Just in general, what anime/manga did you like way more than you ever expected?
A few examples I can think of:
-Tiger and Bunny I watched when it was new, knowing NOTHING about it. Didn't expect it to be one of the best super hero shows ever.
-Full Metal Alchemist I watched an episode once way back in the day and didn't like. So when I tried it again, I was shocked at how good it was (I didn't know how critically acclaimed by everyone it was either, to be fair)
-When they aired the last Inuyasha anime fairly recently, I watched an episode that I genuinely loved, if nothing else. Which is shocking since I wasn't into what else I saw in the anime THAT much and I HATED Inuyasha back in the day.
-I didn't hate the 4kids One Piece dub at the time (at least in practice, in theory on the otherhand...). Because it's still One Piece so it was shockingly watchable, against all odds. /controversy
-I expected The World God Only Knows to be good. I didn't expect it to be borderline perfect.
-Watamote was just another otaku comedy thing, but it was actually a brilliant, dark look at the ****ed up minds of nerdy teenage girls.
-Black Lagoon is the only ultra dark anime (and practically series) I fully enjoyed it seems
And for manga my main example is easily Ai-Ren. Beautiful romance/slice of life story that very few people have read. It's a shame.
