@AtomicDog (AtomicDog) posted a new topic, subject "Guilty pleasures". It read:

   I used to avoid Dragonball Z like the plague. My son watched it avidly for years, but I just saw a bunch of characters standing around yelling insults at each other until they would start fighting and blasting.
    
    One day last fall I was going on like this until my son finally said, “Just try it for a week, Dad. You'll like it.” I took him up on it.
    
    I happened to come in on the Sayaman arc of the Buu Saga. In a week I was hooked. I had to catch up. I caught the Cell Saga. I developed a crush on Videl. I'm watching the stories with Raditz, and I'm wondering if Master Roshi will ever get lucky.
    
    God help me, I'm a DBZ addict! Yeah, I know, DBZ is hardly the epitome of Anime, but I can't help myself. What show are you ashamed of liking?

After which, @AtomicDog (AtomicDog) added

    Also, which shows or movies did you loathe until you finally decided to give them a chance, and then wound up becoming a fan?
