| i went 25 episodes before dropping One Piece, which is my farthest for anything before dropping. (in anime, but in TV it is The Walking Dead, dropped after 99 episodes of 45 min runtime TwT) what is yours ? also what was the tipping point as in CAN'T BEAR IT ANYMORE ? do you follow the "3 episode" rule before dropping ? |
 baby, you're the devil i know better than the devil i don't maybe i could stop, but i won't 'cause, baby, you're the devil i know |
| I dropped Pokemon Journeys less than 10 episodes in because it became obvious by then that they were using hypebait episode titles and plots by playing off of nostalgia from the past series. |
 |
| Percentage-wise, it'd be Keikenzumi na Kimi to, Keiken Zero na Ore ga, Otsukiai suru Hanashi.. The day that the last episode came out, I watched the episode before, finished it, then the final episode... I didn't watch it. Dropped it, since I grew sick of the low quality teen drama. Numbers-wise, Kimagure Orange☆Road. Yeah, I wanted to like this one. I really tried to push past the parts I didn't like, but by episode 22 of 48, I just couldn't take it anymore. I put on episode 23, got maybe less than a minute past the OP, then put the anime away for good, dropping it. Edited my post here just to say that, yes, it feels bad man. It feels real bad giving up on this anime, but it's just so much good held back by so much bad. |

| I guess Fairy Tail, watched like 20 or 30 episodes before dropping it for good. |
Luchipher-Zen said: oh good idea, next time i should do this :P lol im pretty sure a lot of us dont even enter many entries because we drop in 10 mins !!On the other end is Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road : dropped after 15 mins of first episode. if you dont mind, what bugged you soo much? |

| Probably black clover for me. I was in the army at the time and in what little free time I had I needed something to take the edge off, ANYTHING! And black clover was the best I could find at the time, I didn't want to watch anything good cause I was not in a mood to enjoy it, it needed to be easily digestible slop, just watchable enough to not kill me. Idk, maybe I am dissing black clover a bit too hard, its honestly not THAT bad... But yeah, once I left the army the circumstances changed and so I didn't need it anymore. I did end up watching around 70 episodes in the end. But actually, there is another series, that would be fairy tail. I don't remember how it happened exactly, I remember a lot of people were hyping it up as the new "big" shounen, and the artstyle was curiously very similar to one piece (in a way) which maybe gave me a false expectation that it was gonna be as good. I honestly never liked fairy tail, but somehow, I was self gaslighting myself that it wasn't so bad/ it would get good eventually. At one point I realized watching the show was literally like a chore for me, like it actually caused me physical discomfort. So I had this wild idea... how about not watching it? Lol, almost immediately it felt like a weight had been lifted, like I ripped out a parasyte from my intenstines or something. I don't know how in the world I grit my teeth for over 100 episodes watching that shit but I did. It was back at a time where I did not really drop shows for any reason. Prior to that I watched inuyasha another 100+ episode series that I low key hated but that one I actually finished, but nowadays I would definitely have dropped it much much sooner. |
| i watched 46 eps of yuyu hakusho, since i try at least to finish the tournament arc. I wish i had dropped it sooner i was just forcing myself at that point. I did like the opening lol |
| Never, because I just do the no-drop rule for some reason. Unless you count the Pokemon anime, but I'd like to just consider that as a really long on-hold anime lol. |
| Bleach. I watched 250+ episodes before dropping it. I never got to the point where I totally hated it or anything, but I was just really ready to be done with it. I think I skipped at least one or two filler arcs, but I don’t really remember anymore, so I don’t know the exact number of episodes I actually watched. Whatever it was, it was too many. I would have never started it in the first place if I knew how long it was going to be, but at the time, it was just another random anime I picked up to follow as a seasonal after the first episode aired, thinking it might be like 50ish episodes at most. The manga had only been running for a couple of years at that point, so there weren’t even any hints about how long it would be. I really regret spending so much time on this anime that I didn’t even finish. |
 |
| I watched Bleach until like half the way then dropped it (that's like around 160 or 180 episodes) to later move to read the manga... Which I also dropped after finishing the defeat of Aizen |
| I genuinely got like 40 episodes into soul eater and damn near finished it but chrona sucks ass, and after a while I couldn't take his wining anymore. Only reason I tolerated it so long was because the first 20-25 episodes were really good and held up. I also got 600 episodes into one piece before finally switching to the manga. It was better honestly. |
| ngl punpun was a bit of an asshole right wing extremist (chud 😔😔) GET A JOB DEG!  |
| 19 episodes. I was only 5 episodes away from completing it (the anime was Penguindrum). I very rarely drop things, and in some ways, I feel kinda bad since lots of people recommended it to me. But for some reason, everything about it seemed to annoy me and I just couldn't go any further. I felt like punching a hole through my laptop screen while watching it. I did end up watching the movie edit (so I guess in that regard, I completed it) but my opinion didn't change. |
 |
| Only thing I dropped was myself on the head when I was young. |
| I drop early than wasting my time nd invest that time in some other show. But if any show somehow manages to cross 5 or 7, I didn't drop any of them, at least till now. Also, I don't think there would be any difference, 'cuz I already watched almost big show like 100 or 100+ eps. |

