Name a popular show or manga you dropped and explain why you

I dropped One Piece a dozen chapters or so after the timeskip. Just wasn't feeling it. The Franky re-design bothered me and I didn't like Haki taking the forefront.

It's probably not permanent, though. I keep telling myself I'll get back to it eventually.

Steins gate because it's taking too long to get to the point and the characters are too annoying.

Dropped Fairy Tail when fake deaths started popping up all the damn time.

>>157332926
Kiecho, because hip attacks are my fetish and I knew this would over-saturate it and ruin it for me.

>>157332926
Kill la kill episode 5 or 6


It had bad animation + art style and felt like some ecchi fighting show. Don't get why /a/ praises it so much

Naruto after that villain with the weird eyes revived the whole village he had slayed when he died. Dumbest shit of all time. Felt really cheap. I was annoyed with that series for a really long time, though, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Acchi Kocchi

Boring as my life

>>157332926
Dropped Naruto many years ago just to start reading it again a couple years ago and then dropped it once again at the end of Pain arc

I dont watch shit that's longer than 100-200 episodes. Naturally that means I refuse to watch Bleach Naruto and One piece

If it's fucking 600 episodes long I'm willing to bet half of that shit is filler

overlord because it so light novelish that i couldn't continue

Naruto: Get tired after pain death
Bleach: It should have ended after aizen defeat

>>157332926
Black Lagoon. Haven't watched the 2nd season. Just didn't like it, the action scenes didn't grow on me.

Tokyo ghoul:re

Too many characters making their character devlopment bad(it's not helping that the author randomly kills them), bad pacing, confusing art making it troubling during fights. Too many shenanigans, it's ridiculous at this point, not that I dislike shenanigans but some of them are ridiculous such as King kaneki.

One Punch Man (both ONE and Murata)

Releases at a snails pace and the plot wasn't interesting anymore, jokes are old and tired.

SnK, OP.
Not as popular, but the anime I dropped the hardest was Ajin after like Ep 10 of the first season. Every character just turned into a complete autist that episode.

Bakemonogatari. Maybe I will give it a chance one day, but I dropped it after the pantyshot not even ten seconds in (though I guess you could say I haven't really picked it up, then).

I felt pretty much the same especially franky. Seriously, the fuck is that design?
but I was pleasantly surprised.

Haki doesn't really play any major role so far other than to gauge someone's skill in general. If devil fruits are a main dish then haki is something like a spice. They add another attribute to fights but they haven't really been a main element. The only real exception is characters like virgo whose only power is "really fuckin good at haki"

And franky's redesign hasnt really been seen that much. For better or for worse, franky hasn't been very involved with many of the timeskip arcs. but when he was involved it was legendary.

Random spastic anime humor isn't as funny as it was when I was 13. Also the fansubs explaining every single joke got really annoying really quickly.

The first time I didn't make it past the chocolate pastry scene in the first goddamn episode. The second time I got as far as that time they want to the beach, took a bath together and started discussing their periods. Made me feel like a disgusting voyeuristic perv.

BnHa. It lost its focus awhile ago and then the Deku Vs Bakugou fight killed it for me. It was a bit too much forced drama.

>>157333622
Me too, first episode was enough.

steins;gate. the combination of dishwater or piss-tinted colour palettes for every single shot, inscrutable yet agonisingly slow editing, and bizarre, stilted characters completely alienated me.

Berserk during the boat stuff
I just couldn't be arsed to keep up with the one chapter coming out every two years

>>157332926
Liar Game: Took a peek at the final chapter and it was shit.
Berserk: Dropped hard in quality. Still skim through new annual chapters.
One Piece: Was a big fan as a kid but it turned to shit after Enies Lobby.
Shingeki no Kyojin: Boring.
One Punch Man: Boring.

Dropped Shingeki manga around the time they were making Eren build a house in titan form or something,then they were captured by the royals or something and humans fighting humans,that bored the fuck out of me. Considering the spoilers don't believe I'll be starting it again any time soon.

Does it count if I want to drop it but it's bullshittery keeps pulling me back in because this is "Rubber Nen" tier

>>157333432
I did the exact same back at the time, lots of people did
It's no masterpiece by any means but I sure don't regret watching

>>157333772
I hopped off a little after they revealed that whatshisname was that giant Titan. Are the spoilers that bad?

>>157333622
I loved the fuck out of the OVAs but I'm still waiting for the same feeling from the show.

It feels like a bunch of disconnected "story of the week" things with the only common denominator being akko who they somehow made even more retarded (I assumed she would know who chariot was after ep 10 at the very latest. Now it's just fucking stupid)

I'm hoping it's the type of show that is a slow burn to a grand finale that makes it all come together and be worth it.

>>157333861
If you dropped it when Bert was revealed as the colossal titan than you certainly wouldn't want to come back.

Ergo Proxy.
The only good part of the whole show was the aesthetic, everything else I fucking hated.

