Your friend sounds like he's being annoying, but depending on how good of a friend he is you might want to consider following along with the story, just so he can rave about it to you, since it sounds like he really loves it.

I don't mean you should profess to love it or anything. But if he loves it, he'd probably really appreciate watching it with you sometimes, or just talking about it with you. Unless your friend is not the sort of person to ever return the favor.

I think part of maintaining adult friendships is making an effort to support your friends interests. So like, I won't watch GoT with my friend because I really dislike it, but I will watch Covert Affairs with her even though I find it boring. But she watches X-Files with me, so it's a trade off.

That may be how your friendship works, but OP doesn't owe it to anyone to force themselves to follow something, especially if they've been hounded about it.

I passionately love Danny Phantom, but I don't expect my friends to pick it up and follow it just so I can talk to them about it.

That's why I said "you might want to consider" and not "you're a fucking monster if you don't do this OP."

And honestly, anybody who wants to have long, deep, healthy friendships in their adulthood would definitely do well to at least consider stuff like this. It doesn't mean you're a bad person if you don't do it, or that your friendships are doomed to fail. If that's what I meant, that's what I would have said. But the ability to recognize when something means a lot to our friends, and to gives them a little of our time so they can share that thing with is, tends to go a long way in friendships.

Still, telling the OP they might want to consider giving this particular (infamously loong) series a chances after they've already explained that they've tried reading ti in different forms and aren't interested just seems unnecessary
