Just like the title implies.
Valvrave the Liberator. A cool as the mech looks, everything else just didn't click with me. Then there's Hayate no Gotoku Cuties, because I felt too lazy to watch exactly what I already read in the manga.

Now, since much of these decisions I made were based off my preconceptions and attention span (which for some reason was having none of this this time because reasons), there's a good chance I might pick it up again later if I really feel like it but for the moment nah.
Date A Live
Temp-dropped it so I could read the light novels first.
But BakaTsuki's translations for this series err on the side of lowest common denominator and QUALITY when it comes to readability. So when I finish reading what is translated I'm picking it up again because the story content definitely benefits from having visuals because 1) the author is no Japanese Brent Weeks wordsmith and very average in general and it shows, and 2) the content is trashy enough - IE predictably cliche (intentionally(?), but even then tongue-in-cheek doesn't work unless the tongue is in the cheek) at times but sprinkled with genuinely good and occasionally, dare I say it, inspired moments - to derive a sort of guilty pleasure from seeing it rendered onscreen with sounds and movement.

My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
I haven't dropped an anime so far this season. Valvrave is borderline though, its pretty ridiculous.
Shingeki is the only anime that might hit 8+/10 region though. This season has a lot of decent shows but nothing really outstanding.

Oh wait I dropped Aku no Hana for being slow, boring and stupid.

Aku no Hana
Self-explanatory. I guess I'll just stick with the manga, which got way better response.
Game of Thrones
Just not my kind of show. Pulled myself through season 1, then dropped it after 3 eps into s2.
Valvrave
Yeah... no.
I did drop Symphogear about a year ago. I honestly loved the first episode despite it getting bad responses from many, but the second episode was where it dropped the ball for me.
I dropped Ai Mai Mi last season mostly because I got really lazy in downloading 5 minutes eyecancer just to watch it. I actually don't mind it, with the humor hitting sometimes (and falling flatter than a 2D person at others...) and the ED being really catchy. Will probably finish the rest via streams some other time.
I dropped Robotic;Notes last season or so after episode 20 or so. While I could go back and finish it, it just doesn't click with me and I got bored watching it.
Recently dropped Shinsekai Yori after the first episode. Whole show felt completely disjointed. I don't know if it was just the first episode, but the scenes usually only lasted like 15 seconds, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, who these people are, or anything. None of the characters interested me, nothing caught my interest, and I got bored watching it. I know it was originally a novel, maybe that version isn't choppy with its presentation, but given how sloppy the anime is, I just can't get into it. Only thing I even remember is Kana Hanazawa (read her name like a tongue twister) is in it, yet even that doesn't feel that remarkable, given that she's in nearly fucking everything now. (EDIT: I lost so much interest, I can't even spell the name of the series right. Wrote "Shinseiki" initially.)

Galaxy Railways.
Because trains in space is pants-on-head stupid, even for my tastes.

Why'd you even pick it up in the first place?
Some people just have an obsession with trains?
*still doesn't quite understand why train simulator is so successful*
Levy is not impressed.
Eco Rider!
Dumb concepts can be enjoyable if they're executed well.
GR wasn't. So it wasn't.