>>157333772
>>157333861
It has definitely picked up after the POLITICS arc but its still lacking the appeal it originally had.

I nearly dropped it during the politics arc too. It's like they completely forgot the title of the manga, ignored anything having to do with titans and focused entirely on bloodlines and shitty small time human conflicts.
After that bullshit it got back to titan fights but now they're pretty much all controlled by humans in one way or another so it's nothing like the world from chapter 1.

I made it about 14 eps in. I disliked all main characters except that milf that kept drinking beer. The fights were over in like 5 mins which was really weird after a 20 min buildup about how this is the strongest, most badass enemy ever of all time...I struggled after 5 eps but kept going till 14 just because it's so universally liked but I really didn't like it.

One Piece for the same reason as everyone else

Horizon.
It's boring as fuck.

Kimetsu no Yaiba
Really bland shit, like super generic, but not in an offensive way like Black Clover

Black Lagoon
Read 5 Volumes and while it wasnt bad, I kinda lost interest. It needed some goal that connects all the arcs instead of going from one job to another.

Grand Blue
The jokes would probably be funny if I was like 14. Sadly, I'm not that young anymore.

>>157332926
Black Lagoon. Revy wasn't compelling, the whole plot felt really contrived, like a jap spinoff of NCIS. Totally lost interest when battle-maid was introduced. Balalaika was great though.

>>157334378

>>157332988
Same here. I didn't hate the first part, but something about the timeskip didn't click well with me.

>>157334603
>Totally lost interest when battle-maid was introduced.

That is defensible. She was way too overpowered. The series was already caps lock insane but she pushed it. I didn't like Blood Trail for that reason.

>>157334654
so you are just not gonna say anything worthwhile, got it. Same as NGE then, lot of fluff zero substance.

I dropped 20th Century Boy because it took forever to get interesting for me, and when it did, it went to another country after a few chapters and became a drag again. Fuck it.

Yowamushi Pedal. Got about 10 episodes in before I dropped it. The show wasn't terrible, but it just really wasn't holding my interest.

>FLCL 3/6
Too deep for me, had no appeal. Was told it's one of the best Trigger's works, felt zero admiration. I guess just not for me.

>Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge 4/12
Not a fan of slice-of-life with no development. A joke stretched too thin.

>Sakamoto desu ga? 4/12
Same as the above. It had its moments and I like Sakamoto memes but that's about it.

I should have dropped Eromanga after the first episode cause it's plain bad I've read ahead after it and Elf somewhat salvaged the situation but the whole show is just plainly retarded.. Just like that dude said — one toothbrush scene from Nisemonogatari has more context, plot, development and background than all of the Eromanga.

Now I mostly watch it to feel the emptiness inside, filling it with Japanese garbage.

Should have dropped Bastard Instructor on the same grounds as Eromanga - in addition to being bad it features weak writing, almost no development of the characters and whatever, I'm fucking done.

>>157334603
I made it all the way through black lagoon, and generally enjoyed it, but damn if it didn't start disappointing from the very first episode. Thought it was going to be this (relatively) realistic, gritty action series - first episode has them flying a torpedo boat through the air into a helicopter. What?

By the end, the only real interest I had in continuing was to find out if Revy was going to shoot Rock to death or fuck him first and then shoot him to death. Still waiting on that one.

>>157334818
I'm not an NGE fanboy, i thought it was ok. But I'll convince you to finish it anyway.
1) You have to finish it + EoE in order to browse /a/. It's just that influential. Same can be said for lots of other anime like 0079, getter, and the likes. It's just that people don't bother watching them.
2) It does get better later
3) Dropping shows is for faggot quitters.

>>157334915
I don't have to finish something I don't like just because it's considered a standard. Never watched GitS or Akira either, older shows generally don't appeal to me or stay in my backlog forever while I watch seasonal shows. And mecha series are fucking gay so I will never watch something like Getter or Gundam. I just think something as stupid as big robots fighting each other is something only kids should like. I know NGE goes full existential philosophy or something later on and maybe I'll just watch the final episodes at some point to get it over with.

yes how dare I not like big explosions and Godzilla sized robots falling into buildings and instead rather watch a romance or drama series. How can I be so shallow to not respond to explosions but only to actual human emotions.

Detective Conan/case closed

Dropped it around vol 80 or so. I might gonna pick it up again later but I've emotionally and financially invested in them too much (between the official tankoubon, VCD/DVD/Bluray, poster, figura, posters, other mercs and even a trip to conan town), I decided to take a break until at the very last arc before picking it up again

But that arc honestly left me without watching to touch OP for a while at least. I read that Zou is much better but I will wait a while until getting to it again.

