) so what kind of dumb question is that.

I used to have less free time. I would watch about 4 episodes and then it would be like 2-3 weeks before i could start the next episode, but by then I dont remember what happened so I dropped the anime. Its not so much I didnt like it, I just couldnt devote the time for it.

Now that I have more free time, I can start watching anime more frequently. I probably wont drop anything for awhile, unless its atrociously bad.

My drop list isn't too long because I rarely start stuff I'm not almost 100% sure I'll enjoy (or found entertaining in a way) But if, really, I start something I don't like, I'll not force myself to finish it.

It's only natural to drop an anime you do not find worth it, no one's choices are flawless, some people just make more mistakes.

I drop a lot, though I don't list it because I just don't care. It's pretty improbable for you to watch every anime ever created with new ones always coming out, so why watch what you don't like? Being a completionist is a personal choice; it's not like you get a cookie for every one you finish or something, so do what works for you.

Another, "am I the only one thread"

Course you are not. Though, I'm not like that I enjoy a lot of things, that is why I get excited when I finish an anime and start a new one. It's always fun for me, since even from the beginning, I have fun with it. Tha is why I am able to have this little drop in contrast to my completed and I plan to watch some of my drops in the future.

I don't drop much, but honestly my standards are pretty low :') I am pure romance/harem/ecchi trash and I will only drop something if I find it really boring (e.g. I just can't get on with Bakemonogatari- like I /know/ it's a 'good' anime, but nah). But overall I will stick things out- especially seasonals; if it's only one ep a week I can tolerate most things.

I only drop ongoing simply because they do not hold my interest and I just don't have time to waste like I did two years ago..

...Well that was sorta a lie I don't really drop I just delete from my watch list unless its really shitty then I do put it on my drop list just to make a point. xD

I don't drop anime a lot cause I will face the battle no matter what and never run.

Don't forget that you can criticize it when you finish it.

Stop watching trash and you probably will drop less.

The number of trashes have been increasing since 2017 that's true though.

I used to always try to finish shows I started, but I just don't have the time to watch everything I start anymore. I've dropped a lot of shows, but I've deleted a few that I just didn't want to keep on my list or never added them at all.

1,500 completed and 0 drops.

Not bragging or anything. I just have a bit more tolerance towards shows that don't appeal to me. I see all these people who have a lot of drops and I just think 'why are you even bothering watching anime if you find a lot of them not to your liking.' Most people will just drop a show for such petty or stupid reasons.

Nope, seems like you value time and would rather watch series that appeal to you, like me now of days.
