| I guess Ill go with Cowboy Bebop. Dont kill me Bebop mega fans, but I really didn't like the first couple eps, they were a little boring to me. But overall I still love the series. |

| Berserk - first ep was hard to get pass but the rest was amazing (Until I read the manga) Gungrave had the same kind of crappy first ep but the rest was very good. Lucky Star was boring as hell the first 4-5 eps than it got pretty funny. |

ruusakraj said: Gungrave is the only one I remember. Yep. Cool as it was, Gungrave's first episode is totally not what the anime is really about. The mood switches completely for like 20 episodes after lol. Rurouni Kenshin's first few episode were pretty bad too (imagine samurai sword battles using still image. Can't? neither can I...). It gets better at I think episode 5(?) which is when Jinei is introduced...and then it drops into a boring arc again, and then REALLY picks up into epicness when Saitou is introduced (like holy crap, one of my favorite sword fights in all of anime :o) |
vindemon64 said: feder said: Escaflowne Really? The first episode of that anime is what hooked me to the series. I can kind of understand it. Knowing it was a fantasy/adventure kind of series, I kept wanting the first episode to dive right into it rather than watch Hitomi crush on Amano for the first 15 minutes or so. For me, I'd have to go with Gintama, which actually took me several episodes to really appreciate it. I'd also have to say D.Gray-man, which had a decent first episode but didn't convince me it was good until the second episode. |
| Simoun was the closest I've ever been to dropping an anime. Seriously, the first few episodes are dreadfully bad. But, the show as a whole is one of the best I've seen easily. Texhnolyze started off very slowly as well, and also turned out to be quite good. Nowadays, I tend to expect more out of series I don't enjoy at first. Weird. |

| I absolutely hated the first episode of Baccano!, but it turned out to be alright. |
Yves said: Elfen Lied Furi Kuri Huh? After going through all my 8-10s, none of them had a first episode I would deem "bad". |

| The first episode of Haruhi gave me a bad impression on the show. I dropped it but later picked it back up. Hetalia too, I suppose. Considering all the hype it got. |

| Start bad but turn out good for me - Ghost hound : really boring at first because plot setting, but gradually better. - Higurashi no naku koroni : This anime tricked me... - Kara no Kyokai : I don't quite enjoy Kara Movie1 because the pace was slow, and plot was not interesting enough. - Kemonozume : The art was unbearable. However, love it at the end. - Kimi ga nozomi Eien : Pacing was super slow and cliche - Noein : start bad-normal, but turn out good - Zegapain : start bad, make me feel pain like watching some random super robot anime, which contain no interesting plot. It proved to me in Episode 3 that I was wrong. - Top wo nerae! : the first 2 episodes was OK but far from good. - Turn A Gundam : slow and character design were not attractive, but in the end, I love all main protagonists so much. |

georgi said: Twelve Kingdoms. Yeah, definitely. It had the biggest turnaround ever. First few episodes were horrible but the series became so epic. I almost dropped it, yet it ended up being one of my tens. |
| I think Higurashi's first episode was pretty boring and I almost stopped watching it but I decided to watch more episodes before I dropped it, and then I started to love it the more I watched it!! |

| Lucky Star and K-ON. I only continued watching both of them because I loved the opening. Also, School Days had a very average and completely non-indicative first episode. Edit: And Ghost Hound. |

Yves said: I searched for a topic like this but couldn't find one... Anyway, what anime have you seen that had boring/bad first few episodes, but ending up being an anime that you really enjoyed? For me, they are: Code Geass Blassreiter Elfen Lied Furi Kuri Lucky Star Flag If anything, the first 10 minutes of EL were the only segment of the show that wasn't mediocre. Anywho, Baccano!'s first episode was somewhat bad because it was confusing as fuck. |
 |
feder said: Escaflowne I agree. I put it on hold for more than a month after the first ep before coming back to it. Also Berserk. Welcome to the NHK (actually it only hooked me after about 4 eps I think) Eureka Seven's first episode wasn't that great. And I would say FMA didn't have a strong first episode, though I'd have to include probably the first 10 or so episodes, since I felt it only picked up after this. |

| K-ON Fruits Basket All for now... |
Thank You CharisMagic for my amazing Sig :3 |
| Welcome to the NHK - didn't appeal to me at all so I dropped it after the the second episode but after a friend of mine nagged and said how good it was I decided to watch the whole thing, and I must say it did get better. Gungrave - First episode is so strange and no consistent the first time you watch it, luckily things get much better on the second episode, where the series "really" start. |
| 1. Higurashi no naku koroni 2. Shangri-la Can't remember anything else so far. |

I agree. I watched the first two episodes and thought it was one of the worst anime ever. But I finally decided to give it another try and it turned out to be great. |
| Well i have to say the first KH-Reborn episodes where bad. |
 |
| Gintama. The first two episodes were pretty bad, but every other episode is anime at its best. |
Nekoo said: Lucky star for sure. Since I watched SHnY in air order I have to add that too. Same reason I hated lucky star but I couldnt bear it any longer so I dropped it immediately. Was that the wrong thing to do? I'll only be able to watch it if there's a massive reference/pun/parody-hurricane in it. Cromartie episode 2 is referring to a japanese musician and they keep humming his song the entire episode. It wasn't that entertaining. First episode was kinda cool though. |
| D.gray-man - the first episode was boring Code geass - same Death note - same I'm sure there are other too... *There are anime that have a great first episode..but after that is hell...(like bleach). |

| 12 kingdoms, for the first 6 episodes or so I was hoping someone would kill the main character. |
| lol definetly Twelve Kingdoms, that epi went haywire and beyond |

Nekoo said: Lucky star for sure. Shut up. Those eps were awesome. I'd say the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the god of this. Ef ~ a Tale of Memories because is just looks like a run-of-the-mill romance anime. Maria-sama ga Miteru since you really need to sit back and get to know the characters. Also a lot is thrown at you at the start (names, terms, etc.). Gungrave. If you watch this, skip the first episode. It spoils quite a few things later (how ass retarded is that?). |
