Everyone wants each new series to be 100% perfect with complex characters and high-level story-telling from the start when that's just not how works with some stories and scenarios. For example, everyone holds Gaim on a pedestal, but it didn't get serious and start opening up what was really happening until about 12 episodes in. Ex-Aid you can say didn't really get serious until Genm killed Kiriya, which happened in the same episode as a literal Christmas musical number. While on the flipside, Build's storyline and plot direction meant it would be fairly complex from the get-go while its supplementary material and some later developments lead to silliness.

Toku's one of those mediums where, like it or not, you need to give it leeway before you really know if you're gonna enjoy it or not. That's just how these series work. Expecting to be totally satisfied and drawn in right out the gate's not possible imo.

Maybe not so, but it's a sign of a good show if you're drawn in straight away. Even I know the first 10 or so episodes are supposed to establish the world we're in and have a feel for the characters while planting seeds for the plot ahead. But if people are not enjoying it, then it's their choice to not like it and not watch it or have problems with it. Some people aren't going to wait for a show to find it's footing if they're not invested in it.
