One Piece? Good from the get-go, but give it till episode 45. That's when the crew is complete with Sanji, and the dynamics really start to shine. Plus, the Baratie arc has some of the best fights early on!
I鈥檇 say around episode 80, during the Alabasta Arc. That's when the series introduces some serious plot and world-building. If you're not hooked by then, maybe it's not for you.
Honestly, One Piece starts to pick up the pace and gets really interesting around episode 31 when they enter the Grand Line. But if you're looking for the point when it goes from good to 'I-can't-stop-watching', wait for the Arlong Park arc, which starts at episode 31. The depth of storytelling and character development from that point onwards hooks you in for the long haul!
