I tracked every anime I dropped for 3 months and the 12 episode rule beat my old 3 episode rule by a mile
I used to drop shows after 3 episodes if they didn't grab me. Missed out on a bunch that way, or at least that's what people kept telling me. So from January to March I wrote down every show I started and what episode I quit on. Out of 22 shows, only 4 got dropped in the 3 to 12 episode zone, but 11 shows that I would have quit at episode 3 ended up being stuff I actually finished and liked. The slow burn ones just need room to breathe. Now I'm trying to figure out if 12 is even the right number or if I should push to 15, what cutoff do you all use?

22 shows is a solid sample and honestly the 3 episode rule was always my go to but 12 clearly works better for slow burns.
