Have you ever quit watching an anime?

My attention span is so short that almost always I'll watch one episode and be done with it.

Have you ever quit an anime, because you didn't like it, because you're like me, because of restrictions in your household?
 
Well, I quit watching the Pokemon and Digimon anime because I didn't like them anymore
 
If I quit watching an anime series, it's usually because I think it's awful, though I have unintentionally quit watching an anime series just from having taken a long break from it due to lack of free time to the point where I'd rather just attempt to rewatch it sometime later down the road.
 
I try not to but recently, despite having completed the manga for it, I stopped watching Black Butler....:panda: around season 2 it just got weird and it made me uncomfortable to watch. Reading it and watching it two very different things...:panda: (mostly because I don't really remember what I read).
 
  • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children/DemiKids - I didn't want to quit, seeing as I loved the GBA games, but they never got subbed past the first episode so it was kind of forced.
  • Black Rock Shooter - Turns out they just stretched the 50-minute OVA (which I thought excellent) into twelve episodes. I didn't like the forced expansion so I quit after the first episode. I might rewatch it someday, but there isn't a big chance of that happening.
  • Toradora! - I watched the first episode just a few days ago so there's a chance I won't drop it, but I think I will. At the moment it doesn't interest me very much; it looks like just another school anime with a goofy protagonist and hotheaded girl. I'll try to continue with it.
 
Know a popular, long running or even <20 episode anime? Then, chances are, I've found completing said anime too herculean an effort for little ol' me, despite enjoying most of those dropped series.

Oh, also every anime that has been adapted from a manga that I've read.

Another- I don't know why, but EVERYTIME I start this show, I just stop a few episodes in, and I don't go back to it until months later when I've forgotten everything. It's not that I don't enjoy the episodes I watch, but I've tried watching it twice now, and I still just get burned out by it for some reason.

Toradora- There was a point in time last summer where I was completely obsessed with anime, but near the end I just kinda stopped watching any of the shows I started. Sadly, this was one of those shows

Attack on Titan- Same reason as the one above

Sword Art Online- I got to the third episode, but my sister already told me the ending, and then people were complaining about how weird the series gets later, so I figured it wasn't worth it

Beelzebub- This was funny and all, but it kinda got repeitive

Tokyo Ghoul- I started watching the first episode, when my mom walked in and saw me watching it. Thankfully, it was at the part when the dude went on a date with that one girl, and not the scene previously where the naked woman was eating a person, but after that I got so paranoid that my mom might walk in that I stopped watching after the first episode

@ToxicWolf1132 I think you should continue watching Tokyo Ghoul it gets really good after a while. But that guy with the Purple Hair (Tsukiyama) is creepy and weird later on in the series, I really mean it.
 
I used to watch Fairy Tail whenever I had the chance; it was actually my first anime. But eventually, I got tired of it, mostly because of the overabundance of fanservice and "friendship saves the day". So I decided to take a break from it, and for some reason, started reading the manga. I still read the manga, but I haven't started watching the anime again.

Kill La Kill. I watched like 3 episodes and couldn't like it. I just... didn't like it at all?

Fairy Tail, because I just forgot about it, same with Black Butler. I just forgot ;__;

Naruto shippuden because it was pretty boring and not that good really

Usually quits after an episode if I don't like it (the story and the graphic). Sometimes I lost interest in some anime half way through, when they get boring. Though, there are some anime that I paused for a big while and completely forgot about them.

Ah yes, this brings me back to the days of my first ever anime (assuming you don't count Pokemon). Death Note. I watched one episode, shut off my iPad, and never watched anime again.

I watched the first season of Sword Art Online, watched episode one of season II, haven't watched it since and don't really plan to.

I pretty much quit most of my anime if it starts to get boring at any point at all unless I'm convinced otherwise that it will defiantly get better. I quit space brothers in the middle sao in season 2, ace of diamond in the middle and the list goes on. I still like those anime up to the point where I was quit

I mean, besides Pokemon, I haven't really dropped an anime I've started watching. It takes me a while to finish it, sure, but I've always gone back and finished what I've started. Even something like Pokemon, I'll still go back and watch eventually, but probably not any time soon.

Of course.

The only two I can remember at the moment are Diabolik Lovers and Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai. I watched one episode of Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai and didn't really like it :/ (can't remember exactly why).

As for Diabolik Lovers, it had absolutely no plot to it at all ._. I kept watching, thinking something would happen to spark a story but it was the same thing after the other with each character and the lead female character >.<'

I watched one episode of Parasyte, and while there was anything in that episode to hook me in, I still kind of wanted to keep watching it because I had heard good things about it, but really I wasn't interested enough.

I also watched the first few episodes of Nisekoi, but I didn't get hooked, it wasn't interesting enough imo :/

I quit watching Naruto at one point because I simply lost interest. It was interesting at first and heard good things about the series. I managed to get through at least 50 episodes. It will be unlikely that I'll get back into it ever again. xD

I quit watching bleach, because there didnt happen much in one episode, and that endured a whole season long
