[GE] A scene or part of an anime that made you just drop it?

Freezing/Rosario v vampire I just couldn't watch these after 1 or 2 episodes just way too much fan service maybe I didn't notice the amount in the manga but the anime was overkill 4 me.

The main anime I can remember that I dropped because of a particular scene is Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai, at the bathroom scene where protagonist-kun is ranting to the blue-haired chick about the "terrible Western influence" on Japanese society. Well, I'd been getting kind of pissed off and bored at some other things in the show already, but that was the breaking point. Seriously, keep your political proselytizing out of my anime, especially when it's so full of bullshit, obvious bias and falsehoods. Fuck.
Anyway, aside from a few others, when I drop anime (and manga) it's generally not for any one reason. Like, I'll be watching/reading it, and then I just realize I don't care anymore.

When L was killed in Death Note I stopped and mourned for a bit. Girls Bravo I stopped completely, just wasn't feeling it. Last one I remember was Fruits Basket until the series was completed then read it all, loved the story but the change I art style made me sad.

I usually don't drop unless I'm waiting for more chapters/volumes to be released, sometimes I just forget to go back to it lol.

That joke was blatantly absurd so that people do not take it seriously and get a good laugh at how exaggerated it is. I am okay with you dissing the anime adaptation because it does little glory to the VN but I do want to correct your misconception.

I am actually very tolerant of anime, which did result in me watching complete rubbish like Kampfer to the end-which I immensely regret to this day. I do not think I have ever decided willingly drop an anime, life stuff or simply more appealing anime made me erratically drop or pick up any show good or bad.

Kingdom...after I watched a few minutes of the first ep,I paused it,took a careful look at the art...and turned it off.

I don't see how that was a joke, especially considering that's how a lot of people in the world actually think, and it's just wrong. It wasn't even that exaggerated considering the vehemence with which I've seen people espouse that kind of belief.

Racists are in the minority. A majority of people secretly hold inconsequential discriminatory views on other races, like how many people in America think that the British are well behaved.

Maybe you grew up in a bad part of town, however the rest of the world is not like that-especially Japan.

Maji de Watashi Ni Koishinasai is one of the most popular VN among the american populace, it did not win the hearts of western culture by destroying it. In regards to the anime it's likely they tried to play off the casual racist jokes that Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai uses but ended up failing horribly, it would not be the first VN adaptation to fall short of expectations.

Sword Art Online. I quit when the incesty stuff started. It's a real shame too. That concept had real promise, just poor execution.

I've lived in several different countries in Europe, been to at least 12 or so others, and have met people from literally dozens of foreign countries. A lot of people DO think like that around the world, and are outspoken about it. It seems like you're the one who doesn't really understand the issue.
Besides, considering the homogeneity of Japanese society and the fact that many Japanese still deny, minimize, or even make light of the war crimes and atrocities committed by Japan during WWII even to this day, I don't really get why you're saying "especially Japan".
And for the record, I was simply saying that that part in the anime really rubbed me the wrong way; I was never even talking about the VN. I never questioned the quality of the VN, or its content in regards to cultural views; it is completely irrelevant in this situation.

I appreciate the fact that you have experienced the world, but I believe you cannot state that the entire world is racist without seeing a majority of the world's population. Also note the fact that people are more likely to let the opinion of the masses override their own beliefs in areas where expression of ideology could mean isolation or even criminal punishment. Frankly it's a huge pain to discern global truths about populations, especially when they have a tendency to be dishonest.

Every country wants to look good in front of the others, no country wants to admit to being a mass murderer or starving citizens to fund wars. Let me elaborate on my especially Japan. It's true that Japan is xenophobic, that nationalists still look down on other countries however Japan has shown inclinations to, from a distance, respect other cultures which is a huge step.

It is relevant because Minato Soft and the affiliates in the anime production would put their foot down if one of their productions was incredibly offensive to a demographic as large as Western society.

Try to keep an even head about this, no need to get worked up about something like this.

When did I ever state the entire world is racist? When did I say anything even remotely close to that? There's a huge difference between saying that those sorts of beliefs exist and are expressed openly, and saying that the world is racist. I wasn't really getting that worked up about it before, but the fact that you are putting words in my mouth to such a degree IS now greatly offending me.
I have a number of other things to say to this, but frankly, I'm getting tired of this discussion and I figure that it's going to go on forever at this rate, so I'm just taking the initiative and stopping right now. Good day.

Apologies for insulting you with my typo. *entire=majority of the

I will respect your decision for an immediate conclusion and hope for a more laid back debate if the time ever comes again.

It was only decent until Fairy Art Online started, then went downhill from there. It would have been better if it turned into something like Accel World instead of the SAO game just ending.

Yeah, but i pushed through and by doing that i had watched one of the most epic and worst anime animated in history (probably). Well, seriously Kingdom is good but the manga would be better with the gore and it got a LOT better on season 2.



