What anime was an acquired taste for you?

Name me some of the anime you had to pause (drop/put on hold) and resume however many times before you were finally able to get into them; maybe even finish them, and if the hassle was worth it or a waste of your time? sonnerie telephone

I remember I had to pace myself for Higurashi. 1-2 episodes at a time but after that I had to put it down for a few days. I was having a good time but it was kinda just a lot to digest. I think I did stall out for a while after

the fingernail ripping scene

but I eventually went back and finished it.

 

 

 

Black Lagoon I think I was also kinda slow to warm up to but once I was hooked I was really hooked.

Funnily enough, I think I initially bounced off The World God Only Knows, as the initial episodes didn't showcase the show's strengths that well... The main reason I eventually got into it and discovered the emotional rollercoaster that followed (particularly in season 3) was my irrational completionist impulse. I just don't abandon shows, they only go on long hiatuses.
