Ever run into a bad anime you couldn't finish?

I'm usually really anal about finishing things I start (books, movies, series), but Hana Yori Dango just took the cake. I stopped after just two episodes.

Like Nekohime, I, too, am usually pretty determined to watch an entire anime series, thanks in part to some not-actually-OCD OCD. However, a short list of animes I've decided to put on extended hold are as follows:

Death Note (I forgot the word for it, but the whole "complex plans fall into place perfectly" symptom started straining my nerves.), Ikkitousen, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (I may continue if I finish my list of 20 animes to watch), Fight Ippatsu Juuden-Chan, Xam'd Lost Memories (though if people recommend, I will pick back up), and Bleach.

1. Naruto - once it hit the fillers
2. Azumanga Daioh - just didn't make any sense to me

@ Zero OBK and Kaimax GOD that is a lot of anime you guys watched!

Ugh, I'm so anal about watching that I actually watched every single Bleach episode, even the fillers. Naruto too, although, I'm on hiatus on that one while I finish watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Sure, I wanted to throw my fluffy slippers at the screen after some episodes, but I watched it anyway. =.=

I'm kind of one of the type who finishes what they start, like Clannad ~After Stories~, after that ONE PART (avoiding spoilers, but y'all know what I'm talking about) I wanted to shoot myself and quit, thank God I didn't...

I almost quit Valkyria Chronicles, just the love triangle pissed me off, but it was good otherwise

K-On I did, not to interested in music.

The Sky Crawlers, may pick it up again, I couldn't get into the night I watched it.

Gun X Sword, didn't finish, got removed of off netflix, but haven't put in the effort to see again.

Mezzo (something like that)

Chaos;Head

I got to ep12 with one more episode to go but I just couldn't go through with it. IT WAS LAME>




These gems should not be on anybody's drop list.

Basilisk, i don't know what happened with this one...i guess the story was slow as hell or the fact that the ending was in the first episode meh

excel saga, i got through 2 episodes of this before i said fuck it and turned it off...i felt like i was losing brain cells watching it.

School Days - It showed promise, but after 3 episodes it didn't catch my attention so I quit.

K-ON: Tried to watch it, Meh.
Naruto: Fillers.
Bleach: Bount Fillers.
Lucky Star: Dropped after episode 1.

Oh I have another one I dropped. Violinist of Hameln anime. I seriously love the manga to bits, but the anime was horrible. Just horrible.

I think i might of dropped more then i actually finished
To-love-ru
Bleach
Naruto
Gantz
Oruren High School
H2O foot prints on the sand
School Days

Why would I continue to watch something I either don't get (in my case Azumanga Daioh) or simply do not enjoy? If you like them that's fine, but not every one has the same taste.

I found Azumanga Daioh to be a complete and total waste of time, it made no sense to me what so ever, and after 3-4 episodes I went on to something I did enjoy. For me that's saying something, I am pretty easy to keep engaged and have dropped very few series.

Divergence Eve isn't 'inherently' bad, but I've still never been able to finish it. The boobage is too distracting to make sense of the story and there is one, unlike Aika or Najica where it really didn't matter.

Code Geass and Onegai teacher/twins.

I feel that this thread should be titled "Anime that you couldn't finish"

Removing the Bad, since Not all animes that I dropped was Bad to begin with.

Or maybe,
We usually rate anime subjectively ..
If i don't like this kind of genre --> Bad anime
I cannot enjoy it like other --> Bad anime

If we see it that way, this thread's title is appropriate enough.

What? Onegai Teacher was amazing! 3rd fav anime.

- Azumanga Daioh (ep3)

- Lucky Star (Not even the first ep)

We're not '07 users for nothing, y'know!



That sounds good until you realize that not all of us have the free time to watch everything. A significant number of the ones I've dropped were because of time constraints, and hell, I've finished worse anime than most of those on my dropped list. I have no idea how the hell I finished Rosario+Vampire Capu2 for instance.

Here's my list:

Mostly I have dropped them because I couldn't get into them or I didn't think I'd watch them later on.

But Omamori Himari I literally couldn't stand from the beginning. The animation was just too horrible to watch.
