New HTML/CSS rolled out two weeks ago. Be sure to check out the new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features.

We also added two new themes (first time in 4.5 years!). Thanks to seaweed for porting them over from OneeChan!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

Is there any anime that you dropped on the first episode?

Why?
>>
I'd tell you about it, but I've completely forgotten about them.
>>

rozen maiden
it was fucking horrible
>>
inu x boku SS

It gave a headache for the rest of the day. Like rubbing eyes on salt.
>>
Every fucking season.
Because they are shit.
>>
accel world
>>
I can only remember doing that with Black Blood Brothers.
>>
medaka bux - medaka was unbearable
hidamari sketch - I fell asleep yawn 4 girl slice of life moe, low budget

though I picked it back up later and got through sketch, it was ok.
>>
I dropped medaka on the first episode because I'm reading the manga anyway.

F/Z

Not joking, the episode was crazy long, uninteresting and I was confused as shit, and I saw a shitton of other episodes to sit through.

I just said fuck it.
>>
that shit you faggots creamed yourself over
the faggot who moved from tokyo to a small shithole and joined a class where they hated him and met the girl with shit on her eye in the hospital elevator
>>
>dropping anime

Casuals all of you.
>>
Boku no Pico
Not sure why I tried watching it in the first place.
>>
>>66296170
>the episode was crazy long

I have no face.
>>
Inu x Boku SS

I stopped watching and deleted the episode when the fox guy started kissing the main girl's feet.
>>
No, because 3 episode rule:

1: introduce protagonist, premise
2: introduce antagonist/deutagonist, supporting cast
3: shit should, by now, be gotten together.

If, by 3, it's still shit, then it will continue to be shit all the way to the end.

The inverse is not necessarily true: see Jinki Extend or ROD the TV.
>>
Fortune Arterial. I don't think I even got to the OP.
>>
>>66296022
Ergo Proxy. I don't even know why, I just knew I wasn't going to like it.
>>
>>66296206
40 minutes is wonderful if it engages and interests me, but since it didn't, yeah, it felt crazy long.
>>
I'm sure I've dropped lots of series on the first episode, but the only one that comes to mind is Nichijou. It was too randumb and not funny.
>>
>>66296080
You need to watch more of it.
>>66296129
But that's the point of Medaka Box.
>>
Kill Me Baby
>>
Angel Beat.

It just didn't catch my attention. Also I worried about further musical numbers.
>>
>>66296084
This
I haven't watched anime for 4 months.
I just watched all the good old ones and tried new ones but they were all fucking horrible each new season.

Waiting on spice and wolf s3
>>
Baccano.
I didn't see anything that really caught my interest at all in that episode.
>>
FLCL because it made no fucking sense.
>>
>>66296022
>Naze anal

Jesus christ that was one hell of a thread. Good times, good times.

you may actually enjoy it after a few episodes
>>
Mitsudomoe. It's really sad because I loved the humor and the OP but I just couldn't get past the designs...
>>
This season?
Space bros.
>>
Upotte or whatever it was called. I dropped it halfway through the first episode.
>>
>>66296288
Having just been all Three-Episode-Rule,

* Lucky Star
* Kill Me Baby
* Okusama wa Joshikousei
* Mitsudomoe
>>
Azumanga. Too unfunny and dull.
>>
>>66296469
>Lucky Star
Are you one of those who only watch serious shows?
>>
Zero no Tsukaima S3

In retrospect I'm amazed I sat through the first two.
>>
>>66296466
Upotte! is dependent on your gun-power-level.

So it's understandable if you didn't get and therefore enjoy it.
>>
>>66296413

Confirmed for either underage or mentally impaired.

Seriously, FLCL wasnt that hard to follow.
>>
No.

I usually give a show (not just anime, but live action as well) 5 episodes before I judge dropping it or not.

ALMOST dropped Amagami because the first episode of the first girl is so dull.

Glad I didn't
>>
I dont drop anything, because I dont pick shit anime to watch. You faggots need to get on my level.
>>
Upotte. I expected gun porn, I got child porn.
>>
>>66296515
not him but I dropped this one too
15 minutes of fun cooking tips gave me brain damage
>>
But OP, if I dropped anime, I wouldnt be able to bitch about it on /a/...
>>
>>66296553
Yeah a show about cute girls doing sexy things BUT THEY ARE ALL NAMED AFTER GUNS, USE GUN PUNS, AND USE GUNS THEMSELVES EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THE GUNS THEY ARE NAMED AFTER!!!!1XD.