>>157332988
I dropped it around the point where they are on that food island and it looked like another rescue arc with sanji,

although
truth be told I dropped one piece because of how bleach ended
I guess it was sort of a domino effect cause I just couldn't read shonen anymore.

logh once yang died
noticed it was a massively overrated series early on

I used to watch everything to the end but now I just drop shit I don't enjoy because anime isn't supossed to be a chore.
Most recently:
>Chaos;Child
I guess it first was a shitty adaptation. But it was also ultra generic. I don't know if the VN is much better, but the anime was like every ";" visual novel trope into one. Which may had worked with Steins;Gate but not now.
>Danmachi Sword Oratoria
I expected Ais and brown girls adventures.
Got the autistic yuribait elf show instead.

>Code Geass
Dunno really. The premise was a mess and failed to keep me entertained. It just felt like it was all over the place with mechas, magical pizza girl, nippon banzai resistance movement, some aristocracy bullshit and they were all in high school at the same time as well?
It's been a while so I can't recall it very well
>Death Note
Too deep into keikaku for my tastes

I don't count stuff like Naruto that I started at 12 or something and after 200 filler episodes and a bit of "life" experience that came with adolescence I realized I might watch something that's not shit instead

Dropped Oyasumi Punpun about 20 chapters in. Everyone seems to rave about it and that it's surprisingly deep and engaging, but everyone felt unlikable and I just found I wasn't enjoying the atmosphere. I really tried to push through it, but it was unpleasant and boring. I know unpleasantness is part of the point, but it wasn't the right kind of unpleasant for me.

Most recently:
Koe no Katachi, too pretentious for me
Monmusu, I just don't get the appeal of this kind of ecchi, too vanilla or something
Prison School, I hate blueballing ecchi
Tomo-chan, I love tomboy shenanigans but it's boring since Fumita keep maintaining the status quo
Horimiya and Mousou Telepathy, story turns into a weird and boring direction, it feels like reading a shoujo manga or something

I dropped Tokyo Ghoul after maybe 4 episodes because it looked generic, had generic characters, a pussy MC which apparently changed later on, from what I've seen posted with a pretty generic plot that looked like your average shounen+seinen deal, oh and the animation was fucking garbage at times. I actually had just finished Parasyte when I started watching TG, which is probably why I felt all of its flaws compared to a show with -arguably- similar concepts I just watched and loved. I think it was the faggot character being a total faggot that made me go 'yeah this isn't going anywhere, I feel tired rather than entertained, let me watch something else'. But in the end Tokyo Ghoul was either actually good or everyone has some really shitty taste, because for the consequent months I was seeing it fucking everywhere and even my friend tried to make me watch it.

I still don't know if the rest of Tokyo Ghoul was actually good or not.

>IBO
I had never watched Gundam before so i tried it and had a case of immediate regret because of all the fujo pandering
I then became a /m/an after watching 0080, 0079, Zeta, SEED (fucking Stargazer), and X

Was tempted to drop Kill la Kill somewhere around the middle. Just couldn't be interested in what was even happening and didn't really like any of the characters. Seemed overly wacky without having any of the "charm" that you need to keep you interested in something so ridiculously cheesy.

Didn't actually drop it though because I'm a masochist.

>>157332926
Haikyuu, the black-haired dude was too cringy for me, MC's motivation was meh to me (so it's like, you can replace that motivation with nothing, and you'd have a character whose only distinctive features was wanting to overcome his height issue, being fast and jumping high), the series failed to show me how fun (decision-making wise) the matches can be before I dropped it.

>>157332926
Aria the Origination. Yes, I did watch all of Natural and the first season. First season was okay, I enjoyed it. Natural started to become a slog because the initial charm wore off, and the slow pacing really started to wear down on me. Forced myself to Origination because I heard it's the best season, but it was more or less the same so I dropped it.

Alternatively I picked up the manga and loved it.

>>157332926
I drop popular series all the fucking time, but it's theoretically temporary...I drop them when they become exhausting instead of enjoyable and I've got more interesting stuff I could be reading

It's possible I never will finish many of those series but I do keep in mind where I was if I ever want to return

Like I probably will never actually finish Bleach or maybe even Naruto (though I've recently started back up and it's keeping my interest for now)

That said, suck is a lot easier to keep up with on a weekly basis then when the series is done or you're catching up...like that Witch Forest arc in Black Clover is one of the worst I've ever read but since it was just one chapter a week, I got through it and then forgot it happened (like the author, I'm sure)

But when you are reading a finished series and don't want to spoil yourself too much, some of those terrible arcs seem like they have no end in sight and I just drop the series until I have an interest to try again...like without looking up current events, I don't know how anyone could read post-timeskip One Piece

Death Note because the drama got sucked out when Light lost his memories

One I remember that triggered people on this board was when I dropped Stardust Crusaders because it became so fucking boring and formulaic, especially after the awesome Battle Tendency but I've since read all eight parts and I feel like it was worth eventually coming back and slogging through the groundwork

>>157334260
Was it because Beck was boring?

