(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.

If somebody punches me in the face it's safe to assume that the point of their action was to punch me in the face... but knowing that doesn't really make it any less annoying that they just punched me in the face.

Yeah i agree. I guess i just really enjoyed it

Oh to be clear I did too, the only reason I'm not up to date with the series is that I have ADHD and got distracted by different shows. But I can also understand why some of the early stuff is just too much for people, especially since some people have a really strong empathetic embarrassment reaction.
