No, I don't mean 'how much anime should you watch in general.' (Answer: as much as you want to, and no more. I'm not the boss of y'all.) I mean 'how much of a series should you have watched before you go recommend it to all and sundry.'
( We all know what the answer is, right? But we don't listen to our own good advice. Spoilers underneath the cut for a variety of anime. )
The reality is that Fandom isn't ever going to wait until the whole thing is done and only having an opinion then, because even in these days of Entire Seasons getting dropped all at once, there's still always the suspense of What If a second season (a third season, etcetera) and What Will It Contain. Sometimes, you just gotta chase the shiny thing. And if it turns out to be tarnished? Well, that's what fanfic is for.
