Not an anime, but Dungeon Meshi was that for me a while. I asked a friend back then what it was like, and she told me I wouldn't like it. I trusted that and just read and watched other things instead. Fast forward a few years later, I picked up Dungeon Meshi again out of curiosity - she never actually answered what it was about - and I liked it for the monster food recipe gimmicks, even before it got into a more epic and intricate plot lol
Code Geass was another one - I assumed it was mecha-centric, and mecha just generally wasn't my cup of tea. Well. Turns out the mechas are just a small part of it.