>>157337010
Yeah, that part fucking sucked, but then the conclusion was like the best part of the series, but then the timeskip happened and almost all garbage from there

I can't imagine how anyone liked that series weekly, so much shit should have been trimmed out of there but the best bits were fucking amazing

What's up with everyone saying they dropped One Piece after the timeskip? Did it really jump the shark that bad?

>>157337028
It does drag a little in the middle but I cried like a little baby when Iggy dies , and the battle against Dio is one of the best shonen battles ever as far as what it teaches us about the main character. It's like Sherlock vs Moriarity, Luke vs. Vader in terms of foil.

>>157337284
I wouldn't say it jumped the shark. It just kind of got boring.

Little Witch Academia

It wasn't entertaining and nothing ever happened.

One Peice

I just lost interest in it sometime past the timeskip and didnt feel like reading anymore. I severely doubt I'll ever return to it

>>157337330
the ova or the anime?

>>157337284
It's just not even remotely the same series, it's still pretty good but it's pretty easy to see why someone would like one half and not the other

The art and designs are worse, the characters from pre-timeskip are now just parodies of themselves and much less relevant to the story with a lot of favorites getting shafted, the stakes are much lower and the tension less real and everything takes so fucking long because of so much time spent building a bigger world but barely advancing the story

its just not that same , gave 300$ to the kickstarter

>>157337521
>gave 300$ to the kickstarter
Ouch man. Didn't you learn to NEVER donate to kickstarter?
90% of the time it's a complete scam and 9.9% of the time you get what you were promised but are disappointed.

Shovel Knight was the kickstarter that was successful and wound up being good.

Initial D. It took fucking forever before it actually got into racing, and the one race I did see (If I remember right, he was racing a yellow car and uses a ditch on the side of a turn so he doesn't have to slow down) just felt very aloof in the way it was animated. The "he good at car but he not know it" joke got old really fast.

Also Eurobeat music is shit

>>157337315
It was just all the stuff during the journey that was exhausting, it did payoff at the end of the arc and I realize all of Jojo is very formulaic but when SC was even so formulaic that it was written into the story (like knowing exactly how many Stand users there was going to be) and I didn't really like a lot of the cast until they were more developed by the end, I've seen clips of the anime though and maybe it's more enjoyable that way

I dropped Kaiji after he decided to screw his dead friend's widow by gambling on a fucking tissue paper lottery If it was just his own money I wouldn't have cared, but that shit was entirely out of character given his "honor among thieves" and "rogue with a heart of gold" characterization. And I watched the first episode of the second season and the contrivances at that point were just too ridiculous

>>157332926
>Dropped
Outside or long running shit like One Piss (which everyone with a brain here should have dropped) most popular stuff is only one or two cour. Who drops a popular short show without finishing it? I only drop short shows off they're offensively bad like Sagrada Reset.

I was watching Excel Saga with my gf and eventually I kept giving her excuses when she wanted to watch more. It became boring and unfunny. When we broke up I was too lazy to keep watching FMA as well so I dropped it.

Kiznaiver because it was so bland.

Tokyo Ghoul cause it bored me. Pretty much everything >>157336082 said.

Kyoukai no Kanata because the characters annoyed me.

Same here. I'm still trying to figure if it was me or the manga.

Dropped Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso at the speed of light--basically as soon as the shittiness of middle schoolers trying to enforce exposure therapy onto the MC triggered a rage-bred aneurysm in me.

>>157334950
This author is a hack. I feel for the memes and tried 3gatsu, but that's garbage too.

Dropped Steins Gate at episode 19 because it was an aggressive waste of my time. I'm okay with a plot on a slow boil, but that shit was like throwing a signal flare into an Olympic swimming pool.

>>157333432
I dropped it later into the first episode than that, but everyone was just fucking insufferable, I couldn't stomach it.

I drop every Urasawa Naoki manga. The only one I managed to finish was 20th century boys and I don't even remember the second half at all.
For some reason all his manga start out with an interesting concept and I love his art style, but then they devolve into some retardedly contrived conspiracy shit and I just stop giving a shit about anything.

Fucking Sword Art Online

Holy shit, biggest disappointment in the past few years. It starts out hinting at potentially being a landmark series, with an awesome mix of Sci-Fi an gaming. Half way through they decide "we romance now". I lost my shit in that episode where they go to live in a cabin in the woods and adopt a random loli they find wandering around. How fucking retarded can you get? It's not enough they turned this action Sci-Fi into a romance, they didn't even do a decent job.

> the villain meant to be the final boss literally says "fuck it, let's fight now even though you're only two thirds of the way through the plot", so they can end the series sooner.

It's literally as if half-way through Interstellar Adam Sandler showed up and turned the second half into a shitty comedy, makes no fucking sense.

I'm still fucking triggered, the first episodes had SUCH POTENTIAL.

