What makes you drop an anime immediately?
You first.
Unless you're implying character designs are enough.
Then okay.
If it's done by KyoAni.
If /a/ likes it
>>144625136
You can't drop what you never picked up.
>>144625154
All anime by KyoAni follow the same shitty formula. Prove me wrong.
>>144625081
poorly done CGI
it's so uncanny valley for me that it LITERALLY makes me sick
the most I was able to put up with was a little over half an episode of God Eater
>>144625106
Why me first? I guess if I had to pick one thing, it'd be when an anime goes from an interesting premise to a watered-down slice-of-life gimmick.I dropped FSN after a few episodes once I realized this was about to happenI actually love pic related's design though
memes
>>144625081
Amnesia arc = instant drop
The voice actors not matching what I had in my head.
>>144625081
generic moe as fuck character designs. I won't argue if Clannad's the greatest love story ever told, since i haven't seen it, but damn am i turned off from even watching it. it's also why i'm not this close to ever playing neptunia.
in a similar vein, try-hards character designs. not just limited to edgy shit, but stuff you get off most sci-fi VNs. something along the lines of Blazblue.
>>144625187
Not all CG ban be like Toy Story.
>>144625081
Abuse of cost cutting techniques. If you can't make it through the first episode without using a dozen ways to avoid showing things that would be more difficult or time consuming to animate, I'm watching something else.
one gender cast
>>144625081
My trinity of dropping a show:
-If the plot doesn't go somewhere.
-If the Mc is a fucking pussy.
-If it turns into a yank fest over a main character, or the villains/supporting character are retarded.
I don't drop anime.
If the characters have same-face
Not anime but I got decently far into a scifi manga (whose name escapes me atm) until the MC's female friend suddenly died but then next issue was there like nothing happened. Turns out it was completely different character and MC was just friendly with both
>>144625187
God Eater wasn't CGI though. Aside from the Aragami.
>>144625424
Heres a list of studios you can and can't trust.
>>144625081
The main characters are in high school.

shonen
If father figure fucks her daughteru. I drop it in disgust. Happened with that anime whne i heard that little girl and his caretaker end up marrying.
If it bores them.
it it becomes horribly generic with no reddeming value.

I dunno if I'd call it an instant drop, but when the show prioritises being cute over everything else.
I gain nothing from this because I unfortunately don't find the average anime's definition of cute to be cute at all.

Daily reminder that anime literally for fujo =/= fujo pandering anime
>>144628614
Me too but that's literally NEVER EVER tier. I'm not even sure if Samus would make a good protagonist given how poor/inconsistent her characterization has been whenever its come up. Maybe an OC donut steel protag whose slightly in love with her?

>>144625184
Prove yourself right, dumbass.
>>144625184
I agree with >>144629604 , the burden of proof is on the one who makes a claim.
Unnecessary death.
>>144629644
Not on 4chan though.It's just a stealthy way to get recommendations of course
Which is why telling the other who makes a claim without proving it to go chock on a rotten cat dick is an acceptable thing.
>>144629751
What if it's done for (possibly unintentional) comedic effect?
>>144629785
If it's a comedy series and it makes me laugh, then it's no trouble. But when it's a nice action series or something that adds in completely left field death for the sake of drama, it's fucking dropped like a hot potato
>>144625579

>>144629818
You mean like TTGL did?
>>144629948
Yes, I did drop TTGL for a while after that episode. But I finished it a few years later.
Any anime that opens the first episode with boob grab/pantsu flash then its not even worth watching if they're using shitty cliches like that still.
>>144629997
Bakemonogatari was good though.
>>144629984
I did the same but I think that's the typical reaction. Do you think it was a bad call by the producer to make that plot choice?
>>144630013
lol
>>144630013
Bake came out in 2009 which it was kind of not annoying and still fresh.
When studios use it in 2016 still its just not worth the hassle.
>>144629984
>>144630043
Maybe if you're 14. Anyone could see his death coming and it's clearly an essential part of the narrative. You actually thought Simon was just going to be a pocket bitch the whole show? The only actual curveball was the gap between the two arcs.
>>144629997
In retrospect I'm glad my friends sat my ass down and made me watch a few episodes of SD. Otherwise I would have dropped it immediately
>>144630084
I dont care. I don't do death in anime.
>>144630084
It was the first anime I ever watched so yeah I was admittedly caught off guard.
>>144630121
What a little bitch.
>>144630121
That's cute
>>144630125
That's fair. TTGL would actually be a perfect first anime for young kids if it wasn't for the death and the heavy fanservice.
>>144630121
>can't handle deaths of some fictional characters

