Very good thread idea, and it's something I find myself needing a lot... which is of course why when it's finally made, nothing specific comes to mind! I'm just so wonderful that way.

So in lieu of any specific thought to offer, how about I kick things off with a topic starter? I've said elsewhere that something I like about Kobayashi's writing is that her series are ones that I might not enjoy that much at the time and don't see what the big deal's about, but I end up appreciating to a much greater degree later. OOO and Den-O are big examples of this; I may still not be big on Ryuki but I think more positively of it now than I used to; and outside of Rider I'd also extend this to Shinkenger, Go-Busters and Toqger.

All of that to say: does this bode true about any series to anyone else? Not necessarily Kobayashi; her series are just the best examples for me personally. But did anyone here maybe not like, say, Blade or Fourze or anything else on the first time round; but later on came to love them a lot more?