| Gintama after 300ish episodes. I didn't laugh once but it was kinda watchable as a slice of life with quirky characters, until it started having too many serious arcs which weren't good either. |
| Wonderful Pretty Cure! 24 episodes watched. |
 |
| 57 episodes of Fairy Tail and 3 seasons of Attack on Titan. I wish I could get my time back. |
 |
| I started Re:zero season 2 part 2 before finally dropping it. I even watched the stupid movies... But I guess the worst is actually Attack on Titan, except that actually was good until season 4. |
| I first dropped One Piece four years ago shortly after the Straw Hat Pirates met Vivi (after 65 episodes if I recall correctly). But I restarted last year and I am caught up with Wano now. |
| Until The penultimate episode of an anime.. I just couldn't bother anymore |
| Surely Pokemon, I was a kid so I don't remember how many episodes I watched before growing out of it, but I guess at least 100, maybe over 200. |
*kappa* |
| 25 episodes of Boruto: The Next Generation. I was just too bored with it. Percentage-wise it would be 22/26 episodes of Starry Sky but this was also a shorter show with 11 minutes per episode. |
| I got 10 episodes or there abouts into Witch Hunter Robin. This show moved at the slowest pace, finally something crazy happened, it finally peaked my interest. And next episode reneged everything. Nobody died in that mass shootout I just watched. Might as well have been the main character waking up from a crazy dream. It was beyond disappointing. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Yuno (11/26 EP) and Berserk (13/26 EP)* (*watched together with a friend. While I've ruled out other anime for this reason, I'll make an exception because companionship and compromise were not the reasons I endured.) [Completing the entire Zombieland saga and vowing never to watch a sequel doesn't count, does it? (12+12/24 EP) ] "do you follow the "3 episode" rule before dropping ?" - No. I watch until I have a feeling for the writing style and do not believe in the authors/producers ability to come up with something good later on. Usually 3-9 episodes. |
| "I don't know everything, I only know what the internet knows." - Definitely not best girl. "To ask is a moment's shame. Not to, lifelong." - I quoted with a posed look. |
I watched up to the 10th episode of the 3rd season of Tensura which is probably the 58th episode(I guess) the 1st season was really mid but I felt that there was some potential in this series then the 2nd season felt like a shitshow(especially that 2nd half). With all the hype around season 3, I thought I would give it a chance only to be slapped in the face by CEO board meetings. Still, I thought that all this boring crap should have a massive payoff considering all the hype created by the LN readers. Still, when I watched the so-called "payoff", it finally dawned upon me that the LN readers of Tensura were nothing more than a group of useless basement-dwelling morons who thought of themselves as the MC of this horribly written power fantasy. |

| I watched 105 episodes of Fairy Tail before dropping it |
| When I will drop a series, I will tell you. |

Itsuki >  |
| Yuu Yuu Hakusho with 40, I don't remember why I dropped it. |

ame said: Cielord said: When I will drop a series, I will tell you. how do you do it ? like how do you enjoy every anime ? I don't enjoy every series, I am just a completionist. |
| Pokemon at just over 100 episodes. I just grew out of it |
 |
| I watched 17 episodes a Couple of Cuckoos only to realize I was confused throughout the whole show and it wasn't gonna go anywhere |
 |
Alphabott said: YOU WENT THAT FAR ?? like did you ever think if you pushed a little, you could finish it?i watched like 230 episodes of bleach before dropping it. I wanted to try it but i was watching it wayyyy to fast and it ended up ruining the show for me. I know its a good show but i had to drop in the end although ill probably pick it back up again one day |
baby, you're the devil i know better than the devil i don't maybe i could stop, but i won't 'cause, baby, you're the devil i know |
| I'm not that masochistic. I dropped One Piece after 908 episodes already. My fastest drop was just a few seconds. |

| @Nemo_Niemand I think my fastest drop was Witch Craft Works. I started the anime, seeked to every moment Obama said something in the first episode, closed the episode, then deleted it. I think it took less than a minute total. |
|
| I hardly drop any anime so far as I'm kind of a completionist. I usually put it on pause or hold. |
