I don't care about the manga, by you own description it was famous only because it was shocking not necessarily because it was a good story, a good writer can engage you from the beginning, don't you think?

I'm not going to buy the promise of some fantastic ending if you can't even pull a decent start... (it don't even promise me that fantastic ending at the beginning to at least try to hook me with it...)

I rather rewatch Hellsing or Berserk or Eva or whatever else that was inspired by it
