| If it gets better then that gives me a good reason to keep watching, but if it gets worse then I would probably end up dropping it. Also I think the ending is crucial so if it's bad then that kinda ruins the whole anime for me. |
| @Dakago: I have no freaken' clue why anyone would vote for the latter. I mean, is there any point of this thread? |

| As you could guess from my favourite I prefer anime with a mediocre yet close to bad start. The progressive build-up to a fantastic final arc is fantastically rewarding. The early episodes had a satisfying payoff toward the end of the anime. So in the end you watched it for a reason. Clannad after story wouldn't be as praised as it is if it wasn't for all the build ups included in the first season. I also don't mind strong start with weaker ending. Sometimes the journey may be a good enough experience that overcome the destination. |
| i prefer watching shows that are consistently great throughout kek but yea i prefer the former |
 |
| i prefer shows that are amazing all throughout but i understand we don't always get what we want |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| I prefer anime which are straight up good. But if I had to choose between having a promising story ruined later on or just playing it safe overall I take the latter. Having a decent start, getting a bit better towards the middle and falling off drastically at the end is kinda standard by now. |

| I actually thought Angel Beats had a really weak start. The first four episodes failed to grab my attention and I stopped watching for a few weeks. When I came back and started watching again though it started getting really good and the ending was amazing. Thus I gave it a 9 out of 10 score. So to answer your question. Starting off boring or mediocre and getting better is definitely the way to go. |

| Consistently better since if it starts at meh which is around 5 and consistently improves slightly after each episode, the show gets at least a 5.6 score experience on average after the first cour (~12). Multiple cours in and the score only improves from there. The latter option seems to imply a 10 or close to it as possible to then a 1 or close to that as possible at the end (since there's no "0" in MAL). Assuming the episodes of 10 vs 1 are equally balanced means you get a 5.5 at best and can't go any higher than that. Obviously the consistently better option. |
 |
| Unless the ending is a spectacular dumpster fire, the kind where you just can't look away eventhough you know it's bad, then I'd say starting off okayish and slowly getting better would be my choice. |
| i prefer starts off boring and consistenly better, thats worth to wait and watch |
 |
| Consistently better is my personal preference, examples: Grisaia no Rakuen Charlotte Darling in the Franxx Evil or live Kanata no Astra Now series that start of strong but begin to fester as the story progresses: Zetsuen no Tempest Sword Art Online 91 days Akame ga kill Dies Irae Gate: Jieitai I will add that series who progressively degrade I still sometimes rate high because of how brilliant they were in the begining. Or sometimes I rate low out of spite, even though they were greate for two thirds of their duration. Its disheartening to witness something you love getting worse as time progresses. |

| The first one will probably be episode one dropped unless I hear some great things about it later. The second one will be dropped once it goes to crap. In other words, indeterminate. I can't know because I'll just drop these shows. |
| Why is this even a question? Do you prefer good anime or bad anime? |

| I like my anime just like I like my coffee: avarage from the first sip to the last. |
