Friendly reminder that if you drop less than 20% of the television anime you start you are either a shit-eater or...

Used to have one of about like 60-40 drop rate. Didnt really know what I liked, so around 40 percent i dropped. Nowadays, it's around 80-20. I do research now before to see if it's something I could get into.

KonoSuba is a great Isekai and comedy, dont know about the Harem aspect of it being too good. Naruto isnt even the best shounen.

What a hidden gem episode. Gives me pre-shippuden vibes, back when the series was half decent.

Shippuden filler is art.

You'd know.

I pick up less than 4, then up to 2 more.
I rarely drop 'cause I'm picky.

These two episodes were from Osamu Kobayashi's (BECK, Paradise Kiss) stint directing four episodes of Naruto. It was really nice stuff and I recommend checking out his other work.

>not having developed sufficient knowledge of Chinese cartoons to predict exactly whether a show will be decent or not without even needing to watch it
I want newfags to leave.

She is cute.

Or someone who hasn't had the time to watch shit and has a job and life?

Do you count stuff that you drop during the first episode as drops?
Because there are rather few anime that I drop past that point

None of these things you mentioned have any redeemable artistic value whatsoever.

newfag trying to show off

then you should kill yourself

What is this
>I am not a newfag I do research meme?
I also do research yet that doesn't stop be from watching a lot of shit that I expected to be way better, and therefore dropping it. What is this supposed research to be? The worthless opinions of Yea Forumsnons? Staff list despite everything writer or director at least producing a few wortwhile works throughout their careers?

You're just not discerning enough

I can tell the besic idea behind the story and the character dynamics of any given anime by just reading up the summary, genre tags, and lurking a thread once or twice, to the point where I can fully participate in the discussion of the show without the people talking to me even realising I never watched a single episode. Seasonal schlock is very predictable and you'd have to be a legit retard or new as fuck to pick something up without knowing fully what to expect.

>dismisses works for superficial reasons
>haha you're simply not selective enough
And you have the audacity to call anyone else a newfag. Hilarious, really.
Given all the time you've just invested, especially the bit about lurking, you might as well simply have watched the first 3 episodes. That would likely have been a lower time investment. So how the hell can you call this researching when you ultimately waste more time orbitting the shows threads than you would be wasting watching it?

>dismisses works for superficial reasons
I don't think I do that at all.

Holy shit you're fucking stupid. I'd be lurking those threads even if I had watched the show. The point is I don't need to watch shit and still follow conversation and even participate in it.

Yeah? Well, guess what? Your mother, and your brother is the same person. Suck on that! You BITCH.

Or you could just watch it, drop it after 3 episodes and never enter the threads because the show was shit, wasting less of your time. What a retard.

>1129 TV series watched
>0 dropped

I enjoyed 1128 of them. Sucks to be you newfag OP.

Is it worth wading through >10 shit shows to find one good one in a genre you don't like? Even if you've got to >1000 shows watched and are just looking for something new it doesn't seem worthwhile.

Imagine choosing what anime to watch based on the threads that are being posted on this newfag board.

Attached: 1548575303505.jpg (500x500, 131K)

I hope there are at least 1000 movies to match those television anime, otherwise I am not sure why you're pissing away your lifetime.

I drop shows because they suck and can't fill one season with good content.
genre plays into a bit too I guess. I'm more likely to finish a bad horror show than I am a faggot ass harem one.

You never post in or even enter threads about shows you thought were shit? Do you seriously expect me to follow along your disingenuous bullshit line of reasoning?

>posting in hugbox generals where 95% of the people will accuse you of baiting once you actually form an argument that criticizes the show in question
Not sure what board you've been browsing but Yea Forums is literally hugbox central. People who just want to have "fun". Who throw a fit once you tell them that their show is shit. Waste of time.

anime is no delicatessen, things dont spoil who gives a shit if you waste 2 minutes of bandwidth to check out some anime
OP is your regular retard trying to piece together some sense of worth using the media he consumes, disgusting pig

I never dropped an anime

havent dropped a single show tho i've only beeb watching actively for 2 years.
i generally try to stay above the 7.0 ratings on MAL though thats not a hard rule. If something with a 6 score looks interesting ill give it a go. there are only a handfull of shows i didnt enjoy and had to force myself through.
And i never watch anything thats hasnt finished airing. mediocre shows seem so kuch worse if you have to wait each week for the next episode. if you can watch the entire season in half a week or so they often seem a lot better. at least imo

That used to be a viable tactic but it hasn't been for years. Loads of kino gets rated below 7 these days since the demographics have shifted to EOP children and women who have universally shit taste.

