Dan Da Dan

The beginning of Dan Da Dan is notorious for starting with aliens trying to impregnate Momo in the first episode; however, despite such over-the-top moments, the rest of the series doesn't feature many scenes like that

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

Despite a premise that is off-putting—given that the girl bullies her romantic partner to the point of making Naoto cry early in the series—their relationship evolves beautifully; the teasing becomes less cruel over time, eventually turning into a rather sweet romance

Uma Musume Pretty Derby

Someone on the production team had the audacity to have the trainer start meeting up with Special Week like that—even though, in reality, he is a good trainer who doesn't usually treat the girls that way.

I watched the entire series with my husband who loved the show and I told him after ever season... this is just a nerd's wet dream. Seriously, re-view it and tell me I'm wrong.

In all fairness, if you asked a lot of women if they could be a possession of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa in his prime villainy role, they'd probably jump at the chance.

Still a dumb episode, but still.
