boruto, that shit is bad
- Tunahan 5y
  popular lol I have yet to see someone say boruto is a good show
  MistaAsh 5y
  There's a difference between popularity and quality....
  
  Despite the general consensus on Boruto, it is indeed a quite popular anime. A good number of people watch it and majority of the anime community at least has heard of it

When I was new to anime, in 2017 I watched s1 of aot, but didnt watch season 2. Now I just rewatched s1 and finished s2, and now I am questioning my younger self why the fuck I did.
- scafiy 5y
  lol this was me
- dad 5y
  i called aot trash a few years ago when i got to like ep 9, remembering back it seemed like nothing happened in those 9 eps but i definitely know i got to ep 9
- chiraxxz 5y
  And the best thing about this is that S3 is better than both S1 and S2
  larsshiina 5y
  Yep, s3 was amazing. Best so far.
r3trograde 5y
dropped re:zero simply because it was boring to me, might try to pick it up soon tho
homosexuality 5y
Rezero s2, soooooo boring.
Also: Rent A Girlfriend, Tower of God, Fire Force and BNA if those count.
- larsshiina 5y
  Wanna fight? Look baby emilia in the face and tell her that her show is boring.
  homosexuality 5y
  I'd do that, but i (sadly) can't talk to fictional characters :shrug:
- Bonta 5y
  the webtoon of "tower of god" is better.
toastyloafers 5y
Yu Yu Hakusho. Enjoyed the first like thirty eps of it, but the tournament arc got wayyy too repetitive for me.
larsshiina 5y
Oh, I also dropped steins gate season 2, legit no point in watching it if the ending of s1 was the ending of the entire series.
- ubaidbeast 5y
  Actually season 2 is talking about what led to the ending of season 1
  Watch season 1 until EP 22 and then start steins gate 0
  After that finish the last two EP of season 1
  Then you'll understand why season 2 is important
- Enzo344 5y
  Steins;Gate 0 is so good man, you can see how mentally broken Okarin is now and how his loss affects everything in his life and in his friends' lives. Also, it has Maho. Maho is easily top 5 characters in sg.
  Kastelhart 5y
  Maho is really the only reason to like it. Sad scientist had impact at first, but it was too prevalent and ended up making everything stale. Really goes to show how much Okabe's initial character really carries the cast.

Boruto. It was interesting at first, but it increasingly got boring.
TheOtakuOne 5y
I dropped Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You. It's not a bad anime, but personally, it was a little too whole-hearted for me and the romance was light. It was bland and I kinda knew where the end was heading. I just like to watch anime that has some extreme factor like being very cringy, very funny, very dark, or very romantic.
chroniko 5y
fire force because i felt like it was very boring, the execution was bad of its pretty cool concept, and it has wayy too much fanservice. im just not that in to battle shonen too
TheTrueSlugman 5y
shippuden, mostly because i watched all of original naruto in one binge and am completely burnt out
CallMeSaxMan 5y
the monogatari series
darling in the franxx (this show is BAD and you can't tell me otherwise)
quinetessential quintuplets
proma21 5y
I've dropped SAO after the Aincrad Arc.
- Kaiba's motivation was so stupid
- Kirito is the textbook definition of a Gary Stu
- Cool set pieces but bad execution in so many ways.
Fairy tail (50ish episodes in)
- I can eat all types of magic now I guess.
- Constant asspulls undermine the power system and characters
- The definition of losing the plot
- IshigamiSenkuu 5y
  Haha ye the fairy arc was pretty bad. If you did at least like the aincrad arc tho I could recommend just skipping the second half of season 1 and watching from season 2, it has 2 imo great arcs (and one shitty but luckily really short one as well :( ) Alicization is again good, and the animation in alicization is god tier.
P1k3r1 5y
Demon Slayer at about ep10 (been probs closer to 2 years from now)

