Reason to stop watching an anime

[mlcdl]

Now I am wondering if anyone here tried to watch an anime, but then lost interest because of something within the anime.


I guess I have mine:

On Erementar Gerad, they just put too much romance for an adventure anime. Each episode contained romance related content.

Who else has had the experience of not completing an anime and why?

[jhai0603]

Yea,, I didn't finish Kanokon and Amaenaidaeyo.
I don't know, but I just had the feeling that I would regret it if I were to continue those.
Blech.

[sawanikuya]

I just finished that in Philippine Dub ver :))

[MioAkiyama]

on ah my goddess masato's EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH = fail :P annoying too
and i think theres a thread like this very similar familiar?

[juanpeng]

Seiken no Blacksmith. after a while i found it boring duno why... i guess no anime will be truly perfect

[mlcdl]

Seiken no Blacksmith. after a while i found it boring duno why... i guess no anime will be truly perfect


Yeah because there is truly no such thing as perfect

[Pascon]

I can't remember what that movie name but, it really bored me out.
I just watch it for 20 min but I feel like I just watch it for 1 hour or more till I......*yawn*

[jeiru01]

Naruto and Bleach, although good, the fillers made me loose interest.
me: get to the point already! It has been 5 episodes already about that short fight! stop remembering the past will you?!
anime: next episode
me: UGH!

[kaien011]

my reasons:
higurashi no naku koro ni - the first scene shocked me, too bloody and morbid, i didn't last a minute (i don't mind these types of anime, but it's a big no-no for me to see a bashed head on the very first few seconds)
Ghost in the Shell - i don't really get it.

[mlcdl]

my reasons:
higurashi no naku koro ni - the first scene shocked me, too bloody and morbid, i didn't last a minute (i don't mind these types of anime, but it's a big no-no for me to see a bashed head on the very first few seconds)
Ghost in the Shell - i don't really get it.


To bad you can't continue higurashi well it's true that it was too bloody and morbid

[jzero99]

Yea,, I didn't finish Kanokon and Amaenaidaeyo.
I don't know, but I just had the feeling that I would regret it if I were to continue those.
Blech.

wew same here.. Especially Kanokon.. i dun like it

(I luv ecchi but why cant i like Kanokon!!)

[Haruya]

Well i have my reasons, i don't watch anime like i used to, i guess i've had it with all the cool,handsome,smart,quiet,calm,flawless,no emotion, guys and the high pitch,not a care in the world,too shy to confess to ur crush,good at cooking,never serious,always crying,never admits that she loves her crush,jealous when another girl clings or talks to her crush and treats him bad afterwords girls, and most of all they all go to high school, and they never have parents or they are not on good terms I swear its like the same characters in different titles.

[nannel24]

There's this one anime called maria holic.
I thought I'd love it but when I watched it I was REALLY bored.
But I continued watching it because I thought something interesting might come up to the point that I even finished it.
But there was nothing. I was like.. EHH?! darn it!!! I regretted it so much. I wasted so much time!!!!!!
From then on I swore to myself that i'll never continue wasting time for such a boring anime.

[kaien011]

To bad you can't continue higurashi well it's true that it was too bloody and morbid

i'll try to watch it again IF my brain and eyes can finally handle it. he he (i think that will take me a LOOONG time to decide)

[Sywen]

reasons to stop watching anime: to many clich?s and 'fan'service

i cant remember how many animes i dropped because they use the same old jokes over and over and over again.

for example girls falls from stairs and lands with her bottom on a guy. once is funny, twice is okay, 3 times is *yawn* .. and yet they stll use that old joke in any shallow anime with 'fan'service

for gods sake, use some creativity ...

[jhai0603]

I also stop watching if the series suddenly gets dubbed with another language. :x

[OVirus53]

Queen's Blade. Dropped it like a hot brick 1 1/2 episodes in. I couldn't tell what the heck was supposed to be going on in the story aside from the existence of some tournament to decide the next queen or something, and it focused way too much on bare female skin and bouncy giant boobs. I found it excessively annoying. I almost gave up 1 episode in, but I decided to give it a second chance a month later, and only lasted half an episode before I got annoyed again.

