What are some of the most petty reasons you won't watch a particular anime, /a/?

I won't watch a show if it's being done by Shaft or Kyoani.
>>
I won't watch a show if I don't see a thread of it on /a/ every day.
>>
If the art isn't good.
>>
>>141109088
I don't need to watch a show to post about it.
>>
You're missing out on some good shows if you're skipping shaft.
Avoiding monogatari is wise though.

I avoid kyoani shows too. Not out of principle, but rather, any time I try and pick one up it gets dropped 2 episodes in when I realise it's ass. Pretty ass, but ass

this to be honest
>>

>>
I won't watch a show about characters trapped in a virtual reality.
Couldn't even stand the "good part" of SAO, I just can't sympathize with that idea.
>>
>>141109088
I won't watch a show if it has Yoshitsugu Matsuoka in it.
>>
>>141109088
I won't watch a show if it's moeshit,SoLshit, or the fanbase is infested by weebs and normalfags. And if /a/ likes it.
>>
I'll drop shows if they have slow as fuck pacing
>>
Also if it's done by KyoAni
>>
I've dropped airing shows I kind of liked because I fell too far behind and didn't want to sit through all the episodes necessary to catch up.
>>
Because I've already seen it.
>>
anything by kyoani, anything that has to do with the Fate franchise
>>
>>141109088
If the main girl is being posted everywhere
that small girl with brown hair i think her name is myaano
>>
>>141109318
So you don't watch anime?

>>141109501
But that's the best way to watch, anon.
>>
If I accidentally pick up a Kyoani show, I immediately wipe my hard drive with an electromagnet, set the computer on fire, and find a new house.
>>
I will never watch Clannad because the eye size freaks the shit out of me.
>>
>>141109088
MC looks and sounds like one of them post 2000 fagbois.

so much after effects post processing that I can't stop thinking about how all the goobers on /a/ would be slobbering all over it even though the show actually sucks.
>>
>>141109660
Don't forget to change your cell phone number and legal name.
>>
>>141109318
>And if /a/ likes it.
So, basically, you don't watch anything at all except maybe a really really small selection of mainstream shit.
>>
>>141109088
Complete female cast
SoL by Kyonani
All threads are Waifu threads
JC Staff
>>
I rarely finished an anime unless it's hooked me. I've seen many first episodes to different anime, but i've only ever completed 2 anime in my life so far

do you even like anime?

I rarely drop a anime, mainly because I pick what I will watch based on personal preference/criteria rather than what's currently airing or what's most popular on /a/.
>>
Any all female cast with even the slightest hint of /u/ pandering. Azumanga Diaoh did all female great though.
>>
>>141111102
He's either a massive newfag or someone baiting.
>>
>>141109088
I will never watch lucky star, just because it´s pure shit.
>>
>>141109088
That's not a petty reason though, it makes a lot of sense.
You should try Hidamari Sketch though.

No, this isn't bait.

Self insert fag detected.

>>141111558
Naruto and death note

excuse me
>>141111111

>>141111560
All female casts are designed for self inserts though. its why the majority of the viewers are males aged 20+
>>
>>141111558
DBZ and Attack on Titan
>>
I drop all shows not animated by Shaft or Kyoani.
>>
>>141111605
>All female casts are designed for self inserts
This doesn't make any sense anon. Self-insert doesn't mean what you think it means.

Every time. Also, female characters are inherently superior to male characters, right?
>>
>>141111636
You can't be serious. There doesn't have to be a male cast member for males to self insert, you do know that right?
>>
If the MC wear glasses.
If the MC is a kid or has shota voice.
If the MC wears sandals.
>>
>>141110976
I'm kinda the same, definitely not to that extent, I've finished hundreds of stuff, but I can't stop picking shit up and either just watch the first episode or get half way in and just forget about it.
>>
>>141111685
Of course. Anyone who says otherwise is a closet homo
>>
>>141111715
>If the MC wears sandals.
>If the MC wear glasses.
To be honest I don't know a single instance where an MC has worn sandals, but you still have to be joking.
>>
Wont watch a show by KyoAni.
>>
I won't watch a show if I don't like how it looks. For example I hate the eye style in Dagashi Kashi, so I'm never watching it. This is also why I won't go near Baki the Grappler or Higurashi. They look nasty.
>>
>>141111760
He clearly has a hate boner for Kamina.
>>
>>141111778
What shows do you find visually appealing, anon?
>>
I won't watch a show that's older than 5 years.

If there is show I'm watching and it passes that date while I'm in the middle of it then I just drop it, even if I was enjoying it.
>>
>>141111778
You're missing out. Kaiji looks like shit and it's still one of the best anime out there.
>>
>>141111778
I didn't know there were people that didn't do this.
>>
>>141111808
I'd fall for this bait if it wasn't for the second part.
>>
>>141109088
Harem.

I'm sure not all of them are actually bad.
>>
>>141111948
Are you really?
>>
>>141111833
Not bait. Granted the second bit has only happened a few times due to oversight on my part.
>>
>>141111804
I like stuff that's cute or pretty in a distinctive way, like Kaiba or SZS. Just plain cute shit is fine too. I guess on that count YuruYuri is pretty close to ideal for me.

this desu
I can't bring myself to touch it, regardless of how many times my friend claims it to be a good story. The facial design ruins my curiosity.
>>
>>141111999
I sort of understand doing that with video games, but anime?You're missing a lot of good shows because of this mentality
>>
>>141109088
Not watching kyoani isn't petty, it's practical. Shaft is hit and miss so I get it, I just don't share your determination.
>>
>>141112056
You're not losing much, Clannad is extremely overrated. Still, you shouldn't base your decisions only on looks.
>>
>>141111999
Why drop 5 year old anime when the quality of anime hasn't changed in over 5 years?
>>
>>141112080
Not really since I adapted this rule around early to mid 00s or so. The only things I really missed are 90s and older shit and the occasional stuff that's leftover in your backlog that you just forget about.

>>141112180
Time.
>>
>>141112373
It just makes no sense to adopt a rule like that unless you only watch anime to fit in on /a/

Right, so you literally don't care about quality or even the show its self you just want to watch the new cool show everyone is talking about so you can feel like you fit in.
>>
>>141109088
Slice of life, or a long show with episodic plot. I want ongoing story and plot in my anime.
>>
>>141109088
If the show does not have an English dub, then i won't bother with it.