>>144630121
I would actually recommend watching all of Watanabe's shit. None of his main characters die in his shows except in maybe terror in Tokyo tho I haven't seen it
>>144625081
>wont kill the badguys
>>144630272
So what? Most anime is shit. I'd be surprised if there's actually 50 good anime. I mean you can find 50 great movies and probably 50 good tv shows so why can't you find 50 good anime?
>>144630272

That is literally the /v/ motto.Sorry, I was being tongue-in-cheek and wasn't trying to upset anyone
>>144630554
/v/ is literally the opposite of that. All they do is whine and complain about the most pointless shit.
>>144630753
Not really, modern videogames are shit. They have the right to complain.
Not that anime are any better, /a/ could use some standards and stop watching seasonal harem/shonenshit.
>>144625081
>All female cast
>Male character is introduced
>>144632302
Not like 90% of seasonal anime is routinely discussed after it finishes airing. As long as we have a steady stream of new content all is well.
>>144632437
Discussions about the girls/lewds of shit seasonal shows go on for a while, even if they wouldn't belong here in the first place.
This board is a shithole.
>>144632539
Eh, not really. Most seasonal shows are all but forgotten 1-2 years later, maybe getting 2-3 threads a week that die at 50 posts afterwards. Besides, your taste will always be shit.
We at least have a steady stream of new things to talk about rather than having nothing but off-topic complaining about literally nothing.
>>144625081
>Otaku is transported into a fantasy world
>Magical battle academy where the MC is the "strongest weakest" character and has girls drooling over his dick.
I drop these two instantly. I don't even bother with haremshit battle series anymore, and I'm starting to feel the same way about Isekai.
>>144625184
Really? Dude I'm the same way. I just hate that tired formula of
Protagonist is introduced
Protagonist does thing(s)
Show ends
It's fucking bullshit.
>>144625081
Forced drama or edgyshit
>>144625081
>Folded short (since Samus is small)
Shitty made up words that make me cringe.
The word "beater" made me drop SAO at episode 2 twice.
>>144625081

Unless it's called "full metal panic"!
Otherwise it's not worth watching.

>>144625081
Traps. It's why I quit watching Stein;s Gate.
>>144625081
>What makes you drop an anime immediately?
Male MC in high school setting gets a special encounter with new girl who drops on him or bumps into him, and aside of that we see him interacting with few other girls in the same episode being oblivious they have feelings for him...
Basically I drop every harem show ever.
Fanserviceaimed at guys. Fanservice aimed at girls is A-OK. No homo I swear.
Memory loss
Harem, love triangles, it's all a dream / not real, amnesia, and ye olde "if I kill him I will be just like him" bullshit.
>>144635563
>No homo I swear.
Anon...that's super gay.
Netorare towards the main character.
Instafucking dropped when that happens
>>144625136
>Only 2 posts in
>Already studio war
Extreme gender imbalances in the cast unless it's justified like in sports anime.
Chances are it's either a harem, fujoshit or some fanservice nonsense to bait otakus.
Too many females tend to be more harmful than too many males though.
>Shoujo artstyle
>LN romcom/battle harem adaptation
>Idolshit
>moeshit with no interesting gimmick/good comedy
If it has a character I really dislike. They usually appear around the third episode.
>>144625081
Heroine hacks her hair off.
Bad animation (konosuba, re:zero...)
>>144625081
MC is the only guy in the world with the power to help some organization, they kidnap him, completely ruining his life and within a few minutes after some token resistance he is completely fine with it and holds no ill-will towards his captors.
It happens so often and no one ever seems to care about this.

>>144625081

Dropped faster than the speed of sound
Boy meets girl in the first episode and their lives drastically change.

>>144625081
Physical violence on male lead played for laughs. I ain't need any of that shit in my life.

What?
No, there's 3DCG shit in anime all over the place. Cars and other backgrounds are very common, but the really annoying stuff is mechs. Lots of shows use shitty CG mechs and they're the center of attention for most of the anime.
People getting flustered over Indirect Kissu.
