This is a list of series where I watched a few episodes or read a few chapters, but it wasn't good or interesting enough to continue reading/watching.

Sampled and will not continue Rating
Accel World (TV) Not really good
3 episodes. The characters annoy me, especially Haruyuki's excessive self pity. The fights were semi-interesting though.
Arata The Legend (TV)
3 episodes. It's a poor adaption. I'd rather just reread the manga.
Campione! (TV)
3 episodes. The fights aren't fun to watch (sword play is more fun than magic lasers), and it's just a typical harem.
Devil Survivor 2 The Animation (TV)
1 episode. Meh, it's nothing special. It has some things that should be exciting but are boring.
Devils and Realist (TV)
1 episode. Despite having so many traits I should love (sexy demons, pointy ears, Victorian setting), it has so many of my pet peeves (historical inaccuracies, watered down foreign settings, treating demons lightly, dissing Joan of Arc, the list just goes on) that I'm not going to waste my time.
Dusk maiden of Amnesia (TV)
3 episodes. I don't care about the characters or what happens/ed to them. I have no reason to sit though fanservice that's not directed at me.
Galilei Donna (TV)
3 episodes. It starts out really well but deteriorates quickly. I had already lost the motivation to finish by the 3rd episode. Apparently, it deteriorates even more, so there's no reason for me to complete it.
Gingitsune (TV)
1 episode. It's pleasant in a boring way. It's not bad, but there are better things I could spend my time on.
Good Luck Girl! (TV)
1 episode. The humor didn't make me laugh much. I may try it again later.
Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East (TV)
1 episode. It's decent, but not worth the time it takes to watch it. The juxtaposition of modern clothes and the medieval setting and tools is off-putting.
Hell Girl (TV)
1 episode. Boring and predictable. Normally I like stories of revenge and contracts, but this has nothing I haven't seen before.
Kill la Kill (TV)
3 episodes. I don't enjoy it for some reason. I like the main character, but the humor doesn't make me laugh at all (it sometimes even squicks me out) and the action doesn't impress me.
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (TV)
1 episode. Arabian-esque settings aren't used often in anime so I appreciate that, but it feels too... Japanese and watered down. Nothing in the episode was that impressive or made me want to watch more. Aladdin's boob obsession is weird and off putting, especially since he's 10.
MAOYU (TV)
1 episode. It has some interesting concepts that I like and a lot of potential, but the shoehorning of the romance aspect and some of the nonsensical actions by the characters are major turnoffs.
Reborn! (TV)
1 episode. The first episode is pleasant enough and it has potential, but it's really long and doesn't adapt all of the manga. I don't want to invest dozens of hours in a story without being able to finish it.
Red Data Girl (TV)
3 episodes. It's beautiful but forgettable.
Samurai 7 (TV)
1 episode. Boring mecha that didn't interested me at all. It was hard to finish a single episode.
Serial Experiments Lain (TV)
1 episode. Boring and nothing compelling me to watch more.
(il) sole penetra le illusioni ~ Day Break Illusion (TV)
1 episode. It's not bad per say, but the characters voices and proportions drive me crazy.
Strike the Blood (TV)
2 episodes. It's so typical action fantasy that it's boring. It does a few smart/interesting things, but nothing big enough to make it memorable.
Witch Hunter Robin (TV)
3 episodes. Didn't grab me. Might continue depending on the library's selection the next time I go on a trip.