[Capone3830]

i'll try to watch it again IF my brain and eyes can finally handle it. he he (i think that will take me a LOOONG time to decide)

actually, its really worth a try. Of course, the first scene might be shocking, but after that the real story starts, and everything is explained properly.

You will get to know that the bashed heads arent that bad, but i dont wanna spoil here :3

I usually stop watching an anime if i am able to predict whats happening next. its just plainly boring if you see two characters and you are able to tell the whole relationship they will be going through in the anime.

[Sywen]

other reasons for example:
koihime musou : incredibly stupid moe humor. Boring me to death.
working!! : I was annoyed by the countless teenaged antics.

[solidoxygen]

I stopped watching KissxSis TV after I realized that it was a piece of rotten garbage that makes anime look bad.

I would say more, but I'd rather not waste my energy talking about garbage! After all, it would be quite foolish to have a conversation with your friend about the filthy paper or muddy rag that you tossed into the trash can, right?

[flamezaber]

reasons to drop an anime?
anime without the decency of at least having a MILDLY interesting plot...+ pointless fanservice that isnt even humorous= Epic Fail.

[lastshin]

no reason!!!!
anime is my life!

[Vipy1]

I liked Naruto at first, managed to finish Naruto but then Shippuden i finally just couldn't deal with his voice anymore so stopped watching
Still read the manga tho

So i guess just all around annoying nonsensical characters kinda turn me off from an anime

[mlcdl]

actually, its really worth a try. Of course, the first scene might be shocking, but after that the real story starts, and everything is explained properly.

You will get to know that the bashed heads arent that bad, but i dont wanna spoil here :3



Agree that it was totally shocking.

[AHLoveGun]

reason to stop watching anime would be it takes reality away from you and make
you fantasized about everything and make you hope and wish for the impossible
and then reality kicks in and makes you forget about everything ahahah that
would be a good reason but that doesn't happen to me so i just watch anime
because its funny

[Ephenyan]

anime that has a lot of talk talk and talk.
my brothers label 'em as "blabla anime/episodes"

[mlcdl]

anime that has a lot of talk talk and talk.
my brothers label 'em as "blabla anime/episodes"

What a good label of your brother did, it fitted those anime

[qwertyuiop10]

i regret anime if im not interested to watch.....

and that anime that make me bad!???

[Ceyrie]

Code-E. I'm not really into shallow plots in shoujo anime...nasty...

[dothacked]

Wish I could stop watching an anime after I find it boring but unfortunately I can't...
If I started something I'll finish it till the end and because of this I endured watching Cluster Edge that bored me from the very first episode and what's worse is that that anime is full of fillers and flashbacks... tchh.. I hate that anime..

[xiety]

^^ Cliche' anime are boring until you gave up watching it
If the Ep1 of the anime is not interesting why watch ?

If the anime hasnt any goal or didnt set an sensible ending meaning it ended that doesnt meets its people expectations



Whose eyes are those ? the eye of fun^10xint^40=Ir2

[mlcdl]

Well it's true that sometimes I based to continue watching some anime at the first episode

[xiety]

LoL all the anime i watch i base them from the opening and ending song ^^ in kawaii radio

well anyway Ep1 must have attention grabber so that people can continue watching it

First Impression Last

I have tons of anime i discontinued ^^ Naruto <------ One of it getting boring

[mlcdl]

Guess that I agree since taking the viewers attention is important to any show

[arbel13]

I discontinued watching Naruto and Bleach, hmmm I dont know why. Probably because of the fillers.

[xiety]

Yeah plus those freaking Fillers, why not end its season for a while so the manga can go further then animate it after the manga already made a lot of volumes

[arbel13]

Yeah plus those freaking Fillers, why not end its season for a while so the manga can go further then animate it after the manga already made a lot of volumes

I really wish they do that instead of adding those filler episodes.

[lolkaitlin]

Oh. I thought this thread would be like.. "why would you ever stop watching anime (in general)?" I was about to go all philosophical on everyone.

