Finally got my friend to watch 'Vinland Saga' after a year of asking

We were just hanging out at his place last weekend, and he finally gave in and watched the first two episodes with me... He got totally quiet during Thorfinn's first big fight scene and just said 'Okay, you were right, this is incredible.' It felt like a huge win after all my failed attempts. Anyone else have a show that took forever to get someone to try?

@abbychen bro that AoT thing is SO real. My buddy bugged me for like two years about One Punch Man. I kept telling him the concept sounded dumb as hell, a bald guy who kills everything in one hit? Cmon. Same thing though, I finally caved one bored Sunday night and we binged the whole first season. That fight with Boros made me eat my words so fast. Now I tell everyone the same thing he told me, just watch the first three episodes. It literally never fails once they see Saitama deadpan his way through a monster attack.

Ha, I was the same with Attack on Titan. Thought it looked way too over the top at first. My brother wore me down and now it's one of my favorite shows ever.

Totally get that, @abbychen. I almost skipped it because the giant naked titans looked so silly in the ads. My friend made me watch the first episode and I was hooked by the end. The scene where Eren plugs the hole in the wall completely changed my mind. The show just gets deeper and more wild from there.
