So very, very untrue. If you honestly feel that way, then you're missing out on alot of great stuff. In fact, the best stuff.

I doubt there's a series in history, anime, live action or anything else that I've seen, that I'd like if I thought that way.
I'll continue with it if I've heard enough good stuff about it, but if by the third disk they're still going nowhere, .

Just as with everything in the world, your attention should be caught from the beggining. For example. Cowboy Bebop's first episode wasn't giving me daydreams about continuing the serise, but episode 5 (the greatest episode of anything in anime history) put the series on my mind for a long time, obviously forcing me to buy the next disk.

It dosn't have to reveal everything in the first disk, but if in those 4-5 episodes it dosn't make you wanna see more, it's failed.
