\u00a0I&#8217;ve found that out of all the many million shows I start watching, I end up dropping 99% of them before the third episode.<\/p>\n<p>According to my MAL, I have completed 76 TV series (minus movies and crap that make my anime list look a lot longer than it needs to be) and dropped 62 TV series. \u00a0That&#8217;s practically a 1:1 ratio (or at least it will be once winter season comes along and I get to drop a few hundred more shows).<\/p>\n<p>So far this year, I have finished seven shows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rideback<\/strong> (total waste of time &#8211; why the hell did I finish this anyway?)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Haruhi S2<\/strong> (obligatory)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hayate S2<\/strong> (semi-obligatory, turned out pretty nice)<\/li>\n<li><strong>K-ON!<\/strong> (obligatory)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eden of the East<\/strong> (obligatory)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hatsukoi Limited <\/strong>(hey, I liked this show)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Princess Lover!<\/strong> (average)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking back&#8230; had I not turned down the evil path of blogging, I probably would have only watched Rideback, Hayate, Hatsukoi, and Princess Lover. \u00a0Well, I probably would&#8217;ve dropped Rideback and Princess Lover if it weren&#8217;t for the posts other bloggers made about them. \u00a0So that narrows it down to two shows.<\/p>\n<p>Wait. \u00a0Actually, I&#8217;m almost done with GA, so that makes three shows. \u00a0So three shows in half a year? \u00a0Huh. \u00a0Compare that to the fifty-four shows (aired this year) that I&#8217;ve dropped. \u00a0\ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n<p>How am I supposed to type up my obligatory &#8220;Best of 2009&#8221; post <span style=\"text-decoration:line-through;\">when I don&#8217;t know what 2009 has been like<\/span> when I thought just about everything that aired in 2009 was eye-cancer?

\u00a0Or does the coming winter season count as 2009? \u00a0Or both? \u00a0It&#8217;s kind of hard to rate a season&#8217;s shows when you&#8217;re halfway through them, so I think it&#8217;s the former&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2zM4X-XS","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3712\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