To be fair I probably would've missed shows like Hisone to Masotan if it wasn't for the threads.
It's good for finding out about less popular shit.

>Loads of kino gets rated below 7 these days
Name 5 recent examples

It's gonna be a bunch of mecha shows a la Captain Earth and G-Reco, just wait. In my experience, the only "kinos" that get rated below 7 are 00s and pre-2000s works, and it's dozens of them. Modern, currently airing anime are overrated across the board.

I wouldn't use the term kino like him but there's 7 anime this season rated below 7 that I'm liking. Manaria Friends in particular shows why scores on that site are pointless when you know what you like.

>And i never watch anything thats hasnt finished airing. mediocre shows seem so kuch worse if you have to wait each week for the next episode.
I couldn't disagree more. You can finish basically anything if you just watch it weekly while it becomes a chore to watch anything that you aren't highly interested in if more than 2 episodes pile up. Also weekly airing gives episodes the neccessary room to breath and think about them rather than just droning on with the next episode.
The only benefit binge watching has is that people don't have to use their brains to remember what happened.

Can't say I agree. If something doesn't spark my interest on a really big level, I'll put it on hold after 3 episodes and finish it at the end of the season. Happens all the time. I have no motivation to watch these serviceable shows weekly. They aren't bad enough to drop like others, but not good enough to watch weekly, either.

definitely also funny

Any ecchi or cheap 3D shit is usually 6-7 or below.

I rarely drop anime, if you drop 20%+ of the anime you watch you're too new to the medium and hasn't developed any semblance of your own taste for anime.

>muh taste
Newfag please leave. If you had actual experience you'd realize that this is a complete meme. Also filtered.

taste is based entirely around building a filter based on which you perceive something to be good or not and dismissing things based on it. Consuming literally everything like a couch potato is literally the inverse of having taste. It's beinbg braindead.
Speaking of filters

If you were to watch everything then I'd expect you to have a droprate of 70%+. Being selective still should force a droprate of at least 20% for the simple reasons that something can (and should) still be way below your expectations. If that never happens you're either a newfag or a shiteater. Don't chalk it off as experience, because that isn't the case unless you literally limit yourself too a single subgenre.

For current tv I probably drop 90%.
Like if Yea Forums bamboozles me into checking out 10 seasonal trash shows I might finish 1 of them. Might.

>caring about seasonalshit at all instead of waiting a year or two to see how it holds up before watching it

You are supposed to eat up everything at first then only pick up shows that match the anime you have found interesting. From 40+ anime there is per season you should be able to watch 5-15 of them without picking up the garbage that you know you won't like.
The only anime you should be dropping are the ones you had expectations at first but somehow went wrong, you shouldn't pick up anime at random just to find you don't like anything because you don't know your own taste.

>needing Yea Forumss recommendations
You should only check out one of these anime Yea Forums is enjoying too much that somehow you didn't pick up at first. Don't get recommendations at random from Yea Forums, everybody likes different things here. No wonder you only like 1/10 of them.

How many times do you have to get tricked to work out how to avoid it?
All it took for me was how shit KLK and Toradora were to not blindly follow Yea Forums again.
You can still get a good feel for shows here but it helps if it's something you already have a least a bit of interest in.

>Having no standards must be hell
The opposite feels like it'd be hell to me. I can't imagine how much you must hate anime if you can only find a couple of shows you like each season.
Remember there's nothing to stop people liking all the shows you like as well as others, so they can get the same enjoyment as you and then more elsewhere.

>i'm a proud scatfag
Congratulations.

>he doesn't gain his enjoyment from studying and exploring the few great works this artform has created
I genuinely got more enjoyment out of reading books my favourite show takes a lot of its inspiration from than I got out of 90% of the anime I've seen.

