For me it was Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Higurashi and School Days
, but out of curiosity, What are some anime series that gave a false first impression and ended up not being what you thought it was. |

I vaguely recall a similar thread, but since I don't know the title, there's no way I'd be able to find it.
That being said, I agree with the ones you pointed out. I'd also add Kiddy Grade. After episode 3, it became a very different show than I expected. It's one of the reasons why I started following the 3 episode rule. Cowboy BeBop also started differently, but the switch wasn't quite so abrupt. |

Xamd, aka Bonen no Xamdou~ First episode was action packed and bad ass, and then it just turned into snoozeville~

Probably the biggest surprise lately for me would have to be Gundam Age. I mean if you look at the art, it seems like a really kiddy show
. Then I started to watch it with an open-mind out of boredom and grew to like it alot (now I'm eating through all the episodes to catch up) |

The Best

School Days. Crazy ending out of nowhere. Didn't really care for that (and mostly because that's not where I expected the story to go--if I'd been expecting it, I would have been fine with it.)
Also Astarotte's Toy, which started off distinctly naughty but ended up being just very, very sweet. And I like both naughty and some kinds of sweet so the changed impression was still okay. Most recently Durarara!! Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide The first half-dozen or more episode seemed very "slice of life," with anything "weird" being just rumor. I was happy with that. Then it became very, very supernatural (and still slice of life-ish). I was also very happy with that. |

Mawaru Penguindrum. False first impression, for sure, but that doesn't mean I didn't like that false first impression. When it really picked up, though, it was awesome.

Haruhi. I watched it back when I was a kid and thought it was stupid and my cousin told me not to watch it. Two months later I was addicted to it. :\ And with Higurashi, I totally forgot how I got into it, but it was when I was, like, seven and I totally just loved it. Still watch it today. And now I realize that Keiichi had a total harem going on.