I didn't feel the magic. It was alright but that's bout it.
- I've noticed the monster-of-the-week -style just isn't for me unless I really get invested in the characters.
- Thus far Tanjiro felt like the default shonen mc (e.g. deku from mha is not a perfect mc either and somewhat similar to Tanjiro, but at least he has his funny over-analysing side etc.)
- proma21 5y
  What about tanjiro you didn't like? I am just curious

trash
UnsaltedBiscuits 5y
Was told Rent A Girlfriend was good.
Watched only 10 minutes of the very first episode and got annoyed, I clicked off and did something constructive.
- AbnormalForm 5y
  RaG is a garbage fire, but it's the most entertaining garbage fire I've seen personally (maybe tied with SAO)
Wumy 5y
not the anime but
Dr STONE
couldn't see the hype other people saw. when i read the first 3 chapters i was like "oh. why does this have so much hype?" might pick up the anime in my attempt to not drop things
- TanishkSingh 5y
  I also felt like that but after 5-6 episodes when senku starts doing inventions, It's just so damn amazing!
- NotWeeb 5y
  This manga would appeal more to people who generally like science

Your Lie in April

It wasn't bad where I left it off, it's just that someone spoiled it for me and I didn't feel like finishing it

  Not including the name still spoils it

  Yh I got spoiled too but still watched it

TPN S1 - Dropped after ep 2. I didn’t like how some of the major scenes were adapted on screen. I enjoyed the way the story was presented in the manga much more; it had more intensity and suspense. All of that was lost once adapted on screen and the way some scenes were presented made the story become really predictable.

Naruto - Dropped the beginning episodes at least 5 times. Couldn’t keep my interest. I guess it’s not for me.

Haikyuu!! S2 - S1 was super enjoyable. The highs were really high and the pacing was pretty good, but the beginning of S2 ultimately couldn’t keep my interest. May consider giving it a second try.
Shinsekai 5y
k-on! because nothing interesting has happened, no conflict what so ever, might give it another chance tho
KON
- Hunkymunky5 5y
  K-On is the wrong show if you're looking for conflict lol
  Disco 4y
  The conflict
- viviloon 5y
  what did u think was going to happen in k-on lmao?
phleim 5y
yu yu hakusho, I was so bored
- proma21 5y
  @phleim Who hurt you?
  phleim 5y
  Nobody :)
- ChilTiN 5y
  im 60 episodes in and i think its a 7/10
  understandable if you drop it
NoLimitations 5y
re zero season 2, bakemonogatari and blackclover
- coldstormy 5y
  Bake?!
  NoLimitations 5y
  too much dialogue for me
  Kastelhart 5y
  Explains why you dropped rezero as well.
  NoLimitations 5y
  yea i can't keep up with subtitles when there is too much dialouge
Yakiyo 5y
Re zero just because i didnt like subaru

kakegurui, was boring af to me
AbnormalForm 5y
Fairy Tail, felt like it had all the things people complain about when it comes to shounen anime, and none of the positive aspects. Granted I dropped it only about 15 episodes through, but I had a sneaking suspicion it wasn't going to get much better.
- MajoJestic 5y
  It only got worse, so jumping off that early was a smart move.
FelineFowl 5y
Aggressive Retsuko. I didn't like much about this show and it was just annoying to watch. I didn't like the characters, the writing, or even the premise much after watching. I usually try to not drop shows but I couldn't get through the second episode. The only thing I could give it points for was the art style and animation - It was decently made as animation almost everything else was bleugh.

Re:Zero Season 2 Part 2, not my type.
aquamatic 5y
A popular anime I dropped was

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

I dropped it because I found it boring. I got up to episode three and then I dropped it. I may check it out again, and see if I like it.
- Loxem 5y
  I wished I dropped this back when I watched it. But I stuck with it, and unfortunately it didn't improve.
- Nocturnals 5y
  I dropped this aswell, i got to about episode 20 before i realised that alot of plot points were solved by pure coincidence
Torichan 5y
darling in the franxx was utter trash
RyoAswin 5y
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

It always focused death, sacrifice, blood, organ transplantation etc... It was disturbing to me.
- nostalgic 5y
  Well, on the other side it focused a lot on friendship, love and the journey of adulting.
  RyoAswin 5y
  I agree 100 percent with you. But the question was .. why did u drop it? I just answered to that question.
  nostalgic 5y
  You're right. I just wanted to mention that FMA: Brotherhood is not always focused on depressing topics. Just in case you didn't notice x
  RyoAswin 5y
  ha ok
Enzo344 5y
Saint Seiya, I only watched the first arc (abt 15 eps). The fights were boring as fuck, too slow paced
- proma21 5y
  @Enzo344 uh.. what.. How?
