What was the last thing that made you drop a series (for whatever reason)?

[Nico_Robin1]

For me, what makes me abandon a series the most is the wait, that is, when a new series emerges and it is interesting but then they make you wait a long time to give you new material. For me it is super frustrating and I end up leaving them forgotten. That's why usually when a new anime comes out I prefer to let the season finish before watching it, watching 15 minutes a week is not my thing, with manga I still let a few chapters accumulate and then I read them I hate that drop count content.

Revenge Channel Uramin, since the story didn't have any plot and consisted of asspulls.
Originally went in because I found the idea of a professional revenge story interesting, then the author made a random villian capable of raping the allegedly competent mc and then pussyfooted around with an original revenge target.
The story didn't even last 8 chapters before it showed that the author doesn't know what the fuck he is doing, even a common shitsekai keeps a coherent arc longer than this piece

Best reason to drop a series. It's abandoned. No update in over a year.

Not really a good reason even, hardly the fault of the series

I dropped Onimai after two episodes. Maybe I'm too sensitive about it, but the brother was depressed IIRC, so what's the best solution to solve it? Make him realize that he has worth even as he is now?

LOLNO, traumatize him by making him much younger to the point where he has to go back to middle school and change his gender against his will. That's totally fine since he's really cute now! He will totally learn how to cope with himself by blending in with minors as a girl!

I fucking hate how manga and anime make light of mental illness.

no one saying anything about that dropped rabbit

I think the last manga I dropped was Komi-san. I dropped right about after Manbagi got rejected, it was the last interesting arc and the story just began to drag out from that point on.

I dropped the TBATE anime cause of the garbage animation, I'm sticking to the comic

 

[StrikeNoir4]

Jujutsu Kaisen. Dropped it ever since they 'killed' off Nobara Kugisaki... And here I thought she was going to be in the whole series, but nope....

Spoiler

They had to revive her in the last part of the series...

 

[jecroisenlasuperioritedubel]

Anime 86 ; episodes wherein They're depicted as dead , only to be revealed not - de-constructing the beauty of the series Cold-heartedly.

 

[Romisterie]

The mc was treated unfairly by his supposed harem. I blame Ken Akamatsu for popularizing the trend..

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Macross Plus. I didn't like or got invested in any of the characters, making the drama completely annoying and the series a pain to watch

Oh, this thread is still alive. Well, might as well give a second entry in it.

The English name for it is The Warrior Returns. It's both here and on Webtoon. This thing is enraging. I kept reading it for way longer than I should've, simply because of how pissed off I was at the characters, the author, and even the damn audience. I dropped it because I eventually got so unbelievably angry every time it updated that I had to stop. Don't do the 'engagement through enragement' thing. It's not worth it.

The final straw for me was

Spoiler: MAJOR plot spoiler here

the main villain of the series winning. He set up the entire scenario, manipulated everyone into killing each other, is responsible for over a trillion deaths across multiple timelines, all so he could finally die, after which he leaves the world at the mercy of the literal demon lord he created...and people in the comments were lauding him as a fucking HERO for it and excusing his actions.