Fuck everyone who had anything to do with that pile of shit.

like literally
it was a piece of fanfiction the author wrote for an LN contest when he was 15
reuploaded it online, got super popular for whatever reason and then got an anime adaptation.

You know the one surprising thing that I don't see anyone mentioning of dropping is Magi.

So I remember dropping it after the two emo guys went to fight the frog eyed woman, that had survived all the way back from the flashbacks, and was corrupted/following the main enemy entity and they beat her in the most stupid way. Thing is I don't even remember why I dropped it, just felt really uninteresting after that. I wonder what got on my tits about it.

But it gave us the SAO abridged series, so I'm happy with that.

Re:Zero, dropped that around episode 16. Couldn't take anymore of Subaru's "suffering face", which was more-so the facial expression of someone chronically constipated. Its grand reception is essentially from retards just wishing a robot like Rem would confess to them. Fuck that shitty anime.

One Piece years ago somewhere around the Skypia arc. The plot just stopped moving. Yeah yeah, more character kept coming along and their interactions were good but some of their additions felt somewhat forced dragging along a plot. I am more of a plot driven person tjan a character driven person.

I always felt SAO only became as popular as it did because it was the first video game related anything people have seen in years. My reasoning behind it is .hack signs and .hack anime back in the day was really popular, even though it had average production values at the time, average dialouge (sub and dub) and it was fairly boring. The plot centering around a video game is perhaps the best explanation for it (and maybe Yuki Kajura). Back to the point of SAO being hugely successful, its worth noting there's also the factors like the shit generation finally coming in, high production values, deus ex machina edgey MC, action in it, and so on, but using .hack as a comparison, it looks like video games was the primary reason.

>>157339424

The name of the genre literately means young boy, in other words, a child. And all Japanee manga magazine named shounen market and target to children. I course shounen is childrens' stuff, its has topics and entertainment only children could understand, children things.

Mushishi. It looked pretty, but the plots felt like they didn't have much substance, and it felt like they made up rules as they went along. I could never get into the world and there wasn't much to be satisfied about.

Dropped Texhnolyze around the time the gang war started. I enjoyed the suffering of the MC and his struggle to walk upright

SnK. I was reading the manga. The story started getting too stupid for me, as the tone and setting seemed to be changing. I also felt like the art was declining in a weird way.

I dropped the Knights of Sidonia anime because I thought it looked like complete trash and read the manga instead which had astoundingly good art.

I dropped Kiss x Sis because I got tured of seeing glasses girl all the time and I guess I lost interest in the story.

I'm probably gonna drop Jitsu wa Watashi wa because I'm getting really tired of this face, and the story associated with it.

Liked them but didn't love them as much as anons do, at least not over the show, the best I've got from them is I learned why people liked Amanda/Cons/Fatwitch so much (at that point they didn't have much of a spotlight in the anime).

Also, Enchanted Parade>the previous one. I'm also alone in that opinion it seems.

I've never seen such a promising start to an anime ruined so quickly by the most boring bullshit I've ever seen in my life.

I honestly have no clue as to why. I didn't even find it to be that boring, but each time I tried to pick it up again I was legitimately too tired and fell asleep after watching one episode. I think I finished up to ep 4, but I already gave up on trying to pick it up once more.

Mecha is as much about the human drama as much as it is about robots smashing each other. But to each their own I guess.

TWGOK after the goddesses arc was over, it felt souless and what happened to Chihiro made it sour.
I re-readed it all a week before the last chapter and i regret it, outside of Chihiro winning there was nothing good about that last arc nor that ending.

>>157342972

That being said, I still don't agree with your sentiment about passing up classics for new shows. Many older shows are super influential to all of the new ones you are watching.

I stopped SnK a few years ago because with how it was paced I felt like it was a series that wasn't going to finish for a very long time, and it seems like I am right.

SAO Abridged exists to placate the people who want to like SAO ironically without making them look like they have no taste.

I actually liked the concept going in, but it just seemed Subaru was the only fleshed out character? Like, nothing of the plot made sense? It just seemed like some random events just happened while he was there. There was nothing tying them together. First they have to kill this big tittied monster, then he's making an ass out of himself for some election they don't really explain. Then they introduce the thief again, but that story line never goes anywhere. Then he has to stay in the city and I don't understand what him and that flat character that's his love interest are even arguing about??? There's a huge whale, some cult that's never explained just like hinted at. It was a fucking mess.

I also hate Rem. Her only purpose was to make Subaru feel bad and despair. She disappears and no one gives a shit anymore. I just fast forwarded to the ending late, because I could not anymore with this awful show.

Eromanga-sensei. The cast is full of actually original characters, but I hate them all. The premise is also original, but I don't like it.

It's weird, because it has everything I could want in a story:

>political intrigue

Yet, when I got up to the part where Eren became the 'Titan Whisperer" I couldn't do it anymore. Then I read the spoilers. While it was interesting to learn everything about the Titans, the big monkey looking one, and Eren's dad's past I still don't really care?

