oki then I recommend finishing it as you're just 3 episodes away from being done.

Thanks for the offer but no. I dropped it because it didn't really match my interests. I will admit though, I do like the fact that Shaft made it different compared to most magical girl shows out there, but I detested a lot of the characters which is one of the reasons why I dropped it and is also the one of the reasons why I quit watching Glee.

On the other hand, I have just started watching High School of the Dead and it's a good show so far. It's your general post-apocalyptic horror show but has a lot violent scenes in it. I won't just suggest this for those who can't handle ecchi and big busted women.

Frankly, I don't understand how one can drop a show when their almost done watching it. You already watched three quarters of it, might as well finish it. But if you didn't like it, then whateves. Not forcing you or anything, I just don't understand it. To me, it's like leaving a movie theater when you're over halfway through the movie.

Heard of High School of the Dead, and all I can say based on what I've heard of it is "meh." I hate when anime tries to take itself seriously and throws unwanted and unnecessary fan service elements in for the sake of being ecchi. Only takes away form the experience and I cannot take it seriously if you get a panty shot/boob shot/ass shot/you get the idea every other scene. Definitely not my cup of tea.

I know where you are getting and I understand. I know I am close to finishing the show and all but there is one thing that I will admit (I'm not sure if this is related to what I posted but oh well). As the months went by, I have become a more and more blunt person and have developed a lot of harsh opinions, especially on anime, and have become more grouchier and more annoyed than before (don't get me wrong, I still have a soft side for certain things). I easily get ticked off by fictional characters that I despise to the point that I want to drop the show because of them. You may think it's silly, but that's the way I am now. I am also more picky now. When it comes to anime, I'm not into slice of life, magical girl (unless they pull it off extremely well and I didn't feel like that they pulled it off that well enough for me to like it), and I especially am not the cutesy shoujo style anymore. But meh, that's just me nowadays.

Like I said, I wasn't trying to change your mind or anything. It's fine if you don't like the same stuff as, say, I do. I felt Madoka Magica was the best show of the season and one of the best things I've watched in a long while. I don't really care one way or the other. It's just I personally don't and probably won't ever understand why anyone would bother dropping anything when their almost done watching it. If someone really didn't like the show by that point, why'd they watch that much of it in the first place? I'm not speaking specifically of you, btw. It's just I've seen this kind of thing done with all sorts of different shows and my reaction is almost the same every time (on AniDB, I saw one person dropped a 4 episode OVA on the third episode because it "bored him/her", and I can't help but think "Really? Just frigging finish it if you're already that far along").

I never really drop shows unless I know it's something I'm not going to like after watching a couple of episodes. Like Rio: -Rainbow Gate!- for example, I felt the first episode was awful, and the second episode was even more painful to watch and have since dropped it with no intention of watching ever again.
