let's talk about some of the best made shows that had rather a relatively mediocre or lackluster begining...

ill go first JJBA ...pretty sure it's not an unpopular opinion
Bungou Stray Dogs picks it up by Season 3 -

in television too,
The Office and Parks & Recreations have such boring S1 only to be the best shows out there.

Most recent one that comes to mind is Dungeon Meshi. Those first 4-6ish episodes felt generic. Than it just went full throttle once the main plot was visualized. REALLY ENJOYED that show by the end of it.

Usually it's the other way around. Gotta think about this for a while.

Gintama is definitely on the list, it's so hard to stick of it on the first season cuz it's a more mediocre scene. After that is getting better every season.

Dungeon Meshi.



It starts out like one of those isekai cooking shows, but it's neither isekai nor does it 100% focus on cooking only. It takes a while to get to know the characters, but after the first eight to twelve episodes it really picks up and goes beyond cooking the monster of the day. It helps that the animation is outstanding (done by Trigger).

I'd say Gintama doesn't have the best start, but it does pick up.

Can’t believe dungeon meshi is already mentioned two times. It’s definitely a masterclass of fantasy anime.

Season 2 will be so peak.

Darling in the Franxx. Weak beginning (mecha don't look too good, the conflict seems pretty boring) but it gets better and better until the end.

What a coincidence, today the bluray encode dropped on meow website. Gonna binge watch the show.

Odd Taxi to me. It starts like a generic furry show and ends one of the most compelling mystery psychological drama story.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Feel the first two parts are fairly boring and it starts kicking in around part 3 and onwards.
