People say to me that I shouldn't drop an anime after watching 1 or 2 episode of it and I should give it a chance. So here's an explanation to why I do this. Well, I drop them because they either simply don't interest me or I feel that I won't be able to stay committed to watching it. Even though I may or may not give the anime another chance and come back to it later... but that's only if I remember to.
Same goes for anime's i've put on-hold, I get into them and then they becomes a chore to finish the anime, just so that I can find out what happens in the end or so that I don't get bugged by half the fanbase by saying that I didn't like it or "didn't give it a chance". Well I did. And I simply found some other anime that I found was more interesting so I put it on hold. Like I said, there's still a chance that i'll go back and finish it later on... which is the whole point of "On hold".
An example of this for me is "Full Moon wo Sagashite". It's been well over half a year since I started watching this anime and I've had it on hold for quite a while now. When I started watching this anime I loved it to bits and "couldn't stop watching it".... this was very short-lived. For me, the beginning of this anime had a great storyline that could have easily kept the viewers interested (Or me at least) for the rest of the series. Lets just say, the plot had reached close enough to the top of the mountain... only to fall straight down from the top right down to the bottom when *SPOILER* Mitsuki finds out that Ecchi, the one who she had been singing for the whole time, has in fact been dead for three years *END OF SPOILER......possibly*. From then on this anime went from a happy, light-hearted, romance anime to a dramatic and slightly depressing one. For one thing the main character, Mitsuki, went in to depression and became a emotionless character with absolutely no will to live. Even though this annoyed me greatly, I still continued to watch for the next few episodes with the small hope that the plot would pick up again. I'm going to be honest here... I was disappointed. The reason I put this anime on hold was because of that. I am well aware that by the end of the series it probably picks up and has a happy end, but I'd had enough of it. I'm pretty sure I'll go back to it and finish it but for now i'll leave it on hold.
I suppose this is nearing the end of my little rant which kind of turned into an anime review somehow, but oh well. As a final note, I'm going to say that I'm only writing this because I can't seem to understand how some people can be so addicted to an anime that they feel that anyone who doesn't like it and dropped it have something wrong with their brains and are dead to them, because i'm sure every anime watcher has started an anime and found that they didn't like it.
I'm just going to end this here because, knowing me, i'll go right off track of what I was talking about (to be honest I probably already have) and not notice it. So this is the end I guess. I probably won't post something like this again...... maybe.
