I had entirely the opposite reaction to Baccano!. I was left wondering what the show was about and overwhelmed by the size of the cast. I dropped it the first time around and only picked it up again when people here whose opinions I trust had good things to say about it.

I've been thinking about the opposite of this topic, shows where the first episode was so remarkable that you felt compelled to watch the rest. For me, that would be Seirei no Moribito with its calm opening with the spectacular depiction of the rice paddies followed by a terrific rescue scene and later a dramatic conclusion. I knew right away this series was a cut above the norm and was hooked immediately.
