Reasons for Dropping
Anime Relations:
Hunter x Hunter (2011)
I try to watch at least a few episodes of a series to give it a chance and to figure out if I like it or not...the longer the anime the more episodes I will try and watch before I drop it to at least form an opinion on it. But this isn't always the case for new anime or anime I know for sure I am already really disliking after only 1 or 2 episodes I will probably just delete it from my list instead. For me it's easy to form an opinion on an anime even within the first few episodes.
Almost all high rated anime on my list are series I ended up liking even within the first few episodes, while the average rated ones are mostly ones that I liked a mutiple episodes in and ended up disliking later in the series or series that were just not for me. Lastly, low rated ones are mostly ones that I knew I disliked even a few episodes in...this was in my phase when I tried to complete everything I put on my PTW list lol.
If I don't like something I will drop it...simple as that. I used to try to complete everything but I decided that I am not a masochist that forces myself to finish something I am not enjoying due to some made up rules on the internet. Reasons for dropping a series can vary and be something teeny that annoys me to larger issues...I just found it boring (main reason I drop anime) or it wasn't for me, I didn't like or connect with the characters etc. To other issues such as the anime started out good but went to shit, pacing, bad adaptations, hating where the anime was headed etc. To petty shit like I just hated a character who ruined the series for me.
Sometimes I can finish a series I don't really like, other times I just can't and have to drop them. As I have gotten older my patience for trying to watch anime I am not really enjoying has gotten a lot worse and I am more picky when completing things. I may try to watch a lot of things to try to still find a good series but more often than not if it is not good I won't be completing it.
Basically if I find myself getting so bored of a series that I am not even paying attention to it, is usually when I drop it because why try to even watch something I cannot focus on when I can watch something I will enjoy? I don't rate dropped series because I feel like it is unfair to rate something I did not finish. I used to rate every dropped anime a 5 just because that was the average score and the series were not good or bad to me. However, I found it just messed up my mean score too much. I do not view all my dropped anime as bad, it's just something that was not for me and therefore I really just didn't enjoy it.
I try to watch many different kinds of anime just to give them a try even if I know going into it that I probably won't like it just to see if I might. If I don't they get dropped...which is why my dropped list is so large. Well it used to be large like close to 400 but recently I put a lot of my dropped series back on to my PTW list and On Hold list because I wanted to give them a second chance....why....idk just because??? Also I just kind of found myself dropping way too many series. Probably some that didn't deserve to be dropped...