Where did SnK go wrong? Is it just me? I feel like I should be on the edge of my seat, but I can't because I can't find it in myself to give a shit. Is it Eren? But Eren barely does anything. It just bothers me that I can't figure out how an author can mix all these interesting genres together and come out with something that tastes so hideously bland.

NGE was literally trying to end the idea of harems, though. The entire point of Rei and Asuka was that they're fundamentally broken as people, so fetishizing their character archetypes (tsundere, etc) is bizarre and unhealthy, since the quirks they possess are born out of horrid trauma.

The fact that they got fetishized anyway is basically a hilarious tragedy.

Honestly I feel like it's Eren. He has all these aspirations, but never shows promise.

And im not talking about skill, since stat-wise he's considered to be as skilled as Mikasa, but just overall his route about going things. There's really not much separating him from the other soldiers that died to the titans except the fact he has his own shifting powers?

If the titan powers are what makes his character, people are better off reading a mecha manga.

Fate stay night because it was ungodly boring. I heard Zero was better but I dropped that one even faster for the same reason. How do people watch these shows?

It is. It reminds me of Watchmen. Alan Moore was making fun of comics and then it became the gold standard for comics. After that all heroes became anti-heroes and things got dark with blood and death everywhere.

A more modern example is One Punch Man. One Punch Man is making fun of power levels and shit and what happens? People are constantly arguing about them. I think DBZ was making fun of them, too and became the gold standard.

Fate/Zero's first episode made the unfortunate mistake of being an exposition dump. Afterwards the action starts.

>>157344941
Yes, /a/ is full of casuals who say anime is dead each season and watch maybe 10 shows annually. What's your point? You're still all newfags and normalfags with shit powerlevels.

>>157344834
You think the problem is Eren? Does he ever do anything? All I recall him doing is yelling about killing Titans, getting kidnapped most of the time, getting his ass kicked, crying, yelling, and talking. He really doesn't do much. The other characters are carrying the story and he's just kind of reacting to things, you think?

After thinking about it I was wondering if the manga is missing suspense? The show has it. The anime is leagues better than the manga. Yet, at the same time the more I learn about the mystery surrounding the Titans and story the less I am intrigued to read it.

It really just might be missing suspense that kind of story is supposed to have or the story is getting convoluted.

>>157335034
Wait didn't you complain about the action scenes being too short and now say you don't like mecha? Plus the idea of hating mecha just because 'it's 4 kids' is pretty stupid. Fair enough if mecha isn't to your tastes but hating it cus it's liked by kids doesn't make any sense

I've dropped every Trigger show I've picked up except for Luluco.
I dropped the manga to Tsugumomo because I thought it was typical harem garbage with a violent tsundere-ish girl and a spineless MC.

The only "recent", popular one i can think of from the top of my head is No Game No Life, and mostly due to time reasons.

I've read a lot of mangas, so i've dropped a few.

>One Piece
got boring after the timeskip, but i've heard recent arcs are pretty good, so i might pick it up again

>Naruto
i dropped this a while ago, when i didn't even know what torrent was. I just didn't like the characters.

>Death Note
The anime spoiled everything, so i never bothered to finish it.

>SnK
Everyone i know recommended it, but i found it boring and ugly, and i couldn't take seriously the designs of the titans. They look like giant nudist hicks.

And that's all i can remember

Hyouka and Hanasaku Iroha.

They got boring around mid season.

You literally complained "as stupid as big robots fighting each other" when you said earlier that you dropped it cause the fight scenes were only 5 minutes long.

I watched one episode after L's death. Realized it was going to be shit and just skipped to the last episode.

Also Melancholy of Haruhi. I think I dropped it after the island. I hardly remember anything about it though. I do remember being genuinely annoyed that I wasted time watching it.

Within the last few years:
>Popular here
I dropped Ninja Slayer at around the 8th episode, because the joke was getting old and I had better things to do than watch that.
I also 'dropped' Utena at episode 10 because my media player began refusing to output any sound (except the dub). I was enjoying it up to that point.
I also dropped Teekyuu about half-way through the third season, because it failed as comedy to me, and I didn't feel like watching a hundred more episodes of high-speed JK sexualization.
>Popular in general
I dropped AO twice, one while it was airing and again in December. I finished it a few weeks ago. It really wasn't as bad as everybody said, it was surprisingly well-executed at some points.The conclusion does not mean that Dewey was right, it means the universe is wrong. It was a convoluted attempt at portraying them as star-crossed lovers.
I watched one episode of Space Dandy, and stopped there.

>>157333756
liar game is really good until the very end.

K-On after three episodes after I got bored.
I did watch Lucky Star in its entirety and enjoyed it though.

>SnK

I read past the whole human drama thing and after they killed off Erwin, realized I didn't care for most of the cast and just dropped it. Based on spoilers it was a wise decision.