Not him but I only watch usually one show per season and I definitely don't hate anime.

Masterbait potential

>How many times do you have to get tricked to work out how to avoid it?
I don't think I'll ever learn. But it's not really blindly, and it's usually something I have an interest in. I just always, always forget that a lot of people here have more time than taste.

>not knowing your own tastes so well that the only shows you pick up are all masterpieces
you can instantly tell a show is shit if the Yea Forumsiring threads are all screenshots with no discussion

Should I watch the ovas?

I never drop shows I start, but if I didn't like it I don't watch the next season if it exists. Even if something is terrible, I might find something I like about it like the VA or music.

I swear the board would be better of if anyone who uses the word "kino" would get ban

think of the shaftfags though

How many anime have you seen I wonder.

They can still talk about their shit being cinematic.
Just not that fucking Yea Forums buzzword

>he doesn't invest 1 week of philos to understand the show he finished
>he doesn't write a 10k+ word critique after finish a show

And people still believe they develop "taste" without putting a little work into it.

Jokes on you shitters, I don't even watch anime anymore, that's how great my taste is.

300

Yikes.

Likely a bait thread but I really think that the whole mentality of being a completionist and not dropping even shit you hate is retarded. Anime is supposed to be a hobby, not something you force yourself to watch.

Her tightness

>he doesn't write a 10k+ word critique after finish a show
Public critiques are nothing besides intellectual masturbation. Unless you're getting paid for it, then it's a job.

>he forces himself to watch 10+ shows a season
>he specifically asks for only anime and not manga
i dunno dude you're making a pretty poor case for that "yikes" here

Attached: 1550684596025.png (878x651, 552K)

No bait. I meant every word. As far as I am concered, completionists are either mentally defunct or happen to be newfags who justify their inability to drop shit by claiming to have taste and researching in advance. Just so happens that most of these people are complete newfags who have hardly seen jackshit, as can be seen in this very thread.

What was the one show?

Yes, I'm going to pick up garbage on purpose, just so I can satisfy a random statistic an autist on the internet made up. I'll go do that right now.

Kurokami.

There's a magical thing called "reading the description before watching the show".

>I enjoy eating shit
>sucks to be a newfag like you, teehee~
Ahem...

Except that the description doesn't tell you at all if you're gonna like the show or not.The only way to find out is to start watching it.
So unless you want to waste your time with bad shows you have to drop at least 80% percent of everything you start.

>pick shows based on description or user feedback
>never watch Cross Ange or Samurai Flamenco because the plotfags whine about the shoddy writing
>miss out on legitimately well structued shows that simply take a more unorthodox turn
Yes, I am sure that choosing shows based on description and user feedback will get you far. You're only going to miss dozens of great works, and hundreds of good ones.

No, I'm pretty sure that if I don't like isekai shit and I read the description of something and it tells me that it's isekai shit, I don't need to watch the show to see if I'm interested.
It's the same shit as avoiding manga because you don't like the mangaka.

>I never watch shows that fail to match my expectations
>how do I do it? well, for starters, I read the description! but I also have very low expectations in the first place so...
That's what I get from your post.

No you retard, I don't watch shows that I have no interest in.
I read the description of the show, see who is working on it and then give it the three episode rule and for some magical reason I barley drop shit.

>and for some magical reason I barley drop shit
Still only tells me that your expectations are low, and that you're shit-eater. Otherwise this wouldn't happen. Or you're like the other people ITT who have seen less than 500 anime.

Yes user, clearly everyone but you eats shit and that is why they don't drop 80% of what they pick up. It clearly has nothing to do with being more selective with what they pick up.

Good anime is rare and there's no point in watching the bland shit, so the only anime left to watch is the infuriating trash.

This, who the hell is stupid enough to try anything without checking whether you might like it or not?

It's nice to occasionally step outside of your usual area just to check. I don't do it too often but it sometimes throws out something good.
For example I put off watching Evangelion for 15 years after first downloading it because I didn't expect to like it and it turned out much better than I expected. Sometimes the lowered expectations can work in it's favour.