Anyways. Hm.
- Gintama. I watched the first episode and decided not to give it a chance because I couldn't pay close attention. Not interesting enough for me. I'm taking another stab at it though tonight. After I erm.. finish my homework.. :|
- Nana.. for some reason, I can't keep watching that. I'm around episode 7 and just.. can't.. do it. I feel like it's dragging on for me.
- La Corda Doro: primo and secondo passo.. Too boring and mediocre for me. A girl is given the ability to play violin and gets in on all the action with the prestigious students of the school? Nnnnnnooo. Lame.
- Koihame musou.. ugh. I can't. It's weird.

[gmachine19]

if the art is crap, I dont continue

[eliemusica]

when there is no tension in the story-ie:lot of fillers, talking non-stop, too many people sadden over a tragedy, just people running and fighting without really knowing what are they fighting for (suddenly the main char joins the fight, he doesn't even know what the fight is all about!) and many other reasons...but usually i watch like 4,5 eps to really know whats happening, if its too cliche, i stop watching also...<---lolz, did i sound like too picky? xD

[musikalles]

I have a bad habit of starting a show and not finishing it... they're all different, but k-on, inuyasha and FMA are examples of this. I may at some point go on to complete the latter two the best I can but k-on just really, really irks me somehow... the moments of musical creativity are few and far between with constant interruptions of boring nonsense and characters with annoying voices (yui) that I have to wonder why I just sat and watched it.

[Kobowo]

school days...it was too much for me....plus after peeking at the ending it just left me @_@

[IceykOpi]

Gintama [6 episodes into the show and does not find it interesting.] Higurashi no Naku Koro ni [5 episodes and find it too bloody.] Seikon no Qwaser [enjoy fan-service scenes in certain animes. however in this anime, really find it disgusting :vomit:]

[innovatio]

Higurashi was quite good if you can get past the bloody few episodes. there arent that many to be honest.
i kinda finish the anime that i started.

[Rasen Oh]

Code Geass S2 Some fool spoiled it for me on the net and after that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Ironically though, some fool on the net spoiled Clannad, but I still managed to finish it.

[Fubuki]

Kenichi, The worlds mightiest disciple: too slow

[icsenen002]

Vision is not what your eyes see, but an image that your brain comprehends
every beginning has an end
so finish up what you started and fight till the end so that you won't have regrets and die peacefully


Rest in peace... sayonara

just spamming if you get what i meant then good for you...
but if you don't?? thats too bad...

[flamezaber]

You iz trollin!!!
No but srsly, I like that phrase.

[BrokenAngel]

I had to stop watching Yakikate!! Japan because all it ever did was make me hungry and crave bread like crazy >.<

[tetsuo]

I dropped Bleach cause I really just stopped caring and honestly the fillers just pissed me off at how long they went on.

[venabre]

I tried to watch Princess Resurrection, but it seemed like it was going to be something like harem and didn't really had anything that really could catch my eye so I stopped watching it. Seikon no Qwaser is another anime I tried but stopped, I liked the story, but seriously, I don't know how I even managed to finish the first episode. Still I think I'm going to try and look for it but censored, maybe that way I'd be able to watch it.

Also a few month ago I started to read manga and wanted to read something that almost no one reads so I ckicked on the first manga I saw and at first it was interesting, it had a war and some creatures that were half human half animal and so, but then it began with all this love drama and he is the enemy, but he's a good person, and I love him but no I hate him, but no I love him and my friends says he's bad and he wants to kill him... I tried my best, but I just couldn't read it, I don't even remember it's name.

[onepiece]

studies of course! if it is a hindrance then stop watching anime.....

[Viletomb2010]

Vampire Knights- I do not know why I just get bored during ep5. I think because of the genre of the anime.

[alt143]

I have many unfinished animes. :) I don't remember them all, eh. :)
Maybe the reason was, because it's too ecchi. Another is when the anime is boring. >.<
And when it has too many episodes! Err. >.<

[Liberator]

hmm, well one i just couldn't get into no matter how far i got into the second season, K-ON just became boring, maybe i will try it again later but atm it just doesnt interest me

[Cetais]

Loveless: I hate Shonen-ai...

[lolkaitlin]

Storyline doesn't draw you in enough.
Too many fillers.
It's not like you've been anticipating.

Those are reasons why I'd stop watching an anime, heehee.

