Like Tacx I try not to drop series, but I dropped Clannad, Gungrave and Ergo Proxy after only a handful of episodes of each.
I didn't like the art or animation for Clannad, and the story seemed predictable, cliche and melodramatic. Gungrave was just overdone action with thin plot. Ergo Proxy was too...edgy...for me. It just tried too hard; moody, disjointed art, moody, disjointed story, moody, disjointed characters...of the three it's the one I'm most likely to go back to, but I've tried it multiple times and still can't get into it.
