[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9348873, member: 6796661"] But the fact that anime episodes are so short often creates a sense of them taking longer to pick up than they do. Because they are broken up into such short segments, it is easy to just nope out and not go on to the next episode. I think more people would get hooked if the content was in hour long episode. I would say give the show an hour. More often than not, the first couple of episodes of most anime's I've watched seem designed to hook a different type of viewer than me. Most anime shows just don't grab me. All of my favorites grew on me over about an hour or so of watching them before they hooked me. So my personal rule of thumb is to given them about an hour. If not for that rule, I would have missed out on Attack on Titan, Deathnote, Vox Machina, Delicious in Dungeon, and others. The only anime I can think of that hooked me in the first episode was Castlevania. [/QUOTE]
