There aren't that many anime that hit the ground with budget for more than a few episodes. If the first 3 ain't hitting, then its incredibly unlike that anything to follow will be worth the effort.
Once I realized this, I saved so much time, money, and sanity... Think about it though - you probably can't name a dozen shows that truly turn it around like that.
I usually do some research on shows before I watch em to avoid the trash. I should prioritize my shows better tho cause there's still some classics that I haven't seen like Berserk. I don't even know if I can name a show off top that really turned it around, for me they a show that starts off decent stays like a 6 or maybe goes up to a 7
I be on some BS tho cause I got shows on my watch list that are probably fire but I'd see 1 thing from an anime and be like " I gotta watch it" knowing it's probably just a 6 or a 7 while holding off something that's probably great
