ITT> Immediate turn offs in anime that make you drop a series, or refuse to even start it.
For me, it's reading the synopsis and seeing Chinese names or production companies behind the animation. (Chinese history is fine, I'm talking about Japanese VA's (or more rarely, Chinese VAs) over a cast of Chinese Characters in a non-historical genre, such as sci fi, slice of life, isekai, etc.)
As an aside, if anyone has irrefutably good Chinese anime that I shouldn't skimp over, please hit me with that.

Traditionally: Anything that looks like Clannad.
Recently: Anything Chinese. Those fuckers can't do anythinf right.

Pic not related Mecha - I don't care how much praise it's got (EVA, Code Geass) I refuse to watch giant fucking robots. Ecchi - Only if there is literally no plot and only PLOT. Even if it's a shitty plot I need something besides tits and ass. TLR being my prime example of no plot, but I also hate it for Rito's power of tripping and falling into girls panties. SoL in Fantasy settings - I honestly am not sure why, I just find it extremely boring. Over the top action - This might also be why I hate mecha, but a non-mecha show would be Jojo. I watched the first 5 episodes during part 1 when it was airing and it was just plain annoying.
One thing that won't get me to drop a series but it is just right there on the boarder between dropping the series and pushing forward is when there is an English speaking character and they are speaking awful English. Just hire a proper voice actor who can speak English or don't put those scenes in the anime or just always speak Japanese and have some internal dialogue that they are actually speaking English but we hear Japanese.
Little sister/brother shit Retarded genky main love interest

Everyone ITT :Start branching out. It took me a long time to start doing this, but it is more than worth it.
This user for example Anyone who has seen Eva can tell you that it isn't about the giant robots. It took me a long time to get around to watching Evangelion too, because i have no interest in mecha. Now it has a firm place in my top shows. The series + EoE is a masterpiece.
Personally the turnoffs i have usually involve art. If there is a long running show with shit art, the plot has to be either really fast or niche. Plot alone can not drive a show. If i cared about pure plot i would watch 3dpd. Also, blatant lifeless neo-harems. Clannad and bakemonogatari are both technically harems. However, they are done in a way that isn't blatant self insert MC style fuckery. Which makes them good shows.

You read that as turn-ons, we're talking about turn-offs here.

You mean instadrops, right? >sportshit >any music focused show especially idolshit >any drama/romance focused show that's not a comedy >CGshit >anything that looks cheaply made >anything non-Japanese >anything with ensemble cast unless really well written and by that I mean every character they focus on is interesting There's probably other things I've forgotten as well as exceptions.

I'm with you on the Chinkshit.
On a more controversial note, brother-sister incest. Even if I like the characters, even if they're not blood-related, even if the plot is good, it makes me uncomfortable enough that it just drags the whole series down, regardless of its merits. Complete turn-off.

Hetare MC. Harem and love traiangles wouldnt be a thing if the MC had some backbone to just fucking choose the girl he likes. Nothing makes me drop something faster when the MC gets kissed by/confessed to by another girl in front of the main girl, and he just spills speghetti instead of clearing things up then and there.

>Isekai + highschool aged MC I like a good lowbrow shonen every now and then but I've not been able to enjoy a single "edgy loser high schooler goes into fantasy land to become the prophesied savior" series.
For me I've actually given up on Eva many times because of it not being about robot fights. I just want mech spectacles and luxurious combat but Eva always gets boring right when it's about to get good, for me at least.
New/modern sports, old school sports, or all sports series? I've been enjoying sports stuff as a palate cleanser when I'm bored of other genres.
spineless characters in general.I don't mind if characters are misguided, ignorant, stupid, or 100% evil but it's a huge turn off for me when they never grow a spine

Japan actually has slut posers though cause they think it makes them seem cool