[MasterFSK]

I don't know why, but I saw the 3 first eps of Prince of Tennis, and said to myself; This CAN'T be good! I talked with a mate and he really sugested it. So I forced myself to watch around 3-4 more and was addicted xD

I started Devil May Cry, stopped after first ep... Was hoping it was like in the games and was dissapointed xD

[xVINVIN]

I'll not stop any anime even is not nice .

But I have no choice to stop anime for few months or even longer due to going Army .

Argh , I wanted to cryyy T.T

[MishyCandy]

I stop watching when the anime is boring in some episodes
~.~

[Rumic]

I doubt I will stop watching an anime even if the content sucks. I'll try to continue watching them despite the bad/not so bad content. The only time I will probably stop watching anime is if I mature mentally and take responsibility with my no life situation. That is a big IF. Since it will be a cold day in hell that I will mature mentally and stop watching anime for that matter. :haix:

[inubazh11]

If its not / stops being interesting, ill stop watching that anime,

[kraken414]

i guess if the anime becomes too boring and so not interesting for you. then you have to stop watching that anime XD it's just my opinion though..

[Vipy1]

i've being trying to watch Clannad for the past 2 years (or something like that) and im only on episode 4

Everyone always says that its so great, and its so wonderful, so then i try watching it again and i get about 5 minutes further into an episode and then i lose interest

I dont understand the reasoning behind this at all, i've managed to make it through way more boring and mundane anime than clannad, an example would be Naruto

something just goes off when i watch clannad and i feel the need to stop lol

[knipyoko]

I find lotsa anime who are really boring, i don't stop watching it though, i just skip to the last ep :p

[menisa06]

Koe de Oshigoto! very ecchi for me xD

Only episode 1 I watched,..................:D

[zeroichi]

hmm.... becausw its too boring i guess.

[Mei14]

I stopped watching School Rumble because it kept going on and on and was starting to become boring...

[riichanhime]

i stopped on the very first episode of an ecchi type anime.
i didn't dare to watch it after just a few minutes. ooooooh. O.O

[killing91]

I stopped watching One Peace, its soooo long that it has become boring. I stopped after Brook joined the crew wtf with the undead...

[whyouask]

I stopped watching Bleach, Naruto and One Piece after awhile, it got really boring as the series continued

[sugaredwater]

Bokura ga Ita - too much drama, to many cliche scences... I'm gonna puke. :|

[akroma088]

i stop watching Koi Koi 7....ive already watched 8 eps but im getting bored on it same thing happens every episode...

[kakusei52]

``SomeWhat Anime Does a Character Change On a Person Sinking much to it..Particularly Romance Anime.
like Lovely Complex[Though Lovely Complex Is A Too-Nice Anime]

[Aviansjeff]

reason to stop watching anime is when u got very bad condition(sickness) aahahaha.,,☺☺☺

[shinku]

I stop watching Shakugan no Shana.... it kinda bores me and Detective Conan its a good anime but its toooo long

[kamizaki]

if i watch all the anime.. (but its too impossible)

[Aviansjeff]

if i watch all the anime.. (but its too impossible)

maybe yes and maybe not.,,☺☺☺ it has and average ratio of 50-50 critical point ahahaha.,,☺☺☺

[FiQ5149]

hmm..sometimes i would stop if it had toooo many episodes..:blur:
and if it way too boring..but i sometimes can't stop watch it even if it boring..
i wonder why :haix:

[dynastar1080]

When a main character's personality annoys me. If I don't like the main character of the show, how am i suppose to like the anime. Kanon is my best example. I already don't like anime where the highschool boy is suppose to be small for his age (hence your really watching an 8 yr old get hit on by highschool girls. But they have him voiced by a girl and his mannerism in just epsiode one was like someone scraping their nails on a chalkboard. I dont mind ecchi animes, some are hilarious, but for some reason his character, by way of voice, personality, and actions, annoyed the hell out of me to wear I couldn't make it through the first episode.

