He watched the first two episodes just because I really wanted him to and he is a good friend, so he obliged because he knew I was excited about it.
He wasn't sold after the first episode and said he would give it one more ep to captivate him, and shockingly enough the second episode did just that and now he is saying he is interested in finishing the season and asked me questions about season 2. He asked if it was going to remain a formulaic "villain-of-the-week" story, to which I told him really only for the rest of this season, and then the stakes get much higher. He actually said he didn't really mind having different villains though and found it entertaining.
I have to really give it to Jeff Ward. Buggy is a character that is so ridiculous that it risks driving away newcomers to the story... but he owned that role so well that it isn't really weird or a deal breaker for people unfamiliar with OP.
Anyway, I have successfully converted a friend. I doubt he'll get into the manga/anime because he isn't a fan of the artstyle and is intimidated by the length, but I consider this a victory ✌️
