    I’ve never once had an anime fan force a show on me.

    I’ve had countless people try to force Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Breaking Bad, whatever the current “omg you HAVE to be watching this!” show of the moment is.

      Never met a Full Metal Alchemist or Steins;Gate fan before then I guess.

        Wouldn’t know. Never looked interesting to me, and the high pressure sales pitch from all the fans only made me less interested.

          Never looked interesting to me either, but if the consensus amongst certain people is that a show is good, I’ll give it a try to find out for myself.

          It only picked up buzz at season 3. Almost nobody who did watch full series did start with s1 on release.

          Imo, Breaking Bad is worth it. It kept being engaging from start to finish and haven’t overstayed its welcome like some other mainstream shows.

      I’ve seen it happen a decent amount of people do it with manga. Kagurabachi was a big one when the manga was coming out with it’s first chapters.
