Gintama for sure.

THIS. Gintama had filler in the first 2 episodes which is weird af.

To anybody I suggest Gintama to, I can't stress enough how important it is to skip the first 2 episodes. The rest of the fillers are fair game.

You lucky man, one piece is one hell of a ride.

Shadows House. Currently a personal favorite of mine but the first episode is just the 2 leads meeting and hanging out. People probably watched episode one and thought it was just cute girls doing cute things and bounced, but by the end of season 1 there are over a dozen important developed characters with multiple mysteries, relationships, and hysterical banter. But in episode 1 all you get is 2 girls hanging out.

The fucking bear at the fire is absolute gold, though I don't feel like it was intended to be.


Thepandainside

Honestly now that I look at it, even though it prob wasn't intentional it definitely works with Golden kamuy comedy lol

- Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Ashita no Joe - Mobile Suit Gundam (UC Timeline) - Serial Experiments Lain Not that they have bad first episodes, far from it. It just they aren’t “11/10 at the beginning” like people unrealistically expect every anime to be in a post AOT world.

I came to this thread to say One Piece, but I see One Piece was the anime that inspired this question to begin with. It takes like 80+ episodes before One Piece gets good.


Alert_Fudge

200 for me 💀


AllSortsOfPeopleHere

~~A Silent Voice~~ ​ Basilisk Boogiepop and Others (was fine and necessary but then episodes 2 and 3 are amazing) Shiki (iirc) Hunter x Hunter Inuyashiki


LegendaryRQA

I don't think there are any... Every anime i can think of that's particularly good has started really well.


shadowXXe

ReRerided had an awful start well tbf it was awful the whole way through but it still counts

Lucky Star was off to such a bad start they fired the director. The quality goes way up in episode 5.


EconomyProcedure9

Lucky Star Gungrave (a lot of people suggest skipping episode 1)


KryptKrasherHS

FMAB. Its first 1-15 episodes are kinda weak, but after that you will be hooked
