Example right here.

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=684817&show=0

You dropped or avoided Keroro Gunso because you forget to clean up or you. Or... K-ON because you leave your stuffs on the bedroom floor.

I got one.

Futari wa Pretty Cure: I wanted to watch it, but stopped it after 4 episodes because I only aired in Canada and UK and 4Kids but not in the US were suppose to dub it in the first place.

Tonde Buurin: Avoiding it because Saban never released the English dub on VHS or on TV.

Crayon Shin-Chan: Avoiding it because it has senseless humors.

Jewelpet series: Because I have been thinking of what if Sanrio get sued by Webkinz for it.

And this is not related to "What anime you refuse to watch" thread.

Well, if you're on Facebook that much, then you should've at least avoid it or unlike the SAO fan page. That anime is still airing in here.

Dropped an anime on the second last episode because I loved it so much that I didn't want it to end.

It was Lucky Star and I was like 12 years old at the time. *cringe*

One day, my ex-gf spoiled all the shit happened in Clannad: AS when I told her I was starting to watch it, I've never touched it since a year ago, and I don't want, and I doubt I'll ever want to.

And some others because I'm too lazy to watch them (because I often watch the 1st episode, then wait like the whole season to make a marathon in the end).

First of all for Yosuga no Sora they're at least 16 years old and how is it fine up til the incest part when the other parts also have softcore hentai? Is the fact that it's incest really that bad?

I cannot fathom the fact that Mamoru Senpai can not accept the incest act, I mean, he:

Second, Japan borrowed a lot of German ideologies, and in anime you can see loads of German things.

Well, I'm not really a fan of hentai in general. May this was the last little thing what got me to drop the anime. Better?
Didn't see the post above me. Dude, you know this is kinda racist, don't you? Also, you should see people as a individual, just saying. I think, you don't want me to say anything about China.

Weirdest reason I dropped an anime? I dropped C3-bu because of the gun fetishization. I kinda despise gun culture, so, that's definitely an odd reason imho.

Edit: Apex, just stop. That post was extremely racist and your posts are only getting worse.

Also:

The incest does make it exceptionally squicky, especially when you consider the fact that it's the most sexually-charged relationship in that show. Not that it redeems the other parts of the show, either, since it's all one giant pile of artless wankbait, but yeah.

I dropped Jigoku Shoujo because of the reusing of parts was toooooo much.
Like seriously every episode had the same beginning and ending. Plus what was going to happen was way to predictable.
If I kept on watching that, my brain would have melted or fried up

The art and sound were fine though that doesn't exactly help it in the other categories it's lacking but hating just for incest is a little much. You watched 3 arcs containing mild hentai, I don't know what the hell did you expected when it got to her arc. Love is love and she happens to loves her brother who's the only male she really interacts with, go figure. It just irritates me to see people condemn stuff specifically for something like incest. I mean you wouldn't hate on Shinsekai Yori for some homosexuality, now would you? If you wish to judge something you have to look at all it's qualities as well as faults. Though most of this isn't specifically designated towards you, Mogs.

Also holy fuck Apex every time I read something from you it makes you looks worse and worse.

Except in Shin Sekai Yori, the homosexuality was a small part of the show. Yosuga no Sora's incest is pretty much the main draw to people looking into it, even if it is only for an arc. I personally can't justify incest outside of an artistic context, and YnS is artless. The entirety of it is artless. Technically-sound but most definitely just softcore porn.

Also: equivocating homosexuality with incest is a problem.

Draws people in only to do the exact opposite? It's a visual novel squeezed into twelve episodes and then split into four parts so of course you don't get much. I'm not exactly defending the show but just saying you shouldn't dislike something just cause you disagree with it's morals. Also I'm just using homosexuality as an example as both are rejected by some people though incest probably more so.

Well.. I oughta jump in on this discussion lol. The relationship in Yosuga no Sora surely makes more sense if you've played the visual novel and not just watched the anime, and makes it more reasonable to understand lol. Since it's just as you said, they squeezed it all into a 12 episodes long anime and that leaves out much of the mainstory.

The thing is, I don't have a problem accepting a show's morals even if they don't coincide with my own. You need to approach it with tact and proper expression. YnS, obviously, did none of that. It's a rushed, lazy, omnibus VN adaptation.

As far as what Taadashi said: well, the only incest anime that I really approve of (outside of its instances in Penguindrum and Utena) is Koi Kaze; it tells a non-fetishized incest romance, dealing with it in a way that actually resonates realistically. I still don't approve of Koi Kaze'd morals but it's a damn fine title.