>Gundam IBO
Dropped it after the first season but kept up with the threads for the second season. Holy shit what a mess.

>Magi
Can't remember why.

>Bleach
Lost interest after Soul Society/beginning of Hueco Mundo because I thought another rescue arc was too repetitive. They needed a rescue Uryuu arc to make the holy trinity of rescuing arcs, though.

>>157335034
This isn't even /v/ tier taste anymore. Go back to >>>/r/eddit or whatever shithole you crawled out of.

>>157350151

Who does that? If you can't afford the time to watch it, surely affording the time to go on the threads should be even more of a waste of time?

K-On! I like SoL. I even finished Hyouka and NNB with a smile on my face, but for some reason, K-On was extremely boring for me. And sometimes also cringed. I lasted four episodes and I had to drop it.

Nichijou.
It just felt like lel so random xD tier humor that I simply couldn't stomach it at this age. I can see why some of the more cringy faggots like it now though.

>>157350927
Nichijou is the definition of hit or miss. Some jokes are very funny, others are so bad. Family Guy tier bad, going on and on and on and not even being funny from the start. The principal fighting a deer comes to mind. I can totally understand how those can ruin the entire series for you.

Same. After Zou I though OP will be good again but WCI gave me cancer.

I feel vindicated in seeing the amount of people that also dropped One Piece after the timeskip. I thought I was the only weird one that lost interest because of it.

Code Geass, while it was airing. Everyone woild respond saying I was shitty bait. Thought it was stupid after two episodes, never picked back up.

This doesn't even make any sense. If anything it's the opposite since Britannia is the one which obliterated Japan. and most of the really powerful people are Britannian including the protagonist.

Thanks for proving that Code Geass haters are retards who can't even pay attention to a story for two episodes.

Eromanga sensei because I'm not a degenerate.

>>157333009
I had to drop it when the main character, whose one defining trait is being paranoid and having conspiracy theories, neglects to think for a second that this woman on the street who's weirdly interested in the exact same computer model he is MIGHT have something to do with everything.

Instead:
>duhhh hurrrrr of course you can join the lab
>uhh huhhhh why do you wanna take it with you?
>duhhhhhhhhh

>>157351886
Poor taste, Eromanga-sensei is the antithesis of degeneration.

>>157351954
Never thought about that, that was indeed stupid. Also Mayuri is fucking annoying.

>>157351844
This was in HS, I dont remember everything. The designs are long and weird. Like clamp rip off. Didnt like them. The deathnote/gundam shit with magic and science IN HIGHSCHOOL felt stupid/generic/uninteresting.

At the time I was still going through all of gundam, so had better mecha to watch.

>>157351886
In a world where normalfags idolize racemixing I don't think that's an insult anymore.

Jintui wa Suitaishimashita at episode 6
I just found it weak and wasn't interested, the first episodes had some fun moments but it's definitely overhyped on /a/ because of the nice visuals.

>>157352161
This but I dropped it at that shitty arc which was entirely about a one line pun, "time paradogs". I wish I dropped it earlier.

You don't watch Bakemonogatari because it has a worthwhile story, deep plot or impressive visuals. Lurking isn't obsolete, by the way.

>>157337946
But anon, everyone hates Aldnoah, only /m/ mentions it nowadays to shitpost.

S2 is only worth watching if you like Slaine and the Vers guys and then you watch them lose everything and die or get an awful ending.

>>157333382
One Punch Man is pretty terrible, I dropped it for the same reasons.

>>157352307
so what do you watch Bakemonogatari for? I finished it but thought it was pretty boring and didn't even watch any of the other Monogatari series.

Mahouka: a monarchist turd that goes against everything I stand for.

>>157333052
Yup, that was the same thing that made me drop Naruto a long time ago. Don't create a "this character is totally gonna die", just to do a "lol no" 2 chapters later. Either you assume your choice and go all the way through or you make those kind of shit.
>>157333890
This. I really tried giving it a chance, I watched 8 episodes, telling myself maybe it'll get better. However, after those 8 episodes, I still feel no progression, no worthwhile developpement in the character. Sure, Akko learned a few spell and we discover a few things about some supporting character background. But when it's all you get after 8 episodes, it feels like a waste of time. Maybe I'll give it a chance when it is finished and if I hear about the ending being awesome.

>>157352499
Mahouka is beloved because it's an unintentional parody of everything it stands for.

Cardcaptor Sakura.

I know magical girls are a niche genre, but I watched Puchi Puri Yuucie on a whim and really liked it, decided to give CCS a try.
It didn't grip me at all. Gave it 8 episodes before I put it down. Enjoyed the manga though. Short and sweet.

>>157352499
There's literally nothing wrong with monarchism (But mahouka did suck)

Hunter x Hunter
I made it to the end of the chimera ant arc right as they were breaking into the castle and fights were going to happen soon, but they just kept dragging it out way too long and I stopped giving a shit.

