Agreed --You can't judge and anime on the first episode. Otherwise, you would never get through the awesomeness that is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya or many others.

Always watch at least three episodes before you decide whether or not it's worth your time.

That's just cause Haruhi is completely out of order.  Man...I watched that first episode...the video and I was like "wtf?  Did I download the wrong show?  People were telling me this is freaking awesome.".....but it is a great show.  I'm trying to think of other shows that you need to see more than one episode of to really get into.  Some of the shows I've seen are Monster of the Week type of shows (Witch Hunter Robin, Vampire Princess Miyu) and take 3/4 of the show fighting a different monster every episode until they get to a "story."

I seem to find that there are 3 types of anime: good, bearable, and bad.
most people agree on a certain set that is "good" and the rest are tossed about between all three catagories at once.
so i guess just stick with the ones mentioned mmost and then try an episode before devoting yourself to watching the whole thing.

Good.....bearable.....and bad?  Wow...clearly you either haven't seen a lot of anime, or the stuff you're watching isn't incredible.  If you don't like the first episode you stop watching?  It took me about 3 episodes to get into Mushishi, and it's one of the best I've seen.  It also took me about 3 episodes to get into Eureka Seven and that IS the best anime that I've ever seen.

Not only that! Good, bearable, and bad are very much what you can use to describe anything! It is like a scale! So, really, this guy is saying nothing insulting, although I gather that he is trying to. Good is like saying something is fun! Bearable is like saying that it is okay. Bad is like saying that something is no fun at all. This is basically how people learn to agree or disagree on certain things.

spluk:
well, sorry for that last post...
I am going to try and rephrase that.
Some anime are just above and beyond perfect.  Everybody agrees on which ones those are.
For example, after watching the first episde of Cowboy Bebop you know that it is going to be good.  Some are just that way.
Granted, some take more than one episode, Eureka 7 you said needed three and that's really because the first three where basically built as a 1hr special.
Also, an anime should be fun, are you supposed to be a slave to the anime?
After that, it the anime can still be good, but not everybody likes it.
Fefnir, for example, was rated highly on the anime group that i belonged to so i started to watch it and just could not finish it.
I couln't even get passed episode one, it just seemed to be so bogged down to me.  However, tons of other people liked it.
Sorceror Hunters is really good but i haven't been able to finish watching it, i don't know why.  Eventually i will though.
And then, some anime are just bad.  I haven't seen them but this guy seems to hate them (http://www.needcoffee.com/2007/08/27/five-worst-anime-titles-of-all-time/) Off of the top of my head i can't come up with any becasue a friend usually recommends to me the anime that i watch, not that i always agree with him.  Such as Trinity Blood, i found it scattered and non-sensical with ultimately nothing accomplished but he thought it was really good.
so, i messed up saying you should just watch the first episodes, but besides a few anime that get consistently praised, youl just have to try them for yourself.

muteKi:
Ah, the problem with the Trinity Blood anime is that because the art was, I felt, incredible, they had to rush to fit a whole lot of storyline in the few episodes they could make.

But yeah, it looks and sounds incredible. I have the soundtrack on my PC. It's very Final Fanatasy, which is not very suprising considering Takahito Eguchi did some of the music from X and X-2 before this project.

I don't know how much of the books the anime covered, but I do know that they tried to cram a lot of stuff in only a little space and as a result it suffered.

You should probably check out the manga or the light novels. I was actually impressed; the books were better written than I might have expected them to be.


Also, because I know a ton of crazy priests, the whole series is absolutely hilarious; there's a layer of almost meta-humor contained in it for me.
