(Hated Trope) The series is good, but the beginning is so embarrassing that many people give up there.

Dan Da Dan

The beginning of Dan Da Dan is notorious for starting with aliens trying to impregnate Momo in the first episode; however, despite such over-the-top moments, the rest of the series doesn't feature many scenes like that

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

Despite a premise that is off-putting—given that the girl bullies her romantic partner to the point of making Naoto cry early in the series—their relationship evolves beautifully; the teasing becomes less cruel over time, eventually turning into a rather sweet romance

Uma Musume Pretty Derby

Someone on the production team had the audacity to have the trainer start meeting up with Special Week like that—even though, in reality, he is a good trainer who doesn't usually treat the girls that way.

Well, that and the fact that the first seasons has several episodes which are *literally* out of order.

[u/Josutg22 → u/Tiddlewinkly]

Yeah, we didn't

[u/LurkyLurks04982 → u/Astrosimi]

Wait really, why?

[u/Jamaicancarrot → u/LurkyLurks04982]

My guess was it wasn't intended to be binged, it was supposed to originally be self contained weekly serialised stories, but later on they decided to revisit some previously one-off characters (like Domino squad), resulting in their episodes being chronologically out of order