>>157352386
The women obviously.

>>157352635
But a good number of them are trash, specially Senjougahara. Senjougahara is so bad I'm surprised so many people make it past the first few episodes. Show gets better at the arcs of the non-shit girls and when shitcrab stops being relevant, but still.

>>157352868
Look I don't understand crabfags either but they apparently exist. The more girls get brought in the less she gets attention so there's that, but I wouldn't consider that it a fix. Atleast monkey is cute.

Cowboy bebop.
It was boring as fuck, and the characters were shit. Especially Ed. I hated that little shit.

>>157353047
The only good part of that show was the music, and it isn't even mind-blowing or anything.

>>157333281
>overlord because it so light novelish that i couldn't continue
It's funny because the LN actually tries to be original by limiting Ainz appearances and usually showing story from other characters points of view.

Naruto.
I figured I'd give it a proper read, and while some things were interesting enough, it was more of a chore than it was a thrill, around Ch. 512, I dropped it. I did tear up with him meeting his parents. That was a legit highlight at least.

Dropped NagiAsu after the timeskip. It was a nice coming of age story but then I got fucking Okada'd.
Even made a thread about it yesterday because of how mad I was

Evangelion

Just pretentious and tries too hard to be deep. Also MC is a spineless faggot

LOGH. Right after that one guy got shot in the knee there was an episode were the two best characters got chased down a highway, knowing that it was downhill from there for everyone, I closed mpc and delete the show.

I had to walk my dog, and forgot to watch other episodes.
It was 8 years ago.

Jojo:
It was nice and good. It was cool. Then stone ocean/steel ball run happened.

Dear Araki,
my man, i love ya, I like how spaghettiboo you are and I liked the story you carefully crafted. Yes, you're forgetful from time to time, but who cares as long as everything had that good "legacy feel".
Why did you had to Oda it away with that bullshit reset.
It was really sucky.

Eromanga sensei. I thought it was boring despite actually enjoying Oreimo

My friend at work says it gets really funny and entertaining past the first two episodes...

I dropped SAO. Couldn't get past the fairy arc.

>>157333347
Also, this. I really enjoyed Boku no hero when he was training up on the beach and it was even my most anticipated weekly watch but dropped it like 2 or 3 episodes when he got to the school.

It was boring and not that well made.

It's a new beginning I get it. But it's a boring new beginning.
He had to re-tell all the stories of the characters. Araki cannot into protagonists, I know it. But what kept jojo going for me was the "storyline".
Even more usless main character like giorno are more likable than jhonny and gyro, because you know what's behind him. You know he's the son of Dio and what happened.
Jhonny is presented us as just "a random guy who broke his spine".
Gyro is the dude from naples who spins thing.

You can make a character memorable by making him do Memorable things. Part 1 of jojo had the flattest character, but held all other parts firmly, because the protagonist did interesting thing, and only him. All the other character did nothing, or, if they did it was to aid the protagonist (zeppeli's death, twice). And how can you make a character do cool shit? Fights, not horse races.

In short: "Brand new characters do nothing interesting for a long time with no backstory to support them"

>>157333432

Depending on what you wanted or expected out of the show, dropping it right there is understandable.
But no other twist in other anime got me like this one did, and the show was one hell of a ride.

Spice & Wolf

>>157356205
I say I finished Spice and Wolf but really I dropped it after the NTR arc in season 2. Left a really bad taste in my mouth

>>157355975
I unironically dropped it twice, once when it was airing and then a few years later when I wanted to give it another shot.

Maybe it would have been more fun if I dropped it with /a/ every week, but Inori was too dull and annoyed me.

>>157356261
You know there's no actual NTR, and then they get married and have a kid, right?

>>157332926
Naruto, because after 100 episodes they started shitting up filler after filler and production was shit.

>>157354001

He's meant to be a spineless faggot you stupid fuck. You think any 13 year old battling horrific creatures wouldn't be shitting his pants constantly, or shut everything out due to the pressure? The show is meant to be a deconstruction, i.e. showing just how fucked up the people that actually had to do these things would (have to) be.

You can say it's pretentious and tries too hard to be deep, fine. The fact that you're complaining about the MC means you missed the whole fucking point of the show though.

>>157356443
Why would you stop before the happy ending?

It's a shame that the first half of season 1 is that boring, because the second half and especially season 2 are actually great. Many don't bother continuing that far and miss out.

Bakemonogatari. I just can't do it, every single time I try and slog through it I can barely make it past the first episode. Same with Baccano, I try and watch the first few episodes then completely lose any sliver of interest I may of had.

It confuses the shit out of me since people rave about both shows yet I can't find a single thing I like about either of them. I even try to just sit through them to just be down with it but I can't even do that. I can somehow sit through literal garbage shows back to back but I just can't stand watching those shows.
