Let's face it, sometimes when we watch anime, we can tell that the anime will end up as crap. Or sometimes there's something in it that annoys you to no end. Or something. Basically a factor that makes you feel that it's not worth watching, etc etc.
Yet for some reason, you watch it to the end despite it's horrendous problems. The rabid fangirlism/fanboyism, the 'mark' in you makes it tolerate all it's problems for something you just cannot miss in the mountain of garbage.
The "One" Factor.
I don't want to hear something like "for completions sake", or "just to see how bad it'll suck in the end or "faithful to the franchise" kind of stuff, else most people here will just name GSD. Seriously, for animes like that, just read spoilers. There's no need to go ahead and rant how it'll make you puke, etc etc etc etc. I'm not pointing fingers, but if there's really nothing in an anime that draws you to continue enjoying it, there's no point. I for one was entertained by GSD, so I don't really care. It made me laugh so much even when it's not trying to be funny.
For me, it's Yu-Gi-Oh. I find 90% of the anime to be horrible. The pacing, the needless flashbacks, the horrible inconsistent animation, the repetitive catchphrases, the lame characters, etc. It was horrible, especially the first filler. They made an anime about Ancient Egypt that revolves around the characters into one that revolves around protecting the world. Crap.
The only reason I watched it is because of....Seto Kaiba. That's the only reason I'll ever be thankful to the changes they made to the anime, simply because he's given MUCH MUCH more spotlight.
