"it gets better. I swear!"

One of the common gestures within Anime fans is that they always tell each other that a certain Anime will get better and make them sure that they will like it when they get to that part. It almost never works but everyone always says this line one way or another.

The question is, have you actually watched a series that did get better?

I do have some examples on my part.

Kobato. : What started out as an episodic "I need to collect wishes" thing turned into a really heartfelt drama in the end of its run. It really turned the tables for me, and I really was surprised that IT DID GET BETTER.

To Aru Majutsu no Index II: I might be alone is this sentiment but Index II really pushed through in its last arc. I really hated the whole running around in Dahaisesai or the Queen Fleet arc and it made me feel that Index would never evolve to its usual antics. Lo and behold, we get a pretty awesome (a bit clusterf*ck) big battle within the walls of Academy city, finally starting the whole Magic Vs. Science premise. It was something I had been waiting for a long time. Of course that Mikoto date episode was the best episode I have ever seen and a perfect way to turn around that stupid ship arc. I truly say Index II got BETTER I SWEAR.

Does anyone have other examples?
