Title: Recent Shows you watched 1 or more eps of, but then BAILED.

This is kind of the anti-thread to "What are you watching now."

What shows have people started, but then hit the EJECT button on?
For Andie and I, we sampled (and sooner or later bailed on)

- Haibane Renmei
- Kanon
- Beck
- Nana
- Naruto
- MAR (Marchen Awakens Romance)
- Kaleido Star
- Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar
- Kyo Kara Mao
- Saiunkoku Monogatari

Oh man, those are the ones I don't even bother to remember the names of!

EDIT: Meg remembered one we both will never watch more of: Spiral!

And Berserk. We saw the last episode and were totally disguested by the gratuitous... gratuity! And Meg hated Ikki Tousen and Chobits, Chobits especially because she loved the manga and the anime in comparison was awful.

Aww, some of those are good shows. :P

The only show I've ever stopped watching was Najica Blitz Tactics. It was just panty shots one after another..I couldn't even get through the first episode with how cheesy it was.

Ha!  I watched Najica with friends as a drinking game.  We got wasted!  We started out with a shot every time we saw panties, but realized shortly that we'd probably not survive a single episode, so we changed it to a shot every time there were three sets of panties in a single frame.  Good times!

I started watching You're Under Arrest! but gave up after three episodes.  It was just a bunch of car porn.  I guess that's fine if you're the kind of person who faps to the cars in Fast & Furious, but I prefer regular ol' fanservice.

I actually got hooked on Naruto for a few nights .. got up to .. episode 12. The first 2 episodes are pretty slow but then it actually got good. Then I got distracted by Detective Academy Q and ended up finishing that series up in about a week.

This one is going to shock everyone.. but.. I've never been able to get into The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya .. I just can't get into it. Everyone tells me it's so damn funny but I don't think I ever much more than grinned while watching it. It's sad too, because I like the animation and the characters are cute..

Naruto defiantly
Sorcerer Hunters
Yu Gi Oh :P

I'm sure there are others but I probably erased them from my memory. I usually finish anime though unless they are REALLY bad.

Naruto, Midori Days....

Full Moon because the dub is soooooo bad and the one I had didn't offer subs.... "Meatskee!  Meatskee!"  I couldn't watch it with my family, cause they would just giggle thinking of some fellow going down the slopes on salami.  >_<

Spiral
Saiyuki
Blood Plus
Tsubasa

I know theres alot more but I didnt care enough to member their name.

btw, you really should watch Haibane Renmei. Its not super fast but it is really good in my opinion. Its one of thise animes though where it gets good and then the ending is like, "WHATTTT???" Think of FMA. -___- Another one you should DEFINETLY watch it Kinos Journey! THAT one is AWESOME.

Go back and watch eureka 7 now!!! IT'S AMAZING!!! It takes awhile to get into, but it's one of the best animes that I've seen!



 I ended up catching quite a few eps cuz it was on right after Bleach. I tried to get into it but I thought it was trying WAY too hard to be as deep as inhumanly possible
*Shrug* Just not my thing.

Hmm, I haven't bailed on too many, then again, I don't watch too much anime. Kinda picky. Anywho here is my list


-Bleach
found out it can burn the brain after two episodes and the dubbing was slightly better then the subtitle at some points. Overall, just trying too hard to be deep and seem to stall about getting into the juice of the story.

-Inuyasha
I watched it up to the point that the Narato started going all Seymore(FF10)... I watched after a while just for Fluffy. That was the most entertaining part. It seemed after a while, he stopped showing up.

-Ruroni Kenshin
Stopped watching after the Kyoto Arc... I did see a few episodes proceeding that Arc, but was not impressed to revisit them. Loved the OVI Trust and Betrayal. That is what got me started on RK. Though I have to say, some of the dumb was made up with the outtakes. Funny stuff!!!?

Lain
It really didn't seem to make much sense and didn't draw me in

Excel(sp?)
That was flat out crack. There is funny crack and bad crack...and let me tell you kids, that was bad of the bad.

Evangelin
Techinically I watched the whole series through....but was not impressed. One of my roomies was just in love with that series and I never quite understood why.

Yo Yo hackasho(sp?)
Saw an episode and wished I hadn't.



Mostly likely going to bail on:
-Naruto-
Going to watch a few just to see what people are all worked up about.


And about the Inuyasha series moving too slow and too drawn out...the writer is notorious for doing that with her stories. It's like she doesn't want to let them...plus it is a major cash cow when it comes to merchandising. Sadly enough...it could be something really awesome if they cinched up the plot and made things more efficient. But that is my humble opinion.

Is it okay if the show isn't anime?

Anyone ever heard of Kyle XY?  It's a sci-fi show about a kid who, apparantly, was created in a lab, got out, and is trying to create an identity, or something along those lines.  Anyway, it seemed like it could have been cool, but I just didn't care for it enough to watch it.