[AoiHoshi]

#1 reason why (and everyone can agree with me on this one) = Fillers -.-

[SushilovesNori]

Love Hina. because it was just... so god awful. Every time the guy BREATHED she would beat him up. It made me rage so hard. It was the first time I ever realized that even though I'm a woman, I am DEFINITELY not a feminist. I'm an equal opportunity individual. If a chick hits a guy for a really stupid reason, I feel she needs to be hit back. Maybe not with his full brunt force (unless the dude is hella weak and can barely lift a spoon) but JESUS, I wanted to beat that girl with everything in me, and as I said. I'm a girl. I ...could go on forever on how much I utterly despise Love Hina but that would just make everyone else suffer.

End in point: I stopped watching it due to being tempted to purchase every copy in existence, and set it on FIRE.

[Aiyoku]

Bleach and Naruto, both because fillers anger me.

[tambulance]

I haven't found one yet honestly. Except maybe if the anime is a long running one that didn't have my full attention in the first place. I don't mind fillers as long as the anime itself was very compelling. I can usually suffer fillers.

[menupo]

Bleach.. Its become boring after they save Rukia xD lol

[jpmolo31]

I stopped watching Naruto and Bleach now...friggin fillers..

[crimson21]

when it is boring like hell..

like naruto.

[LuNic]

#1 reason why (and everyone can agree with me on this one) = Fillers -.-

I just skip the fillers :))
But, I don't think I can stop watching anime permanently.

[hotshot75]

Fillers won't stop me. I just move forward. :)

[seion95]

When the anime starts to be boring... I stop watching it. -.-

[Therese]

There's a lot of reason...
-Agree with tambulance: I wouldn't continue watching a series if it's long running and I haven't had my attention on it from the beginning
-If the series gets boring, like if the story is very common and no interesting points being raised
-No character development observed
-If the graphics is crappy and the story is also crappy >_<
-COntinuous Nonsense talking and talking and talking and...
-Very annoying characters
-Too overrated ecchi, cliche and service scene
-If I invested an emotion to a wrong pairing (the canon pairing isn't the one I like...)
-If a character I like isn't given much attention :(
-If a character I hate is given too much attention... lols...

There's a lot of titles I dropped because of those reasons... >_< I'm waay too much picky lately...

[gemzki]

I stop watching when the atmosphere is getting boring and when i already read it in the manga

[Mike234]

Melancholy of Haruhi... gets BORING especially at this "brilliant" joke in the second season where I had to watch one episode over 8 times cuz somebody got lazy and thought it would be funny to do something like that. -_-"

I also stopped Seikon no Qwaser, reason: Innapropriate boob usage. If you get this many boobs into an anime USE IT WISELY dont make them tools... they have a different purpouse...

[damien50]

-Slow and unengaging pace (Ergo Proxy)
-Similar to DBZ with excessive power ups (Bleach)
-Too much hype to be good (Haruhi)
-Copy and paste harem
-unbearable art
-crappy arcs! - Bount arc and beyond in Bleach - Thriller Bark arc in One Piece

I skip past fillers for the most part and that's only if I'm really into the manga and know the animation will be even better.

[DNAer]

I stop watching any anime when
-They become boring
-Contain a lot of fillers
-and when the animation is not good at all.............

[sevennights]

I stop watching when:
-> the story becomes too predictable
-> the characters in the story are not given enough time for development, making them "useless" in sense, even though they were introduced as major characters in the first part.
-> the animation doesn't get my attention (though I admit I watched several series with not-that-good-animation but with superb storyline)
-> there are too many filler episodes.

And I'll stop watching anime when:
-> I lose my connections to the net (nooo~!)
-> it's just a second before Earth gets overrun by Aliens, Espers and Time Travelers and we all get trapped in Endless Eight XD

[GalacticSyzy]

I /wish/ I would have stopped watching some. It really sucks when you hear a prophecy in the beginning and things turn out EXACTLY as it is foretold would happen. I generally expect something different to happen.

I've stopped watching some that were completely romance. I don't mind it with action, comedy, etc but if it is just straight up romance it just doesn't keep my attention.

[ranmachua]

When you have a hectic real life because it's either you devote yourself to your family or anime. You can't have them both.

[Ceres]

I've just recently discovered something about my preferences that fits into this thread quite nicely so I think I'll share ^_^

I can't believe it took me so long to finally pinpoint the fact that I really, really, really dislike adolescent male (read: boy) protagonists. Now, you might be thinking that excludes me from enjoying a whole swathe of shows, but it actually doesn't.

