I remember when I was in 6th grade and my friends recommended Bleach for me. So I was like okay maybe it's actually good.

I went to watch the 1st episode and just found the main character to be really boring tbh. Also the monsters are just meh. Nothing seems special about it.
The monsters actually don't matter in this series they are only in like first 10/15 episodes. There are normal enemies later.

You are right. Perhaps the manga is worth another shot. Ty
I was a hardcore OP hater Lol Lol and even participated in discussions about why Naruto was far better than One Piece, why the animation was worse than any manga I had ever seen Lol. I could not understand its popularity and why fans say that its art was amazing which I found ironic at first. Had to get into the series(manga) to really grasp its greatness.

Lel I wouldn't say I dislike OP. I have seen up to skypiea arc. And then after that it's been on and off really. Does it pick up from that point?

Cowboy bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Code Geass. I don't know why, but its been about 8 years since I last tried actually watching them (probably 6 for Code Geass). I would probably like them now to be honest if I gave them another chance.

For some reason i don't get into a popular manga without watching the anime first to catch up in a sorta fast pace with the manga, one piece animation is not appealing to me at all. Do not about the manga but i heard it's the same thing as the anime.
One Piece isn't one of the mangas where you have to catch up to understand its greatness. 2 arcs or so and it starts to get really interesting. It is one of these series which hardly disappoint at all.

I actually liked every popular anime that I've tried to watch, u just have to give them chance, not drop it after few episodes. The only one that i didnt get much into it after watching like 15/20 episodes is Gintama, dont like pure comedy series, it's not for me.

I thought Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo weren't that popular? Not compared to series like One Piece, KnB, and shit.

How many chapters do i have to read to catch up to those 2 arcs though, that's the question.

Some are the characters and some are the animations that disturbs me .

To be honest, I would not be able to bear the skypiea arc in the anime but in the manga, this arc was a 8.5/10. The anime gets worse from this point but the manga keeps on getting better.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn (I dropped around ep 15 I think) I will probably watch it one day though
Other then that I don't usually drop anime, other than some seasonal sh!t that turns out to be harem or over the top ecchi
I do shy away from watching certain titles, for example till this day I never tried Death Note, did not watch Tokyo Ghoul or Akame ga Kill
I stopped watching Bleach after Aizen's defeat. I wanted to pick up the manga but I see on a regular basis here that Kubo is a troll and everything is an aspull so I don't think I can handle another Naruto right now, it damaged my brain enough

I'm not fond of sport anime (Haikyuu was an exception)
And i mean the whole Dragon Ball series,the whole anime is just too ridiculous for me.
I haven't tried Haikyuu yet, KnB has supernatural moves though, beast mode i should say.

I guess i could get into it because i was a kid by that time and it was awesome back then, now they're remaking the series, ima give it a try.

One Piece, though I'll catch up with it one day, it's just too many chapters/episodes for me.
And I dropped Fairy Tail after 100+ ep.


To all of the people, who didn't watch HxH, Code Geass and Death Note, you should really, really watch them.
Other than that, I really love Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Bleach as well, but they're not for everybody.
KHR takes a lot of time to get good. I dropped that series 3-4 times, but at the 5th shot, I just watched all episodes in maybe a week.
And as for Bleach, for me personally it has a slow start as well, but after chapter 100 it gets better and better.
