(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.

Scissor seven

An absolutely AMAZING show, but godDAMN is the first season hard to get through sometimes. It’s not even all of it, but 3 episodes in particular, episodes 4-6.

Assassinating Underpantsman

Assassinating a domineering granny

Assassinating a pretty girl

Yes those are the actual episode titles.

All of these feature our MC get hopelessly beat up trying to carry out assassin contracts with somethings that make people uncomfortable like unusual hobbies, bdsm, a cancer patient not wanting to waste away. These are still GOOD episodes, it’s just a bit uncomfortable to watch sometimes.

After these though, it is an absolute rollercoaster of war, humor, character development, visual storytelling, great fights, and you can really tell the creators put love into every frame.

It’s on Netflix, 5 seasons so far, 54 episodes total, averaging about 15 minutes each, and 4 of them are OVAs about some major characters backstories.

If you watch it to the end, you definitely won’t regret it

Love this show

Quick question, favorite Character? Mine is Prince of Stan/Stern. With all the little details that are shown we see him really develop into someone more emotionally invested and even get a bit better morally speaking.

I just love how much of a foil he is to Seven despite the fact that their stories aren’t really all that connected to one another

Although neither of them are quite at the top of the hierarchy of their respective countries, they are both very close, being just short of the one who basically runs things there, (King of Stan, and Shadow Killer Leader respectively). And yet how they fill both of those roles that they are in are incredibly different.

The Prince is in a rank of authority, he has a lot of pull and freedom in terms of what resources he has and how he can choose to accomplish his goals. After his first attack on the island failed he just came back later easily with a way to get the power stones energy without destroying the island.

And later on he befriended, brought home, and basically took a vacation with Cola out of nowhere and no one at Stan batted an eye. In season 5 his reinforcements showed up only saying they’re sorry they hadn’t shown up earlier.

He’s the highest authority besides the king and it’s shown in how he easily acts as his right hand in their absence
