One Piece is good before episode 37 (iykyk) but that’s when it really picks up in quality imo. Romance Dawn (aka the entire first arc) of One Piece is a lot slower than the rest of the series.

I would not watch 36 episodes or play 150 hours. But...
... don't dismiss something too quickly. I watched One Cut Of The Dead, and the gimmick of that movie was (I thought) that it was filmed in one take. But holy shit, bad acting, bad sfx, and super cheap production quality. Dropped it after twenty minutes.
And then I read fantastic reviews, thank god spoiler free. So I sat down again, started it, and somehow made it through the first thirty minutes. And holy fuck, it had a brilliant pay off! More than worth it to pay attention this half hour!
With anime I give them three episodes to get me hooked. For games I draw my personal line for 5 hours.
But not 36 episodes. Or 150 hours :)

Trails/Kiseki fan reporting in. It's the same thing with trying to get friends into the series (though the remake of the first game helps tremendously) but there's so many games and so much dialog and it's a massive commitment if you want to get through the series. But we have to say the story really only kicks in during the final chapter and the second game.
Still worth it.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Story and gameplay both get good around the end of chapter 3.
Wat? FF14 is good like immediately.
ive heard them tell me it gets good after 100 or so episodes (but you gotta watch it for context). and there is a lot of filler you gotta skip in between.
then, the 1000+ episode series gets good lol
I agree with this statement, I dropped it for 6 or 7 months during the alabasta arc cause I just couldn't binge it further, but once that arc is done, is slowly starts picking up the pacing and is really good
I can’t tolerate anime noises for hours. Put the entire game in the trash. *gaham*
I get it. Anime noises killed my interest in the Final Fantasy 7 remakes.