Shounen definitely isn't a genre I like so it's not that often that I come across this type of protagonist, fortunately. Anime that feature obnoxious, grinning boys who are drawn with an annoying "fang" tooth and who incessantly yell about every little thing automatically make me cringe and look elsewhere. I think it's because I, as a woman, never had to endure being a boy; I simply can't relate. So that type of character is definitely enough to make me stop watching a particular show or at least regard it with extreme hesitation.

Even though I'm really sad to see the show end, Kouki-kun in Usagi Drop tested my patience every week. And lately I've been trying to get into Eureka Seven but the kid protagonist is just . . . ughhh :/

[Reizero]

Bleach. Stopped at episode 220+ I just got sick of the fillers.

[DwinLylthx]

Air, somewhere in episode 5. Got bored on buffering. -.-"

[metalwolf72]

Eden of the East for me......I have no clue why I don't really like it. I should. It has all the elements I like in an anime. But for some reason it just didn't suck me in.

[PolPunisher]

My reasons for me stopping to watch anime would be work and a loss of interest. The latter of the two I pray does not happen to me.

[benito18]

just anime that I stop watching at episode 1 its DMC the drawing is so cartoonic.

[Ciloue]

I stopped watching XXX holic now,i dunno...it seems so fun in times..
and its soo boring ...and so,i just stopped watching the anime :P
(BTw whats up with the extremely long height....?)

[aishe7chrome]

all animes ive started already i am making myself busy in finishing them but sometimes the reason only im not finishing some animes is because its not interesting anymore

[Suffle]

Dropped fairy tail at episode 20

raged when natsu got to kill the demon instead of grey

+ never got drawn into the anime, just not my style. Didnt like the fight scenes either.

also dropped Beezlebub at episode 48 i think, they skipped over major parts in the manga and the animation for the fight scenes were bad, like really bad. not to mention they are making it a gag anime and not shounen like the manga. Hence nerfing the fight scenes /ignoring the serious parts of the manga and making more fillers

[error345]

If it gets boring that's enough to stop watching but i might try be willing to go through a few episodes to see how it turns out. Another major one is fillers, well everyone knows how annoying these can be at times.

[[anne000]]

I stopped watching Naruto, I got bored and stopped.
Well for some, I stopped because I have a lot of other
Animes to watch and I have a limited time...

[awnaman123]

my answer to that is simply I don't feel the atmosphere in that anime ..

[vispery]

I used to stop watching when the first episode was crap.But after i watched KHR im watching animes till the first 10 eps.People who have watched KHR will understand.

[Fadakartel]

seikon no qwaser that anime makes me weird when i watch it so i droped it

[azukare]

i will stop watching anime when i am allready lifeless hehehe

[KiWiichaan]

Onii-chan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki janai n dakara ne and One Piece, stopped watching all the fillers in naruto but I sometimes I still watch it...

[3boodxlife]

for some reason i cant see what the title have to do with your answer >.>

[lordknight]

Hmmm... My hobby? Collecting and building "Gunpla" or Gundam Plastic model kits may be fun and all, but building them and making them look very nice is hard work. Takes a few hours to build one, and I have tons of unbuilt kits right now, so I don't get to watch anime that much anymore.

[sigen92]

I stopped watching Kishin Houkou Demonbane... Too much mecha and just felt... I dunno... weird. I had better animes to watch!

[DacKeith]

Reasons to stop:
1.It is boring..no.I can handle boring but add it with stupid puns and jokes....tada! I hate it!!
2.Pointless stories... but if add with really funny joke like azumanga diaoh, It would be awesome.
3.Too many fillers!
4.Not that good compare to something that I watch earlier
5. I finished the manga
6. Takes too long to show the point like naruto whic takes like 4-6 ep. just to show the point
This is all that I can think off now

[GameShark]

naruto/bleach.
i plan to continue but it got so tiresome watching fillers and slow plot i stopped watching ~ 6 months ago.

[driftangle]

too much ecchi and pantie flashing there are limits

[DarkDenizen]

too much ecchi and pantie flashing there are limits
I agree...I stop watching anime because of too much ecchi or too much gore....

