Uhh, you respect someone who likes watching something they don't like?
To me, I call that stupidity.  If you don't like a show, there's really no point in watching it.  Unless you're gonna gain personal knowledge, or perhaps you feel that it may help you socialize or whatever.  But generally, it's stupid to force yourself to watch a show that you don't enjoy.
Having said that, I have seen a few shows that I didn't exactly like, but it's only cause I didn't find them horrible to the point that I couldn't stand them.



AzumiUehara's posts split into separate thread.

Well, I'm going off the assumption that he isn't watching it for himself, but, rather, he completes series because he felt responsible for
rating it on his thread/website. You can't give something an accurate rating if you only watch the first few episodes. I mean, look at
the first episode of Haruhi...It's awful, atrocious, and boring, and tedious. And yet the series is considered one of the best in the last
decade.

I don't like romance anime, but I still enjoyed Love Hina and The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi and
Princess Mononoke, I despise Big Robot Anime, but I still loved Evangelion, Etc. There are plenty of
anime I enjoy that are in genres I despise.

Of course there's tons more that I watch the first two episodes of and immediately toss out. ;P The point
is, you need to try anime before deciding whether or not you like it. Even reading a summary isn't enough. If I'd
read the summary of Evangelion I would have been liek "Pfffffft" and never even tried it. I think the best thing
you can do is look for anime that have been given awards or rated highly on many sites and try it out.
