| Higurashi. Average animation, confusing storyline, strange format. But over two seasons it has one of the best crafted stories I have ever seen. So much so that I decided to experience it again via the Sound Novels. And some of the arcs are just brilliant when you look back on them. I appreciate the first arc far more now than I did at the time. |

I watched the beginning of Clannad after some long work shifts that finished around 10 pm and I fell asleep more than twice while watching episode 1-7OfficialGuts said: Clannad: the first season (especially fuko arc) was boring, then T_T in AS That was truly horrible. I also had a hard time to continue watching after that crap, but it actually started getting better. |

| Steins;Gate, Gintama, Freezing... |
I luv u |
| Higurahsi. The first episode is a little dull, and then a few eps later you don't know what's going on, but later it becomes great. |
| Marathon both seasons of Code Geass, so worth it. Had a second marathon on Code Geass doujins afterward. |

| Steins;Gate - I watched the first episode a year ago and thought it was boring beyond imagination and avoided it at all costs. Manned up and picked it up again yesterday, not only did I enjoy episode 1 this time around but I'm completely hooked, I've gone through 15 episodes in 24 hours (which is a huge shock for me, marathoning a specific series isn't my thing). Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Admittingly since I had watched the original series first, the lighthearted atmosphere and fast pacing of the story already covered in the first put me off and I put it on hold for a few months. Manned up yet again and once the story diverged from the original anime's, I was hooked and couldn't watch anything else until it was over. Uchuu Kyoudai / One Piece - Both had very slow starts that put me off and made me want to start using my drop list. But I'm glad I kept with them because One Piece started to grab my attention around the Arlong Arc and Uchuu Kyoudai had me immersed around episode 10. |

| Definitley Clannad (After Story). I thought the original show was just your typical cliche fluff, it was mediocre. After Story started off even worse but once they left school it picked up and got really good. |
 |
| hyouka (got a 8) kimi to boku (got a 6) Both were really slow for the first few episodes but then became more enjoyable later on. |

| Oh without a doubt gintama, you'd never believe how good that series becomes based off its really crappy start |

| FLCL. |
| Gintama and Hitman for me. The first 20 episodes or so of both anime aren't that good, while the remaining episodes (more than 180 for each) are much better. I didn't enjoy that much the first half of Durarara, too. But I think it was because I was too confused to really appreciate it. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Bokurano, it started off so damn slow it isn't even funny. Though it was worth it. |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Higurashi (not because of the gore, at one point i found it a bit boring) suzuka (the first half was bit to slow and was thinking to drop it, then the romance realy kicked in and was well worth it imo) |
| Steins;Gate - I heard great things about it, and how the best part came halfway through... so that was my motivation. I recall not being that into it for the first couple of episodes, but it eventually became one of my favorites. |
| One Piece and Clannad were very hard to get into at first, but now they're two of my favourites. |
 |
| Clannad: First 10 episodes were really boring Higurasi:At start was very confusing Seins Gate:Start's slow After i finished them they were all really awesome animes |
 |
| Shinsekai Yori I am still watching it but I am liking it more and more as it goes on |
 |
| ^ It takes some time because it introduces more mysteries and plot lines than solving them at first, but then it all pays off masterfully. |
 |
| Monster, Cowboy Bebop, Paranoia Agent, Berserk. |
 |
| Death Note. It was too wordy and it really bored me, but when I gave it a chance again.. my mind was blown from how awesome the anime was. |
 |
| Hunter x Hunter. |
 |
| Durarara and Shiki, because of the slow start but it became great when things started to pick up. |
| Yosuga no Sora. I thought it going to be s*** but it turned out to be my all time favorite. Too bad YnS is dead. |
| One Piece |

| Heartcatch Precure comes to mind. It didn't instantly win me over. A few episodes in it got good. Then a few episodes later it got better. Then better again at the halfway point. Then even better three quarters in. Then absolutely god damn amazing at the end. |

Foxley88 said: By Usopp's arc do you mean the Syrup village arc that was before the Arlong arc where he joined the crew or the Water 7 arc?One Piece - My all time favourite anime. This one probably had the most offensive art out of the ones I've mentioned. I didn't like how the villains were drawn. It just looked overdone and stupid and I was bored during the Arlong arc. I fell in love with it as it got past it and onto Usopp's arc. |

| I almost dropped Code Geass early on but stuck around and it became one of my favourites. Also I'm thought Steins;Gate was dull up until around episode 14 but it's gotten pretty good now and I'm curious to see how it ends. Pretty much everything that starts off slow, really. |
| I would have to say the Familiar or Zero series.I wasn't into into it because the male lead was a slave to the female lead.It took me a few years to watch after it came out. |
| K project. When it first aired and after 3 episodes I dropped it because it seemed to be about pretty people running around, then somewhere in March I got sick and was stuck in bed with nothing to do, so I decided to give it another go because of the pretty colours...and ended up marathoning thru it. Watching the episodes one right after the other really changed the sense of pacing for me, it was like watching a different show. I still dislike Neko, though. |

 |
| Steins;Gate. The first few episodes are really lame to me which I couldn't into them and the series as a whole. Then after I reached the 2nd half, I got thrilled on it till the end and I realized it's truly a masterpiece. |
 |
| Steins;Gate for sure, I wanted to stop watching after the first episode, but I had nothing else to do that day. Shiki is probably another one, I started watching the dub when I ate breakfast and it continued like that for a while. Ended up liking it a lot. |
| Steins;Gate, found the first episode and second episode to be decent, not something that really interested me, but now it's by far my favourite anime. |
| Another listing thread *sigh* |
| Another one for me that's more recent - Ookiku Furikabutte - I watched the first episode in March but the heavy baseball terminology and art style didn't really click for me so I put it on hold. Recently picked it up again 5 days ago and I'm really enjoying it now. Was trying to just go for one episode per day but now I'm on the verge of marathoning it. |