Yep, it's too deep for me.
>>
>>66296681
Skip to episode 4, they fired the director that did the first 4 episodes. If you still don't like then oh well.
>>
Panty and Stocking. Didn't care for it.
Amagami. Also didn't really care for it.
Didn't dislike them or anything just wouldn't really want to watch.
>>
Highschool DxD

All these stories about absurdly hot women being somehow attracted to a fucking retarded faggot make me rage harder than any NTR doujin ever could
>>
Shigurui

So slow and uninteresting.
>>
>>66296681

To be fair, they got a new director after the first 3 episodes and the quality increased substantially.

Still not the funniest shit ever, but I liked alot of the VN/LN references they threw out.
>>
>>66296716
Will do this.
I felt bad for dropping something so early.
>>
>>66296515
Not at all. Having liked Azumanga, Hidamari Sketch, Mahoraba, I watched episode 1 expecting to enjoy it.

And then didn't


* Lucky Star
>I've tried several times, but the first episode is really, really, really shit.
* Kill Me Baby

* Sketchbook: Full Colours

Kannagi.

Once the childhood friend showed up I knew this show would go nowhere.

Lots. I usually forget about them soon afterwards.

You can tell with a high degree of accuracy whether the anime will remain as shitty as its first episode.
>>
Virus Buster Serge

I could hardly sit through the first episode. Applying the three-episodes-rule to this piece of shit was a horrifying idea.
And here I thought the series would be funny because of that hideous art.

Guys, I made a Linkin Park AMV for Naruto. Want to watch?

I dropped two of my backlog today:
Texhnolyze - didn't like it. At all.
Sketchbook full color's - cute girls doing cute things, likeable, but not really funny or interesting for me. Would never say that in "I wonder why I was even born"-girl's face, though.

Dropped Acchi Kocchi in the first episode because it was shit. Wow. The MC was a cat eared tsundere. How creative and 100% not cheap fanservice. Also, not funny, also, hated that bear-girl or whatever. Specially hated the heater scene "Oh, it's broken" "I can fix it" "I'll just make it 300 degrees hotter" "That is too hot". Wow, this is even worse than the typical "Hey, turn off your phones. Oh LOL it's mine!"
Dropped FLCL or however is called because it was shit.
>>
>>66297555
Funny, it was the inverse for me. I liked the first episode, then all the subsequent episodes were crap.
>>
>>66297463
This. I typically don't mind moeshit, but I don't see how this could appeal to anyone other than 12 year old girls.
>>
>>66296022
Regios and Rio. I don't have a concrete reason for it other than those two shows just rubbed me the wrong way. Well, Horizon did that to me too but it took me five eps to drop that.
>>
Bakemonogatari for that random as fuck panty shot within the first 5 minutes.

Strike Witches for the same reason and that it just looked stupid as fuck.

>tfw /a/ recommends fanservice anime for the "plot" and enjoyable anime for the fanservice

I don't even use /a/ for recommendations anymore.

Seikon no Qwaser. Fuck the 3 ep rule.

Oh, and I also dropped Panty, Stocking & Garterbelt on the first as well, IIRC.

MGX is a show I would recommend giving another shot, unless it's the drool that turned you off.

I like Heroman, Horizon (only after the first 4 episodes), and Pandora hearts but I can understand you dropping them.
>>
>>66297612
Idk, really. I couldn't even watch it till the very end. It's kinda cheesy and the plot is stupid. It's not even worth watching if you ask me.
>>
>>66298300
He's probably one of those faggots who only watch mature and serious stuff for mature and serious persons such as himself.
>>
>>66298090
The only explicit fanservice I remember is that first panty shot, and when that younger girl stripped for some reason

Oh and I guess the cat

That Scarlet bullet witch shit. It felt like every anime cliche in the book with shitty CGI and a Toradora clone. Absolutely awful

Nanoha because it was a CCS ripoff. But then /a/ told me to keep watching and then I found my one and only waifu, Fate-chan.
>>
The most recent? Achi Kochi for having KMB levels of dullness and unfunny
>>
>>66298645
and the power of friendship.
and the wonderfulness of a romantic two-girl lesbian relat--I mean, friendship.
>>
Loads. If I can't stand to sit through one episode, it's obviously not the show for me.

I'm pretty sure K-On was my fastest drop.
>>
Nichijou; I don't watch that many comedies, but let myself get convinced to watch it. First episode didn't even make me smile, let alone laugh. Dropped instantly.

Anything with a real plot, once I make the decision to try it I always wind up end watching to the end even if I don't find it all that great. The utter garbage I don't even start watching in the first place

>A-Channel
>Dragon Crisis!

They all just weren't interesting enough for my tastes.
