My 6 month anime binge failed on episode 8 and I think its the shows fault, not mine
Last Friday I hit a wall 8 episodes into a 24 episode show my friend kept pushing on me. I had already sat through 14 hours of it, waiting for the twist everyone promised would hit by episode 10. Then the recap episode dropped and I just turned it off and stared at the ceiling. My buddy says I quit too early and that the payoff is worth it, but I say if a show needs 10 hours to get good, that is a writing problem, not a me problem. He thinks slow burns build better worlds. I think a slow burn that never lights is just a cold room. So where do you draw the line, episode 3, episode 8, or do you finish everything no matter what?
