A guy at the anime club in Fresno bet me $20 that I'd drop any show after 3 episodes, and he was right
Back in 2019 this dude Marcus at our Thursday club meetup said most people quit slow burn shows around episode 3 or 4, and he put money on it with me and Attack on Titan. I made it to episode 3, got bored, and handed him the $20 right there in the parking lot, which still bugs me because everyone said it gets amazing later. Does the 3 episode rule actually work for you, or do you push through way longer before you bail on something?
