I’ve watched 19 episodes in Kill la Kill for the heck of it. At that point, I had the impresion that I was wasting my time.
If someone recommends me anime, I’d prefer anime with very good first episodes, because the first episodes of other series weren’t enough.
I watched one episode of One Punch Man and I dropped it. I watched one episode of My Hero Academia and I didn’t root for the kid. I watched one episode of Sword Art Online and I didn’t like it.
If a producer wants me to keep watching an anime series, make sure the first episode is actually good. I don’t care for the “3 episodes” rule. I’ve wasted so much time with Kill la Kill (and handling a very annoying fanbase at the same time, I must add) that 3 episodes aren’t gonna be enough.
I just don’t like anime not respecting my time.
