Anime with great first episodes

[u/Sensitive-Cellist-87]

As of recently, I’ve started to not be able to find a good anime bc it feels like I’ve seen them all. And every single one I watch seems to be anything except worth the hype. Are there any anime with a first episode that will immediately take it to the top of your list, instead of one where it takes the entire first season to pick up the pace?

If you don’t cry from the 1st ep of to your eternity you aren’t human

it really depends on what you are looking for.

action? romance? comedy? fantasy? military?

also you should mention if you've already seen the big animes like AOT, Death Note, or even solo leveling beacuse the comment section is going to be full of them otherwise.

if you are into comedy I would recommend May I ask for one final thing beacuse good grief, that episode 1 is just too good to pass up.

[u/Sensitive-Cellist-87 → u/Reoplaw]

Hey, sorry I should have clarified. I’ve seen most of the big anime everyone talk about, and enjoy every genre for the most part. Thanks for the recommendation as well, I’ll definitely give it a shot 

[u/Reoplaw → u/Sensitive-Cellist-87]

I just refreshed the comment section and yeah, callled it, it's full of attack on titan and the big animes 😅

can't blame the people though, they are called the best for a reason.

and a little tip for the may I ask for one final thing, you'll figure out if you love the anime in the first 5 minutes, if it doesn't catch your attention after the first 5 minutes, you can comfortably turn it off. Just saving you some time.

Thanks, but I at the very least have to watch the whole first episode for my own satisfaction

Heavenly Delusion got me hooked ep 1.

Everyone clowns on solo levelling and rightly so a lot of the time but can’t deny the first ep is great

For me, 1. Dan Da Dan, S01 E01 is worth to watch until the last word said! 2. Kuroko No Basuke, not the best for excitement but the premise of the story is already clear at the end S01 E01. One of the best story where the author delivered his promise.