I dropped it on the third one where they woke up on the bed scene and that moment was that i said "fuck it"



Well, i won't really react to the political proselytizing but if could say i could rate the anime 7/10 since the VN is goddamn good. But i tolerated it and i guess that you just dont want those kind of things on the anime

I'm the kind of person who usually NEVER EVER drops whatever I watch even if it is crap.. because I'm picky about what to watch. but sometimes my inner fangirl takes over and I watch things for stupid reasons like voice actors, OST composer, characters or animation studios. If it turns out to be too hard for me to watch I just watch it with breaks.. but these three really disappointed me and got me all hyped for nothing so yeah I just dropped all of them and sobbed for 1 week after dropping them.. I felt bad about dropping them but I knew I wouldn't be able to handle all those rainbows and unicorns. I felt betrayed lol. might take them up again the day the world stop producing new anime..

Choujigen Game Neptune
Ikoku meiro no Croisée
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

(X-men anime)

Made me think of shows with certain subject matters. Shows that resemble K-on set up of "a group of, often 4-5 females, doing irrelevant things for the purpose of looking attractive (moe) for the camera (often with shoujo-ai/yuri undertones)".

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka once it reminded me of "Yama no Susume"
Yama no Susume once it reminded me of "Tamayura".
Tamayura once it reminded me of other things leading up to "Minami-Ke"
Minami-Ke once it reminded me of Ichigo Mashimaro, but not as funny, comedy being subjective anyways, which is what made Ichigo Mashimaro an enjoyable experience for me.

Senra Kagura... Looked like Himawari! with 10x the fanservice replacing most everything else, and I had a hard time getting into "Himawari!", so I wasn't willing to try.

Vivid Red Operation... Reminded me too much of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, but with the type of over used main character that, in my many years of watching anime, I've only grown to detest at this point. (specifically) Once I got the gist of the protagonist personality I lost interest.

Galileo Donna, I really tried with this one, I wanted to be interested, but I just fell out of that bit of interest I had by episode 6-7. I was really hoping for a Coyote Ragtime like series from this one. It wasn't a "specific" scene but the direction the series shot for, which I felt was a lower bar than it could achieve.

(My growing detest for anything idol related should be known already from my last post in this thread. The only one I can manage is AKB49, which keeps me interested with the crossdressing, but is typical, for me. Outside of the crossdressing setting the series leaves me bored most of the time. So much so, I am stuck on volume 5 (I think) trying to motivate myself to continue.)

Typical (for me) Harems...
Seikoku no Dragonar, (specifically) when I could jump episodes without it harming the story.
Da Capo (whatever number their on)
Dansai Buri no Crime Edge
Unbreakable Machine Doll
Freezing S2
Strike the Blood, literally felt like I was watching "To Aru no Majitsu"... (specifically) Once this happened, around the second ark, I dropped it.
To Aru no Majitsu (s3), I swear I finished s3, but out of uncertainty I watched it again, and I still feel uncertain...
Maken-Ki (specifically) I stopped around the 3rd-4th volume of the manga, when it still hadn't gone anywhere.

Typical (for me) reverse Harems...
Amnesia
La Corda d'Oro
Kamigami no Asobi
Diabolik Lover

(Most Harem series, if ever, brings 1 or 2 new things to the table while the rest is something I've seen too many times before to get excited for. Is it too much to ask for something that doesn't have the entire opposite sex of the cast revolving romantically around a protagonist, displaying that they literally have nothing better to do but...)

Danganronpa... I couldn't understand the appeal. It kinda felt like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni in regards to the looming dark undertone, but the characters were too flat, the significance of death was glossed over, the whole situation was too rushed into a "believable scenario", and the perpetrator is... underwhelmingly stereotypical. An asshole who enjoys killing but can't be killed. I would have tried if the series wasn't as blatantly uncaring for it's cast as it was. (specifically) The effortless death of the snobbish idol is what killed it for me.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova... Couldn't figure out the appeal and goal... It ultimately reminded me too much of Gun Parade March (the Manga), but no where near as interesting, for me. I don't have a specific scene, but the overall first episode only made me miss my lost "3rd(final) volume" of Gun Parade March.

Valvrave... Reminded me too much of Infinite Ryvius which was so much more deeper and better thought out for an overall more interesting experience. Wasn't a specific scene but the overall of what I watched kept reminding me of how Infinite Ryvius did it better while this series half asses it, till I just couldn't take it anymore and dropped the series around mid way.

Akuma no Riddle... I really tried with this series... The settings, convictions, and motivations were too ridiculous for me to follow... It just made me want to re-watch Noir, Black Cat, Darker than Black, Kite, or any other assassin based animes that I was able to get into a lot easier. (specifically) the protagonist instantaneous change of fidelity.

TLDR...
Since I've been watching anime for a long time, things I see too often start to rub me the wrong way, and the series I see of a higher standard causes me to apply it to other series with expectations that they should also "aim for better as opposed to recycle the norm". Blade and Soul validated my thinking in this regard. Trailing off... With as much as I've watched, it's hard to settle for something I've seen too many times before.

Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!
It was one of the few animes I've watched where I was simply bored shitless by it.


Pokémon
Stopped watching half way through the Johto league, mostly due to it stopped airing on channels we had access to. Though I've read a lot of Bulbapedia pages and apparently I'm not missing much as they've been doing pretty much the same thing each season like they've done with most of the games; with new Pokémon and very little actual character development.

Oh and it seems the concept of aging only occurs when it's conveniant to the plot.

Same, I watched like 3 or 4 episodes, but I was just thought meh, screw it.

In Valverave The Liberator, with the rape scene then how quickly they changed the lead male character's love interest.

Infinite Ryvius spoiler...