[shadowsoul18]

i stop if the story is boring. If its filled with ecchi but has a good story overall, i skip past it.

[kyube08]

I dropped some anime if the story is not interesting..

[christianmes]

Beelzebub at first i find it Funny but now boring >.<

[lelouch1]

I totally have....
Some animes have the same plot stories with one or two little changes...uhhh those get boring quick
Same jokes...come on can't u think of something new
too much Romance...enough said
Slow story....i dont have time for that
charcters react so unnatural....im like wtf

thats all i can think of off-hand

[Bunislipper]

I stop watching an anime if I find the plot is boring and there really is no solid foundations to the anime. I also hate ecchi as many above have said and that usually throws me off an anime because I end up not being able to take it seriously.

[newbie97]

hmm it getting crappier by the episode
also having an annoying or useless main character
having a crappy story
not being fond of the genre
when it bores the hell out of me

[christianmes]

and also anime with so many filler episodes :O

[whoatemynova]

I usually dont stop. unless they have really long fillers like naruto and bleach

[flamepan]

i finish pretty much everything else its epic. i mean i even finished... green green *cringe* but usually i will stop at the 10th or so ep when there is 2 eps left because i dont want the anime to end and will come back to it later.

[MarilouParu]

well seems like i cant finish the long-ones like bleach or one piece... i love them but after a while i get tired of watching the same characters all day long.. i watch about 50 eps then i stop for a month or two and continue later... in bleach i also stop whenever there is a filler chapter (so i stop aaaaaall the time)...
and generally i stop watching an anme when i get bored but i usually try to watch it again after some time.. except from ecchi.. if its ecchi i stop and never touch it again O_o

[xOtaku]

I stopped watching a lot of stuff either 1)the beginning of the anime didn't catch my interest or 2) boring plot.

[Bane13]

1 or 2, I dropped from disinterest. Otherwise, it's the usual immature garbage: ecchi, fan-service, harem, misogyny = dropped.

School Days ~ didn't like the start of the story so i skipped it and watched the end xD

[Cheap Impact]

Maybe I'll go for Bleach for this one... At first I love to watch the anime of it up until the Hueco Mundo arc where Ichigo finally faced Aizen... then after that, lots of fillers unrelated to the plot, plus when resumed to the main story, the impact of the anime decreases... they just fight and fight, no good story plot to show, unlike up until the Hueco Mundo arc... So I decided to stop watching it, just reading the manga for the sake of finishing Bleach and to kill some boredom...

:huh:

There are some animes you stop watching coz you get bored of them...the maybe after some time you finish them....i remember when i was bored of bleach. a couple of months later i was watching it again.

additional:

genre/s that I don't like and boring shows ...

[Naruhina101]

first is because of study...
second is my priority... ^^

[orangeblo0dz]

when the story becomes really slow..... or nothing seems to make sense anymore

[legendblade]

My reason i stopped watching an anime because a character annoyed me.

[Honest]

Bad story, lack of romance, too much ecchi, etc.

[Fr3e1Up]

yea avatar the legend of korra i got to episode 3 and i couldn't take it anymore, it doesn't compare to the original, to many changes they put into it

[Kyandesu]

It happens to me a lot, because I am really picky with the anime I watch. If an anime turns out to have girls (even if it's just two) fighting over a boy's attention, then I lose interest--especially if one of those girls is the boy's sister. If there's excessive fan-service, I'll definitely stop. I stopped watching Bleach when it got to the first major sub-plot (those vampire-like things...) because it just got boring after that.

[Higeki]

Peach Girl.... That show needs to rot in hell.

[lastshin]

anime I lost interest...
I would say one of those for me is bleach, fillers made me loose interest to keep watching....


guess as time pass by, I get more picky... D:

[cyrax43]

oh wow.. hmm.. actually i got alot of animes that i stopped watching, i dont really have a good reason, its just that i get bored, the worst part is i usually stop watching the anime when its near end.. i remember watching ouran highschool host club, dont get me wrong its an awesome anime, but i stopped at eps 23 i think, same goes with other animes like tsubasa chronicles, nodame contabile and many more.. bad habit really.

You should really finish Ouran High School. It's so funny. I was very sad when it was over.
