If you didn't enjoy this strawman, you just didn't consume enough of them.

Luckily, there's plenty more on thebad.website.

Also, One Piece fans. As much as I love one piece, it's not for everyone. Idk why that's so hard to grasp for some of the fans. They just say it gets better. People might not like it for various reasons, From poor animation (In the beginning) to bad pacing. Also, the lengthy fights and the artstyle could be a turnoff.

I like to say, if you don't like the East Blue Saga, its probably not for you, but you kind of need to power through some of the earlier arcs as the author establishes the world and tone. If you don't like it because Syrup Village is kind of a mess, you could easily miss out on a great series.

If somebody tells me I need to power through several bad arcs to get to the good stuff, I kinda just immediately lose interest.

That was Game of Thrones for me. I watched to first episode, didn't like it, despite my friends telling me I just have to get through the first 2 seasons and then it's really good.

That's not a good show. That's Stockholm syndrome.

On the flip side, I do feel like this for The Expense. First season felt like a slog, but the rest of the show is amazing. A lot of people love the first season though, so I guess that's just my preference. I honestly feel the story for the whole first season should have been done in one or two episodes.
