How long does it take you before you drop a show, pic unrelated I like to give each show 4 episodes
>>287621930I drop it when it attracts the homos on /a/. I've been practicing avoiding 4chan to actually have stuff to watch, but then I find myself unable to discuss stuff.
>>287621930>Oh Jesus Christ, the morons in charge of this anime are jumbling the plot around and rushing important story beats to insert their shitty, tone-deaf, CGI filler and didn't even bother to clean things up to prevent glaring plot holesNormally when I reach that point, OP's pic very related
If a short haired girl fails to appear within the first two episodes I drop that shit like Fat Man on Nagasaki
>>287621930the follow/drop model is uselessI usually watch a little of episode 3 or 4 and see if something catches my attention or imaginationthe vibe on the street also helpsif something stands out, I'll watch it all the way through from ep 1.
>>287621930Man what a shit adaptation this was
I usually know by the commercial break of the first episode. The problem is that many japs need a needlessly complex setup instead of just flooring it. Compare to lengthy LN titles.
If they had animated the scene where they fuck instead of whatever filler CGI nonsense they did everything would have been redeemed.
>>287621930Reading the blurb is usually enough for me.90% of shows are trash that don't even deserve one minute of my timeAlso, Otherside Picnic anime was trash.
>>287621930A couple minutes is all I need. Sometimes they don't last more than 10 seconds. When you know you know.
>>287621930I just don't pick up trash in the first place
>>287622235Lel. I've been reading the manga and it's just like that.
>>287621930When I get a feel for it. There are redflags for sure, but very few shows start with those.
If the /a/ threads about it suck, then the anime most definitely sucks too
>>287621930I never drop anything, it could be the worst thing I have ever seen, I watch the 10 seasons of it.>b-but whyI cannot leave things without finishing them, if you think that's harsh let's not talk about videogames, I never stop playing something until I 100% it.
>>287623391It makes sense.Why would a 10/10 Candian bishoujo want to fuck a 1/10 Japanese incel?
>>287621930No fixed number. It can be within minutes, it can be 3/4 the way through the series. Just depends whether it makes me want to watch the next (or the rest of the) episode.
>>287621930I try to stick to the 3 episode rule, but sometimes I stumble onto such garbage I make an exception.
Depends on if I can farm it for reaction images
>>287621930When I think that it's a chore to watch something (even on the second episode).
>>287622854This. It's like music. You'll know if you like a song 30 seconds in.
i usually watch the entire thing unless it's too bad, or just painfully dull and obvious.Hi Score Girl was the most recent thing i nearly dropped though.
>>287621930Only casuals drop anime they don't like
Im fine with finishing garbage but I can drop a show whenever. I guess good examples are extremely low budget when the manga looks great and unnecessary censoring - those I drop on ep 1
>>287621930I didn't read the manga beforehand, and watched the dub, and it was acceptable. No Hoseki no Kuni-tier masterpiece, but not a nuBerserk-level abomination either.
>>287621930I wish picnics were real
>>287621930Once I recognize the reason why people watch it and it doesn't suit me. I've dropped shows in the first minute, and I've given other shows the first season before giving up. On the other hand, I've watched absolutely dogshit shows because the premise was adequate and the main character didn't piss me off by existing.
>>287621930Usually if I ever check the runtime to see how much is left. I almost never do this because I have a generally good sense of time. But if I ever check, it's a sign that I'm fucking bored and basically immediately drop it
>>287621930if I see a prominent female character with big tits I drop it immediately
>>287621930The ninja cats arc is probably the most boring and pointless of the bunch. It's not actually funny and not interesting either.
>>287621930I drop the show when /a/ likes it.
