| I've just started Psycho-Pass and the first episode was really engaging. The rest of the episodes were also pretty decent. |
| Baccano! It's like a railcoaster, honestly. |
 |
| to me it was ben-to freaking dumbass shity anime I love it |
| I remember loving Naruto & Soul Eater's first episode. I won't ever forget Soul x Maka even tho shipping has gotten boring to me |
| Almost every show doesn't grip you from the start and never let go, there will be down time at some point. If even 1 episode and you are bored, you've will find some serious issues. Every show needs some down time, and many take more than 1 episode. Getting all grippy and tense first episode can serve as a great hook, but it does get pretty grating after an arc or two so there's going to be downtime. This isn't a specific recommendation, but do check out anime movies rather than TV series. I've got a feeling that the format of storytelling and the way the plot is structured would fit you more. |

| Zankyou no Terror were quite gripping at first iirc.There're so many things to be discovered |
| Probably Denpa Teki na Kanojo. Went in expecting nothing, came out pleasantly surprised when the last episode ended. 2 episodes only. |
| Every show on the top of the seasonal charts. They usually have amazing beginning. |
| We are all Misanthropes Made you learn |
| Harukana Receive Jashin-chan no Dropkick Lord of Vermilion |
 |
| Attack on Titan (good from episode 1) Death Note (good from episode 2) Code Geass (good after just few episodes) Claymore (good after just few episodes) Shiki (good after few episodes) 91 Days (good from early episodes) Re:Zero (good from early episode) Youjo Senki (good from episode 1) Mahou Shoujo Site (good from episode 1) Killing Bites (good/edgy from episode 1) Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor (the 1st season was so good from early episodes. I did not like the 2nd season though) |

| Legend of the Galactic Heroes (old ver) Kaiji |
I personally recommend watching the new Legend Of Galatic Heroes remake. Much better and feels faster pace than older version. THe old version feels like watching some politicians having some long and boring dialogs. I put the old one on-hold cause it was so boring. The new one on other hand is much better, better voice actor and modern visuals make you feel less bored and does not waste time on very long conversations |

Though when I'm finished with the old one I might try the new version. |

I admit that animation is a lot better and the ships look smooth af tho. It's slower, so if you don't like slow shows you won't enjoy it as much. But the older show has a lot more than the new one in almost every aspect. |

| it depends from your favorite genre. Everyone tends to love anime with some specific genres. |
 |
| Most comedies or romcoms are made to be enjoyable and kinda short. |
|
| If you don’t mind something zany, Space Patrol Luluco genuinely fits, and since it’s a series of shorts you could easily watch it in a couple hours. |
| Definetly Death Note, it had me on the edge of my seat from minute one. |
| Basically all my favourites and a lot of my 9's. |
     |
| definitely Saga of Tanya the Evil was gripping form episode 1 and each episode after was outsatnding |
| "Never Give Up Without A Fight" By Zuko |
| ajin got me pretty good from the second i started watching. others include -fmab -mahoutskai no yome -erased -zankyou no terror -death note |
  |
| No Game No Life Gurren Lagann Death Note Bakemonogatari Steins;Gate The last one has been criticized for starting off slow, but many people including myself were invested ever since episode 1. It depends on what you enjoy. As already stated in previous comments, maybe watching a few anime movies instead could help you get back into the game. |

| any fast paced anime that particularly doesn't heavily rely on world buildup and character development some of which I would think of are: one punch man, hellsing ultimate, drifters, inuyashiki,black lagoon, devil man |
| That's a particularly hard order, not many series truly grips you on the first episode. Just one episode isn't enough for that, not even many great series are capable of doing that. Plus, some awful series actually have gripping first episodes. Erased had an amazing first episode that hooked us all in, only to find out halfway through it was absolute shit. You might have to just bite the bullet and give these series more of a chance, OP. You aren't going to be completely engaged just on the first episode alone to make you capable of completely focusing on the entire season. Just find a series that's widely liked that you're interested in, and do nothing but watch it without looking at your phone, or anything else distracting. It's a lot harder to become engaged in the series if you don't at least try, so try. Not having an engaging first episode is making you skip WAY too many great anime |

Chunchunmaru3 said: I recently started Cowboy Bebop and I can say that the first episode made my jaw drop. Haha if you already liked the first episode, you’re gonna love it from episode 5, that’s where it starts to get good. |
| Most battle/ action shounen are. They are usually straight forward and it's easy to get captivated. |
