I can't deny this lol. Sometimes you like it from the start, but the start is very corny since it was made in the 90s, so it doesn't grab everyone right away, but it matures really well over time and becomes more timeless. But even then I have to admit it can be an acquired taste with its cartoony style and wacky characters/world.

It's a typical shounen with all it's troupes and cringy narrative. The start shouldn't shock people. It actually manages to grab people quickly enough compared to other shounens at their beginning.

Over the years the story matures and develops accompanying their audience. The beginning was for teens and now it still has the same fans and followers that are in their thirties.

It's hard for shows that are so long lived to maintain their engagement.
